Chester™ Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Shouldn't be allowed to question a referee like that imo I think its because of the video replay they have when replacing balls, after being put back in (from what I saw there, it was Higgins that was asking for the replay). Not saying its right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungry hippo Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Quite clear from the replays ref the white and black - no way that black moved and there was no touching ball called I don't think it hit either but if you read the massively divided opinions on social media about it then it's fair to say the replays were inconclusive. The ref had to call it as he saw it and Selby should have no complaints given it was at best debatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
