Another chicken shit “foul”

[BeiberLvr]

Totally different, ball is still in play, idiot let it drop and should be punished. Ball is the determining factor of the play. In pool, in this case, the balls the player put on the table had ZERO effect. Cucks are gonna cuck

You know what else can have ZERO effect? Going 75 in a 65 on an empty highway at 3am. Have fun calling the cop that enforces the law by writing you a citation a "retarded chickenshit"

Not every cop will write you a ticket for only going 10 over the speed limit. Not every cop will even bother to pull you over, but you can't get upset when they do.

Kinda hard to see with that vid but, if it had just been the ref calling it I'd say oh well, guess it's a stupid rule.

The real irritating part is that the other player seems to get into the act as if it were some egregious infraction. He could of had a little class and at least acted like he was sorry to take a game like that. Don't know who he was but if I did, that would be hard to forget if I were to see him in future matches.

Nope. I know I'm smart enough to read, understand, and follow them without crying about them or making up my own rules. If I don't like the rules, I don't play. You're no different than every set of bar rules with their own excuses

You play fkn 9ball, sloppiest stupid game in existence as long as something falls you keep playing, yay

 

[Texas Carom Club]

It's not same. They are not playing the same sport. Surprise. By picking the balls out of the pocket while the cueball is in motion he gave away the game. Your like a clown in a bar who complains when you play safe.

Best case. He was ignorant to the rule (probably not).

You must play 9ball to make the analogy you did before . Hey as long as something falls down I’m da winner

I have a question for you all. Football (American). Player with ball running down the sidelines. Nobody between him and end zone. 5 yards from scoring he tosses the ball into the sidelines. What happens? Are the refs blamed for "chicken shit" call? Is the opposing team lambasted for not giving up the points?

Just saying? In life. War. Work. Church. Home. Play Ground. Pool Hall. Actions have consequences. Own it.

Or the ref calls a holding penalty on his teammate, far away from him where it couldn't possibly have affected the play.

Because those are the rules by which 9-ball is played...

Is an intentional 3-foul chicken shit? An early 9? Damnit, just step up and run the rack like real men do!

 

[Swighey]

It's a foul. No two ways about it. In a friendly game or training session you sweep up early. But in a pro tournament, or an amateur one that has any degree of integrity, it's a foul everytime.

What integrity is infringed on when you pull the balls from the pocket as the cue ball is traveling about to stop on the other side of the table ?
Ridiculous

Unfortunately, two things can be true at once, in this scenario.

Yes, it is/was a rule, and yes, the calling of that particular "foul," when it had zero chance of effecting the outcome of that game, was a move indicative of erectile dysfunction, IMO.

The "offending" player should have been given a warning, and the other "fellow" should have been handed a tube of Vagisil, and escorted to the nearest restroom, for immediate application.

Personally, there is no way in hell, I call that on my opponent, when I have clearly lost the game. If I win a game, I want it to be because I beat my opponent on the battlefield...not because I took candy from his/her Halloween bag when they weren't looking, and ended up with more pieces of candy than they did.

OP title response, next time this person does this, do the chicken dance and cluck and laugh at Him, I'm betting its' NOT a woman.

 

[DaveK]

There’s no need at all for this chicken shit rule to be called , should not exist, it does, should never be called

In my experience it is an important rule, specifically in the case where someone puts their hand in a pocket when the cueball is rolling towards a scratch in that pocket. If the cueball does NOT scratch it makes it difficult to tell if the persons hand was the reason or if the cueball would not have fell regardless.

Stand back and wait for the balls to stop rolling, it's easy.

Dave <-- wonders if the OP thinks snooker waistcoat fouls are also "chicken shit"

... Dave <-- wonders if the OP thinks snooker waistcoat fouls are also "chicken shit"

But, then, snooker players will call such fouls on themselves when even the camera doesn't pick it up.

9ball all around is idiotic

Depends on one perspective of this game and others.

In Pro Golf you hit a perfect drive ''down the middle'' 300 yards and it falls into a divot, and they won't let the player drop to the flat surface, is that idiotic, nope it's the rules of play.
I too look at ball movements in one pocket that often have allot of luck, ESPECIALLLY the break at times.
But that's pool and that's how she rolls.

In my opinion these two instances should not be covered by the same rule, or at the least the rule should allow the differentiation between possible impact on the shot in play or not. Again, judgement call. Call it a "Sportsmanship-related Act", and it can be positive, negative, or neutral. The ref chooses the designation and only the negative ones are penalized.

Yeah if a shirt brush a ball, chicken shit all day
Doesn’t affect the game in anyway
Just fancy made up rules to make the players feel “elite” and special

No particular disagreement with you Dave. Understanding the rule, and the spirit of the rule, is an important distinction in this particular case, IMO.

I understand that its a tournament, and perhaps there's money on the line...I get it. Still no way in hell I am calling that in this particular case. The cue ball was coming to a stop, nowhere near the pocket that fellow reached into, nor was he trying to prevent a scratch.

"Winning" that way might sit well with some folks. I certainly wouldn't want to take/claim a "victory" in that fashion. Maybe I was raised wrong.

When it's wet outside, sometimes the golfers are allowed to lift, clean, and place, even in the fairway.

Nothing to do with how you were raised my friend, and I think you were raised just fine. I too would not point that out to a ref to get a win ... but I do not play for money (in tournaments or gambling). Obviously the player in the video had other ideas, and it's his prerogative to call it out ... and of course the referee was also involved, not sure they are wanting to make mistakes.

Texas Carom Club is entitled to his opinion, but it's not going to change people or rules ... and I found his wording and his general demeanor telling.
