I wonder if any of you talking dirt could beat this man with the 5 out. Sad what this forum has become.

Actually, it's not sad at all! The really sad part is how people like you can't see the real good this doing for Mike! It's ok, some people can see the good out of it, and some can't! If you're only looking at the negative, take your blinders off;) almost everyone here is trying make Mike shape up! If he wants to keep up his attitude, then he can stay right where he is at, stay in New England and win tournaments with a bunch of players I can give a game to! He can have his appartment paid for by his sponser for as long as he can ride it.

OR

He can shape up, and take the WORLD on! Maybe even become a legend! All he is right now is a good pool player!

I had a conversation with Mike a yr ago. My words to him were lose the sh'tty attitude and put the proper time into the game and put svb into 2nd place! I was saying this as encouragement, but his fat headed smug attitude told me he still wasn't ready!

Wondering if his head deflated? Time will tell! Johnny Archer told me because of his attitude people are not going to be inviting him tournaments. I told this to Mike, if I remember correctly his comment was "archer doesn't know what fu@k he's talking about"!

You probably didn't notice that there were hardly any other clever head-size insults so yours are certainly timely.

What you also may not have noticed is that Johnny Archer hasn't been, for quite some time, anybody's go-to guy for reliable info. Sad but true.

best,

Lmao:):):). Ok, so are you saying with current situation Mike is in, that my statement is a complete falsehood? Remember, you can be a has been and still call it right every once in a while! Just sayin;) but like Jay and I agree on, "time will tell"!

You may think I only bash Mike, but please read my posts thoroughly, I do want him to succeed! And if it bothers the way a write about him with the negative things, I'm sorry! But, I feel because I know him on a somewhat personal basis, I have that right! Mike knows who I am and I know who he is! I saw him a couple weeks ago at snookers, he was 5 ft behind me, if he had a relevant argument about my opinion, he could of said something, he didn't!

I will say this, I do applaud your trying to stick up for him:) it's commendable!

or maybe, Mark Wilson really wants MD for Mosconi - but needs him to clean it up ASAP....

or maybe, MatchRoom wants continuous Mosconi publicity from now till DEC....

or maybe, MD's learning the lesson that all promoters are trying to send to certain players....

or maybe, ______________________________ ....

Alright Mike, are you having Clyde write for you or what?

Just kidding, buddy.
Excellent post and I hope you make it next year.
We all know you deserve it based on the way you play.

Regards,
Koop

I think i did write this lol!!! just kidding
 
This was arguably the best way to have handled this.. Acknowledging that Mark's decision is final and was made with valid authority (implying competence) and recognizing the futility in hashing out the probable reasons or causes.

We are responsible for our own behavior and can only make changes in the present and future. It is a sure sign of maturity and presence of mind to realize this and act accordingly. Your already amazing talent will only become more effective as this truth becomes more and more a part of your game. Each shot is it's own, individual effort.. As is every time you open your mouth or write a post... And worthy of your best intent and presence of mind.

If this post and your recent play are any indication... You are not shooting till you are ready to hit the mark.

Keep it up. :-)
