Michaela Tabb

[irishsnooker]

you will see Michaela on sunday

[magicman]

tabbfan If Ross did infact tell you that then you had no right to repeat it same goes for if it was in his status

I know it's a bit old school and all that, but punctuation was invented for a reason!

[Kathrin]

with regards to jan being stuck in the netherlands, I'd have thought he would have come over a few days ago

or would have taken the ferry, there were still some tickets available when we booked ours on friday.

[screw-back]

seems like he wasn't that fussy to come over. Terry Calimari being in Malta is obviously stuck but I think Verhass could have tried harder.

[bigbreak]

straight talking !!

""If my husband is a complete arse and decides to tell the world that I won't be in Sheffield again when I will, then he derserves to be deleted!!! lol

[jb134]

I'd say the key words there are "tell the world".

Red "triangle"

Whilst Michaela was resetting the table during the first session of the Ali Carter/Jamie Cope match I noticed that her equipment was different to that of the other refs.

Now, before your minds go where they shouldn't - Michaela was using a bright red "triangle" to set the reds whilst all the other refs were using a black "triangle".

[stephenm2682]

yeah and maybe she spots the brown before the pink?

[jw147]

i hope she gets the final, 2 days of watching her respot the blue, is pretty good viewing

[nugget1234]

She is not getting the final, as refs DO NOT do the WC Final two years in succession.

The way things are going, I'm beginning to wonder whether she'll do another match, some of the others have done 2 or 3 and Michaela's done..oh yes that's right..just one.

If this a new policy of Mike Ganley to stop giving her matches to do then it's certainly working

[jw147]

what did she do wrong? maybe she turned down mikes ganleys advances and told him where to go, as hes probably madly in lust with her! at least she doesnt call a miss when opponents need snookers like iran williams or whatever hes called. and shes easy on the eye. rather watch her than any other ref, thats for sure.

[jaybee136]

Well Michaela is on right now, refereeing the Neil Robertson v Fergal O'Brien match.

[screw-back]

Oh, come on, that was a slip of the tongue - he corrected himself immediately without prompting. Everyone's entitled to make a mistake - Michaela put the pink on the wrong spot in one of her matches in China - so what? It goes to show that the guys are human. Remember too that they've taken on a lot more with two of their colleagues missing.

[Souwester]

Remember too that they've taken on a lot more with two of their colleagues missing.

Don't forget though that at least one extra referee (Leo Scullion) was drafted in at very short notice to compensate for the other two being absent.

[best1966]

That's not true. Leo was always going to referee at the Crucible this year. Nobody has been drafted in at short notice. There are always 8 refs at the World Champs, 6 are there now, plus Jan and Terry Camilleri if they make it. The programme gets printed in advance and the 8 refs are in there with a picture and profile. Leo is in it, that wouldn't have been possible had he been brought in at short notice.
