He seems more upset by Mark Williams comments than Mark Allens .

He does come across very well though in my opinion in interviews .

Thanks for posting this.. Fantastic reaction from Barry Hearn. Very professional and at the same time personal and sometimes with a wink

I think he made it clear last time that he just thinks Allen is a silly little boy, so I suspect when this news reached him, he just swore and moved on. Williams, as he says, is a senior player and really ought to know better. If nothing else, I don't understand what Williams was on about - the Crucible is damn good, both as a theatre and as a snooker venue. Personally, I don't like Sheffield but the Crucible is superb.

I agree wholly what BH says. But whatabout Judd's 'friends' twitter comments after his SF-loss to Neil at the Masters on his page? They should have been checked by the authorities as well.

By the snooker authorities? What can they do against Trump's friends? They're not the ones who have signed contracts agreeing to conduct themselves in a professional manner. The snooker authorities can only really take action against Trump himself.

Yes of course. But the host is actually responsible of the content on his site, isn't he? Those remarks on Judd's page for sure have brought the game in disrepute. So I think there is a problem how to react on the social network shuffle generally. Particularly it is the question of equal response to tresspassers, which in my opinion is questionable in MW's case.

They're not on Judd's page, they're on the twitter pages of each individual friend.

Somehow they appeared all together though, as I was reading Judd after the defeat in January's Masters. I think one is also responsible for the links strickly speaking. But do not get me wrong. I'm trying to put MW's comments in a relation to all that crap posted in the net. I think here were some general conduction rules for pro players cosidering social networks quite handy

Allen's were far worse they bordered on xenophobia
