Ben Williams has to be most the most friendly and most popular ref in snooker Ever since that wasp sting his been a popular favourite for players and crowd

[@Anu_Sol]

Seems like a lovely guy. Most of the referees down the years have walked around the table with faces like slapped arses waiting for a chance to give a player or someone in the crowd a bollocking. He's one of the few who seems to have a bit of warmth to him.

[@dannymccrae3070]

Agreed. His reaction to the Stephen Maguire backspin red was legendary. He’s also the only one I’ve seen recently to enforce rules that keep the game flowing - Shaun Murphy stalemate situation and encouraging Mark Selby to take his shot after 3 minutes thinking time are 2 situations that come to mind

[@Ismail_Ismail102]

I agree

[@Danny-fm2zn]

He’s a bit of a knob tbh. Always laughing for no reason… a player will ask a simple question in a tense serious situation then the guy will be there laughing

[@ryanstockley9495]

Yeah he is a great guy with a great personality

Snooker is the most kind, friendly sport ever since. Everyone respects each other ref, crowd, players.. and that 8 frames in a row was insane ! What a mental strength Judd

I think you've got a lot of politics going on behind the scenes, but that's true in all sports, but yes, they are well mannered at the table!

[@nihilist1680]

He even fooled the cameraman. There's no evidence of him touching the pink. 🤣

[@wakstar1]

Judd came of age as a sports personality this year. He showed a lot of genuine humility in his interviews. Bags of fight on the table and no little skill albeit not his A game. The williams match was a classic and the fight back in the final really was first rate. He may have lost but he gained millions of fans imo with his play and his words and approach. Snooker is in good hands.

[@jamesshaw4272]

[@Sean_1919]

I totally agree, I never warmed to Judd until this tournament. Showed something different. I'm happy to admit I seem to have had him wrong

[@oleggorky906]

I remember about three or four years ago when some know alls were saying that he would never win a World Championship 🏆. He proved them wrong reaching two finals in three years, winning one. And he has also won the other Triple Crown events. That badge on his right shoulder isn't there for nothing; there have only been eleven players who have earned the privilege to wear it.

Impromptu Instances such as this are, for me, what makes the world championship so undeniably enjoyably brilliant! universal and gives us all a sense of communion within society even its for single moments!!

when did that happen, have a link?

got it, the cleaning cue ball incident for the brown with Selby - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4fThZd6mtmnhck

[@renerpho]

@@AJsVIEW For context: Jimmy White and Alan McManus criticized Yan's actions as unfair and unsportsmanlike. Eurosport ran a story on it shortly afterward. After the match, Yan explained that it was a joke, meant to release tension, and Alan McManus said on twitter that he had misjudged it and had changed his mind since then. I personally thought of it as nothing but a hilarious joke when I saw it live, but I guess opinions can differ. Jumping to the conclusion that something is done maliciously, however, when it can be attributed to good faith, is harmful.
