He is a great player. I call him "John the Cheat"

It makes my skin crawl watching that. The News of the World shot themselves in the foot by running the story too early. I can't ever forgive him but I never liked him anyway before this.

I call you "Sealer the ill-informed." and am delighted to call Mazher Mahmood "Prisoner Mahmood"

I don't see the big deal over this, it's clear he hits the red first.

Ha, I agree he is a great player but he is damaged goods now..... in my opinion.
Find it difficult to watch his matches now.

Yeah. I admired him before this, he was a real ambassador for the game.

It is a bit of an on ruining joke but I think the hit is pink or simultaneous in which case its a foul. Ref called a foul was not sure watched it still was not sure then changed his mind but was still not certain - Williams was robbed I think

Too early? There was no story beyond the one they tried to create - the matches were entirely fictitious and wouldn't have come about because they wouldn't have organised them.

Jesus, the footage is exposed as heavily edited and the transcript untrue, the newspaper gets shut down amid a scandal involving massive illegal activity, the journalist goes to prison for fabricating stories and witness tampering, and people still believe what the NOTW told them.

It'd be funny if it weren't so depressing.

Yeah for 250 thousand pounds I'd 'swallow' my dad

I would, but that is largely because I'm paranoid and deeply suspicious

But "Honest John" wasn't to know that was he ?
