Only the willfully obtuse are still claiming good hit. Worse than them, are the ones condemning Yapp. It’s a professional match, with a full time professional referee. You don’t call fouls on yourself, under those circumstances.
All of these things are true:
- According to people here who's opinion I trust Yapp is a good guy
- He is a phenomenal pool player
- It was a foul
- He has now been involved in two fouls in the last game of championship matches, one of which would have very likely changed the outcome
- There is no excuse for the referees to get this wrong any more except for the largely "oh well" attitude from us, the viewers
