that referee in the trump duane match is absolutely useless haha

Yep, back to the outside tables for him )

As Trump said in his interview afterwards - there is a very high degree of honesty amongst the players

Judd told the referee that he had hit the red - the referee maybe should have said he did not see it, and he would watch the replay (which he eventually did) and make a final judgement

But to keep arguing with the player until Judd's insistence makes him watch the replay is poor - upsetting for the player and makes the ref look silly.

I'm sure Jan Verhaas, Brendon More et al would have handled it differently

I know the rules do not explicitly state that a player has any recourse, and surely we do not need Tennis style challenges (lol), but as a gentleman/ladies' game we expect our referees to be professional and courteous, and our players to be honest

I see Allen beat his old mate Cao Yupeng.

Does Allen have a problem with him or something?

He accused him of cheating and bad sportsmanship in the past, I know Cao personally and couldnt be further from the truth. Allen was just being a salty *****.

[jonny66]

Sounds like Mark Allen.

Allen is a vile little man imo

Was that the push shot that Allen heard but Cao did not call it?
I thought that was way behind them and they have played many times since.

I think so. That was a long time ago, and Allen does seem to have sorted out his attitude a bit since then.

When Allen wins it's because "he's as goods anyone out there"... when he loses its always something/someone else's fault.

Judd was snookered came off the side cushion and very finely clipped a red, the ref said foul, Judd said he did, after a minute of "no you didn't yes I did" the ref checked a TV camera monitor and apologised and retracted the foul.
Where you watching the TV feed or the sport website that shows the game without changing to scheduled TV?
