    Fairly moving towards the end, it's obviously an extremely emotional time for John. Every time the discussion moves to his family it hits him hard. I'm keen to see the back of the whole event, if there's one thing that can be guaranteed, it's that John has paid for whatever his wrongs were, and this witchhunt has to stop now.

    What are the issues Hazel said they can't discuss in the interview? Something still in the hands of Johns lawyers...

    I think he slipped up abit, he said around the start of the interview that he knew he was innocent, then towards the end of it he said something like he feared he wouldnt play again or something similar, if you know your innocent then why would you fear a lifetime ban?
    I want to believe him and believe it was right he wasnt banned from snooker for a long time, but after watching the video from news of the world straight after that interview, I still think he was guilty:(
    Didnt Alex Higgins say he knew 4 top players who were involved in match fixing?
