And then he took about 10 minutes to put the white back exactly where it was. I mean when you've got a monitor and can see the overlay of live and how it should be, how bloody hard can it be?

what is the chances of that happening in 2 matches in the same tournament on the same day...... freakish.
Personally I think the standard of refs is very low, and has been going that way for some time now. They are all complacent.

Complacent? Very interesting, you could be onto something there. I also think the commentators could be similar

Tabb makes a lot, Jan has been in decline for a while, today we saw 2 horrendous blunders............... definitely complacency.
Your point about commentators - very true. Mistakes left right and centre - quoting players playing in finals that they never did.......

Willie called Gould "Neil" a couple of times and there have been many other blunders too. The best has to be Dennis Taylor calling Zhang Anda "Shing Shang"

I think the comms need a big shake up, its way too pally in there on the Beeb side.
Just turned over and JJ makes a mistake within 5 seconds "that should win the first frame, oops third frame"........ its just a question of what voices you want your rubbish delivered in.
Anyhow Eurosport is in glorious HD so quite frankly buck the Beeb.

I've hardly watched the beeb to be honest. HD has done it for me, and the only time I'm watching BBC is when there are two matches I want to see so I'm on interactive. I've seen more of Hazel in the flesh this week than I have on tv.

Shows that the refs are human doesnt it. Refereeing is harder than it looks. at least Michaela says she can smile about it.

Paddy
Do you feel there is a complaceny and clique in the refs, cos it is very apparent to me. Even the marking goes wrong regularly........

Clapping plants.
OK some require great skill, but when they're touching or as close as and they are dead set, it's the EASIEST POT IN THE GAME!!! therefore why the buck do the "knowlegable" Crucible crowd ALWAYS clap a plant even when it's dead set?
Idiots

DT says: "everyone loves a good plant".
Define "good". A "good" one to me is something that needs making or has a skill level due to the distance of the balls involved.........

The kick Hendry got against Selby which let him in with the table perfect for snookers. Leads to a Selby revival whereas prior it was at least 5-3 Hendry and looked more like 6-2.
Gutted obviously as Stephen was making a match of it up until the kick and had Selby all over the place.

Anyway, it was only John Virgo's opinion that it was a kick, I didn't see it.

Selby wins a vital frame from 75-0 down needing 2 snookers
Sorry, not in keeping with this thread.
Seething aspect was having girlfriend saying "It's only a game" during Hendry's break to get to 75-0 which resulted in an arguement which I could've done without because I was trying to watch the match!

Less a seethe, more a reflection ... Ding out but it doesn't feel such a bad defeat after the season he's had. I swap all those finals in for one big shot at the title here but not to be, let's do it again next year mother hubbards

If Murphy reaches the final and Selby loses to O'Sullivan it will happen unless Allen or Dott wins it.
If Selby beats O'Sullivan then its academic.
He will most likely face Ryan Day or Stephen Hendry (AGAIN!) in round 2 though.
