No Shaggles. There's only one black on the table. Same as if there was only one of your opponents reds left and you wanted to nominate that. Just 'I nominate the red' would be sufficient.
I believe it's only so there is no doubt in the Refs and opposing players mind of what ball can be played as the players own for that shot. |

The second question in the referee exam is one you ask to yourself.
'What the fuck have I done with my life?'

I took the Refereeing exam because at the time, I was Captain of the Surrey Ladies team and thought it would be a good idea to have an extended knowledge of the ruleset.
Shame your Ref against Paul Adams couldn't bother even opening the rulebook over the last 24 months or you could be boasting a win against the mighty Prop right now . .

I've called him worse than that over his reffing.
The referee should establish which ball is being nominated if its not clear from the players request. He should not be standing by waiting to call a foul especially when he actually does know which ball is nominated. That's just plain rude. |

I was always told it is the responsibility of the player to ensure that the referee understands his intentions. No idea really if that's right or not but if I go by that principle I can't fall foul of overzealous (or underzealous!) referees. |

Spot on RasFas. It's not just rude, it's a dodgy referee trying to gain an unfair advantage for thier team.
Or in Garys case, a dumb referee . . . |

If a referee isn't sure what the players intentions were, then they should ask for clarification. No point the Ref calling a foul and the player saying 'that's what I said' and the Ref not knowing because they heard them say something but wasn't sure what it was, so ignored it . . |

I can honestly say I would have rather lost than won under those circumstances. We are saving our maiden victory over the Prop for next week's knock-one-out-when-we-win cup.
Ironically the person reffing that particular frame is the one person in our squad you would expect to know the rules. He is basically every bit a pool professional in every way (other than ability)

The Saxtonator should be ashamed. A former County player too.

When Paul asked Paul to pick the white up, he should have said 'no'. I'm sure Paul (Adams) would have worked out eventually why and there wouldn't have been a foul anyway, so this whole thread has been a waste of time. |

But not as pointless as sitting a referee exam? Surely?

Hey - if I'd been reffing, this bullshit thread would have never needed to be started!!
Instead you called on the services of livestock. |

The point of this thread (well, the secondary point, after discussing Div1 Wk10) is some of us don't believe Saxton was wrong to pick up the white ball. Admittedly most seem to think it's a question of bending the rules in the name of sportsmanship but I think the rules actually allow for this. It might have helped if he'd said "Foul snooker, ball in hand" as he was doing it, but otherwise he responded correctly to a legitimate request taking the situation into account. |

Stop backing Saxton.
If it'd been anyone else, I'd agree. But Saxton must pay. Oh yes.
Mwahhhhh haaaa haaaaaaaa . . . . |

I was not trying to win Mr Evans you cannot convince me regardless of what blurb you come out with, that the only decision in this case was to allow Mr Adams to continue with his two shots. That is that I am not here for the turning my friend |

Saxton was involved?
I retract all previous statements made in support of aforementioned.
Jerk Chicken deserves all he gets. There can be no sportsmanship or concession made for him.
Travelling around the South East like a cue-toting hobo, whoring himself to any County that will allow him in the door.
Mardy ar$ed sore loser as well. The very worst type of player.
Frankly his cue would be put to better use if he lashed a load of twigs to the blunt end and used it as a broom to sweep the balls into the holes.
(Just kidding Paul  )

Saxton 10 years hence, finally putting his cue to practical use as a cooking implement.
Destitute, so dishevelled that his feathers have burst through the top of his hat, run out of Counties to play for, finding solace in marijuana, having kidnapped Tommy Creightons dog, and with what looks suspiciously like a porno mag in his pocket.
The filthy cheating pig.

Please bear in mind, people, that the venerable Mr Saxton has applied (in writing, no less) to join the committee. Should he be elected, he will be (in part) responsible for upholding the rules we all play by, and debate so heatedly. The inference, therefore, is that he will also have a say in mediating in any rule dispute.... ???
The half year AGM is on the 21st Feb....the decision is upon the secretaries (or nominated representatives)....you have only one vote, and you cannot use it if you are not there.....
