The ref did nothing wrong, she flattened the dent out, put the ball on the spot and he decided not to pot it. Nothing to do with sportsmanship or the ref, just Ronnie deciding not to pot a ball.

@lf67hh28 Ай бұрын

At no point was the pot ever on, it was manufactured drama by ROS as always.. it was his tip the other day, then it was this, then it was the patch on his waistcoat. Nothing to do with the better man on the day, beating him ofcourse.

@SuperChalkster Ай бұрын

she spotted the black so the red didnt pot, then faffed about for 5 mins until she baltantly left it so the red went easily. basically she couldnt spot the ball correctly. is that ronnies fault?. i think after all the drama over it just didnt sit right with ronnie to pot the red, as it may of seemed like he was cheating.

@Greggieboy76 Ай бұрын

Hmmm, not so sure about that! She is constantly dropping balls and knocking other balls out of place, requiring the back end team to revert to cameras to replace the balls. In this instance the Red went if the Black was spotted correctly. Even when it kept rocking she stated she would only try one more time! That is not her decision. The ball has to be correct no matter how many times it needs replacing. When it was placed correctly it clearly potted, so without him queyring it, it would've (and ultimately did) cause an end to a break in a crucial frame.

He looks stressed out, but pretending not to be bothered about it in front of the camera.

100% People saying that the red would pot using a bit of side is just dumb. Ronnie didn't go for the pot because he was playing bad and knew that it was a a 3 out of 10 pot and if he missed the red would be over the pocket fo Bingham. But this is classic O'Sullivan. When he knows he's about to lose a big match then the ref and the crowd are going to be in the line of fire.

The ball was respotted correctly. What wasn't shown was whether the red would pot once it was. The bottom line is that Ronnie showed fragility by blaming the ref. It was an excuse due to pressure.

@@Greggieboy76 If I'm wrong, please forgive me but I didn't see a camera angle that showed the red was available once the black was correctly spotted. However, my point was really regarding Ronnie's attitude to the whole situation. He sets himself up for failure by blaming the referee, who in my mind did all she could to correct any possible error. If the red did indeed pot, then Ronnie should have potted it, his refusal to do so is nothing to do with sportsmanship. My belief is that he already felt very much under the cosh and the result leaves me to feel confident in my prediction that he would lose, which he duly did.

great sportsmanship from both players to be honest. Ref asked Stuart to have a look and he said "I trust Ronnie, if he says it goes, it goes" and Ronnie doesn't go for the pot after getting the ball spotted correctly. I don't think Ronnies comments about ref having it in for him were necessarily directed at this particular ref in this particular incident. She is a great ref in my opinion, and also in the professionals opinions from what was said in commentary and in the studio. I can't see why Ronnie would have a different opinion. During the incident he even said " it's ok take your time" and Ronnie hasn't been that understanding or patient with other Ref's that he maybe doesn't have a high opinion of in the past.

Sportsmanship how?

@MarkWilliams-rd5jf Ай бұрын

Im a huge O'Sullivan fan but poor shot selection towards the end ended his quest for 8 ....... so to blame others Ronnie mate is a total cop out

@a1white Ай бұрын

Completely out of order. She did not have it wrong. The ball did not move at all sfter she had managed to flatten that divot. You can clearly see that and so could he. It's the same with the door-gate situation. She was telling the people to sit down and telling the person on the door NOT to let anyone in, she was annoyed as Ronnie when people then came in again after she had told him to not let anyone in. Telling her to "Chill" was so disrespectful.

Retrospectively, Ronnie played bad for themes of the crucible. Talent can get you that far...Stuart has played a GREAT game. A 25 frame game very very very rarely comes down to a single ball...let alone one that was not "respoted" properly.

Not sure id fully agree with Ali regarding Ronnie 'snotting' all over the place, (in the final they played a while back) but he certainly doesnt carry himself well around a table. I think its something to do with lack of class

Shocking attitude as per usual, no other player has anywhere near the number of ‘issues’ Ronnie has, I wonder why

Why don’t they interview all players during the mid session? Eurosport PR team probably thought it was a good idea to trying to justify why Ronnie was disrespectful to the ref.

the referee will learn to be more in charge of these types of situations with experience. I still dont like ronnie telling her to chill out, this was something the referee probably hasnt had to contend with at such a big and important tournament. Annoys me that he cant see the ref is trying her best BUT no matter what happens, ronnie, the ref and stuart are human beings.

@pauldonohoe3646 Ай бұрын

Ronnie had every right to tell her to chill out. People were still moving about and she was telling him to play on. 2 seconds later the door opens again and people start flowing in. Disgusting and shockingly bad refereeing from her.

@@pauldonohoe3646 hi paul i hold my hands up,ive been on the beer all day, when this video popped up on here, i confused it with the situation during the black spot issue earlier today. You are dead right, the door thing is absolutely the referees poor decision making and lack of authority. She was abit too ditzy about it. kebab time then beer for me, peace!!

The thing is this: In such a tournament there only should be refs with experience and the commensurate authority. This is not a place to learn. She could be the video ref and help her colleagues respot after a miss.

@leesmith9299 Ай бұрын

alan is missing the point completely. they knew it could spot but it was rolling off the spot which was the problem. measuring if it could spot was not needed.

@muckle8 Ай бұрын

Some of the point was that the red was NEVER on if the black was anywhere near being perfectly placed. A better more precise way of spotting balls is needed though definately, why not lazer spot markers from the top shining down ?

@jonhoward5151 Ай бұрын

When watching this I thought her manner wasn’t perfect. I remember her saying “I’m not spotting this again”. I don’t think that attitude is right. In the end it was rolling off the spot, as a player you simply want it precisely in its place otherwise the shot is compromised.

@MrSimonwref Ай бұрын

The ronnie appreciation society call this sportsmanship. It wasn't. It was self preservation. He saw the media narrative of "ronnie bullies ref to get his own way". So he played the original shot, he was being passive aggressive to prove his point. Should we also talk about him telling the ref to "chill" in the evening session....

'Horrible' human being. Wow for friggin questioning a black respot in a game of snooker. Do you even understand the meaning of that word? Fragile much.

This guy needs to grow up. He runs his mouth at referees throughout the years..”you should get your eyes checked” “that’s such a bad job refereeing” “that’s so bad”… he speaks I’ll of other players - Shaun Murphy why he plays and commentates- but he does the same for Eurosport.. Maybe he should take a break - he’ll see why he won’t win the acclaimed sportsman of the year

@d347b2 Ай бұрын

No point was made. The ref didn't invent the dent on the black spot. Don't know what's more embarrassing, the abuse of the ref or the fact Eurosport will do anything Ronnie says (like agree to give Ronnie this little interview specifically to dig out the ref). A broadcaster agreeing to undermine the refs who aren't millionaires and don't need the unjustified grief. Both Ronnie and Eurosport need to realise the world doesn't revolve around one player; 7 titles in 30 odd years; that means over 20 he didn't win. Get real.

The ref should have had this sorted out immediately, as her judgment is the only one that actually counts. The players don't get to express their opinion on matters like this.
