What would have been the point to enter knowing he wouldn't have got his visa in time? Do you think he wants to be fined on top of it?
Remember entry deadline was only 10 days ago. So he would have known by then.

Well I think there was a point, or at least there is a lesson to be learnt from it. His case and Mohamed Khairy as well show how difficult it is for some players coming from specific countries to get a visa to work in UK. If WSA/WS were no aware how difficult it is to get a work visa in UK if you come from certain -mainly Muslim - countries now they should know. I don't think WSA could do anything to speed things up, but maybe they could think of alternative solutions. Why not for instance give the players a choice to enter for the new season or the season to follow? This way players coming from countries like Iran would have a full year to sort the situation out.

But its not even UK is it Paul Hunter Classic players don't even need to put a foot in to the UK and yet Ayouri still cant play.

i saw him during the 6 reds and was impressed with him .....a real shame for him and the Sport.

I'm going to try and get to watch as much of this as I can, but it's my dad's birthday on Saturday, and am doing family stuff most of the weekend. The inconsiderate nature of some people, being born in August. :grrr:

Hopefully I can catch a frame here or there. :D
