Hendry's game was already done in 2006

I think he'd already set his sights on a pint in the pub for the remainder of the tournament hahaha

Na, only my fat mate Stephen Lee was into throwing frames and matches.

​@@PatrickSwayzeOnDbol Possibly John Higgins. Maybe now Mark King.

​@@Neto808he was world no.1. got to UK championship final too

@Charlotte McNair Blackpool ❤️❤️❤️

Very true - he coached my son a few years ago- absolute gentleman, very kind and considerate

if u break ur cue down,, u agree u've lost,, so u shouldn't be able to rejoin the match,, not an opinion,, it's a RULE !!!

​@@jimmymize8536 I doubt it's an official rule, it's definitely a sign of concession though. But he didn't shake hands and to conceed though.

@@jimmymize8536 people have done that before

I see them get up but I don't see them sit back down?

@@dzarren yes even I didn't but I'm assuming they would have come back 😅😅

@@sanyamwalia217 probably stood quietly on the stairs and watched

@@Charlie_Crown Yeah probably

Do you know any other rules that don’t exist?

@@annoyingbstard9407 🤣🤣🤣

Bill Werbeniuk was Oliver Hardy.

Adrenaline

There is no similar rule in snooker.

There is no rule that prevents him doing that.

@@paulwilliams8389 When it is your turn at the table you can switch shafts, get jump portion of break cue ect. When it is your opponets turn at the table, it is a foul to break down any of your cues. Just curious, what set of rules is this? Dagwoodz Dagwoodz the dude abides... Silver Member May 21, 2010 #5 I've always understood this rule to go like this: If you, without prior warning to your opponent, begin to break down your cue during a match, you are effectively forfeiting that match. Not a foul, not a loss of game. The MATCH. I've never heard any rule where you have to wait till a particular moment, (i.e. your inning vs. your opponents), but it makes sense that it should be done during your inning. I've had to change shafts mid-match, and all it takes is a heads up to your opponent playing. For those of you are going to want to know which rule book its in, I have no flippin clue. I learned this from playing the game, not reading about it. CreeDo CreeDo Fargo Rating 597 Silver Member May 21, 2010 #6 that's a good question. Logically a player could break down his break cue once it's clear he no longer needs it (i.e. the final break of the match has been done, or it's alternate break and the upcoming final break is definitely the other player's). But - the main reason for this rule is it's a brutal shark technique. Someone who is at the table shooting won't necessarily be able to tell that it's just your -break- cue, if he sees it out of the corner of his eye. Or he might know it's the break cue but it sharks the shooter anyway. Without knowing what the rulebooks say, if I truly don't intend to shark anyone I won't unscrew anything until the match is over. Do I REALLY need to save that 20 seconds by unscrewing earlier? At the worst, I will wait until it's my inning and cannot shark my opponent. And if someone does unscrew anything at all while his opponent is shooting, he better be ready for an argument. AtLarge AzB Gold Member Gold Member Silver Member May 22, 2010

If u bet on sport u will lose all game. Ur mindset is toxic. At the end Hendry and Ronnie is best friend.

Well said mate !

Agree!

A bit of gamesmanship for sure , or is taking your cue back to the dressing room easier in two pieces ?

Absolute hogwash. He was standing behind Bond. Outwith his eyeline. Silly sausage.

@@DrB81 incorrect. Hendry unscrewed shortly after the blue was potted. This was in full view.

Yes, you don’t do that!

Of the highest order, really? Bit of an exaggeration don't you think

It can’t be gamesmanship if the opponent can’t see it. He did it when Bond completely had his back to him at the table and he did it after Bond potted the pink because he naturally supposed it was game over.

@@dringypie Yeah but it sounds good doesn’t it, “Of the highest order”

@@johnp515 Hendry unscrewed cue after the blue was sunk, not the pink. In full view.

Aa k, km 😀 AA AA ofi baat n . Aa AA AA 😘 ok ooahi kar bas yahi to, 👍I . Kk mam see 😀m mm My

No

@@PatrickSwayzeOnDbol why not?

If the cur just one piece how?

In yr face

He didn’t say heads . He acknowledged he was gonna call then you call whilst It’s in the air and he said tails

@@billymabum3514 a think nigel bonds reaction tells us that he himself thought hendry said heads. Bond clearly feels he won the toss as he asks hendry to play first

@@KKDD_87 irrelevant what bond thinks. Fact is hendry called tails and won the toss

@@billymabum3514 hendry clearly says head then tail. Cant pick both im affraid. Got what he deserved in the end. Snooker has no place for cheats

@@KKDD_87did you hear say heads ? No . Did you hear him say tails ? Yes

Is that a rule?

@@XaviRonaldo0 yup, once you unscrew your cue, you are conceding the frame, it's called giving up.

@@johnmackenzie3773 where in the rules does it say that? Plus, it is against the rules to concede a frame if there are enough points on the table.

@@XaviRonaldo0 it’s not against the rules, don’t listen to the dickhead. edit: unless John can quote the rule book......

@@XaviRonaldo0 I got my sports wrong, it's in Black ball (Pool terms that it can be classed as a concede frame), but maybe this should be a new future snooker rule.

Unless the scores are then equal and aggregate scores are not relevant

No, it just brings the frame to an end with a 7 point foul awarded. I thought like you as a kid though, my brothers misinterpreted the rule.
