I was quite puzzled when this poster accused me of being biased in favor of women. After my numerous replies concerning Dr Dave's article on gender in pool, a couple of posters accused me of being biased in the other direction. Still, I continued the dialogue with that poster for as long as I could tolerate it.

If it makes you feel any better, I like women also

You can't set your VPN to somewhere in the UK and get sky for free? Of does Sky just not work that way?

nope, sky sports is a pay channel about the same cost as viasat. WNTTV is a sweet deal for me even including the vpn

WTH , AJ Manas? Dumbest decision of the decade
Matchroom has lost the plot and making it up as they go.
Last year Reyes Cup (RC) they follow MC qualification criteria 3 by rankings+2 wildcards https://matchroompool.com/reyes-cup...yes-cup-to-launch-in-the-philippines-in-2024/
This year they changed to 2 by rankings+ 3 captains pick /wildcards. https://matchroompool.com/news/the-road-to-reyes-cup-and-mosconi-cup-2025-players-qualification

MR should be goalpost manufacturer instead cos they like to shift goalpost.

Well, it _is_ an exhibition, and Manas is one of the youngest Pinoy up-and-comers, who will probably help draw Filipino viewership and/or sponsorship for years to come. I really don't see what all the brouhaha is about.

I just wish they would start including a woman or two per team. I would love to see Rubilen Amit and Chezka Centeno be on the Asian team, whoever on the World team.
