If there's two hard reds left in the tourney match and you're spoutin on "ah well ffs, gg wp" when you're 10 behind and still in it, it's just ignorant. thought we got rid of this crap 2 years ago, no wonder a lot of us are pressin the ignore user button soon as people join games.

oh and p.s. this is meant for all the lads with one or two thousand games or so, not the newbies and all

ok...

It is annoying and i often call it desperation tactics, but there is no rule against it so theres not much you can do other then accept it or stick em on iggy.

lmao, ye netime I get a gg before the flag I let my opponent have it verbally then I put them on ignore. .....Which is short for ignorant I think....

Other day, i got this player, we started and before i took my first shot, he went gg wp!!!

He was saying he would have no chance at beating me. He nearly beat me in end but oh well.

exactly the same happens to me often i think it should be part fo the rules to be forbidden, its bad sportsmanship

doesnt exactly effect u tho does it

obviously it does or he wouldnt have made the thread, it gets to me also.

its a put off and very bad sportsmanship

ahhh cmon ur in control of ur own shots in the final moments.....yh agree it is bad sportsman ship

but dont think it effects the overall endng of a game

LOL wasn't it you who asked us not to watch the final of the tourny cus it was off putting ? just the same.

and as for "gg wp" it adds that extra bit of unwanted pressure to clear up thus why so many people screw up when you see it.

lol yh well thats other people watchin init mike lol.....

totally different lol..

good players dont buckle under the pressure lmao

course its the same thing! you see they are there so it puts you off

just as you see gg wp it puts you off

well dont bother me lol

omg i hate it lol , its like shakin hands before the game is over, annoys me!! in real life games wud never happen.

O'Sullivan did that when he was 4-1 down to Hendry... eventually he got fined $20,000 and 900 ranking points for that

I've never understood this one. gg means good game - that applies at any point. Indeed it can be a gg in the middle of a frame but end up pretty poor by the time its finished.

Likewise wp = well played. I say that after a player plays a good shot, since thats what they did, they played it well.

It seems that over the years people have formed an image that you should only compliment your opponent after a game is finished, which is frankly a bit weird...

good point, but if that is really what they mean tho, if it is fair enough. But if they are just saying it to put you off, then its just not nice.

e.g ur opponent just missed a shot and you are set up for a clearence then he says gg wp, you just know that he is trying to put you off, and get another chance.
