    In pool if i have played my shot and its left there, most cases it will just be respotted.

    If someone is leaning on the table or playing a shot and it drops, that might happen too. There used to be a rule where it could be a foul if you were playing the next shot and it falls whilst you are at the table

    You're correct, I'd forgotten about that rule -probably the stupidest rule ever in any cue sport. Now the ball is replaced.
    I think in this instance the ball had clearly stopped and some vibration caused it to drop.
  • Ronnie O'sullivan in more controversy.

  • I played a lot of snooker in my youth and I am surprised he didn't feel it or hear it. But he seemed shocked when he was shown the footage.
  • For those interested, the world seniors championship starts today. 1st session at 10 am. The event is live on freesports sky channel 422 freeview channel 95

    It is a funny one, you would think people should feel it. Sometimes it looks like it and you dont know, this is where you should just trust people are honest. Some people will get away with it, but its not in the spirit of the game.

    On the specific case, i would not think Ronnie would not call it but again i think he can walk on water.... After that he wasn't really in the right frame for the rest of the tournament as he is effectively being called a cheat. Shame, if he admitted or it was obvious he cheated then i would feel different but its a hard one to call even watching these shots isn't always proof.

    Yes, I thought he'd lose to Mark Davis because his heart wouldn't be in it.

    He's alright mate, around a week and half ago he got a couple of digs and he didnt react well. I have messaged him and he said he has alot on and cant really be dealing with CL at mo, i am sure he will return soon.
  • So what have I missed

    Ronnie won the Champion of Champions yesterday, Wilson pushed him close and was 64 ahead with 67 remaining(I think it was) and 9-8 ahead, ronnie took the frame and in the decider Wilson was in first, split the pack from the pack, unfortunatly knocked a red in and Ronnie made a century to take the match
  • In the Champion of Champions Mark Selby got his 3rd and the 143rd 147 in snoojer history, but amazingly no prize money for the max.

  • Straight away the players have headed to Northern Ireland for the 2nd leg of the Home Nations Series(remember if 1 player wins all 4 in a season they get £1 Million)
  • Barry Hawkins was the first big name out, not including McGill as he has had a poor season and fully expected him to lose

  • Home favourite Mark Allen is losing 2-0 to Niu Zhuang who has made only his 7th career century(he turned pro at the start of last season)
  • Good to see you back @paulie8290
  • Welcome back Paulie.
    I have to say that O'Sullivan got away with murder last night. 9-8 down and he had a lash out in frustration at the last red after missing a cannon and fluked a snooker. This was like the old O'Sullivan before Steve Peters.

    Great to see you back Paulio, hope you are well :)
  • Ronnie wins again, goes out first round of the open. Predictable, was looking like Allen was going to win COC all week put in a fine performance, however glad Ronnie won even if not convincing. Unlucky to Wilson he was 5-1 down so to force a decider and unlucky not to win in the end.

    Think me and my mates are going to masters in January, at Alexandra Palace. My mate did message me last week so hopefully he has got tickets, last one we went to was when Welsh Open was at Newport (last one, Ronnie won and got 147 in finale) we went for opening 2 days.
  • Well what a day yesterday ended up being, top players falling left right and centre in the end.

    Lets hope day 2 is just as thrilling.

    Day 1 results are coming

    He metioned tennis and said that you wouldnt have the top players qualifing for the US Open or Wimbledon.

    Ronnie mate top 16 players dont have to qualify for the Worlds, they get into the Masters, most in The Champion of Champions and in most other events they get seeded, if you dont like it sod off

    Would the tour survive with Ronnie yes
    Would the tour survive with Hearn no chance after everything he has done for snooker
