On his twitter he says he hit it.

Well thats interesting. I thought he must have. The ref must have thought so to.

I hope Andy Lee finds a bit of form in this match.

Oozes class as a person.

Yep been following on twitter and the live (but delayed ) score on WS website.

I've had a look through the thread so apologies if this has been asked and i missed it, why don't the advertising boards say "Home Nations Welsh Open"? There are just ManBetX adverts everywhere but this is part of the Home Nations now yes?

In Ronnie's 'denied' century, despite the pink being potted and the balls at rest - the score for the pink would not have been counted until the pink is back on its spot, is that right?

As far as I'm concerned, the ball was potted, a scoring stroke completed without foul and yes, he THEN played a foul by striking the red before the pink was effectively spotted but surely that is just 4 away as the red was ball on, and the pink should still be counted?

Any rules experts that can point out the rule that says otherwise?

the stroke was not complete as the pink had not be been spotted corrected as well as the referee had not called the break, there are multiple factors that need to be completed before the stroke is complete and the player can do their next stroke.
shame but them's the rules

Sec2.6 Stroke
and
Sec3.10 (b)(ii)

Unfortunately you cannot make your own rules up ha ha ha

lmao love when Ronnie plays like this, he gives no F*cks. Crazy how he still manages to pot everything while looking like he cant be bothered to play. That being said he looked like he was clearly protesting against something again

Ok so the only reason it wasn't counted was that the referee had not called the score (despite the scorer seemingly add it - mind you that was probably just the TV scorer not the official one). If the referee had called the score before spotting the pink the stroke would ahve been complete leaving only the foul by Sec3.10(b)(ii), unless there's a separate rule book for referees to only call the score after respotting (which kind of makes sense anyway)

Good stuff!

Nice max, Robbo! Well done. The twelve members of the crowd were delighted
