"It's not just me and John Higgins having a problem with it and it's not just because we lost. It will look like sour grapes but it's not and it will cost other players."

Sean Murphy, 2008

"I'm amazed at how many players have moaned about the speed of the tables.

"I don't know if they are making excuses but adjusting to different conditions is as much of a skill as screwing the white back 10 feet, and this situation just highlights the players who can adapt."

What a difference a year or two makes, eh?

I do not rate Wenbo at all, hes just another over aggressive mindless potter who wouldn't dream of playing safety. Yes he's in form now but on the whole his career will be meaningless. Just the same as the likes of Selby. If a decent snooker player who actually played strategically came through they would dominate, even Ronnie couldnt handle them. Joe Swail is a disgrace and Higgins has proved he has the integrity of a pig, no drive and no sportsmenship. Snooker is at its worse level in decades and its because half of them should be playing pool

I was wondering if the players actually practice on the match table when the arena is vacated or do they use the practice tables installed at the venue.

sdavis,

what you talking about players careers being meaningless??

Anyway, Selbys been hailed as the great tactician who has the all round game to disrupt the potting machines of this era.

I take it you admire Ebdon then?
