Pool star Jayson Shaw was involved in a heated exchange with a fan at Alexandra Palace during the Mosconi Cup on Wednesday. The 37-year-old Scot, captaining Team Europe, appeared to offer to fight the spectator after securing a 5-2 victory over Skyler Woodward.
Matchroom Pool cameras captured Shaw making a lewd gesture and mouthing an expletive at the fan. He then pointed his cue and finger, saying: “Watch, watch, watch, watch, wait until you go outside.” The commentator noted: “Now someone really has upset Jayson Shaw here.”
The camera showed a man pumping his arms in celebration in the stands, while another fan ate a meal. Team USA captain Woodward watched with a smile. Shaw later approached Fedor Gorst to complain, receiving a pat on the back. The co-commentator suggested the fan was a friend of Gorst's.
Team Europe went on to win the final match of the night, taking a 4-0 lead. Shaw, a former snooker player, told The Sun last year he was once kicked out of a snooker club after a fight, which led him to focus on pool.
