Let’s hope he’s not Rodders, to Barry’s DelBoy :hmmm:

Apart from that he has done some good things though.


The Shoot-Out shouldn't be a ranking event either.

true. Another bad decision even though not as bad as the other one. The UK Championship was really a proper major. It was second to none after the Worlds and that has gone.

Someone who wins the UK now, can we really say its the same tournament and the same achievement/feat like winning the multi session UK? Not really.
