    The ref did nothing wrong, she flattened the dent out, put the ball on the spot and he decided not to pot it. Nothing to do with sportsmanship or the ref, just Ronnie deciding not to pot a ball.

      At no point was the pot ever on, it was manufactured drama by ROS as always.. it was his tip the other day, then it was this, then it was the patch on his waistcoat. Nothing to do with the better man on the day, beating him ofcourse.

      she spotted the black so the red didnt pot, then faffed about for 5 mins until she baltantly left it so the red went easily. basically she couldnt spot the ball correctly. is that ronnies fault?. i think after all the drama over it just didnt sit right with ronnie to pot the red, as it may of seemed like he was cheating.

      Hmmm, not so sure about that! She is constantly dropping balls and knocking other balls out of place, requiring the back end team to revert to cameras to replace the balls. In this instance the Red went if the Black was spotted correctly. Even when it kept rocking she stated she would only try one more time! That is not her decision. The ball has to be correct no matter how many times it needs replacing. When it was placed correctly it clearly potted, so without him queyring it, it would've (and ultimately did) cause an end to a break in a crucial frame.

      People saying that the red would pot using a bit of side is just dumb. Ronnie didn't go for the pot because he was playing bad and knew that it was a a 3 out of 10 pot and if he missed the red would be over the pocket fo Bingham.

      However, my point was really regarding Ronnie's attitude to the whole situation. He sets himself up for failure by blaming the referee, who in my mind did all she could to correct any possible error.
      If the red did indeed pot, then Ronnie should have potted it, his refusal to do so is nothing to do with sportsmanship.
      My belief is that he already felt very much under the cosh and the result leaves me to feel confident in my prediction that he would lose, which he duly did.

    It appears that McManus hasn't seen the situation at all. It was never a question of whether the black could be respotted, but whether the red could be potted after the black is on its spot. For me this was very tight and they never showed the best possible camera angle, even after the final respot. It still appeared that maybe he needed a trace of side to pot it.

    great sportsmanship from both players to be honest. Ref asked Stuart to have a look and he said "I trust Ronnie, if he says it goes, it goes" and Ronnie doesn't go for the pot after getting the ball spotted correctly. I don't think Ronnies comments about ref having it in for him were necessarily directed at this particular ref in this particular incident. She is a great ref in my opinion, and also in the professionals opinions from what was said in commentary and in the studio. I can't see why Ronnie would have a different opinion. During the incident he even said " it's ok take your time" and Ronnie hasn't been that understanding or patient with other Ref's that he maybe doesn't have a high opinion of in the past.
