2018 Northern Ireland Open

Yeah. Acoustics in general.

Not going to bother starting a thread in the questions forum as the answer isn't open for debate, but is a foul on the final black an automatic loss, regardless of score? Jud could foul in this exchange with Ryan, and technically it wouldn't make any difference (Trump 51 Day 46) but I've got a complete mental block on whether a foul on final black is an automatic loss or not.

The Pot or Foul on the last black is END OF FRAME - not Loss of frame - and not AUTOMATIC LOSS of frame to the offender regardless of the score.

After the appropriate points have been applied after the last pot or foul, the player with the most points wins.
If scores are even, a tie break is played.

Trump 51, Day 46
foul by Trump on last black, penalty points applied, Trump 51 Day 53 - Day wins the frame with most points NOT because Trump losses the frame automatically for fouling the last black

say, Trump 58, Day 46
foul by Trump on last black, penalty points applied, Trump 58 Day 53 - Trump wins the frame with most points.


And yes, the mic pickup is a bit distracting at this venue, the cues sound like they are cracking

Gilbert - O'Sullivan

Up next "Alone again" (naturally : )

That fake tan is well OTT, and with the gold jumper and blonde hair she looks to be glowing

lovely cannon for the last red by Gilbert

Ebdon was a bit irritated by some noisy folk yesterday. Hilarious moment.

Terrific result for Eden Sharav V Ebdon.

Today will be the first time since their fantastic UK Championship final in 2016 that Mark Selby and Ronnie O'Sullivan will face each other. Could be interesting, though I feel O'Sullivan will win this one.

Ronnie will punish Selbys mistakes a lot more. Selby got away with it against Uh Nooh

At least in this German masters qualifiers he used it in 5th and 9th frame to break off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bLFko2CAy4
Hilarious match this btw. The end of the 8th frame was ridiculous

That was funny ... the end of the eighth frame starts at 1:02:06

is that when Gilbert was disturbed and missed that black?

Not sure. It was during the fourth frame between Ebdon and Sharav.
There was a noise and Ebdon got up from his position. Then he got down again on the shot and it was another disruption. Then this happened.

Terrific result for Eden Sharav V Ebdon.

Missed the end of the match, got to just before 4-4 and had to hit the sack!
into his first semi-final and biggest pay-day, and still counting

Yeah foul on the black means loss of frame (unless that means scores are tied and hence re spot needed)

The Pot or Foul on the last black is END OF FRAME - not Loss of frame - and not AUTOMATIC LOSS of frame to the offender regardless of the score.

Thank you, @jrc750, and thank you for the clarification, @DeanH.

I don't get it. What was funny? Did you link to the right clip? I'm not being an arse - I'm just genuinely puzzled.
