Respot Drama In Crucible Decider! | Nigel Bond vs Stephen Hendry | 2006 World Snooker Championship

[@stillwater62]

Stephen Hendry looked like he was doing everything he could to give the game to Nigel Bond.

[@Neto808]

Hendry's game was already done in 2006

[@Joetp]

I think he'd already set his sights on a pint in the pub for the remainder of the tournament hahaha

Na, only my fat mate Stephen Lee was into throwing frames and matches.

Stephen Hendry at 3:54 as he starts to screw his cue back together. 😅 Nigel at 4:25 is so shell-shocked he doesn't know what is happening.

I think in the official rules, unscrewing or otherwise starting to put your cue away is considered a concession of the match or at least session/frame.

[@grahamwilkinson7871]

If I had seen Stephen Hendry unscrewing his cue, then I would have asked him if he had conceded the match. Regardless of the situation, you should always let the guy on the table finish his shot. Mind games on Hendry' part.

All these muppets saying he should have just conceded once he unscrewed, no bollocks, He thought had had lost so he did it, he hadn't why would he then go ah you know what I'm finished now, you can't screw this back together again. hendry was the second best player and is one of the most sporting ever end of.

It looked like Hendry was not even interested in the respotted black...Its as if he wanted Bond to win??.....

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

I respect hendry, but unscrewing your cue before end of frame was out of order. You expect that down your local pub not in world champs. That should’ve been concession of frame when he did that.

[@hansleypage8955]

Well said mate !

[@cliff9136]

Agree!

[@self-preservationsociety7057]

A bit of gamesmanship for sure , or is taking your cue back to the dressing room easier in two pieces ?

[@DrB81]

Absolute hogwash. He was standing behind Bond. Outwith his eyeline. Silly sausage.

[@paulwilliams8389]

There is no rule that prevents him doing that.

[@jimmymize8536]

@@paulwilliams8389 When it is your turn at the table you can switch shafts, get jump portion of break cue ect. When it is your opponets turn at the table, it is a foul to break down any of your cues. Just curious, what set of rules is this? Dagwoodz Dagwoodz the dude abides... Silver Member May 21, 2010 #5 I've always understood this rule to go like this: If you, without prior warning to your opponent, begin to break down your cue during a match, you are effectively forfeiting that match. Not a foul, not a loss of game. The MATCH. I've never heard any rule where you have to wait till a particular moment, (i.e. your inning vs. your opponents), but it makes sense that it should be done during your inning. I've had to change shafts mid-match, and all it takes is a heads up to your opponent playing. For those of you are going to want to know which rule book its in, I have no flippin clue. I learned this from playing the game, not reading about it. CreeDo CreeDo Fargo Rating 597 Silver Member May 21, 2010 #6 that's a good question. Logically a player could break down his break cue once it's clear he no longer needs it (i.e. the final break of the match has been done, or it's alternate break and the upcoming final break is definitely the other player's). But - the main reason for this rule is it's a brutal shark technique. Someone who is at the table shooting won't necessarily be able to tell that it's just your -break- cue, if he sees it out of the corner of his eye. Or he might know it's the break cue but it sharks the shooter anyway. Without knowing what the rulebooks say, if I truly don't intend to shark anyone I won't unscrew anything until the match is over. Do I REALLY need to save that 20 seconds by unscrewing earlier? At the worst, I will wait until it's my inning and cannot shark my opponent. And if someone does unscrew anything at all while his opponent is shooting, he better be ready for an argument. AtLarge AzB Gold Member Gold Member Silver Member May 22, 2010

Gamesmanship of the highest order by Hendry, unscrewing his cue. Thankfully it didn’t work.

[@bencasey3150]

Yes, you don’t do that!

[@dringypie]

Of the highest order, really? Bit of an exaggeration don't you think

[@johnp515]

It can’t be gamesmanship if the opponent can’t see it. He did it when Bond completely had his back to him at the table and he did it after Bond potted the pink because he naturally supposed it was game over.

I always wanted Hendry to lose in those days because he was such a dominant force in the 90s and I thought he still had it in him in the 00s to win Titles. I'm so glad Ronnie's matched his 7 Titles. Hopefully, he'll overtake Hendry.

If u bet on sport u will lose all game. Ur mindset is toxic. At the end Hendry and Ronnie is best friend.

Crazy but i would have thought that unscrewing your cue meant he conceded, it is the same as shaking hands in my book. If bond heard him do it he should have turned around without potting the black and offered to shake his hand. Then it would have been difficult for Henry to back step and screw it back up. Very poor sportsmanship in my book.
