I think it was Brendan Moore who got the hump with me once in a hotel bar. But I was so drunk, it might've been Paul Collier, I can't really remember.

Yea
Ronnie was averaging over 40 once because someone was taken ill and they forgot to stop the clock. Ronnie got it down to about 25 by the end of the match but you cant use teckno like this to fine people ffs.

I think Hearn should start fining players who's AST is more than 30 seconds over the course of a tournament.

How will that Work
a player losing 4-0 he gets 5 Shots 2 breakoffs and 3 in a snooker he could easily be over 40 seconds and his tournament over

I think you'd have to use a bit of common sense there. The chances of something like that happening are incredibly slim.

What did you do?
This was at the English Open at Manchester.
I'd got back to my hotel from the Semi-Final at about half-ten, and asked if the bar was still open. I intended to have one drink before going to bed.
Anyway, I got talking and it was suddenly getting on for 2am. I'd done a good job of ignoring the fact that the referees were all sat at a table drinking. But as I was going to bed, I saw said referee, and went; "You're up a bit late, aint ya? Aint you got work tomorrow?" Anyway, he didn't see the funny side, and said rather angrily; "What did you say?" I bottled it a bit, and went; "Naaah, sorry mate. Just having a joke. Sorry, I've had a drink. Sorry, sorry." And hurried off.
Miserable git.

Lee Walker should definitely be fined. He's breaking that 30 second AST rule all the time. Even if he wins 4:0 and has 100% table time.

That certainly sounds more like Paul Collier than Brendan Moore. What a miserable bugger, talk about engaging with fans.

This was quite recent wasn't it? I remember thinking at the time it would affect his current standing on the list. (Teppy went into the lead.) Not that it's a big deal

If she looks at him aggressively and says 'snookerfan, buck me!' the poor lad will soil his pants and disappear quicker than Lord Lucan.

When I first met Michaela, I blurted out; "You're the best referee...." And she asked if I meant best or prettiest.
I said; "I dunno. Jan Verhaas is pretty good looking."
She looked at me funny.
I don't think referees get my sense of humour.
