Mark King BANNED from World Snooker (Footage of the shots missed during his 4-0 loss to Joe Perry)

[dora]

I play shots like that on a regular basis, nobody has ever accused me.

[hotstepper]

The amount of chances he left Joe Perry, yet, was still able to come back to the table, should see Perry banned also. LOL

[corbeify]

I really don't think Mark King needed to cheat or throw games he was bad enough even when he played legitimately

[vinstar]

Bagpuss Higgins should have been banned too

[loosemink]

Banned pending an enquiry?
Shouldn't the headline be suspended??

[Rabid-Pinocchio]

For me a more telling issue is not that he missed those shots. What is more suspicious to me is that on all of those misses he did not even attempt to play position. If he was trying to make those shots he easily could have positioned the Cue-ball in an optimum position but he just took a whack at the shots, seeming to be playing them, but the cue-ball is just willy-nilly with respect to position. That to me is far more damning.

If shot 12 was deliberate, then he's a genius for judging the cannon.

[KLC]

Great, another snooker channel with an AI bot for a commentator

[ericmilligan]

His misses are closer than I’ll ever get.

[Tai]

The way he is missing the shots is the same level of Muhammad Amir's no balls in the cricket spot fixing scandal.

[NoTimeForCheats-pglu]

amazing how many behavioural psychologists and snooker experts are posting comments on this...

[memyselfandi]

That would be classed as some of the greatest snooker I ever played.

[williamgeorge]

The boy that becel best recently could also be banned for throwing the game as he was so far ahead and brecel just suddenly wins 11 frames ina. Row and thr boy was missing everything

[jacky_]

Can't even chest properly, he misses lots of these by miles. These lads are razor sharp they would pot everything in practice and rarely miss

[dnn]

It looks like he's pretending to be annoyed at missing these pots, but the truth is he bet on himself to win

[Thejoker-mxhq]

If your gonna pull a fast one at least make it look half believable!!!

[theknowledgewithin]

That was one of the most obvious atempts to loose a game ive seen.

[raskolnjikov]

You can see it in his eyes he´s into heavy drinking and betting

[mommademe]

Un fair! Could only see an un balanced un shaved mark king rather than a villain! Keep him on we want him on!

[robinanderson]

YES! John Higgins should have been thrown out of the game many years ago got caught taking a bribe for match fixing, but only got a slap on the wrist and a paltry fine, different rules for the top of tree players. R.
