What does the referee say?

[SquaredCue]

Inspired by the overwhelming popularity of the How many balls on the snooker table... post, here is another question and exercise:

All the colours but the black are on their spots. The black is on the baulk line, touching the brown side of the yellow. The last red is being pocketed but the white ball is falling in the pocket as well. What does the referee say after the shot?

The table just before pocketing the last red ball

If you are not sure about the answer, set up this situation in SnookerQ and try it.
If you are sure you know the correct answer, please set up this situation in SnookerQ and try it. You may be surprised.
If you know the rules as thoroughly as Desislava Bozhilova and other pro referees, welcome to SnookerQ!

GLHF!

Foul and free ball?

[SquaredCue]

Hi Dan,

Based on the question mark in your post, I think you are not absolutely sure about it. So, go ahead, set it up in SnookerQ practice mode and try the shot, then listen to the referee.

Hint: You can remove balls from the table after /del command, and you can add a new red to the table by pressing Alt-1. You can move balls around when the "move" icon is unlocked.

white is meant to be within the D, but it says only ' Foul ' on practice the answer should be 'Foul' Freeball in a match game.

@edje: I think I understand what you meant.
@Origin: Trust the built-in referee.
