Like you say, the tape isn't going to help him, especially where he is working out ways of explaining the money, property overseas etc. If he was so scared I would expect him to have just been agreeing and trying to get out of there.

It would be an interesting match that both players tried to lose. Chinese snooker?

The snooker final is a bit boring this evening. Did all the good players get knocked out?

The News of the World wanted him to try and win 4 frames this year!

Another interesting vote could be on whether Davis beat Higgins in their recent match that Davis won.

Could be that Higgins is just an unlucky thin edge of a wedge of rife snooker corruption. What prompted the News of The World to go after him? Perhaps all will be revealed in next week's issue.

I agree he doesn't look like he is at all scared or worried!
It makes me wonder about Ronnie, he seems to lose too easily or something, his mojo is gone

Perhaps he meant Ursula was on top and he really said "Under Andress".

I'd like to see more evidence before conviction, but based on only what I've seen so far, guilty. He could for example have been set up not only by the NOTW, but by his manager and others for their gain and foolishly gone along with it rather than actively pursuing events. I'm not overly convinced by his intimidation story though. I believe his trip was paid for (business class) and that 2 other meetings had taken place.
