Referee for the 2008 World final is?

[The Boss]

Bosses at WSA get it wrong

I would have picked Chamberlain

[PaulTheSoave]

Yes, I liked Alain when he refereed THe NI final. Very relaxed, casual. and very important, not noticable (in contrast to Mrs Tabb). Also afterwards had a little tete a tete with him

[Kathrin]

I told you so. Was already known 2 months ago!

Have heard Jan has to undergo a back surgery after the final, has anyone else heard about that?

[PaulTheSoave]

Yes, he will undergo a third surgery after the WC.

yes hes been holding off till the end of the WS season

[Wim]

Michaella Tabb is the one I prefer. Give her - and us - the previlege to see her in the final. She so nice to look at

Yeah in a way it's a shame Alan isn't referering, i've always found him to be very professional and competent referee. Still i have no complaints with mr Verhass as he is a quality referee also!

[Semih_Sayginer]

both of them are excellent referees. glad its jan this year after putting off his op

[ferret]

OK get your questions in for Jan, I am preparing an interview for him now, if you are quick enough I can add your questions.

[Alex0paul]

Here's a question or two then. How does Jan compare the pressures of snooker refereeing with the pressures of say football refereeing? and If he could pick one match from this season to have reffed in which would it be?

[ferret]

cheers Alex, your questions have been added

[Semih_Sayginer]

if you could pick a match in another sport to referee for the day what would the sport be and who would be playing (players or teams)?

[Marc]

jan, Have you ever reffereed a match you wished would end quickly because it was so boring? And What's the most enjoyable or most memorable game you have reffereed in your career.

[Kathrin]

against which player would you like to play if you had the opportunity? And do you think you´d have a chance to win?

[adrift]

I think Tabb is the best as she has authority over the players and audience without intimidating
