Ding v Davis - UK Championship 2008 - forced retake hell

[muneeb90]

This is injustice for referee lol

[DonHanzo]

im not pleased by davis' sportsmanship

he's been in the game for this long or maybe he's just getting old.. but I'm sure I've seen a better attitude from him many a time before. What about his fun match against Ronnie Osullivan where davis continuosly did the conservative break for 6 consecutive frames and didnt get anywhere. Ronnie played fantastically. On the other hand look at Dings eye twitch loll

[nitesec]

ding look ugly

[thecomo]

i dont get whats happening? someone clue me in

[vertigotourinbrussel]

Davis is snookered and has to try to touch a red first. Everytime he makes a mistake (not hitting a red), Ding can have a look if he can play from where the cueball finished after Davis' faul. If Ding thinks the shot is to difficult to play, he can let Davis play his shot again. That's why the referee has to put the balls back into the same position). In most clubs, a situation like this, Ding would say to Davis : ok, play the shot from where the cueball has finished just after the faul.

snooker at its worst

lol

steve davis is a living legend

[ImFrEaK470]

look at ding's eye at 1.25-1.28 .xD

[russelltrigger]

Its not like a pro referee making a mistake over a free ball, i felt slightly sorry for him!!

Top clip, Mr Steve Davis is a flaming legend!

[Vidlaste]

I just love the way Ding smiles when he tells the ref to put them back :D

[dingandronnie]

fuk up u ...ding has a right to put the balls back...every other player wud hav done the same so dont say it was unsporting

[YouaresoCrap]

thats correct every frame counts damn it they are pros anyway

[spacecowboy006]

it is a silly rule...........

also it's unsporting for ding to make the ref set it up again

[GFAEC]

Steve is a great character to watch. I'm impressed that he handles going to Prestatyn so well and getting into the TV stages. One would assume it takes a lot of heart to do that at his age and with such a career behind him.

[CornishStrayCat]

I've always thought it's a silly rule.

[useroftheyear01]

...and should have won the whole damn match!!!!

[LoafOfPint]

And yet he won the frame.
