    Just watching the Trump Bingham match, Judd apologises for fluking a shot, earlier Jack Lisowski calls a fpul on himself. Can you imagine it in football!?

    We’ve been needing snookers most of the season

    Has happened. On a few occasions.
    Robbie Fowler told the ref he wasn't fouled after he gave a penalty against Arsenal. Ref changed his decision.
    Snooker players do have a code of honesty in general.

    Contrary to his popular image, Di Canio catching the ball when the Everton goalkeeper was injured instead of netting it. Incredible sportsmanship

    The referee didn't change his decision. Fowler took the resultant penalty, Seaman saved it, but McAteer scored with the rebound.

    That's how I remember it. Was having a beer watching it at Centreparcs. Fowler took a weak penalty so Seaman would save it but didn't bank on his mate scoring the rebound.

    Didn’t stop him celebrating with the rest of the team though.

    Remember that. Fowler wanted Seaman to save it but the clumsy apath wasn't on the same wave length and parried it. Once it was parried it was fair game.
