Ronnie O'Sullivan calls for snooker change after Mark Selby profits from referee error

Snooker legend Ronnie O'Sullivan has called on referees to change their position to stand closer to the action after Mark Selby profited from a referee error in his Northern Ireland Open match against Sam Craigie.

Selby was 2-1 ahead in the best of seven frames match when Craigie hit the white across the table slightly nudging the yellow ball in a successful safety shot. However, with referee Monika Sulkowska stood at the other end of the table behind the Englishman she called a no-hit and foul.

Replays showed that Craigie had completed the shot correctly but Selby still profited from the foul on his way to winning the second round match 4-2.
