He did not hear Earl call the shot, he only knew that Earl was obviously shooting the 10ball.

Firstly, you're assuming he would have gone on to win, secondly, you are putting a mistake by the other player on Shaw's plate, ridiculous. Then, to compliment Shaw on his sportsmanship in the next paragraph is the most hypocritical thing the writer could do.<br /><br />A player should accept their mistake, especially when they've been called on the same mistake not 30 mins earlier in the same match and the fact there is no official ref should make no difference to this. Just over a year ago, I witnessed Earl insult with profanity, a 15yr old opponent in Germany which not only should have seen him ejected from the tournament, but it also eliminated all benefit of the doubt when it comes to the dramas surrounding him.

Another astonishing occurrence is that the tournament director never bothered to ask Earl what ball did he call. Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15870452192914640660noreply@blogger.com
