  • Barry Hearn Press Conference

    Me and Kevin have just been listening to him at the Crucible

    Main Points:

    Dealing with it as a matter of Urgency, it's brought the fabric of the game into question.

    David Douglas, former policeman has been brought in to help with the investigation.

    The matter will be dealt with fast.

    He's inncocent until proven guilty

    It will be dealt with in days and weeks

    Potentially huge damage for snooker.

    It's a body blow but not a KO

    He won't walk away from snooker.

    The game has made more progress in the last 4 months than in had in the last ten years.

    John Higgins is in bits

    Mooney is finished, no future for him in snooker.

    No dodgy betting patterns at all this champs

    The players have a responsibilty to report it if they have been approached.

    The fear factor has to be there for the players.

    No excuses can be made for players blaming lack of tournaments.

      thats the thing that still surprises me, why (if higgins tells the truth) didn't he tell anyone that he had been approached for match fixing?

        Douglas is Hearn's man at the DRA.

          Lack of tournaments certainly shouldn't be used as an excuse if you've got a career like Higgins.

            Thanks for the report!
            "No dodgy betting patterns at all this champs"

            At least that is positive... although I can't imagine anyone fixing a match at the WC
            Ein jedes Werkzeug ist ein Tand in eines tumben Toren Hand.

              positive news, but why not the same principle for Pat? - just wondering
              how fast is too fast?
