That's not the point. You just said his biggest mistake was calling lower ranked players mediocre and he never said that. You're just as bad as the anti-Hearn brigade coming out with stuff like that. It's misleading, he never said it as you made out he said it.

The feeling that I got when I was up there talking to some of them that this vote is going to be a lot closer than people think & the more players that vote the less chance there is of Barry Hearn staying in. Which is a bit of a worry.

It's a lot of a worry if you ask me. Just goes to show, a lot of snooker players obviously bunked off school to practice their snooker.

it was a mistake being open to be interpreted to have said that..

he did use mediocrity thats without doubt and some will take that as "barry hearn called me mediocre so the hammer can go to hell"
