Here we see ungentlemanly behaviour by the young Chinese snooker player Si Jiahui in a recent Scottish Open qualifier. He put the referee under unnecessary pressure to re-spot the pink quicky by getting down on his next shot too early.To all referees that this happens to, my advice would be as follows: Take your time respotting the colour and as you finish just leave your finger on it for an extra couple of seconds. Hopefully he takes his next shot and you can call foul and teach him a lesson.In this example, there was no need for the player to behave in such a fashion. Colin Humphreys (the referee) had been doing his job perfectly adequately all match. This young boy was just being rude.To Si Jiahui I would say: Snooker is a gentleman's game played by gentlemen. Please try harder young sir.
