How so?

Because the match had ended?

Because he’s not Ronnie O’Sullivan

Yeah exactly that.

Once the handshake comes the match is done and it would be cruel to call him up on that.

Interesting thing (for me) is if he had called foul it would not have been a miss, so would the black be re-spotted with the white staying where it was?

The match doesn't end until the last ball has stopped rolling. It was a clear and obvious error by the referee.

Incorrect.

Match had been conceded.

I can see the argument, to be honest. If the referee didn't spot it until after the match was officially over, handshake-wise. Human error, obviously. Happens to everyone.

But was a mistake by the referee. Should've noticed it before the handshake, should've called it before the handshake.

Kind of leads a bit of a bad taste in the mouth, despite it being a fantastic result for the young man.

Andre confirmed yesterday that the ref could have rescinded the awarding of frame and match and called the foul once he'd noticed it.

I'm guessing Yuan expected the ref to pick the rest up, even though that's the player's job not the ref's.

Let's not forget that Higgins could have waited to see what happened to the cue ball as well.

Does that mean John Higgins should be fined? Because he conceded when there was points still on the table to win?

HONEST DUANE!

Oh I dunno.

Robertson smashing Bingham.

Selby looking good for 3-1

Ding 3-1 up

I'm perhaps being harsh on all people involved.

What happened happened, and we shouldn't forget that Yuan picked up a big victory over John Higgins. We could let that be the talking point, rather than the error in one shot.

Referees have a difficult job, having to concentrate for hours. We all make mistakes, and I believe that's all it was on the part of the referee.

I can see both arguments for and against him calling a foul. I just feel it's a shame it happened, especially in such a meaningful victory for the young man.

COME ON DING!

Century for Selby

It's a statement of fact you halfwit.

I am glad that Cloud Strife returned.

Looked to me like Yuan only left the rest because the ref called the match and Higgins offered to congratulate him.

buck you

Having been pulled up for celebrating a century by Mark Selby, I would like to apologise to all members at the lack of balance in my post.

To ensure the post is inoffensive to all, I would like to clarify:

Selby did not mean to make a century.
Ronnie would have done it better.
Ronnie would have done it quicker.

Aplogies

I bet you were eating Crispy Chilli beef whilst watching it, as well.

While you people are "arguing", Robertson can go 4-0 up against Bingham.

Surely he knew he'd committed it too?

The talking point should've been a young man beating Higgins. Not that foul. It's bad to see.

Is it just me or has snooker officiating gone down the toilet in recent years? And this despite having more technology at their disposal.

But Taylor said they do a terrific job?

Confirmation.

They're crap.

Correct - looks like Bingham's race is run

Raphael98 wrote:While you people are "arguing", Robertson can go 4-0 up against Bingham.

I was about to point out that we weren't arguing, but then I realised I'd be arguing about whether we were arguing or not.

I'd love it if Ding won this tournament.

The arguing part was just a joke by me, as you people were having fun with others. And Robertson with a century of 110 goes into the MSI 4-0 up against Bingham.

Darn it, I sounded like Dennis Taylor on the second phrase...

The fact is that some of you were saying "buck you" to others as a joke, and that's why I got into the fun. No hard feelings mates (thumbs up)

I'm only kidding about, don't worry.
