He's a toad. I don't get why women snooker players don't get as much credence and/or money as male players. In football and rugby they can bullcrap that women don't have the physical prowess but snooker?! Even playing field, I think!!  |

I hate him and have done for many years Theyre allowed to enter the same tournaments , theyre just not up to snuff The best one fled to Americaand became pool number one after half an hours practice and is raking in the cash . |

Hmm, perhaps I should look into a career in snooker in that case. And if I don't get into the tournaments I just blame sexism. Has any woman ever made it into the big competitions? |

Its very lucrative , despte the moaning from the millionaire champs The woman who fled to america played and did well against the big names in a few one off invitation tournaments , but to get to the big ones she'd have had to qualify all year round for no cash , so being best of the women in womens tournaments was more lucrative in the short term its a vicious circle |
