The lad has done wrong. WST now need to follow a fair and due process not just bow to people's demands. If i did something wrong i would expect my employer to do the same and look at all the circumstances.
If say a custodial sentence had been passed then he wouldnt have been able to play anyway and his tour card would have to be cancelled. The courts did not deem this severe enough to pass such a sentence though.
I don’t understand why you keep beating this drum.

There is nothing on WPBSA news or disciplinary web site yet.
They could provisionally suspend him before the world's I think, but the full process would take longer.

He’s been suspended from taking part in the World Championship.

Just a little summary of Ferguson’s statement.

I think any points you've made from him should be shared out amongst the bottom 3 in the table, seeing as you are at the top.

I am glad that there wasn't a trial by social media. This is how these cases should be with correct punishment given by a court.
Wenbo is a bucking idiot. He has had a few punches to the table in recent years so the 'anger' management issue has always been there but still surprised.
Whether his punishment is enough remains to be seen. Is this worse than match fixing? In my opinion it is but the sentence isn't anywhere near the 16 years Stephen Lee got but don't know all the facts with Wenbo.

Funny, except Bo isn't pronounced bo but bwor, none of the non chinese people in snooker or the commentators ever said his first name right. Anyhow if he never plays again they won't have much need to announce him, very disappointed to hear about this, what a disgrace.

Just saw this thread. Never knew Liang did that. Surely he must have had a reason. Don't think he would just randomly hit a woman on the street.

I dunno. Perhaps she assaulted him with a knife and he got mad. Perhaps she was an ex girldfriend and he found her cheating with a friend of his. Perhaps he was drunk and mistook her for someone else.
But there must be a reason. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense for him to hit a random woman of the street.

I'm sure if there had been mitigating circumstances, it would have come out in court and would have had to have been included in an article about it.
Not that I particularly care 'why' he did it.

But they probably came up in court. No sane man hits a random woman on the street, it makes no sense.

Stop trying to find a justification for a vicious assault. And buck off.
