EXPLAINED: Ronnie o sullivan calls for snooker change after mark selby profits from referee error | Rare Historical Photos

Snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan has called on referees to change their position to stand closer to the action after Mark Selby profited from a referee error in his Northern Ireland Open match against Sam Craigie.

Selby was 2-1 ahead in the best of seven frames match when Craigie hit the white across the table slightly nudging the yellow ball in a successful safety shot. However, with referee Monika Sulkowska stood at the other end of the table behind the Englishman she called a no-hit and foul.

Replays showed that Craigie had completed the shot correctly but Selby still profited from the foul on his way to winning the second round match 4-2.
