On August 26, in the qualifying round of the Snooker Northern Ireland Open, China's Xiao Guodong defeated England veteran Peter Lanes 4-3 to advance to the round of 64.
However, after the game, Xiao Guodong revealed on his personal social media that after he won, in the players' lounge, he was insulted by Reines, and Xiao Guodong had submitted a letter of complaint to the Taiwan Federation (WST).
Xiao Guodong said that After the Lanes Race came to the players' lounge, he "spat out the fragrance" and "broke his mouth" in his ear.
Xiao Guodong also published a screenshot of the complaint letter: Lanes said dirty words in front of the referee, and also threatened Xiao Guodong to fight outside the field - at the scene, Pang Junxu and Slyser witnessed this scene with their own eyes; security personnel also stopped the opponent's further actions on the spot.
You know, this 52-year-old Peter Lanes, who was also elected vice president of the World Snooker Federation in February 2021 , such a snooker world agency official and veteran, was so uncivilized and uncivilized that he even wanted to do something illegal, which made the so-called "British gentleman's movement" Snooker face where to put it?
Billiards, known as the so-called "British gentleman's sport", in which the players, referees dress, behavior, are a traditional British gentleman's appearance; even the audience is very concerned about quiet and civilized, all the atmosphere to create the so-called "British gentlemanly demeanor".
In fact, although billiards is recognized as a "gentleman's sport" by the world, like anything else in the world, there will be exceptions, and there are many "non-gentlemanly behaviors" in snooker sports.
For example, at the Northern Ireland Open on 16 November 2019, when Selby played Higgins, he thought for 6 minutes and 13 seconds before he scored!
This behavior was violently attacked by the British media, believing that Selby only cared about winning or losing, and did not have a gentlemanly demeanor at all! For example, "Rocket" O'Sullivan also said: Selby's approach will make snooker lose its vitality, which should not be the proper behavior of a gentleman.
In other words, the "gentleman's movement" advocated by Snooker should be "to win, to win the wonderful; to lose, but also to lose dashingly".
And at the Snooker World Championship on April 30, 2017, it was also this Selby, who achieved a super point in the final set when he played against Ding Junhui in the final, and after winning the victory, he actually smashed the table with his fist and roared - this is also a lack of gentlemanly demeanor! As a result, Selby was called "Leicester Clown" by fans, which is very telling.
In addition, like in the semi-finals of the 2009 World Snooker Championships, when Murphy was playing against Robertson, Robertson forgot to take the extended pole, and when the referee asked for Murphy's consent, Murphy politely declined. Murphy said, "Why don't we stop the game and have a cup of tea."
There is also the 2004 snooker Grand Prix, it was this Murphy again, against Maguire, Maguire after the referee and opponent Murphy agreed, to get the clever powder he forgot to take, but back in the game, he was still awarded a loss. In the ensuing game, Maguire and Murphy stopped talking and no longer shook hands.
……
In fact, the so-called "British gentlemanly demeanor" is not said to be achieved by all people; nor can it cover all the scope, there will always be exceptions to "non-gentlemanly demeanor" - even, in different historical and cultural environments, the so-called "gentlemanly demeanor" of the So-called British also contains extremely hypocritical elements!
For example, the so-called British gentlemen in history are actually the main force in conquering the world and colonizing the world - when they wield swords and guns to kill the colonized people, this so-called "British gentlemanly demeanor" is actually a great irony, and the ghosts will believe them! 【Original Review: Yu said that hugh】
