    Tis a bit confusing Paulio when you dont put the opposition every post. Dont mean to split hairs as you do a great job updating just prefer it :)

    Didnt think it would be confusing with only 1 matcb at a time lol, sometimes its easy just to type who won the frame and the score rather than both players and as I say as there is only 1 match on at a time I thought it would be easy to know who was playing

    Ronnie just had an arguement with Allen about moving on his shot, ref even said to Allen I know you didnt do anything wrong, but Ronnie just wouldn't let it go, went right over to were Allen was sitting



    38 seconds in is very telling as the ref actually says to Allen, I know you didnt do anything

    A new spin on this, i know we discussed it at the time last night. 

    I have sent a tweet to Paulie, basically someone else has recorded footage of a shot where Ronnie is at the bottom end of the table and clearly shows Allen has been given time to go back to his seat/ corner but was standing in semi view.

    Tweet here :https://twitter.com/OOCSnooker/status/1324619622163906560


    I agree that the initial reaction was over the top and childish, however they showed a replay last night where he clearly asks Mark Allen to sit down which he said no. The interview after he said he tried taking over a minute on shots so Allen got the message but as it continued he had to say something, for the record Ronnie did say he only noticed it once he was 3-2 up.  

    I personally dont feel Allen would have done this deliberate and initially it looked like a bit of banter which went a bit far, which clearly the ref was saying to move on and he didn't notice anything. I do not think all refs pay attention to the courtesy between opponents, although if it was clear as day he might have noticed but its not really there job unless its clear and obvious and gets out of hand.

    So yes, i still think Ronnie was OTT and Allen didn't man it, but its justified there is proof on twitter to show it was happening and clear as day where Allen had no reason to stand in the green area spot when should be sitting down or in his corner at least. 

    It wasn't quite Jamie Clarke v Mcgill, was all very bizarre and i had to watch back a few times after and get his interview.

    Only just seen this as I have been busy, I wont say much as we wont agree and you will say I am just anti Ronnie despite the fact I said yesterday if any player did the same I would be saying the exact same.

    All I will say is how many times during a safety exchange have you seen players stand at the bulk end rather than go back to their seat, I could show a million videos were every player on tour has done it at some stage(including Ronnie)

    I'm a bit mixed on this. Allen probably should have sat down but he knew O'Sullivan had to play safe, therefore only one shot, in which case I can see why he stayed standing. In the McGill match the ref told Clarke that he should always sit down, so if that is the rule then Allen should know that. I thought Ronnie made too much of it and went on too long.
