Bad etiquette from Ebbo and he would not do that to other pros who would give him an earful.
that really is poor stuff from him
It's all part of the psychology of top level sport. If Zhang lets something like that get to him, he is in the wrong profession im afraid.

I'd argue what Ebdon did was worse.
A football team who walks off five minutes to go, is only harming people involved in that football club. This would count as forfeiting the game, and the opposing team would be awarded the match.
Peter Ebdon is attempting to bully a younger play, and rile him up. It's not psychology, it's bullying. And it says something about Ebdon's confidence in winning, if he has to pull stupid stunts like this in an attempt to gain an advantage.
Hopefully he'll be fined.
