I really like this suggestion and agree 100% that the difference in standard would be negligible. Perhaps it could also have the positive knock-on effect of giving those amateur players from different nations the all important experience to aid them when they do turn professional, much like in...

Can't argue with any of that. Maybe my diplomacy comes from sitting on the European side of the fence. :wink:

I like Wilson and believe he deserves at least a second shot at this. However, I thought he was brought in as captain to specifically address the points above? Morale and getting to the practice tables in good time should surely fall under the remit of the captain? If not then why not simply...

Latest blog post on this exact topic with a couple of stats thrown in for good measure :) https://superfluoussweatband.wordpress.com/

Of course, totally understand. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Totally understand your thoughts but as a fan I'd still be in favour of seeing this criteria introduced. Although Mark Gray qualified, let's not forget that Matchroom chose to include Darren Appleton and Karl Boyes. Yes, they won the WCOP but Europeans have won big tournaments in the past...

Hi vjmehra, thanks for having a read and for your comment. Before this year's event I felt exactly the same way but you know the more I think about the concept of only one player per country/state the more I like it. It is an exhibition after all.

Further opinion on the Mosconi Cup from the other side of the Atlantic here - http://superfluoussweatband.wordpress.com

With respect, I disagree. I believe Wilson's attempt to rejuvenate the sense of 'team' in the US players has the chance to notch more racks in this year's event than sending SVB out to Japan. Sending all five however, now that would be two birds with one stone. Moving forward of course, you're...

Just watched it back and I agree that Niels' leave for Nick from 6 to 7 was ok - I don't understand the argument that simply because he had time to study the leave the stopshot was the wrong shot. In my opinion, Nick got the pace good when making the 7 but his line was too cautious, probably...

Latest blog - this time the subject of why Snooker is the match-fixer's paradise http://superfluoussweatband.wordpress.com/2014/06/12/miss-undrstood/

small post on snooker and pool divide http://superfluoussweatband.wordpress.com/

I guess this could be an argument for both sides here but - Morgan, Dale, Drago, Davis, Hann, O'Sullivan, Ford, Johnson, Thorburn, Williams, White & Selby. 28 World Snooker Finals I make it. All competed in individual world level American Pool tournaments including World Championships...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/snooker/25137468 Very relevant and very recent.

This story lightened up my morning and will no doubt be rolled out again when fighting the good fight against the Snooker Snobs.

I have to disagree on just one point. I would buy far more PPV matches if the internet commentary style was more like its television counterpart. Far from liking the stories - they ruin the production IMO! On topic though, I like all four of this year's comm team. All professionals doing a...

Nick Halling I think.

Yet, to my knowledge, people who purchased the season package haven't even had the courtesy of a reply to their emails. I have far more sympathy with these people than anyone else.

I'd also like to say great work with the statistics - a fascinating read with gold dust sprinkled on top for genuine fans. With regards to the psychology of the push and how that differs between the breaker and non-breaker, I would venture that the breaker is looking to consolidate after a...

But Poland were given the same number of spotsas host last year weren't they?
