So there is! Nice one Damee. I guess that must be pretty rare as the situation doesn't usually arise at a time the scores can be "reversed" so to speak, to create that scenario.

Anyone else reallised they often play away from near/touching balls in case a push shot is called? I do it all the time and only just realised

Fouls and miss rule is very complicated but there is another occasion where there is a limit:

From the official rules of Snooker Section 14 said:

...
(c) After a miss has been called under paragraph (b) above when there was a clear path in a straight line from the cue-ball to a ball that was on or that could have been on, such that central, full-ball, contact was available (in the case of Reds, this to be taken as a full diameter of any Red that is not obstructed by a colour), then:
(i) a further failure to first hit a ball on in making a stroke from the same position shall be called as a FOUL AND A MISS regardless of the difference in scores, and
(ii) if asked to play again from the original position, the offender shall be warned by the referee that a third failure will result in the frame being awarded to his opponent.
