Sportsmanship In Snooker - Snooker Lounge 

Sportsmanship in football is the polar opposite of sportsmanship in snooker. Or should i say lack of sportsmanship in football.

Good for you 👍🏻

HOT, not cute!

That Asian referee in the beginning, too...

Yea cheek 🙄

Middle of the game at 3-0 down. Its a bit cheeky from the fella

I agree JJ, the conscience makes you lose concentration

@@JohnJaySnookerChannel yeah damm straight I’d wanna win with every stroke I made period.

No, your opponent has the option of either taking his shot or making you play again. Also, the other player can just foul right back and then you'd be in the same position. However, if there is a stalemate position where both players would rather foul than attempt a legitimate shot, then the frame is started again - this is so rare, I'd doubt you'd find more than a handful of videos on youtube where it occurs; I've never seen it happen in several years of playing league.

@@rcrawlewell said what’s your highest break as a matter of interest

@@JohnJaySnookerChannel 83, I wasn't particularly good and only played C league.

@@rcrawle 83 is brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻

where the cue ball is in contact with the object ball and the cue at the same time.

oh, it rebounded onto the cue?

rodluvan1976 yup

i didn't see it either...

he barely grazed it with his waistcoat, as he was cuing. Maybe moved it a millimetre, but it was still a foul. Very honest of him

When your cue is still in contact with the cue ball while hitting the object ball is a push. Which is a foul.

Ok thanks, I did know about this kind of fault but I didn't see it clearly in this shot. It was very honest of Stephen calling the fault then.

You can feel it in the cue. It also makes a funny tinny sort of noise, which is the cue striking the cue ball twice

There's no way the referee could have noticed that one though.

flobbingdonkey the cue does not strike anything twice with a push shot.

There's nothing wrong with you that couldn't be cured with some Prozac and a polo mallet.

That push thing? I didn't get it either...

rodluvan1976 a push is when the cue ball is in contact with the object ball and the cue tip at the same time. That's the reason players hit the cue ball downwards when it's really close to the object ball

@@sticklebacketiennenicely explained

Because it isn't his video... Tequila originally posted this video and this scumbag has given no credit.

ahhh, i see :)

Because the video was stolen from a guy named Tequila (tequila007).

Give us an example of Ronnie O'Sullivan committing a foul similar to these and not admitting it

I saw one on here recently, he fouls the red but then just plays anyway, was going to link you it but I've got too many snooker videos in my history to be sure which one, sorry!

Fleecemaster Did the ref and the commentators notice it?

lol, obviously the ref didn't notice it or he'd have called foul! I don't remember the commentators saying anything, he just moved a red with the cue he was over, it wasn't an important shot though so the commentators were talking about something else

Fleecemaster Haha yeah you're right about the ref. So no one except you noticed it. How do you know that O'Sullivan noticed it? Did he react as if he noticed it?

splashparis when you can get away with it and still admit it is "good sportsmanship".

Just because you could have gotten away with it, doesn't make it less/more of a cheat. If you know you fouled - then not owning up to it is literally cheating. It's the dictionary definition of cheating!

And isn't not cheating when you could've good sportsmanship?

Actually I believe within the rules of most tournament games you aren't obligated to call your own fouls. Even if this wasn't the case its still good sportsmanship relative to other sports where there is far more of what you would describe as cheating.

splashparis You say not admitting to it would be cheating, but if you've got a job and have an interview, if your employer finds out......yeah, honesty is amazing in theory but greedy, dishonest bastards will always make any sense of logic seem foolish for their own gain. I saw something on television the other day, somebody who was meant to be in a position of some importance (can't remember who) but she said something along the lines of. I pride myself on my honesty, but I'm not going to be forthcoming with any information that may be of detriment to myself. After hearing this i laughed, what a morally retarded individual.

who shat in your breakfast?

*+GroovingPict* 💩🍮

Young Frankenstein it's gambling lingo you bellend. It means he was favourite to win, now he's not. How would you word it? They don't call him second favourite to avoid hurting his feelings you fucking donut

OrcasWaling Yeah, because players not admitting to fouls would really bring snooker out of the "dark ages" What a meaningless comment
