| Bukachenko demands answers |
This blog can answer Bukachenko's enquiry thus..
Gary Little has been positioning himself to join a different table tennis league.
Mark Nelson has been wandering the hinterlands of the UK, preaching his words of wisdom to alarmed people in dim basements.
Viv Gee is in physiotherapy following a serious yoga injury.
Bruce Morton has for the last four months been battling internal demons and is currently 8-1 down in the series.
Greg Hemphill has relocated to the United States in a move reminiscent of David Beckham joining LA Galaxy.
Rob Kane was last seen "finding himself" in an ashram some fifty miles north of Delhi, spending two days a week doing voluntary work in a battered elephant shelter.
And of Chris Forbes..? Who knows? A string of paternity suits may be the reason for his current low public profile.
No matter the reasons, no matter the locations (geographic or emotional) these players are under scrutiny. A legion of fans and followers has been cast aside, it seems, like a pair of disposable panties. Wherefore, indeed, the Table Blades League?
This blog calls for answers from those named above. Is it over? Is it simply a memory? Or will this league, like Lazarus, rise from the darkness and demonstrate it's life - or will it lie rotting on some distant shore like a beached Leviathan whose only purpose is to stir the pity of a populace?
