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


If it didn't effect it then people wouldn't do it. Any1 can get rattled, even the greats can be rattled by things their opponents say. Saying gg wp is only meant to make the other player mad so he/she migh tmiss.

I say gg when it's a good game, and wp when someone plays well.

May i suggest that if simple things like a couple of letters being displayed in an online game window can make you mad, it might be time to take a break?

same thing just happened to me in tourny semi final, easy enough chance, but because it was speed tourny, by the time i read his "gg wp m8 all urs" i had a few secs left. off putting or what, it resulted in me rushin my shot and played poor positioning.... really gets on my nerves

I really hate all the early gg wp all urs stuff, it really annoys me. I make a point of saying, look, show abit of sportsman ship and wait till the game actually is over.

I never say gg unless the game is over, or i need sommat like 20 points from snookers with just the pink and black left.

Really angers me! wooosaa!

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...

about 10,000 games of funky ive clocked up its pretty obvious to me and not really worth debating the meaning of sayin such words in the middle of a game.

Ahh yes and also after 1 red has been potted is that enough time to say gg wp?

what spinner says is probably what its 1st meaning was, no however it means you'll clear from here and win... this adds pressure.

I am one of the people who really dislike the use of the early gg wp attitude.
I understand spinner's point, and I wouldn't take it bad if he said it to me - considering the use he makes of it.
But, we, people that dislike the early gg wp attitude know what's it meant to sound like, when certain opponents say that to us! It's a pure put off, and you can't say "it's a silly complaint", because we are not cold mechanical beings who are not affected by circumstances , and they know it!

just do what i do on key shots, ignore anything anyone says

if you are just looking at the table, and concentrate hard enough, it shouldnt put you off

its not as if it makes a noise when someone says something, so i dont see how it can be such a problm

having said that, it clearly isnt a nice thing to do, but there is no rules against it so what can you do?

and it will almost be impossible to make it a rule cuz of the point spinners made
