John Virgo fumes at two World Snooker Championship stars – ‘That is farcical’

John Virgo was left seething after the opening frame of the night between Mark Williams and Hossein Vafaei required a re-rack. The pair started the evening session locked at 4-4, with the Iranian taking an early 20-10 lead.
Earlier in the frame, Williams scattered the reds, leaving some in unfavourable potting positions. A dour period of safety play followed, with the stalemate continuing for almost an hour. Eventually, both players then agreed to restart the frame, prompting groans from some spectators.
