This also takes bottle, because you need to be confident in your own ability to win. Kyren should take note here, its braver but also a far better way to show respect for an opponent (McGill in this case) than crying... Many players conveniently forget this is an option, and I felt it would have been fitting to their epic semi final battle when McGill missed by a tiny margin on his 4th attempt.

Hendry is a class act. :hatoff:


Hendry beleives you should pot balls to win a match, and I agree, you shouldn't lose a match because of a stupid miss-rule.


Miss rule isn't stupid, otherwise you would see players like Alex Higgins in the past deliberately trying to miss the object ball just that the cue ball ran safe.

Miss rule avoids cheating like this, but sometimes it's up to the referee to judge if the player made the best of his ability to hit the object ball, because the players often want the toughest route because that garantees safety. This always needs to be called a miss, no matter how difficult the snooker is, unless like I said the player opts for the easiest route and made his best attempt.

Alex wasn’t one for that tactic. Willie Thorne was the worst. Remember Alex and Willie having a bust up at the Crucible in ‘83 when Alex accused Willie of continually not making fair attempts to escape.
