I might not understand the true meaning of "trolling", but if he is just talking to much or posting too much, as long as is not obscene, is not a valid argument for banning someone from entering a country! should be a freedom of expression! :deal:

Antanas Guoga loves to sneer at players from Russia, that famous phrase "send them back to Russia!".
In an interview, Tony explained that the relations between Lithuanians and Russians have always been a little strained.
Guoga, member of the European Parliament and Vice-President of the Lithuanian rowing Federation (since 2014).
Guoga not put it correctly in the European Parliament against Russian diplomat.
Tony repeatedly expressed against Russia.
Russia has expanded its "black list" Lithuanian politician.
Don't expect to see Guoga on the pokerstars tournament Championship Sochi in the near future.

Hey, if Russian players are forbidden to play in many rooms, or prohibit stocks and bonuses, just because we are Russian, then why should not it be the other way around? Is not respect supposed to be mutual?
Or only about Russia you can say anything, impose sanctions against players, but when there is a reaction there immediately follows - fu ... These are double standards and this is bad for poker and IRL. :confused:

If you like to hooligan in a chat and insult the country in which the tournament is held - why are you surprised that they do not let you in? If you have an opinion - OK, so protect it and pay the price.

On the freedom of expression. Julia Samoilova received a ban on entry to Ukraine to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017.
This girl is disabled, she only moves in a wheelchair, but sings remarkably well. According to the Ukrainian authorities, it represents a threat to the territorial integrity of Ukraine...
This is the real world in which we live.

Never mind all that, it still boggles my damn mind that Tony G got elected to anything, let alone the EU Parliament.

It's awesome, and hilarious, but I still can't wrap my head around how something like that actually happens.

*remembers Trump got elected*

*remembers Duterte got elected*

*remembers Pauline Hanson got elected*

Oh. Yeah I get it, never mind me :p

Stay on message

As much as Tony gets out of line with his tactics at the table (hand vs Hellmuth) he standing by his principals on this one. Well done Tony but I'd still never, ever believe you at a table.

Please don't publicise the fact the she got elected again, that will only make non Aussies think that we all are stupid.

Putin is proof that free speech is alive and well in Russia, he supports free speech when it comes to him.

Fair play to him �� Aussies love to speak there minds, i guess you always no where you stand.

Damn, I wish I knew that earlier.

I doubt that he needs to go to Russia for anything, yeah big loss. :eek:

Would some of those policies be the annexation of Crimea, and supporting rebels and supplying them with missiles like the one that took MH-17 out and then lying about supplying the rebels with arms.

Great government that is.

More sanctions should be put on Russia, maybe the people will start another revolution and oust the former KGB that run the government.

:(

Yeah true - but then most non-Aussies don't know who she is. Or they've done something even crazier in an election recently (see: Trump, Duterte, Brexit).

I guess Canadians have us drawing dead, they really knocked it out of the park with Trudeau ;)

You are very wrong, my friend.
Better bring public order in Uganda.
What are you talking about?
Read the title of this thread.

I didn't know he is a member of the European parliament :D . I read it on the article of CC , I copy pasted the thing the article said about him being in favor of antirussian policies .

Neither I approve nor I disapprove this political position he has , I just said he has a way to irritate youwith his talk , my opinion , I just remember many videos , I must say he's not one of my favourite , that's all (and I don't think he's in the same category with Helmuth , Helmuth is way too funny in comparison to Tony G , imo :) )
