Why does the game of Snooker continue to tolerate the actions of this man?

[elliemay1]

What did he do?

[grumpy01]

After missing a shot in his match with Dave Gilbert he made a lewd gesture with his hand.I admit he is a great talent but he definitely has some mental issues.

Lighten up - it was just an instinctive reaction criticising himself for a bad miss. But for TV almost no one would have noticed.

[davebro]

People knowing what it meant probably weren't offended & people who didn't know what it meant couldn't be offended.

That is ridiculous....a self-reaction - on this basis tennis, cricket, football and rugby players, esp. rugby league, should be fined for having a cussword picked up by the microphone.

So lewd and disgusting the Daily Mail made sure everyone could see exactly what the gesture was.

give him some slack, it must come as a shock when he plays a bad shot every five years or so

Enjoy it while you can, the next generation of players will make Steve Davis look like a full-on party animal.

Accept he's not all that bright really and he has flaws but nobdy died.

[Khandro]

'Cos he's a star! & no one has such presence in the hall.

[Hopkirk]

This world has big problems to worry about.

This isn't one of them.

[mushroom25]

it does him good like it bleddy well should, eh? :-D

[douglas9401]

Easy there Doc. :-)
