Re: World Championship Snooker

Great game last night.

The one thing that unfortunately will always stick in my mind is when the Chinese boy missed the snooker which meant Swail could win. Ref replaced the balls, and as the studio panel showed it was in the wrong place, very close yes but not quite the same. This meant that the Chinaman could now see the yellow so he just gets down and slow rolls off the side of it and lands a good safety shot. Now, snooker has always had much pride in the honesty and professionalism of it's players, like calling a foul on themselves etc etc etc. My point is that Wen Bo must've known that all of a sudden he wasn't snookered any more. To me this looks very bad and very unprofessional, or am I wrong? Any views fellow snooker fans?

All that apart, was indeed a great game and can only be good for the game (cheating apart ) seeing a new young face in the QF.
