147 Ronnie O'Sullivan vs. Mark Williams(2008)

[rob2bankai]

a bentley to float about in lmao

[HaCho0]

Holding a trophy don't mean anything i think. Its all about who gives the best. Snooker is a entertainment afterall. Whatever it is, everyone has their own style, own mood, own prime season. So just keep your comments to yourself.

[rezaka116]

Yesterday i did this too. And then i turned off my pc.

[ruthsarst]

Ronny the freak!

[andos8888]

best break ever!!!

[n1iKoLla7]

...he is like cristiano ronaldo ! ...he has best skill but bad personality !!! ;)

<3 ronnie !

[Doderhultarn89]

Peter Ebdon is better

[werbeniuk12]

I agree, Ronnie is kind of a genius, like alex higgins and Jimmy White, but he has not the winning spirit like hendry or davis....and sometimes offers bad sportsmanship...

[TheMariemitchell]

@werbeniuk12 hes never been a bad sportsman. what utter rubbish you chat

[zarakhast]

The most fluent, brilliant, snooker player ever. But he's terrible when a bit of patience is required : he can't be arsed, he's so impatient ! I want him to fulfil his true potential but I don't think he ever will. He's getting older all the time. Every time he opened up a lead against Selby his first shot in the next frame (often the break) was careless. It's as if he doesn't rate the other guy's ability to pot a ball. Having said that the press should lay off him and stop provoking him.

[LapoSettepanze]

@zarakhast that's the prerogative of most geniuses. Federer is pretty much the same. It's hard for them to be inspired or challenged by the opponents, and that reflects on a lack of concentration or hunger sometimes. For 10 minutes, try to sit and have a conversation about the meaning of life with a bunch of 12 years old kids. You will probably look bored or distracted too after that

[zarakhast]

@LapoSettepanze I agree with you but I think that, given that he's no spring chicken any more, he should be looking to make it at least 4 world titles now. One day we all wake up to the horrible realisation that we are no longer quite as quick as we once were. I personally think he's a very honest bloke and often gets slaughtered for it. Sometimes he deserves the criticism, sometimes he definitely doesn't. He's the most entertaining player I've ever seen, a snooker poet !

[stitcha123]

@zarakhast definately, itd be interesting to see how many he cud get. i think in theory he cud equal hendrys record, i suspect he'll get 4, possibly 5 though.

[TheMariemitchell]

@stitcha123 did you actually watch this video man?! lol he has beaten it, hes had 9!!!

[stitcha123]

@TheMariemitchell im not sure what point ur trying to make.

[stitcha123]

@zarakhast i like what jimmy white said about players like him and ronnie. they think and act quickly on the snooker table, therefore they try to make chances as early as possibly. when they win or score heavily, hey end up doing it quickly, and in style, but.....u lose consistency. hendry and davis had that, but they had the patience to wait until their chance came, then theyd nail you. ronnie seems to get frustrated n try n force the chances to come his way.

[BoyBangla]

"The man is a total genius!"

[neilus]

ha ha...cracks me up, dennis taylor keeps saying oh, he doesnt have the angle...and yet even when he is straight, ronnie finds the angle....he defies the laws of physics, he defies the laws of just how unbelievably entertaining he is...underachiever? maybe...van gogh only sold 2 picures...hendrix only recoreded 4 albums...genius is defined by quality not quantity...CMON RONNE for 2010!

[TheMariemitchell]

@neilus exactly couldn't agree more. I'd rather have fewer things or achievments and the quality be to the max than have a shed load that are just mediocre so so..

[255carlito]

@TheSluremus your right he is an underachiever!

But now talking about hes personality; he is no longer the arogant kid he used to be hes grown up and doesent make silly things or statements he did before.

Just like Efren a living legend of pool is,

Ronnie is living legend of snooker.

raw talent... love watching them play

[bellybasher]

Yes Ronnie's great and Williams glad to see him back too

[nursefan]

Two of my favourite players

[petrucci77]

7:08

Under that kind of pressure, that is the best shot i have ever seen in my life!

Just amazing..

[akarmide]

RONNIE IS THE BEST! The King Of Snooker.

[TheSluremus]

Absolutely tremendous! I am no fan of Ronnie, 'cause I don't like his personality. But a genius like I've never seen! The worst part is, and most may disagree about this, is that he actually is a little bit of an underachiever when you consider the insane talent. Davis, Hendry and Higgins are of course talents like no one else. But not like Ronnie. But despite this, Hendry has 7 world titles, Davis 6 and Ronnie has 3..

[RonnieCo88]

@TheSluremus Totally agree with you on the under achievement. With his talent theres no reason for him not to have won more world titles, but he is without doubt the most naturally gifted player of all time. What a break !

[zarakhast]

@TheSluremus That's definitely true ! I agree with just about every point you made. In years to come he will regret not having achieved his full potential. He will always be a controversial character for many reasons. At least he won some World Titles, unlike poor old Jimmy White. It's a sad story really. Like you say : Hendry 7, Davis 6, Higgins 3, O'Sullivan 3 - and yet Ronnie was the best really. He's a sulky child. I'm a great fan of his snooker but he annoys the f*ck out of me.

[birchman3]

@TheSluremus i agree with everything except for you not liking his personailty. I love his personalty. He's different, he's unique, he's not boring he doesnt conform to normal behaviour which makes him interesting. Hes not in it for the money hes in it for the game of snooker and he says what he thinks. Thats surel better than some fake boring snooker player who fixes games isnt it?

[Hitmanfan91]

@TheSluremus I totally agree, if their was a ratio for how great you were to how many world titles you've won, he deserved to have won more than Hendry.

[balancedscorecard79]

@TheSluremus Take out the stupid division by titles and you'll be left with a unique separation ... Ronnie and the rest ...

[naakaataa13]

Just the best!

[kbomb011]

One fo the greatest framesof snooker you are ever likely to see. The shot to move the red for the pink was incredible. O'Sullivan on a snooker table is like Hendrix on a guitar or Beethoven on a piano. Simply the best!

[TheMariemitchell]

@kbomb011 man my heart races everytime i watch him play, and damn i know how much is racing when im watching him so im surprised the dude aint having a heart attack when he says his is!! God! My hearts pounding in my chest and im like im in a thriller movie this is great!

[bkakaak47]

he is legendary

[zzzzzzyyyy]

The pockets today are too big and a 147 has no meaning. Any Tom,Dick and Harry could make a maximum. Carter made one the next day!

[uzare]

7:12 was one of the best canon of the red i have ever seen, he totally deserved it,

keep goin ronnie,

n thanks for uploading this video

[glasgowdmon]

would be really embarissing if you started clapping and no one else joined haha. great game though

[TheMariemitchell]

@glasgowdmon lol

[devilbats21]

This man is a GENIUS.....the once in a decade ever born.......Long Live the Rocket!!!!!!!

[Bossiiiii]

[dewsroberts]
