This was in 1993 I was in the semi finals with Dicky Renk. It was a race to 9 in 9 ball. I am up 8 to 3 and hes shooting. There is a clicking sound coming from 3 tables away. He misses his shot and claims I made the noise and I sharked him. I said dude that sound was someone shooting 3 tables down. He's like I guess that's the only way you can win is by making noise when I'm down on the shot. I ran out shook his hand and said bro I was winning before you heard the noise from a distance. I guess the moral of the story is alot of people need an excuse for losing. Good thread..................
 
Something I hear a lot is when people miss an easy shot.. "hit it too hard". What the hell does that mean? You missed the shot because YOU MISSED THE SHOT! It doesn't matter (usually) how hard you hit it! Makes me want to backhand them. O.K. I feel better now.

I've heard em all over the years, but that guy has something new every time we play! After a while all you can do is laugh your ass off, because he's so stupid:) The worst part is that he plays pretty good, but can't believe he just plain missed! I'm sure we will play this weekend, and I'll have some new ones on monday :)
 
I love this old timeless classic !!!

I hit it too good !!!!!!! when they almost executed i hard shot...lol
 
Player pulls out a coin and tells me to call it. I say, "Tails never fails!"

If it lands tails, I say, "See, I told you. It never fails."

If it lands heads, I yell, "See, I told you! It never fails!" :grin::rolleyes:
 
too funny

Jeff Jiminez at Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln city Oregon, after his team got worked over in the mens master teams event. "Well, we have a pretty good five man team; but four of 'em gotta go" This comment was made in the presence of the whole team, and was very well recieved by all who were there.

If TAR has that match I would just buy it to laugh, funniest/craziest pool excuses I have ever heard in life. :grin:

It's a good 8 ball run, but in NZ, you would not have made it as you had sunk an oponents ball.But very good shooting all the same.
 
I was playing CHEAP CHEAP sets with a friend of mine who was an apa 6 at the time. I was giving him 4 games on the wire in a race to 8. I'm up 6-0 he finally has a decent table and runs to the eight, leaves himself a little funny but I was gonna give it to him anyway but before I can get to the other side of the table he shoots and dogs it and blames me for making him shoot the ball.:cool: He is ill at me for the rest of the night and says he would've beat me if I would've gave him that eight ball....

Actually that can & does happen to everyone at some point. Yes, the shot was missed but a cause occurred that led to the missed effect.
 
I was playing in tournament at Dennis' Place in Springfield, Missouri. I wasnt playing the guy but a pretty strong playing woman was playing a guy, and the race was like to 7 or something like that.

She proceeds to win 3-4 straight on this guy and he gets a shot and misses. He stops over to the table and starts taking off his shoes, yes shoes and socks.

I am watching this whole time and the woman asks what the hell is he doing. By now, everyone in the place is looking over at this guy. He comes back and says "My feet are hot, I just cant play when my feet are this hot." We are like :confused::confused::confused:. I am not sure if it was a shark move or what, but she was shocked and a little miffed.

He does play better with no shoes or socks...:rolleyes:, and did make it a close match, but still ended up losing.

True story, I swear I am not making this up.

Scotty Townsend will tell you, he has never lost a match; just ran out of money a few times!
 
excuses

The moon got in my eye.

Forgot my lucky chalk.

I'm used to playing with older balls.

You just got lucky for four straight hours, again.

I prefer to play for other kinds of cheese...brie, edam, anything but cheddar.
 
These were both said by the same guy...

Upon missing an easy shot "I blinked"

After losing a game "there were too many chalks on the table! messed me up"

If Earl played 3-cushion billiards he'd have a tougher time invoking 3 out of 4 of those excuses...
 
This past summer at the Seminole stop in NC Earl was losing to Corey, and calling Corey's misses lucky because of the leaves. Earl would have no shot. Corey politely agreed with Earl, and as he walking towards his gf, after the macth was over, he commented that they were going have to teach Earl how to be lucky.... lmao.
 
Keith

I'm not sure if they were the first but Buddy Hall and Keith McCready were some of the first to use the measle ball on video. Keith missed a pretty easy shot,

"I think I used the wrong spot!"

Cue

I was practicing by myself last night, missed an easy shot and rolled my cue.
After I did it I thought about this thread
