I have no view that would "allow me to not pay attention" and in essence cheat.
Jason
It's not your view that if someone doesn't see the foul they are not responsible for letting their opponent know that they fouled?

Twisting words aren't we?
Jason
She told you she saw the foul?
I think this is pretty sick, everybody accusing her with no proof she saw it.
Do you think if she did see the foul that she had an obligation to tell LJH that she fouled?
IMHO - yes.
It's even worse than that. "Probly" some disgruntled out of work refs aimed laser pointers into their eyes, disorienting them briefly enough to miss the foul.
Hell hath no fury like an unemployed pool referee in the stands at an unref'd hill-hill game.
I don't think your laser sighting is on, to be a ref you cannot be unemployed but what ever i don't expect any real responses from the banger crowd. See u in the peanut gallery. You joke about the state of pool and i don't find it funny. If u play me one pocket for $200.00 u can tell jokes till yer blue in the face, u would walk lighter - I promise. Konee-chi-wha?
No. It seems pretty clear from these posts that you think that if a player does see the foul that they have an obligation to tell their opponent that they fouled, but if they didn't see the foul then they do not.
Aren't you implying here that if she didn't see the foul then she did nothing wrong?
If you dont see it how the F can you call it? How f'ing hard is that to understand?
Jason
Just because you can't call it doesn't mean you weren't responsible for knowing whether or not you fouled.

Wtf does that even mean? I'm about sick of you.
Jason
It means that in a situation like JB's even if she wasn't aware that she had fouled I think she was still responsible for knowing that she had fouled.
If a cop pulls you over for speeding and you say, "I didn't know I was speeding," that doesn't get you off the hook.
Anyway, I'm tired of explaining things to you so don't bother responding.
I'm hoping that you are just acting dense.
Jason<----last word
So you don't mind if I crouch down right behind you on every one of your shots to make sure you don't accidently tap the cue ball with your tip on a practice stroke? And if it's ok, I'm going to stand right up next to the table (instead of respectfully in my chair) and police every one of your shots for the slightest hint of a foul. Is that cool? But don't worry, I realize pool was originally termed "a Gentleman's game" by Royals and I have more class, honesty and respect for my opponent than you obviously so feel free to just sit back, relax and have no worries. I don't need to win that way and will ALWAYS and forever call fouls on myself. The Pool Gods love it!
If she didnt see it, how can she call it. She hit it plenty hard.
I was sitting right there and didnt see it.
It was hill hill, and a long safety battle, she hit the ball plenty hard to not have to even think about a rail. I wouldnt be so quick to judge - now if you already hate her, go ahead and keep badmouthing her.
Jason
Obviously, sitting on the sideline, you won't always be able to detect a foul, but anything that is close, you can simply ask the shooting player if it was a foul. If that player then lies, well that would be considered cheating.
As long as folks apologize for cheating pool will remain sleazy.
Zero possibility she was unaware of her foul. Her body language said it all.
JC
What make pool sleazy is all the people accusing somebody with no proof. Carry on
Jason
Proof? lol there’s a video of every second of it.
Why do the same players names come up repeatedly when the subject of ethics in pool surface?
