Northern Ireland Open Qualifiers 2021

Apparently a Security Guard stepped in to prevent any further issues .

Will be interesting to see if it's just a storm in a teacup or if there will be some form of fine or ban .

Did they play each other and this happened or was it away from the table ?
Snooker needs a bit more of this stuff to liven things up a bit and to create more rivalries .

Supposedly it was about a replaced ball incorrectly during the match and then words in the players' lounge.
After reading the articles, why did Xiao make a compliant to WCBS? They are the non-professional arm of the CueSports committee?

After the match , i'm not sure Snooker needs this kind of rivalry though . Threats of violence would be a serious offence .

[Nifty50]

Bit surprising. They both come across as being nice lads. Scrapping outside is just childish and moronic.

[fkhan]

Is Peter anything like that in real life? Any such examples that people here have witnessed or learned of earlier?

Thanks Neil , I was only having a bit a joke which could possibly have been in bad taste

That is strange Dean, thanks for the info and link .

Personally I don’t mind seeing a bit of disagreement between players as it adds something to when they play in the future.
As Neil pointed out elsewhere maybe threatening physical violence is a bit too far .

"As Neil pointed out elsewhere maybe threatening physical violence is a bit too far" Alex Higgins threatened Dennis Taylor with having
him shot !

While playing in the same team

While playing in the same team

Yes I remember that Taylor wanted to play the last frame and Higgins disagreed ,this had been boiling over before the event when Taylor got the captaincy.Unfortunately for Alex he would always be in the wrong due to his previous exploits ,so he was always on a hiding to nothing even if he was right .Think they played at the Irish masters soon after ,that split the crowd Right down the middle .What a grudge match ,bit like Allen and Evans ,snooker needs these tiffs ,it sometimes seems so sterile these days .

[balkend]

Yeah , all good plot lines need a few villains true enough , snooker needs characters too i.e. Mark Williams when he is in the mood to have a bit of a laugh

[Cue crafty]

Taylor should have thanked him, it made him more interesting.

Taylor should have thanked him, it made him more interesting.

it certainly did ,now we know Alex was the cause of most of the trouble in his time ,but Taylor was not always the loveable gent he made out to be ,I remember the interview at Goffs in Ireland before the match ,Dennis said Alex said some terrible things about his mother too in that I’ll have you shot statement ,but he said I don’t want to go in to it ,then why mention it ? Anyway snooker needs more controversial moments ,be great to see Quinton Hann back ,that guy was a seriously disturbed full on mental case
