Don't start trouble if you don't want to find it, I guess.

I'm pretty sure Hearn doesn't wanna see ROS having a go at Scullion and embarrassing him consistently during the matches. So he better keeps Scullion away from Ronnie.

But regardless of Ronnie and Scullions relationship. Scullion is just a very very poor ref. And its for everyone to see.

He has been a ref a long while and suffered some tough times.

Good luck to him I say and bullocks to all you miserable chameleons.

I don't personally think he's the best man for the job, but I can't help but feel happy for him. I hope he isn't reading this thread. He's a sensitive sort, I hear. For all our moaning, he's a much bigger part of the sport than we can ever hope to be.

When he cleans balls - they are cleaned good and proper, yes sir. :D

@LeoScullion

Thank you to everyone for all the fantastic messages and words of congratulation for the announcement by @WorldSnooker that I will have the honour of refereeing the final at the Crucible. #trulyhumblingresponses

I have no problems with Leo but Ronnie made a good point on Twitter today about why there isn't any female referees in big finals. I want to see female refs refereeing big finals like the BBC events and the ITV events but they want to keep recyling the trio of Jan, Brendan and Paul.

Again I like them but we females do exist and now another old man gets to referee a big final while the females as usual will get small level events that people barely know about. :roll:

It's embarassing Michaela, one female, is the only one who got to referee relevant finals and even when she retired in 2015, we still haven't seen another female referee a big final and it's been 4 years since. :|

ROS: "Why don’t women snooker referees get to ref the big finals in snooker? @WorldSnooker they are very good refs, and should be given more major finals, and btw last nights ref was very good, he should defo be reffing major matches"

<ok>

That's Ronnie out of the picture then even if he gets to the final. He will be wound up by his slowness to replace the Black back on its spot.

Why can't we see more woman refs at the WC's?

There was another ref as well. Peggy Li I think. She was even a ref during the WC last year. And the ref in the Shanghai Masters final 2017.

Havent seen much from her this season though. Or maybe I cant remember it.

Peggy Li has reffed in all the Asian events I think, might be wrong though. Not sure about Ivy.

It bored a lot of people. But Wild liked it so much, he threatened to ban himself.
