So after Barry Pinches declared a foul on himself that cost him the match, we then had this from Ronnie, weather he felt the black move on not the ref obviously knew something was wrong as she told him to stop.
I don’t think she saw a foul and I am not convinced it moves anyway. Surely she would have called the foul at the time? Rather than wait till she had taken pink out of the pocket and respotted it ?
Oh come on paulie, there's no way the ref saw a foul, asked him to stop and then thought fuck it it's Ronnie and let him carry on!
I dont kmow why she stopped him, but it wasnt because of that!
She didnt see it, she was being alerted to it by the officials backstage(someone there has said that they were waving there arms alerting her that it needed to be looked at), and rule 6 says that the ref can stop play and stop the clock if something needs to be looked at, but if the player has already played the next shot then nothing can be done, she said Ronnie stop and he played the next shot.
Heads up between 3 and 5 Charlton take priority and I wont be doing game result updates as I wont even be watching those 2 hours lol, will do a full results afterwards for those games

What a frame that was, Carter in with a break of 63, then Sargeant got 61 but missed the final black with 1 minute remaining, Carter played a safety shot, then Sargeant did, then Carter did however he doubled kissed the black and Sargeant had a tough black but with just under 30 seconds he had to take it on and potted it

Interestingly its the same ref the allowed Ali Carter to change her mind at The Masters over a foul.
Surely she would have called the foul at the time? Rather than wait till she had taken pink out of the pocket and respotted it ?
I dont kmow why she stopped him, but it wasnt because of that!

Break of 101 for Guodong
3rd century of the event so far
Joe Perry and Dave Gilbert will both be delighted as it means they are now certain to be at Southport next week.
Ronnie still be there unless one of the following lift the Snooker Shootout title
Lisowski
Yuelong
Hawkins
Wenbo
Guodong
Holt
McGill
Hang
Woollaston
To add to that even if Ronnie does make it now, he would be 16th meaning it would be Trump v O'Sullivan in round 1
Ryan Day missed a red with 15 seconds to go had he potted it he would have been on the brown to win the match, so close to stealing it
Break of 107 and the 4th Century
