Pink Ball's top 75 frames of all-time

Pink Ball wrote:51. 2008 World Championship second round, frame 25 of 25: Liang Wenbo 79-53 Joe Swail
A controversial conclusion to a Crucible classic, with Swail fuming afterwards. Here's the Irish Examiner's description of what happened at the end:
"The 21-year-old Chinese star was 27 points ahead with 27 remaining when he failed to get out of an apparent snooker by hitting the cushion first.

"Swail had the white replaced and Liang proceeded to hit the target ball directly, prompting claims from the Irishman that the referee had failed to replace the white in the correct position."

Swail’s reaction to this and his implication that Liang cheated have always annoyed me.

The reason refs ask the seated player if they’re happy with the placement is to avoid this exact scenario.

If you nod your agreement, you can’t then be snake hissed off if the balls haven’t been replaced correctly (if they have, I’m not convinced this was the case in this match).

That sort of thing always pisses me off.
