Good plug for Dom's Twitter account, before he made that announcement he had 1,138 followers lets see how many he gets over the next few hours.

Note that the first account that Dominic followed on Twitter was TheSnookerForum

I wonder if he still posts?

[ferret]

Not sure, I can not find a user attached to his email address but he changes his email address as ofter as his cue but I am sure if he is still posting you will find him in the cues section

LOL.

Getting back to the match. What a shocking referee mistake when Dave Harold got out of that snooker off two cushions.

Yes and in the end it cost him the match. What a disgrace he was also very slow at telling what Dave should do with the black ball.

yep terrible, the rules do not state hitting cushion AFTER impact, just that either pocket or hit a cushion in every stroke.
Also did he have a touching ball on the black? I am sure I heard the ref say "touching" but could hear over the crowd () and called a foul
what a farce

[brusque]

Hence proved ... competence is not always what is needed to land a job ... what a disgrace!!!!!

Yep. It was a touching ball on the black.

Harsh!

I can see how the mistake was made; the cushion after contact rule is common in pool disciplines but it was a mistake in this case and Dave Harold might have won without it.

yep, I play World Rules pool where this rule applies, but come on professional referee

He had a few posts about cues just before the turn of the year, I will check my activity and see if I can find the tnread
Sorry it doesn't go back far enough.

how stupid by Anthony McGill .. just needed to play a half decent safety .. instead he went for a red n gifted it all away ... made me lose my bet ... irritating ... I mean why are some players so dumb ... he had it in the bag after the lucky snooker he got n he still messed it all up

Great tournament for the lower ranked players. Absolutely anyone could win this!

[itsnoteasy]

No! I don't want to watch pros play like drunk club players, it's horrible.
