Snooker is just a pub game. Why would anyone bother cheating anyway?
Told ya. Total surrender

I can see you have got a bit of a pendants hat on today. Are you seriously saying referee's in snooker effect a match as much as in cricket?
Anyway, snooker players don't cheat...just don't tell their bookies!!

It was more that having embarrassed you in highlighting the hypocrisy in your argument over the whole Broad thing, that I'd make the peace by making a little joke about snooker.
:whiteflag:
Tootings on this one for the long haul I think!
As peace offerings go, that's up there with Chamberlain's bit of paper. I am not embarrassed at all. It's not me that is condoning or apologising for cheating. I will be seeing EXACTLY what some of you say the next time this issue crops up against England, and see how you all spin it then when it is Jonny Foreigner that is the worst offender.... and I know I could throw this back at people during the football season when they start howling about some injustice. If I could be bothered.
Apart from the fact that you and I have different views as to what constitutes cheating. But I shall be interested as to what you'd think in the following scenario: Ashley Barns is challenged in the penalty area, goes to ground, no thrashing around like Johnny Foreigner, but the ref gives a penalty nonetheless which Barnes converts. The defenders are furious as they say there was no contact. When we see the replays on TV later it's obvious there was no contact at all and the ref's decision was wrong. Will you be outraged that Barnes didn't go up to the ref at the time and tell him what really happened? Don't answer that now, let's see what happens this season..... and I know I could throw this back at people during the football season when they start howling about some injustice. If I could be bothered.
Oliver Holt is such a confused man. Chastising Broad via twitter comparing a defence of him with defending Maradona and Armstrong, but wrote this article not so long ago...

And if you say Haddin definitely knew (has he said that? I don't need to hear Broad say it) than yes it would apply to him too.
Would Haddin have really known though Hans, perhaps he thought he'd clipped his pad or something?
.
Granted, not always with bat-pad. But a nick in the syle of Haddin's, with the bat miles away from the body, you know. Haddin knew.
