After another awful performance I've decided to leave the pool to you guys, Tried a different tactic tonight, playing tight and stiching and even that I cant get right. Pool isnt fun when ur not playing anywhere near your best and honestly I didnt have the guts to clear up when I had an easy chance to finish plus the added annoyance of losing to players u know u shud probs be beating 50%+ of the time but didnt even come close too (no disrespect to phil lane=very good player"awesome yellow to top corner bag"). Anyway I fell out of love with pool probably near the end of my 2nd season on the IPA and around the same time i discovered u can make money playin poker.(lol) hopefully I will fall back in love with the game before the winter season, but right now im not doing myself or my team justice with my performances so I will leave the pool to people who love the game. P.S well done to the sharks, wasnt sure if u cud play safety but cowper proved that theory wrong, however again Laner was my man of the match with his performance in singles. Anyway do the league proud guys in the inter-league and maybe see u next season.

Sorry to hear that Mr Tonkin sir although i do think you're reacting too soon after a defeat. Since you've come back the website has livened up considerably and more people are talking about it. In my eyes, the only way to cope with a bad spell is to play through it. We've got Robbie Roy back from Uni now and i'm sure he'll get frustrated at times with his rustiness but i've no doubt within a few weeks he'll be back to the player he was before he left (not that he's playing bad at the mo). Get back on the horse (or Bull) son and ride it!

RIP Joe Tonkin - a sad lose to the game!

Got to agree with Mr Clift here Joe! I think you should get back on the baize for some practice and play your way through it! The score line could have been a little diffrent last night if we had a little rub of the green! Yes the sharks played well but they also had big pieces of luck in important parts of some of the frames!

Take Asheys game against Hooper! A lose shot by Jeremy which was going nowhere had a lucky nudge from the middle pocket knuckle to send the cue ball straight across the table to land on his ball perfectly which without that nudge he would have been well out of position! My game I had the new player on a piece of string but a bad bit of luck changed that! I was frustrated but you got to put it behind you! Dave ws the same as he played a crackin game and was really unlucky not to be left a shot after a lovely shot developed his balls when he was dead in the game!

I think you should get your head down and get back to playing some decent pool and show everyone you are not a quiter!! If you want some practice im avalible and im sure other people are too!

Come on Joe I challange you to prove us all wrong and show us some fight and prove you are not a quiter!

Hoops still would have pulled out some nuts shot!!! maybe a change of side you need joe? moyler struggled with us and playing well with the demons part from super broad taking him down had to put that in chin up mate u no your a good player!!!!!

yeah come on joe,i like you mate,i stood down as skip and could have walked away from the lot,but i wont quit,i was chuffed to get back on the bull with a start (thanks lew)on weds and played my fuckin heart out in a game i should never have won,you know when the buzz is there,i do,as i always shake when i play,i love the game,i dont practice,but i love it and maybe thats where i fudged it all up being captain,it didnt work,i hold my hands up,your a top guy and you add spice to us matey.
