Yapp winning, with a foul! Just like Maradona making a goal with his hands :D

Wonder what Yapp and Gorst or anybody that was there thinks.

They're thinking the same thing everyone already knows. It was a foul, Gorst would have cleaned up the last three balls with ball in hand, and then he would have been breaking on the hill.

I'm far from convinced there was contact. There might have been a double cue ball hit but those don't count lol. :ROFLMAO:
 
The amount of movement is so small that I’m leaning towards “rocking in a divot.” I think brushing the 9 with the cue, even extremely subtly/slightly, would cause more movement than that.
If a ball settles in a divot it settles in a different spot, not return to the same location.
 
this was only seen with super slo-mo. yapp never felt/saw it and neither did a ref. if you go back and hyper analyze sports over the years you'll find hundreds of instances like this.
I saw it on the highlight reel, slo-mo not needed. There’s rest of your post I agree with
 
Didn't have to zoom in. It is as plain as day. I don't believe he felt it though. And for the ref to miss it in real time is partly understandable.
 
I've watched it a few times and I can't come to a conclusion in my own mind. From some views/videos, it looks like a clear foul, from others it doesn't - depends on the angle, speed of the video that I'm watching etc. It's going to continue to be controversial I'm sure, but it's done, the tournament is over and the title's been awarded - everything else is a moot point.

i just re-watched in and i couldn't see it full speed and barely at 1/2speed. If it moved AY didn't feel it otherwise he'd have called it on himself. Even for a ref to have seen that micro-wiggle he'd have to have had the perfect angle. And perfect vision.

Yapp probably didn't feel it, but the ref should have seen it. Even in our barely HD streaming video you can see it. Direct human vision is way better than that, even better than 4K or 8K. We've all watched similar shots in person. He was either out of position or looking where he shouldn't have been.
