Shouldn't be allowed. Glad to see old 'Romford Slim' give him a good whoopin.

I think O'sullivan now has a skinhead, so hopefully he'll be keeping tea towels and other headwear to a minimum for a while

Yes, a triumph of substance over style.
It's funny, I loathed Steve Davis when he was in his pomp, being an Alex Higgins fan, but since he's become an underdog, I have found myself rooting for him. When he won that major tournament a few years back, that was a fantastic achievement for a man past his prime. 22 years in the top 16 is an achievement I dare say nobody will ever beat, not even Hendry.
Davis still holds the record for the most overall tournament wins too.

I've heard Higgins wants to make a comeback too. But after his points loss to Larry Donald, I'm not so sure. 
Remember a documentary on Higgins, maybe three or four years ago? Either BBC or C4, he looked in a really sorry state.

Higgins is playing in exhibitions - I saw that documentary also. It was a little hard to watch at times, but he played an exhibition with White and still produced some good shots losing 3-4 (and White was trying).

I don't mind Hunter, I think some people class him as arrogant - I just calling him confident (its like a Jose Maurino thing).
However, I didn't see the match but don't like his post match comments - basically calling Davis a lucky bastard. Okay, so Davis fluked a vital shot - he still got it to 5-5 without flukes. It showed a little bit of a lack of respect, he didn't even congratulate him.

Hunter is a gimp. Just trying to become snookers David Beckham. He looks a twat.

Yes anyone who actually says
"Well, people call me the David Beckham of Snooker."
Which he did.
Deserves all the stick they get.

I think that Mr & Mrs Hunter call him "The Beckham of snooker". Probably no one else!
He obviously does his best to look like him and get publicity by wearing ridiculous items of clothing that his missus picks out (beckham did it with the sarong thing).
Not surprising that he wasn't gracious in defeat, always a good sign that someone is an arse.
