Jimmy White insists he has 'no regrets' over ref row after furious on-table bust-up

Jimmy White has argued was right to be annoyed at the behaviour of referee Ben Williams, who gave him a warning during the Northern Ireland Open, and insists he has 'no regrets' over their bust-up.

The snooker stalwart, aged 60, has been a professional for 42 years but is as competitive as ever and was left furious with the attitude of referee Williams during his 4-0 defeat by Luca Brecel. The bust-up happened in the fourth frame when White nominated the brown ball, only for Williams to mistakenly call 'blue ball'.

Williams then gave a chuckle causing White to snap 'What's funny about that?' before appearing to raise his hand towards the official.
