My one abiding memory of the short lived Snooker World Cup is Alex Higgins issuing death threats against his teammate and captain Dennis Taylor, during I think it was the 1990 renewal. Thankfully relations among Team Ireland hockey teammates seem to be more harmonious.

And that Fitzmaurice is bluffer 
To be fair youâve been calling out Fitzmaurice since day one and have been justified.
Your views on Lane the ref also seem on the money.

I was looking at the Dutch today they are a serious outfit, and by all accounts not a bad hockey team either

Not sure if Ewan is aware of this but an Ireland team won a World Cup of Aussie Rules some years back, beating Papua New Guinea in the final at the MCG.
Australia didnât participate in the competition.

Yes.
The only times I was ever actually inside Kingâs Hospital were for a very enjoyable two week long sports summer camp there in 1987, in which I won the 100 metre dash in a time of 19 seconds, captained the winning team in the association football competition, and came third in the âlength of the poolâ race, which was won by a girl called Deirdre, who in fairness was a very good swimmer, almost in the Seashell Myth class. Ross Harrington just pipped me for second spot by a short head.
Even on an outside viewing, the place has changed a bit since those days.

Ewan is out of touch in Belo Horizonte. If he wants to remain relevant at the cutting edge of Irish sports journalism, he really needs to be on the ground here.
Heâs starting deleting tweets all over the shop now. Heâs been slagging Off the rugby World Cup for years and now heâs bigging up this snooker World Cup
