China Open vs Tibet humilation

You are all just a bunch of brainwashed idiots. And you polish guy may shove that FYRO in your a******!

Nice one....you really are a comunist, aren't you ? But it's nice to see that we all are so "appreciated" by you. It means that you have no more arguments to sustain your opinions, if you ever had any.

Alright. Enough is enough. Personal insults are not allowed on TSF from any member.

Debate the point at issue or get off the thread.

Tibet is not occupied, it is a part of China just like Taiwan and Hong Kong. And Kosovo is a part of Serbia as well. So stop commenting about politics and concentrate on snooker. I'm looking forward to the start of Chinese open and i don't give a damn about Ronnies decision about his participation in the tournament.

Kosovo is not a part of Serbia anymore. There is a good reason why people like in Kosovo and in Tibet wants to be free and that's because they live in some retarded regimes like in China or in Sovjet linked countries where people are manipulated. So good to see they want their freedom.

Your remark about ROS makes more sense, indeed if he doesn't want to go, so what, that' s his 'problem' and things won't change because ROS doesn't want to play snooker in China.
As I am quite convinced as well that famous sportsmen who threatens not to go to the olympics are quite opportunistic and even hypocrite by saying this, what a nice free positive publicity is this for them.

But as far as I understand, not single sportsmen decide to boycott the Olympics, the whole national Olympic committee makes this decision.

Indeed so far no athlete has boycotted the games. The international Olympic
Comitee did assign the games to China being very well aware how the political and social situation is there. So afterwards, a few months before the games, it would be ridiculous to boycot he games.

And by the way I have seen and heard only rumours and speculations about ROS participation (or not) in China. Certainly no evidence or statement from his part that he is not going, even less for some political reasons. And honestly I would be and if he was invoking such reasons

How does your husband feel about the albanian secessionistic ambitions in Chameria(northwestern Greece). There are more than one milion albanians there without any human rights.

total albanian population of this area - all of it, disputed and otherwise is 77000

Marathon world record holder Haile Gebrselassie vowed to give the Olympic event the swerve - over fears Beijing's pollution would damage his health.
