I love it when officials are knowledgeable, fair, assertive/firm, while remaining calm. Technical issues can and do occur from time to time in every sport. The measure of the official(s) is what happens and how they are handled when issues occur.

[@MrJdsenior]

@Too Whom Much Is Given Much Is Required Yeah, and missed 80% of the ones they made. I'm not picking on you, but just sayin. I hear people say things similar to this all the time. The real point is not missing the odd ball very infrequently, but how many innings do they end, often in a row, without missing a single ball or blowing a safety if that was the intent? One time I watched a match where it was 90 balls potted in a row in 9 ball, 10 straight racks in a race to 10. It turned out in that case that EVERY ONE of those 90 balls had one million dollars riding on it (500k actually, as the insurance company reneged on half, but Earl thought there was One million riding, that was the promise for a perfect break and run 10 pack). It was a match of Earl Strickland's BTW. Do you think having $10k, $100k, or $1000k riding might make it a bit more difficult? Just how many attempts do you think it would take you to do that? The answer is about 1000X more lifetimes than you have. I heard it related that SVB once said, when asked if he was ready for a match, that he'd just run 15 racks in a row in practice. That is AMAZING, but not nearly as amazing as the feat Strickland pulled off, because there was literally nothing riding on it when SVB did it, it was just free rolling with not a care in the world, as least WRT that practice. I'm not taking anything away from SVB, one of my very favorite players, but if you asked him that same question of which was the bigger feat, he would almost assuredly answer Earl's, without blinking or thinking.

[@antoniog9814]

1:00:47 This is ridiculous. One would think that for an event of this significance, a relatively simple thing such as a well-functioning shot clock, that it would be tested before the event and would not be an issue.

[@joshbousche8669]

Lol ye. It all started when they didn't restart the clock after Boyes shot. Appleton stepped to the table and thr clock was at 13 seconds already. You can see the confusion on Appleton. Then filler later tries crying saying they used it. They did use it Then but that's due to having half the allowed time lol

[@mikethebeginner]

This match is the perfect illustration of why I prefer 10-ball. All the golden breaks, early nines on combinations, and fluked nines. Bah, humbug! 😱

[@MrJdsenior]

Yeah, because fluking a 10 ball is far less likely than a nine ball, that 10 in the little circle makes all the difference. And more balls makes for less likelihood of getting a random combo...oh wait, no, it doesn't, it makes it MORE likely. The snap difference probably is significant, but I've never seen a spec on it. I've snapped a goodly number in eight ball, but I don't play 10...clueless there. It might be interesting to look up. You actually usually have to go a ways into a tournament before you get the first snapped nine though, as you probably know, in most matches it doesn't even happen once. This match was beyond absurd, statistics wise. Irritatingly beyond it, your Bah Humbug, for this match, I can totally get behind! :-) And it was such a GREAT match up to that point.

[@mikethebeginner]

@@MrJdsenior You clearly don’t play 10-ball. Early 10 ball doesn’t count. It spots up. And 10-ball is call pocket, so flukes don’t count.

The 2 flukes basically won the match highlighting the inherent flaw in 9ball rules - it is far too easy to shut out your opponent with such big pockets. Isn't there a version of 9 ball where you have to call your shots? That would be much better imo and would stop players being robbed by flukes.

[@MrJdsenior]

That celebration of Joshua's on losing rack number four that they won on horseshoe in butt BS was pretty lame. I don't know who made the noise there after he did that, but whoever it was was justified if it was in fact a response. I am to the point after this where I think 9s should be CALLED. Absolutely ridiculous. And where players usually sit down with unhappy or neutral looks or an apologetic wave Joshua arm pump celebrates HORRIBLY hit balls. I realize he's young, but good grief. "The Brits need a chance" In this match what the Brits needed was to be able to miss balls like rank amateurs, sometimes 10 degrees out of line, and have them fall in the pockets somewhere else anyway. They didn't look like pros on those shots, they looked like 2nd week newbie bangers. Nothing like being up 10-6 when it should be the other way round. I really don't think matches should be won or lost on nine ball flukes. In many amateur leagues 9s are called, they should be in the pros to negate this crap. It took all the fun out of watching a match that was shaping up to be very good, the whole front end was a total joy to watch.
