[@danielhenderson7050]

​@@gregoirefourniermontgieux2033I had to find the full video myself and look up the rules. So Judd broke and Ronnie's shot on the red was tight after. He asked the ref and Judd to check that he could see the red and had a possible shot on it (in case it was replaced). He took it and missed everything, ending up on the middle left of table. Now the ref replaces the ball back to where it was originally, as this is apparently the rules they are using when there is a foul and a miss. Then Ronnie is not happy with the placement being the same.

Ronnie would have accepted that if he did, with a laugh. That would have been nice. Even if he did it and hit the blue, or missed, he could've gone, no you're right. Instead he accuses ronnie of making a rude gesture later causing trump to complain about the ref.

[@7kenjoyer]

weird that nobody ever mentions the marker, because he's the one in control and he kept saying 'just a fraction' and told the ref to stop adjusting, when it was shown on tv there's significant difference and the position still needs to be adjusted. do these markers not see what we see on tv or they're simply not good enough for that job? it's fine when a fraction doesn't play a role, balls aren't perfectly placed, but in this situation it really does, and it's so obvious

Off memory there is a method to do this, a youtube channel "stuff made here" made a video which the technology could be used, through an overhead camera.

To me it seemed to be basically on the same spot, just a fraction closer to the center and a tiny bit farther from the cushion. Happens all the time when repositioning the balls like that. Not necessarily a big deal, imo. But surely there are some mind games going on, this time from Ronnie himself, maybe Trump shouldn't have been that accomodating.

Terrible attitude from the referee. When he said “yes, perfect” he sounded so patronising. Also he believed Judd that it had to go right but not Ronnie.
