@John Thomas I wonder who plugged a snooker cue so far up your bottom that it made your words so salty and full of chagrin; did the chalk not do the trick? Why have you come to observe your antithesis to entertainment here? Are you a masochist?
That one where Michaela says "Ah, ooh - sorry" when Ding clipped the pink - always cracks me up! The fact that Ding doesn't react too, just looks so disappointed with his shot... :-D
I agree. It's cos they are working-class people who spend time in regular clubs like normal folk. They aren't a bunch of petulant cheats going him to their mansions to get well away from the fans they despise, like footballers. Footie players are just mercenaries out for themselves. I miss the good old days when players played for their hometown clubs and their native countries!
Jimmy White was my favourite player when I was watching Snooker with my dad. I'd never seen the clip with Fu at the end but do love the sportsmanship there and his good nature hopefully helped the ref for the rest of the game.
Yeah it could easily have been a very uncomfortable couple of minutes for the Ref. if Jimmy had decided to take it any other way than how he did - everybody has a bad day sometimes and Jimmy was all class to acknowledge that.
Michaela was going to say "Fu*ck" not "Foul" and stopped herself half way through as she knew it was a miss and didnt want to put the balls back in their place (and who can blame her)
The best one though was the time (I think during a World Championship) when the ref put all the balls in his briefcase at the end of a match, then picked it up without fastening it.....
Yeah it's adherence to "tradition" for no other reason than being stubborn over tradition. It's done it in so many sports. Referees/officials will spend several minutes in various games trying to get the "call right" via replays, discussion, and other sorts of guess work, often still don't get it right leading to all sorts of errors. The technology exists that can easily and precisely tell you in milliseconds whether a ball crossed a goal/boundary line, what position it was in, what position it's currently in, whether it went over the plate, and etc. This isn't even expensive or complicated technology, in nearly every case it could be done with off the shelf hardware and software.
I mean it isn't a bad idea to test some kind of projector from above that projects an image of the table from above, that would help the referee immensely, he'll know exactly where to place the balls, and double check with the other referee for a perfect table.
Yes, the same system is used for assembly of parts (for example a car). The parts are colour coded and an image is projected onto the workspace, with the worker just having to put the blue piece on the blue projection, the red on the red projection. It makes fitting together a complicated system as easy as a child's colouring book, even someone with no training on the part can assemble it quickly without error the first try.
With modern day technology, there has to be laser pin-pointing from an overhead view, with referees given a tablet to view instead of having to refer to a monitor. Balls all contain a chip embedded deep within ball that doesn't affect anything, so referees can see within a hundredth of a millimetre where balls are meant to go & tablet/software highlights balls as 'Green' (in correct spot) or 'red' (needs adjusted) - then when all balls are marked as green - it's good to go.
I don't think the chips would be needed; as long as the camera(s) are placed correctly they can pin-point the balls anyway as long as the ref steps back after every adjustment.
I always remember one with Desislava (not sure that’s spelt correctly), where Judd Trump was about to take a shot n a wasp is on his back and she shouts ‘WITWITWITWITWAIT!’
If i had a dollar for everytime Mark Williams stole the cue ball in a match with Mark Selby I'd have 2 dollars, which is not a lot but its weird it happened twice
You can tell Mark is actually annoyed but still wants a laugh. If that was Ebdon/O'Sullivan it would be pouts and miserable faces, but Mark tries to cheer himself up with Selby wasting 5 mins by stealing the white :D
The thumbnail of this video looks funny, because just last night a protester jumped onto the table at the crucible and threw orange powder everywhere. The thumbnail is a crazy prediction of the future!
The refs have some funny moments len ganley was the best,i remember a snooker show from the 70s called pro celebrity snooker it was doubles with a pro partnering a celebrity,anyway the comedian kenny williams was trying to take the mickey out of len,and as quick as you like len turned to kenny and said kenny its times like this i wish i was a dog and you were a tree priceless r.i.p len ganley
I think it would be funny if just for a joke one referee had a red card hidden in his or her pocket.and if a player did something like what's been shown in the video. The ref pulled out the red card and showed it to the player ..
11:15 "we all make mistakes" and yet called a different referee (Ben Williams) a 'dimlo' (stupid person) for calling out the wrong nominated ball, then got his knickers in a twist.

The job of a snooker referee is not easy. For your attention - some funny moments with them at the snooker table

what's her name referee woman?

