JJ my favorite player involved in this?

Lifted from MS forums




Harsh words were exchanged between Mika Immonen and Jeremy Jones after their match on Table 2, which Mika won.

After a bad fluke by Mika he said "I guess we're even" in reference to another stroke of good luck by Jeremy.

Jones took exception and they had words soon after. This continued after the match. They almost took their argument outside.

Jones reportedly accused Immonen of being gay, calling him a F____t. I spoke to Jeremy and he did not retract this, saying that Mika "jumps the fence." He also said that Mika had no class because Jones, after luckily snookering Mika eralier after a missed, raised his hand in apology, while when Mika hit a lucky fluke he instead made his "I guess we're even" comment.

Supposedly the referee did not intervene in the argument sufficiently.

Mika also told afterwards that Jones once borrowed $700 from him and it took one and a half years to get paid, recounting how Jones tried to avoid Mika afterwards. He said "you can see what kind of guy he is." Mika told me he was only speaking to himself when he made the "now we're even comment." Immonen maintains that he allowed Jones to continue his outbursts and only said "are you done?" after each tirade.

This all happened an hour ago. I didnt see it but I spoke to eyewitnesses and spoke to both players.

In 4 years of WPC this is the most bizarre incident I've ever known to happen at this event.



Note-IS Mika saying "i guess we are even" really that big of a sin? Afterall, he is at the table -IM just not seeing that as something to be hung for. What do you think Cardinal sin or not?

If any or all of these things actually happened, why would you bother "reporting" it? I can't see anything good coming from it. Unless of course you are trying to promote pool in the same manner WWE does rassling.
 
So Jeremy Jones called Mika a f****t? If that's true he's way out of line no matter what happened during the match.

On the website for the world pool championships they noted there was some arguing during the match but no details.

Funny thing is, it's only an insult if you're not one.

Just goes to show that a certain 'other' person isn't the only one that pulls that kind of stuff. It's just that the cameras follow the 'other' person around and catch everything he does.

still don't make it right.
 
Im gonna have to bet another 200 on Jeremy...I mean the dude listens to rap music..He gotta be hardcore...


bUT ON A REAL NOTE..wHEN SOMEBODY IS GETTIN BAD ROLLS AND LOSIN THEY ARE PROBABLY ALREADY MAD OR UPSET.COMMENTS USUALLY TRIGGER SOMETHIN....tHATs MY BOY...wE TAUGHT HIM THAT HERE AT LEGENDS...WelcomE to Tx...
 
Both players are super nice off the table.

On the table, I have seen Mika, in particular to have a not-so-pleasant tableside demeanor.

Jeremy Jones, every time I have seen him play in tournaments, he is usually quiet, soft-spoken, and very unassuming.

Mika must have pissed him off royally for Jeremy to ever respond in such a manner.

That said, though, the three sides to the story rule applies here. :p

I think that your statement says a lot in that Jeremy is usually quiet and soft spoken. If it got to the level that the original poster mentioned, I would take a stab that something caused such a response. I would have to stick with JJ on this one as I know his demeanor.

Mika has problems with other players too, maybe he isn't a very nice person

Mika has been in this type of situation in the past. I remember Flaco made a lucky shot against Mika during a regional open tournaent. A moment later he overheard Mika make a snide remark about the shot. Shades of Balukus during her infamous "Beat me with skill, not luck" match. :) Flaco went off on a tirade, comparing [the Fin] to Adolf Hitler. Mika has incredible self control during these disputes. In any case, Mika won the match, but it was closer in the beginning than the end.

I've always felt, when another player does that too you, they see your concentrating and will be difficult to beat, so that person intentionally does it to get the dough or the needed win in a difficult spot. If its an old pissin' contest........we know the rest of that story.
