Have fun there,
Chris.  Hi, Hmm, well the English 8 ballers are great talents no doubt about it but let's not get carried away. I wasn't knocking UK 8 ball in my post anyway- just the way that the UK pool community as a whole is so divided. Chris.

Have fun there,
Chris. what's wrong with you? Did we say anything to offend you? Did we say anything wrong about the game? All I said is that I don't understand the rules.. There are so many different set of rules that to someone that's new to english pool won't understand it at once! Never said anything bad about the players.. The people that know me well enough know that I'd never knock a player down just because he playes English pool... Even when I still used to live in Holland I was one of Darren's biggest fans down there... yeah some of the english pool players are great in American Pool but not ALL of them... The UK just has great potential but I personally think that the UK can produce a lot more great players if they pay a bit more attention to American Pool... And not only people from the engliah pool but also from snooker or first-timers to pool... You never know where the talent can come from! Please don't just assume things.. Read things carefully before you reply to them.... sorry but I had to get this of my mind.... probably edit and delete a lot when I've cooled down and had some sleep again!

Hello, Thanks very much for that Shir. That's basically what I was trying to say too. Neither of us insulted the UK players but Straight Eight acted as if we had. Strange!! Chris.

That's a nice site! I met a referee called Koos at the WPA World 8 Ball Championships and he seems to be associated with it in some way! Have fun Shir! -----------------  Authorised Pro9 forum advertiser/sponsor

Welcome Ozzi - Apparently they use Simonis style un-napped cloth on ALL the pool tables in South Africa! Is that true?
