Poor guy. It must be him...
I remember once seeing him ask a ref in the middle of a game to clean a cueball. The ref just reached down, grabbed the cueball from --wherever-- and started wiping it in his cloth; look on Melling's face was priceless...

I remember and I actually posted a thread about it!!
HAhaha! Poor dude!
not the same ref though....the tournament where the ref picked up the ball was in the US.
3 point rule....
A minimum of 3 balls has to get past the head string and/or go down on the break for the player to stay at the table.
Magic racks are explicitly forbidden to be on the rail, I believe.
As absurd and misguided as the "rule" is, Corey kept breaking the same damn way. Guess he was missing his Mosconi coach.
Perhaps, but the entire tourney till now (rack your own), players were doing it. Anyway, the ref could’ve waited.
Check out the links to the brackets that have been posted 15 times
on which of the 31 pages?
On the other hand, Melling could’ve waited also.
the Wu-Biado match was also a thriller. Real tight match!
He was literally in his backswing when the ref ran over
Well, I got 12 pages, LOL. You need to update your preferences to show more posts per page
But you could always start with page 1 post 6.
I’m thinking snooker etiquette at this level, which Melling knows very well.
...you shoot when the ref is done.
...if you shoot a red while the ref is still spotting a color.....it’s a foul.
....if you shoot when the ref has spotted a ball on the wrong spot...it’s a foul.
In snooker, it is up to the player to see that the table is in order before he shoots....
...can’t pass the blame onto the ref.
Just click on VIDEO on the following link. Semifinals will begin at 3 am US EST and the finals at 7 am US EST.

Jay, call me a fool if you want...but you have earned your reputation as anti American.... and you are supposed to be a so called non biased commentator and you seemed to relish one competitor(Shane) losing.... most people don’t get joy out of someone else losing as you seem to get...wonder why???
Also, i guess you are the end all be all because you know it’s difficult to come back from 3 games down alternate break to another great player.... too bad for you the American did just that.
And for the guy that said jay and Shane are friends and jay is a reason Shane has money or whatever... i would say a real friend would not say what jay did and also i don’t know for sure but i would think that Shane’s 200k+ yearly income is the main reason he is most likely financially stable.
