      Was Gray out there playing in a tournament or was it just a boozed up holiday?

          Cheers for the reply. These things happen when you're on holiday with a group of mates. It doesn't look good but it's just one of those things.

            Yeh people should be looking to help Gray not condemn him. I really hope this wakes David up and you never know, it could be the best thing that ever happens to him. I really hope so. As you will know from my profile picture I am a big Casper fan.

              Even the highest profile snooker players are normal persons and can go off the rail sometimes. I'm sick and tired about the role model rant. Many players can account as good role models in some aspects of their life and not so much in others. They're just human and I personally think kids should learn about being open and understanding, appreciating the good in people and sometimes taking the bad with it also. Not that everything has to be accepted of course.

              Having said that I hope David gets help and makes the most of that help because ... I'm afraid this is not about "sometimes".

It's possible he's just got a bit wrecked on his holiday which is no great sin, we should probably give him the benefit of the doubt on this one.
                I agree. And, it sounds like Gray should be given the chance to explain what happened. If WPSA wants to go on record and actually help him, its a nice gesture, but only if the player is willing.

                Sure, its embarassing but "disrepute" for the sport should be better evaluated.

                    What a state although I am not sure what was worse, David Gray or the bizarre voiceover

                        or maybe im being synical

                          I wonder why it was recorded in the first place. And I wonder why anyone would like to spread it on youtube or elsewhere.
                          David Gray might be facing some personal problems but he's still entitled his privacy and if I was in his shoes I'd look into the possibility to sue the one(s) who don't respect it.

                            I think he was fitted up. I reckon his drink was spiked and then whoever did it arranged to have it filmed.

                              I'm wondering why noone from the hospital personnel objected to having the patient and the staff filmed. Actually, I'm wondering why one of the cameramans is from a hospital personnel.
                              Robbo's potting is so good he doesn't need to bother with positional play like the rest of the players. He laughs in the face of those who spend hours on the practice table perfecting their cue ball control! ~ Forman

                                I agree with that. It seems very strange that that video hit the internet so fast. You shouldn't be allowed to film in a hospital! It's really strange...
