Ronnie O’Sullivan claims some referees ‘influenced me’ after blackspot incident against Stuart Bingham

Ronnie O’Sullivan has slammed those involved over the controversial incident during his World Snooker Championship quarter-final match against Stuart Bingham.

But the biggest story came in the 12th frame. At this time, referee Digislava Bozilova tried to re-spot Black, but Black continued to roll.

O’Sullivan was convinced the ball was in the wrong place. That means he didn’t have a pass to pot the red he was playing.

After asking for a black player to be re-spotted, Lockett objected to the pot, citing his “principles.”

“I think some of the referees have an understanding with me,” he told Eurosport exclusively. “So I just want to prove her wrong.

“It didn’t feel good to have to pot the ball after that, but I just want to get the point across, and the point was earned.

“I don’t really have a desire to win that way. I’m more of a principled person. So the principles were created. It helps me sleep at night.”

Rocket ultimately lost the frame and the marathon lasted 47 minutes, finishing 8-8 after two sessions.

He is aiming for his eighth title, one more than Stephen Hendry.

Former champions Mark Williams, Shaun Murphy and Luca Bressel, who won the title last year, also withdrew from the Crucible early.

In fact, The Rocket is the only one of the top 10 players in the world who is still participating in this event.

He also claimed that it didn’t bother him that there was less than two hours between the afternoon session against Bingham and the evening session, saying: “It doesn’t matter, it’s just a normal day for me. I played a bit of snooker. ,” he added. Eat your food and relax. ”

Speaking of the incident, Eurosport pundit Alan McManus believes O’Sullivan made the right decision not to run into the red.

“Ronnie’s sportsmanship is exemplary and always has been,” he said. “He’s taking safety shots there.

“But what referees have to do is never worry about what the players are thinking, what they’re seeing, what they’re feeling. They can discuss it themselves and our He takes out the ball markers, but he doesn’t notice that they overlap.

“You don’t need the ball to see if it’s going to spot. You use the width of the ball marker. And you find a way to spot the ball because you know for certain that it’s going to spot. That’s the key.”

“Once we know whether that’s going to happen or not, we can say to the players, ‘Look, we measured it in the middle of the cross,’ because there’s an indentation and the ball rolls in.”It’s been spotted 312 times in the last few days. .

“It’s not an easy job. It’s all about how you do it. Some of it is complicated, but look at it with a marker. That’s the first thing. Find the best way to do it on the fly.”

Jimmy White further added, “When Ron first potted the black, he thought he was on the red and asked to respot the ball. She respotted the ball and he could pot some more. I’ve come to a point.” [but] He still doesn’t believe she’s putting it right on the spot, so what happens, eventually it’s done on the spot and Ronnie is able to pot it.

“But he doesn’t. He goes to Stuart Bingham, and Stuart Bingham says, ‘Ron, I believe whatever you say.’
