Following a recent Scottish Pool Association national event it was announced by an administrator that the "stupidity, violence and downright aggression" of players towards each other and tournament staff had created a dangerous environment.
Deplorable !

Ross McInnes, Scottish pool's head honcho, but with fingers in multiple pies, has declared it is time to call it a day "doing events".
It is hard to overestimate the significance of his contribution towards the current status of blackball pool.
It is a well deserved retirement.
At last genuine competition for the Scottish Pool Association and their scandalous banning policy.
Vested interests tell us that Ultimate Pool plan to "destroy the SPA and take over Scotland".
Well good luck to them if they provide a superior product!

A European Blackball Association (EBA) statement strongly refuting allegations made by Ross McInnes (Scottish Pool Association President) that a previous EBA secretary, namely Trevor Harte, had been "accepting backhanders" and misappropriating money.

A depressing trend, although news from the Aberdeen League is that pool is booming in that city with a record 51 affiliated teams.
Undoubtedly enterprising and competent league administrators can make a difference.
How's your local league doing?

Other stats for the Dunfermline Pool League compare the numbers of affiliated league teams from pubs with those from pool halls over the past 25 years.
There's no doubt a similar trend throughout the UK as pubs close and more pool halls open up.
