Mosconi commentators and refs

[BeiberLvr]

I thought the ref did a fine job. His "mistake" by calling the foul for "measuring" was completely understandable...it is a rule.

But he had the courage to quickly correct himself, and took the time to explain the situation in detail to both captains...who had no problem with how it was handled.

On the other hand when he tried to explain his error to Boyes, Karl turned into a child, pleading to the crowd, when he should have been listening to the ref.

By the way, I enjoyed this year's event more than any in a while. Very little complaining, no insults, no excuses. I like the US team...they showed more maturity than previous teams. IMO the match was closer than the final score

...and I really enjoy watching Skyler play. Very sound mechanically, great shot selection for someone his age, and his attitude was quite refreshing.

Great shot selection, except for that bank on the 1 in his last match against Albin.

I thought the commentating from all commentators was first class. Jim Wych, Jerry Forsyth and Jay Helford keep it up! Great job. No ones perfect and there are always a few mistakes especially on live tv but these guys are experienced and have been around pool their whole lives so I doubt very much whether there is anybody better out there. Very entertaining Mosconi Cup. Big thankyou guys!

Thanks for this! It's nice to hear some positive remarks instead of so much negativity on here.

Agree 100%

Is it just me or does Jerry sound like Mel Allen? This is meant as a compliment.

Jerry Forsyth and the other momo - please quit. Do your stakehorsing but stay away from the commentators box. You guys are atrocious. I say this with all the love in the world. The only person who needs to commentate is Jim Wych and maybe someone else with a clue. I dont want to hear you try to predict the next move or remind me how tight the pockets are or anything else coming out of your yapper.

Ken, you can't ref. Last year you forgot to put the 9 ball in the middle during a Boyes break. This year you call a foul then take it back on Boyes measuring with CB. Then you call foul on Skylar's lag online to take it back. Stay away from the commentators box as well. Your mouth is always unbearably dry.

You guys are not a PLUS to the event.

PS

Again, Jim Wych is complete class.

Guess you never made a mistake bravo

I like the commentary. There was a lot of knowledge in the booth. Thank you. For those complaining, try sitting in the booth. It is not as easy as it seems.

I will bet these guys are doing it for the love of the game and not the money. You all should be thanking them also, and pay attention as you just might learn something.

Placing the cue ball again while the referee's back was turned should have earned him another foul. Possibly loss of game for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Excellent points!
