i like ken doherty so much,he is a very good player and also so decent even when he is under pressure,i saw a video for him that he missed the black in a 147 he didnt get angry he knows its only a game or a sport he has a good spirit
in a weird kind of way, it was a lucky safety shot. you have one red on the top cushion and a bunch of reds not really going anywhere, Selby has to take his next shot from in the D so it was a lucky way of getting a safety battle up and running
@xELxSOBREVIVIENTEx Also, just as a further comment, the minimum you can award on a foul is four points. So if you are going for the yellow and you go in-off, you give four points away, not 2. Same principle for the green.
yeah i know that a min foul is 4, i just thught how he got 6 in this shot but i forgot that its obvious that he just hat a break of 6 before and then he fouled 5 cause of blue ;)
On a serious note though could that not have been called a miss as well? as he has a little advantage from actually potting the white there. I dunno i just have a few drinks and play now and then, perhaps theres a rule or reason a miss could not have been called.
He gave 5 because he potted the blue which is worth 5 points. In this case, potting the yellow and white doesn't affect the amount of points he gave up. Only the highest potted ball is taken into account.
Example: You're on the black, you pot the black and then for some reason you manage to fluke the pink in during the same shot. You therefore give out 7 points to your opponent.
lol Would have said the same thing Doherty! haha Still, great shot, even though it wasn't quite what you intended!

On these occasions the sensible thing to do is peel away from the table, arm outstretched like Alan Shearer and shout "yes." Perhaps do a lap.

@CarpMagic95 His nominated ball was the blue and he hit it, so it can't be called a miss.

he's got a sense of humor even when things don't do well for him. He's a great player as well
Nice video, very unlucky to catch the yellow and pot it, thus making an in-off as well... It's funny, though :D
