My opponent somehow left me with the yellow behind the pink. This photo is taken from a video snapshot after my first attempt. The white was close to corner pocket left side of the black spot.
Each attempt I tried to hit the yellow I gave a free ball where my 'friend' would just leave the white at the far end of the table nominating one of the other colours as the free ball.
I lost over 40 points in fouls before I made a genuine attempt that moved the pink away. I felt like just hitting the pink straight on but what is fair play in this case? I could have also rolled the white to touch the bulk cushion but that would have still been a free ball.
Can a series of fouls just continue in this way? Is there any rule that might prevent the free ball after so many attempts?
I guess I was unlucky to have had such a shot.
From being 10 points up beforehand I went on to lose the frame.