It's good that it was after Ding's shot, and not right under his arm
What did she do wrong?
@@justinmontemayor310 1:45 She reacted vocally as soon as Ding clipped the pink... (ahem..)
@@justinmontemayor310 I thought she sneezed
@@EannaButler to say
This is why I love snooker, as well as refereeing the game to the highest standards, the ref's aren't afraid to have a little laugh either!
I love it how even in pro tournaments they aren't always taking it too seriously
eh. sometimes it's to nervous and make some crazy mistakes
I agree. It's cos they are working-class people who spend time in regular clubs like normal folk. They aren't a bunch of petulant cheats going him to their mansions to get well away from the fans they despise, like footballers. Footie players are just mercenaries out for themselves.

Outstanding sportsmanship from Jimmy is the last clip, absolute class act
Yeah it could easily have been a very uncomfortable couple of minutes for the Ref. if Jimmy had decided to take it any other way than how he did - everybody has a bad day sometimes and Jimmy was all class to acknowledge that.
You got love Michaela, laughing on her own mistakes.
It's why I don't like player's who take themselves too seriously (like he who shall not be o'named) because they undermine the fun of the game.
@@peterclarke7240 good one
We are here for Michaela 😍
hahahaha we miss her, that's for sure
Yeah, let's just admit it.
What are you guys on?
@@michaelschmidt967 on point I'd say.
Yeah she’s hot
I miss Micheala Tabb, she was a really an asset to snooker.
She brought the sexiness to snooker- a really hot lady
@@simonwarner6594 Has she packed it in, she was a Babe.
Yeah, me too
A 4 anywhere outside of bongland
Sexy too.
Not only is Jimmy White one of the greatest snooker players of all time.......he is extremely honest and always shows great sportsmanship
All snooker players do.
How can we NOT love Michaela?
Easily
Totally agree
She is stunning.
Stunning .. and graceful and sexy ❤️
All our love for Miss Snooker , Michaela Tabb !!!
❤️
She was a lovely lady I do miss seeing her on the snooker.
Where is she now??
She died from a cue to the head
Some great referees moments I remember a few of them from the past.👍😁
9:06 maguire showing machaela green spot pure comedy gold
Michaela was going to say "Fu*ck" not "Foul" and stopped herself half way through as she knew it was a miss and didnt want to put the balls back in their place (and who can blame her)
I just laugh every time watching the lady referee say "Oh ah - sorry" when Ding hit the pink
Michaela is totally hilarious 🤣
Michaela Tabb is so likeable
Clearly haven't met her then. She's horrible.
When the referee says bastard under his breath🤣
Jimmy the gent as always 🤓
Having a little fun is important.
0:50 That smile it would cheer anybody up pity she retired
What a very fit lady.
Jimmy going out to "relax", yeah we all know what that means 😂😂
Love you, Michaela Tabb❤️
Mark Williams is a great with refs prancing them seems a good guy
The best one though was the time (I think during a World Championship) when the ref put all the balls in his briefcase at the end of a match, then picked it up without fastening it.....
That final referee refereed his final game there.
They are brilliant to watch.I am sure there
must be non funny moments with the
Referees as well.(It’s all part of the Game).
Даже у рефери иногда бывают забавные моменты в их работе))
Michaela...sigh.....😍😍
Janver Hass is a legend.
Good old Janver Hass!
It's not beyond technology to be able to project an image of the balls' previous positions onto the table......
always thought the same thing,could call it balk eye or chalk eye like wimbledons snooker cousin
ikrr, the technology is out there, there are a lot of projectors who can do the job. They really need to consider these things..
I've been wondering about that since I started watching the game last year. Seems like a simple enough projection to me. Is it tradition, I wonder?
Yes lasers.
Yeah it's adherence to "tradition" for no other reason than being stubborn over tradition. It's done it in so many sports. Referees/officials will spend several minutes in various games trying to get the "call right" via replays, discussion, and other sorts of guess work, often still don't get it right leading to all sorts of errors.

This is where the miss rule is a bit stupid in this situation .
Man there are so many technologies that can be implemented to get balls back at their perfect spots. I don't know why they don't give them a try.
Yes, the same system is used for assembly of parts (for example a car). The parts are colour coded and an image is projected onto the workspace, with the worker just having to put the blue piece on the blue projection, the red on the red projection.

