In the following and prior shot, is there a cushion rule or something? Why go all around the table with it?
Lawrence Porter8 aylar önce
@Triggerhawk I think in the previous shot Willie Thorne was trying to play safe and messed it up. Jimmy's second shot was purely exhibition.

Thank you for this perfect compilation! That's the way why we`re in love with snooker! I couldn't stop laughing until Ronnie shaked some hands. This was the most impressive situation I've ever seen! Ronnie was, is, and will be the most gifted player ever - genius and madness. Without some psychological problems, there were 10-15 Championships and more than 100 Major-titles.... Dumb-ass-people will never know, what it takes to be depressiv 🤔

I'm not at all sure Ronnie has/had "psychological problems". He just has the highest of standards, and when he is not satisfied with himself, he doesn't let himself off the hook.

That Ronnie one vs. Selby in protest of the ''miss rule'' 🤣 lol. Loved that one vs. Walden aswel 😍 ps., think its a mistake for BBC to let John Virgo (JV) go after this 2023 World Championship personally 🙃 the guy brings pure emotion to the commentary 🥰 btw does anybody actually know ''Where that cueball is going'' !! ... @? 🤣 haha classic JV 😊🤏

One of the reasons I could never warm to him, his antics, even though, without doubt, the greatest of all time for me, super player
Aaron Yarnold3 yıl önce
I think this was Ronnie's protest around the rule. The foul and a miss rule was introduced as a way to stop professionals from intentionally missing snookers in a way that would result in safety, it was never meant to reward good snookers with 40+ points in fouls. Where a player is genuinely just trying to hit the ball, my belief is that a foul and a miss shouldn't be called, although determining that can be hard. This rule has completely baffled amateur players in Clubs everywhere, and alot of clubs have introduced variations now.
Elkay Loo2 yıl önce
Jimmy white stop the white ball is absolutely legend
Garrick2 yıl önce
The most WTF moments for me involved the miss rule. You can tell I have not watched snooker for many years because many clips (not just in this video) focus on players missing and having to retake the shot. I remember that did happen when I watched snooker but it was rare. Here, you can see frustration on the faces of players who have landed in a near impossible situation and cannot get out. Sure, they could knock the ball around the table and hope that it hits what it needs to hit, but how is that in any way entertaining? Instead, players end up being penalized 12-20 points until they get lucky. Also, since it seems to me that the referee gets to judge whether a shot is a miss, it is clearly open to bias. I bet this is probably something some people have argued about for years, but if your top players are protesting it then clearly something is wrong.
TheMoonRoverYıl önce
Yeah, the miss rule was intended to stop top players from playing too safe and repeatedly missing as a result, the idea being that they must make their best attempt to hit, regardless of where the balls end up. It was never meant to reward near-impossible snookers in this way.
Nick Llama5 aylar önce
It used to be, in the early days of the miss rule, that you needed to make an honest attempt at hitting the ball, and if you did, the referee wouldn't call a miss. Nowadays it's just lazy. Miss a snooker? It's a miss. The rule specifically stated, when it was made, that "A miss will be called if a player, by fouling a ball, gains an advantage." Now the rule is "IF YOU SNOOKER YOU GET A MILLION POINTS LOLZ"

It's not that hard. I do it on a pool table all the time. As long as the ball is almost straight in, but not quite, and you hit it with extreme top English, it will bounce off the rail towards you but the Top Spin will make it freeze, or even go back towards the pocket.

@Bill Smith If it's not that hard, where's your TRshow video showing how it's done? It's not just stun, it arced away into position with extreme backspin on it, then it stopped. Show us how, oh great one
Bill Smith7 aylar önce
@hydorah it's actually extreme top spin. Hit the ball at a slight angle, so it will come back towards you off the rail, but with top. Do it just right and it will stop dead or even go back forward. It's not that difficult with a good stroke.

That cue ball must had its brakes serviced the previous day. That's just unreal!
Johnny D2 yıl önce
I think it was extreme backspin. So the backspin and the speed of the q ball hit wit force canceled each other out. Never seen anything like this in the last few decades! D:
Bill Smith2 yıl önce
It's actually extreme topspin, and I can do it on a pool table. When the ball comes off the rail it wants to go back forward, but he hit it at just the right angle so it basically just stopped. He also could have made it stop like that and then go forward again.
Rohan George8 aylar önce
@Bill Smith yea it is extreme top spin as the ball is hitting the cushion and then the top spin counters the force of the balls movement making it stop.

There’s no way that Thor’s snooker was impossible. He could have come off the top cushion or the jaw of the green pocket
Matt Thrower3 yıl önce
I agree, he didn't even try any other way. Not to say you could get out of it, but you have to at least try a couple of ways before giving up and moving to the next frame.
Hudsonsoul3 yıl önce
I thought that too. He should of tried other routes regardless of how unlikely he was to hit it. I think the shot he chose was impossible to hit the desired ball.
Matt Thrower3 yıl önce
@Hudsonsoul obviously, i think we have to take into account pressure and nervousness too, because sometimes, you just don't think clearly. but yeah, to give up that early on a shot, when you had multiple ways of playing it, probably showed his lack of experience at that level.
Box0rz3 yıl önce
That’s why the referee instisted on him to try again. He wanted to see Thor at least try the top cushion route as well.

I agree, but he needs to get that 7th world title now, just to cement that place, and stop people using Hendry's 7 world titles as a counter argument. Because the 7 world titles, is a good counter argument and i respect it. So if Ronnie can equal that, there can be zero doubt about him being the GOAT

@Matt Thrower I think that he has plans to win even 8 in order to remain the best in everything
Matt Thrower3 yıl önce
@Home of Snooker 8 would be amazing, but i don't think he will do it, it's not impossible, but i do think there are too many good players around now, that it would be very very hard. good luck to him though.
Matt Thrower3 yıl önce
crissgran different times sadly, it doesn't take away from what Joe Davis achieved, but snooker then, compared to now, is not the same. Great player for his time though.
I thought the video lagged out when the cue ball stopped like that in the end that was insane!
Home of Snooker3 yıl önce
Absolutely agree!
Husain Alhayki3 yıl önce
The rule says that the player should attempt to hit the object ball with the best of HIS ability ,now that's a call the referee should make
Home of Snooker3 yıl önce
This is generally a rather subjective rule
Husain Alhayki3 yıl önce
@Home of Snooker yes! I've seen many incidents where the referee didn't call a miss that might be controversial,this call for an other TOP 10 no miss called moments
Home of Snooker3 yıl önce
@Husain Alhayki But here's a unique case in that it seemed like it was really impossible to escape from this snooker. And Thor gave up when there were still enough glasses on the table, because he was nervous. I think that specifically in this case it was the referee's mistake
Matt Thrower3 yıl önce
@Home of Snooker He only tried one way though, a player being nervous, doesn't make the rules change. he could have tried to go up and down using the side cushion, or tried to come off a couple of cushions around the green pocket, but he just tried one way a couple of times and said it was impossible.
Michael Olson3 yıl önce
Actually the miss rule was developed to stop an opponent from gaining a n unfair advantage and to discourage tactical snooker escapes , I personally believe that when Selby had free ball that negates gaining the advantage so that is why the foul/miss rule is so ambiguous.

But in this clip i clearly see selby just totally ignore ronnie even when he got a freeball didnt even look at the viewing angle or what . Selby playing in such a way to distract ronnie concentration . All the time .

It's not an impossible situation. It's the basis of the game. Your oponent has made sure there is no way you can play without awarding a foul. That is called "a snooker" and in the game of snooker, you should expect it from professional snooker players.
