*** Mosconi Cup 2015 Updates Thread ***

Ken made a mistake, admitted it and tried to correct it. Karl was behaving like a spoiled little brat...

Karl very carefully placed the ball in that gap, controlling his nerves to ensure he did not touch an object ball, and Ken called a foul because Karl placed the cueball where he wanted to place it with ball in hand.

After Ken realizes he screwed up he then tells Karl that Karl now need to carefully grab the cueball out of that gap, and then re-place it in the gap yet again, without touching an object ball or it is going to be a foul.

Karl had a reason to be pissed off about that. In the removal of the cueball and re-placement of it back into that gap Ken absolutely would have called a foul if Karl accidently touched a ball placing the cueball into that gap for the second time.

That was amateur hour referee work right there from start to finish.

Except Ken told him that he would pick the CB up for him.
 
Sky shoots straight, no doubt about it. But he made a lot of bad or rush decision. That's unfortunate :(
Also bad luck for him Carl played the best pool I've ever seen him play.
 
Europe wins tonight's session, being 6-3 in the lead and looks to close it with a 7-3 with our last doubles match!

Karl has shown greatness year after year. Short race to five, you have to expect to lose if you don't play perfectly. Of course we've seen some shoddy play from both sides, and the skids and flukes have been absolutely brutal. But Karl has been playing pretty well, regardless of how he's rubbing fans the wrong way.
 
Tough loss. I think if Skyler had locked up that safe on the six he had it. It's a game of inches and in that case pubic hairs. Kid has so much potential, Boyes played nearly perfect
 
dang, boyes played pretty good... skyler seemed to have rushed a few shots towards the end i think, should've called an extension or 2 imo...
 
I'd like a moment to address the intro music. This wasn't any good in 2003 when it came out.
 
Why is Ken putting away Boyes jump cue for him?

Yeah I noticed that too. Ken is really out of it right now, from the lag call and then re-lag, to calling a foul for something that was clearly not a foul, to telling Karl he has to pick it back up and re-place it. WTF is wrong with him?
