I guess it's good experience for the young opponent.
Yes
i heard the noise but did not see anything
he was “composed “ as he shook the winners hand and left the arena
I think we can agree to disagree
But oh my God was not horrible based on what happened in him, recognizing it cost him the match
He stayed in his chair, although did squirm a little
Got up and politely shook the guy‘s hand and left
What happens out of the arena is a whole separate discussion to me
He was pissed. He lost on a fluke
And released his anger
A bit excessive for sure
Compared to some of Earl’s meltdowns
Fairly weak
Jmho

Selt was just fined about $25,000 for his behaviour in a tournament last September.
The lack of a 'no rail' rule and allowing 'slop' really takes a lot of shine off snooker imo. These guys are great no doubt but those rules are chicken-shit. I'd be pissed to, playing for a living and have some nit shit a ball in to win. Breaking furniture would be just a warm-up for me.
hefty fine for a journeyman. he probably can't control his aggression / behavior. some year ago he qualified for the worlds or UK championship and kept swearing between every shot. it was funny but also seemed involuntary / tourettes like
get over it

Send him to the WNT, pool could use a new Earl. Tired of the robots.
there may be something to this. we have henny though, and everytime i watch his antics it gets old pretty quick. but for the general public it's probably interesting with these kind of angry people in sports
mcenroe probably did a lot for tennis
You would have loved the snooker rules in one of our local pool rooms. Pink was racked at apex of the triangle. Red was in front of the pink. No soft breaks allowed. Call all shots and kicks and banks. No combination shots and ball must be pocketed clean. Must hit a rail after contact with called ball. The worst part was if you commit a foul you lose all points you had on that break, plus lose 4 more points. I will admit that playing like this made me a much better at bank and kick shots.
Sadly, we don’t play there anymore because the houseman’s health is deteriorating. I’ve got a snooker table at home but we don’t play like that. We do play have to contact a rail.
I've played snooker like that, too. At least 50 years ago.
I guess most places I play use American Snooker rules for the most part. I like playing on 10 foot snooker tables and I have one at home. We also play a lot on 9 foot tables. Not many 12 foot tables in Alabama! But, I want one! Saving up for a boat at the moment.
