The Snooker World Championships have reached the final, with "Rocket" O'Sullivan playing against Trump. After the first two stages of the 35-innings and 18-win matches, O'Sullivan has built a 12-5 lead to head towards his seventh World Championship title.
O'Sullivan and referee Martel
Surprisingly, there was a slur between players and referees in snooker. At the time of the game in The Eighth Inning, referee Olivier Marteel believed O'Sullivan had made an uncivilized gesture.
At that time, O'Sullivan was sent off a lot of points because he could not get rid of the snooker made by Trump, and his mood was anxious. The temper of "Rocket" is also well known. He immediately said that the referee should look back at the video and pointed at the other person and said, "Looking for trouble." ”
Trump then won the eighth inning, but he wasn't too happy with the referee because he felt he was about to win the game. Subsequently, at the end of the first stage of the match, O'Sullivan only touched Trump's fist, but refused to touch the referee.

O'Sullivan later said in an interview: "The referee seems to be looking for trouble, there are hundreds of cameras here. I wouldn't take those accusations, he just wanted to do something. ”
In the third inning of the final, O'Sullivan complained that match security interfered with sight. In the fourth set, he had a long argument with the referee over the placement of the mother ball, and at one point said that the referee Martel should play the ball himself.

The World Federation of Taiwan is currently investigating another allegation about O'Sullivan. In the 13th inning of the 10-5 win over Gilbert in the first round of the World Championships, O'Sullivan was accused of making uncivilized gestures.
Despite the conflict with the referee, at the beginning of the second stage of the match, O'Sullivan still collided with the referee Martel.
