When you hiering people for a post of TV Presenter in Belgium the thought of interviewing Snooker Players not high on their agenda.
He could speak English of sorts thats all you can hope for.

he won 3 or 4 black ball deciders didnt he?
maybe some of those opponents bottled them, but its not Jimmy's fault.
All players who win tournaments are bound to get lucky moments at least once. But if they make the most of them then credit to them.

Okay Andre. I give him credit for capitalising on his good fortune. Not only was he lucky his early opponents 'choked' but most of the big names didn't even play and Selby wasn't interested having won last week.

Didn't 12 of the top 16 take part?

O'Sullivan, Higgins, and Williams didn't play and Selby was shattered. The others are second rate whatever their ranking is.

I think if Jimmy was 10 years younger, people would not try to devalue this win, instead would celebrate a new talent on the block very happily.
But let’s remember, not everyone is a prodigy like Hendry or ROS. Perhaps Jimmy is a later bloomer like Stuart Bingham. Nothing wrong with that.
Nowadays, players play well into their late 40s anyway. So early 30s is not an old age on snooker terms anymore actually.

Why not best of 13 matches and cut down on main draw from 64 to 32?

You keep trying to light my fuse but since my ban and re-integration with Wildey as my behaviour mentor I am above your provocation.. Wildey has taught me it is best not to react so you will have to find another ruse.

I know nothing about your ban Badsnookerplayer and the fact that Wildey is your mentor. I didn't even realise that you were a Jimmy Robertson fan.
I am not trying to annoy fans of Jimmy Roberston but I cannot see how snooker in Europe is going to grow if 'clowns' like him win titles.

I have a webinar with Wildey tomorrow as part of my re-integration. I will be discussing anger management. One of the greatest things he has taught me is that peace is more powerful than conflict.
I asked him how he manages to stay so calm, and he said - and I think this is an original Wildey quote as he paused for a good fifteen seconds - "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace"
You would do well to heed that.

that's one of the weirdest trophies I've seen. Not necessarly the worst, just weird.

How was Selby not interested?
Higgins was the one who pulled out. Selby was the one who played in Belgium 48 hours after playing in China.
