aye kenny this is kinda my point like,

i dont think its naming and shaming really , the guy hasnt done anything wrond really hes just played a shot that is classed as unsporting to many players.

he hasnt been abusive or actually cheated he is just using his knowledge of opponent to play a sneaky shot.

i highlighted his name because it was a good example

of a gr8 player on original in a ten second match against an unknown opponent.

im sure if he was here reading this he'd probably be rather pleased with himself.

to be fair its not an advantage is it. basically .......... new the guy was a newer player and knew the shot would put him under pressure.

its easy for the likes of damee and j-dollar to say because there top quality players so yes giving them control of the table is advantage to them.

when your a newer player being offered a long red (example) is daunting and the likelihood is you will miss or mess up a safety.

also this guy was playing in the speed tournament on orignal in the match he was talking about so basically the player knew this bloke was gonna struggle to pot by the sounds of it.

its not an advantage at all when your a newer player yes your in control but if your still learning, well we've all been there.

there is no good / bad comments in this thread, the only thing anyone can say is try to avoid that player again and if you have to play him in a tourney hopefully a little bit of sweet revenge will come your way.

perfect example i was on for my first 107 and the guy left so break was stopped short, couple of days later, semi final first frame same bloke, i got my 107, he couldnt leave cos the game was best of 3. couldnt of asked for a better time to get my first maximum.

its just a bit of bad sportmanship / tactical play from the experienced player. unavoidable and certainly wont be the last time you come accross this.

Bang out of order..

He used to come on a guest and harrass me. Keep tucking me up so I couldnt even see any reds (deliberate foul onto a colour) so I make him retake and he do the same. He'd let the time go right down to 1 second before taking his shot.

I warned players of his behavour on my profile way back but it was removed.. Am just helping fellow players play the game as it should be.

But as kenny said, what a great bloke

Ah so it's that user. Yeah we've all had our problems with him lol.

Cue_power - replay shot? That's the foul and miss rule, which can not be added onto here as you need a ref to judge it.


Have it for for a maximum of 3 shots.

It might make little difference in certain cases...and yes they can tap out 3 times but at least you get 12 points instead of 4 and if its down to the colours, then he might have to actually try hitting the ball, as rolling out maks them require a snooker.

So replay button thats available for a MAXIMUM of 3 goes.

Bcoz like i said, they might ACTUALLY be on in impossible snooker.

Also, when Lee spoke about my tapping out...if it was against a weaker player i'd never roll out...but on that occasion in a semi final of a tournament against a player of Lee's ability the chances i can come off 2 cushions and rest on a red not leaving a pot on...very slim.

So its a compliment

Also you have to consider the fact i snookered myself, rather than being snookered by opponent. Plus it might of been impossible or next to it!

You need someone to judge for a foul and miss, which is exactly the rule you are talking about.

No point adding rules to the site which firstly doesn't work in some situations and secondly isn't a correct rule at all!
