Clueless referee causes snooker player to miss #shorts #snooker #pool
In snooker, so as not to distract the player, the referee should always wait until the ball is potted before moving to re-spot it. Also, he should not be standing in the player's peripheral vision but behind him. These are not written rules or anything. They are just proper unspoken and unwritten refereeing etiquette that most referees seem to understand, including this referee (Rob Spencer). Rob is usually 'well-behaved' for the big televised matches with the large audiences but for some reason, in these low-key qualifying matches with no audience he can be 'less than perfect '.. ----------------------------------------------It's hard to see the 'full picture' here. In the original wide-screen video you can see the player's reaction and he indicates that the referee did indeed put him off. That video is up on my channel as well. It has the same title as this short: "Clueless referee causes snooker player to miss".
