To have Dennis Taylor stop perving on the player's wives. No wonder that guy needs such big glasses, hey. We all know what he's been doing.

its simple
Hann did the same offence as Higgins
so if Higgins punishment is only 6 months then Hann is long overdue a return to tour, scrap his unjust 8 year ban, hes already served over half of it

You have said that Higgins 6 months was unjust. Are you saying Hann should only have got 6 months?
Also don't forget that Hann retired. He now claims to be a millionaire living in Australia.

no im saying if Higgins is only getting 6 months then so shoulda Hann so he should immediately be reinstated onto the tour
but if Hanns 8 year ban stands (which it does sadly) then Higgins for committing an identical offence, should have been given an identical punishment to prove the WPSBA are serious and also that theres no double standards.

Can you explain just how you see the two incidents as being "Identical"?

Hann had the right to defend himself. His mum an he came straight out after the allegations and claimed he was innocent and they had proof, yet he put up no defense. He claimed he didn't want to pay for the defense because it was costly and there was no money on the tour
He could still appeal against his ban, try and get it reduced and enter the Q school.
For me it will be far more interesting to see what Maguire and Burnett get....if the rumours are true its only a matter of time.

so in a way what hann did will be forgiven by you then so you dont want Higgins banned for life.
if i was in your shoes and your beliefs id be saying thank god they got rid of one cheating scum and not wanting a cheating scum reinstated

Higgins pleaded innocent. Hann admitted guilt. Thats a pretty big difference in my books.

Hann didnt contest the charges, he claimed to be guilty but didnt mount a case as the evidence was damning. Maybe he shoulda plucked a "mafia" story from thin air too

Sorry Witz, i didnt know that you were there in the Hotel room and witnessed everything first hand and are therefor an authority on the incident.
I still cant see how you link the two incidents as identical when they are actually (legally) polls apart.
Thats my last word on the matter, i hope you have a good weekend

Witz... you know my views are quite similar to yours on this issue...
But the way you're going on about this, you'd swear you've never done anything out of the way your entire life? I hate to single you out, as there have been a few more absolutely begging for blood too.

no tribuneral can second guess a charge so if he didnt mount a case it was admitting guilt and received a lengthy ban.
What else could they do ban him for 6 months then alow him back to play without having the case tried.

Witz the òffences `are not the same. Of course Hann claimed his innocence but never gave an argument as to how he was innocent. And let`s not bring Maguire into this, otherwise Jimmy will be pulled up for being a part of the Fransisco scam in 95
Maguire had NOTHING to do with it. It would only take 2 to tango if Burnett had been on a 9-8 to lose. He`s a good player and good enough to win 3 frames over 17. Made three tons the other day FFS

It's still not a guarantee. If you were going to fix it, you'd leave nothing to doubt. Surely.

How can you be so certain that Burnett is guilty and Maguire innocent? They are both being investigated by the police and have both been referred to the fiscal procurator (which would indicate that there a elements worth further investigation concerning both of them) and until the judgement is out they are both presumably innocent. May I remind you once more that the charges are NOT about "trying to lose", they are about match fixing to allow a betting scam.

we dont really know anything about the Burnett case some of Scotland's finest are snake hissing against the wind getting nowhere fast.
but Regarding Hann and Higgins there are substantial differences in how they being punished because one stand his ground and the other snake hissed off like the coward he is.

Its just like Ronnie and Alex getting different punishments.
Alex jabs Randle in the ribs in 1990 and gets a ban for a year
Ronnie nuts Ganley in the head in 1996 and gets a 20k fine.
Another inconsistency.

i do expect if Ronnie does anything like that again the punishment WILL be increasing
