It might take a brain surgeon, but definitely not a rocket scientist to figure out that Filler et al might have been presented incorrect information at the meeting held during the Matchroom event. It is far more difficult for them to have to produce statements afterwards detailing why they are...

If someone lied to you and told you that they were an 800 Fargo and you gave them "your word" that you would bet $10,000 on them against a 600 Fargo. However, just before the bet you found out that he is a 400 Fargo. Would you stick to "your word" an still place the $10,000 bet on him? If you...

I think you are a reasonable person so I would urge that you try look at the situation without bias. I think Filler's explanation of the the situation was reasonable and in-depth even though a lot of people read it as self-fulfilling. All you need to do is put yourself in his position and see...

Guess not everyone likes the Matchroom concocted Kool-Aid. They are beginning to realize it can starve them and their families to death 😆 Not everyone can make a living playing Matchroom events only. That's the reality of life.

Well they had to cater to play in the World 9 ball, solidarity can only go so far you know 😉 The whole thing is a joke to me. Unfortunately, Albin and Josh were placed in a compromising position during a MR event and fell for the bait where they signed a statement that could have them...

Thanks. Why doesn't the WPA treat the Hanoi Open as sanctioned? Is there a turf war for Vietnam? I remember listening to a Podcast where the WPA president said that Matchroom was forced to change the name from Vietnam Open to Hanoi Open because apparently WPA has the right on country's...

Okay, good point if you are correct. I didn't know that. I thought it was a WPA sanctioned event.

And the great Shylock wanted his pound of flesh because he had a contract 😆 Albin and Josh clearly elaborated that they made a mistake in signing the prepared statement. Maybe Americans don't make mistakes, but people in the rest of the world do and readily admit it.

Again, the US Open IS a WPA sanctioned event, why that doesn't count for solidarity?? It's all BS arguments.

I believe that even with all the hoopla Matchroom would still prefer to have its events sanctioned by WPA. I am not sure why ... maybe it's because the events will have the oversight of a "governing" body making them more acceptable to governments???

I thought the "solidarity" was to boycott all WPA sanctioned events. I don't think Predator ever banned a pool player. In fact, Yapp was allowed to play in Predator events under a white flag. Totally agree that the Asian Federation blanket ban is ridiculous. If it was over a clash of...

Why doesn't his statement make him look good? He stated the facts and outlined his decision making at the time. I think it is quite rational what he did, but then again everyone has their own opinion. Filler couldn't have said it any better: I’m glad everyone out there knows better about my...

I get what you are saying. I work at a high level for a regulatory agency so I know all about politics, threats, back-stabbing etc. Obviously misinformation was flowing about per Filler's post: The evening before the last 64 at the European Open in Fulda we had a meeting with the tone that...

Just curious why you think so per the bold? WPA/Asian Federation and Matchroom are competitors, aren't they?

Well his words couldn't be clearer: I’ve made a mistake. I should have NOT posted the statement without thinking about what the consequences are or could be. Maybe it was not peer pressure, but pressure from HRH herself 😁. Ever noticed all the social media posts from the "wnt pros" sucking up...

You call what he did herd mentality following HRH Emily directions.

Albin is right. They all signed a statement drafted by HRH Emily without thinking.

Maybe only heroes like you would boycott an event put on by your sponsor. Others do have brains.

I know the question is not directed to me, but let me think .... hmm Jefrey Roda?

If you go back and look at the clip at the Mosconi Cup where he committed the time foul after asking for the ball to be cleaned you will clearly see the handprint on the rail ... actually a commentator pointed it out.