@@leebeardshall2888 The miss rule is stupid 100% of the time, in my opinion.
1:30 this is how my kid points at the ungodly mess he's made

You don't need chips. Imo, it's easier if all balls are monitored through a camera with pin point precision
@@doraemon402 Agreed. The camera can be calibrated for colour recognition and off you go.
Just have a projector over the table with dots and lines. Snooker is so far behind with this kind of thing
I always remember one with Desislava (not sure that’s spelt correctly), where Judd Trump was about to take a shot n a wasp is on his back and she shouts ‘WITWITWITWITWAIT!’
Go down. Go down. Go down. *Bend over!* Bend over.
'Everyone's Doin' the Len Ganley Stance' - only ref who had a song written about himself.
Okeycokey.
. WHAT a refere 👏👏 😘😘😘😘

even refs dont know rules
12.47 even the player involved was bored out of his head
Michaela best ref ever
woooowo its so funny !!!!!!
🐝 9:29 that ref was so brave, no chance would I have grabbed a wasp in my hand. I run away and get my boyfriend to get rid of them 😄
didnt know selby had good sence of humour .great to see lol
They used to call him "The Jester from Leicester".
Good ol' Jimmy Wig.
Now the refs hold the cue ball because Mark Williams would nick it
I'm sorry, the ref laying out the balls wrong used to be a player foul? Glad that rule got changed!
It is an old rule from when it was just a table game and the "referee" was your butler or valet.
Still no beer
3:50 Referee should have asked "Re-rack?"
not the one when willams asked for the pink to be cleaned?
Curious to know the outcome of the Selby Murphy blue situation
5:30 😂😂😂

What exactly Shelby said in 5:53 ??
That female ref is absolutely stunningly breathtaking!!!
👍👏
Girl refs? Why was I not told about this!!
The last one with White-Fu was all in one frame?!! Lmao
Michaella🥰😍
Микаэла, конечно, жжёт! Не хочу никого обидеть, но только женщина может так чудить. За это их и любим)
안녕하세요! 반갑습니다! 좋습니다!!! GOOD!!!

Any older stuff?
My dad is John Street and had a few funny moments....
Michaela was the best ref of all time!
what????

Where is young hendry waving his cue over old refferee?
How good is life when you see this sort of thing
That's exactly what I thought 🙂.

Michaela Tabbs is the hottest female refree snooker ever 🔥
5.12 commontater watching the shower spy cam with ref desislava soaping up!..
...vengo del Futuro...tienen que poner la imagen en el Tapete de la mesa...
I absolutely adore Michaela! Michaela and Hazel Irvine are always as much of a joy to watch as the players and this wonderful game.
Anyone is here for Ben Williams who got stung by a wasp?
Hehe funny video
thanks for the support
Can anybody tell me what happened here? 6:47.
He cannot see a safety shot so went for a 'hit and hope' and fouled by hitting the Black.
I think it would be funny if just for a joke one referee had a red card hidden in his or her pocket.and if a player did something like what's been shown in the video. The ref pulled out the red card and showed it to the player ..
Ronnie O'Sullivan reminds me of a rough version of Orchestral Manoeuvres' Andy McCluskey.
I'm expecting him to do a wide dance any minute 😁.
11:15 "we all make mistakes" and yet called a different referee (Ben Williams) a 'dimlo' (stupid person) for calling out the wrong nominated ball, then got his knickers in a twist.
I met Jan in Koh Samui around 12 years ago where he got banned from the local.......,.....pool hall......... lol
Oh thats how we play the game now?
10:28 Video cassette played on Short Play. Makes ya feel old, doesn't it?
8:39 Where’s the cue ball going???
Ding is always unfortunate 😕 😔
Man, the angle from the stands looks like such a terrible snooker experience.
That girl referee is alright lookin =)
1:42 what's wrong with the foul call there?
I've seen it loads of times when foul is called when the balls are still moving so that can't be it?
Nothing, other than the referee said fuck.
"Ah, ooh - sorry". that's what she said
3:34 what happened here?
Why doesn't Michaela Tabb referee Snooker events anymore?? What a pity.......
She got into a fight with management
Michela bending over the table is absolutely the only reason I'm here
0:30 she cute
Gotta be centre of attention good referee not noticed
6:14 He's fired right?
Who?
:)))
what a handsome refre
When the fuck did referees start looking like that wow lol
Robertson, so gay, so Anglo, so pose 🤔😁.
Gracias por esos momentos, de verdad 1:27
