“The referee in the first-round match between Muhammad Asif and Robbie McGuigan at the Northern Ireland Open made a bizarre error in the fifth frame, picking up the cue ball by mistake while it was still moving. McGuigan, a local teenager, was at the table when the incident occurred and had just potted the pink as he closed in on victory, before the referee briefly halted his progress.”
