Trump will turn it around maybe not this season but he certainly is the future of snooker.


You can't guarantee anything. We'll just have to wait and see.

He won't win the Worlds because he'll lose to Carter in the second round with a session to spare. :john:

What more do you want? It was from his management company. Admittedly it was paraphrased, but the gist of the tweets was that he couldn't sit next to his friend on the plane and decided not to continue.

And makes a century as well. Looks like Higginson has had finally got that loss to Ronnie out of head.

Of course he could lose from 3-0 up and be back to square one rofl.

Should have given O'Sullivan's place to the number 25 on the order of merit to be honest. As for the man himself, who cares? Par for the course.

I think it was very short notice. We literally found out hours ago, and it would take time for Michael White to get over to Ireland.

1. I need quotes from respectables sources
2. These tweets are serious accusations because they say indirectly that Ronnie is a faker and has a questionable character

No offense but I don't think White would have had a chance in match against Walden anyway

At least deserved the chance to prove it. :shrug: Still what's done is done. We'll just have to put the whole incident out of our minds and try and enjoy the tournament.

Of course but it's not like we are talking about Allen who would have had a realistic chance to win 70.000 grand ...

Is his management company not respectable enough? Also in the next tweet they did mention that it was confirmed by his doctor that he is still suffering from the disease.

Give me quotes then we are talking. Also what Sonny wrote sounded like he wouldn't get on the plane only because he couldn't sit next to his friend ...

Possibly wasn't the only reason, but he was well enough to board the plane.
