2001 Shot of the Championships

[stitcha123]

hahaha, steve looks genuinely destroyed at the end!

[Tabish29]

Higgins's was the most unbelievable for me. Wicked pot and breaks out the red as well. Jeez.

[CHEESYhairyGASH]

yea steve

[timur2390]

all Ronnie's shots are amazing!!!

GO RONNIE GO GO...!!!

[armaniac661]

... now that I think about it, connellrocraymond is right!

though ronnie i my favorite player, higgins' shot was the best due to the fact that he needed the red to win the frame.

connellrocraymond explained everything very well :)

[connellrocraymond]

Whats all these heated discussions over snooker shots??? The players dont even care this much lads! For me, Higgins' shot was the best purely for the circumstances he was in. If he hadnt nicked the red away from the pink, he'd have lost the frame probably and gone 2-0 down. Instead, 1-1 and he had the momentum going into the third.

Moreover, I think John Higgins is the best clutch player in sport, not just snooker. The amount of "backs against the wall" clearances he's made is incredible!!

[jambamz]

@connellrocraymond ahhh well not so now :)

[connellrocraymond]

@jambamz

What?? My statement still applies! If they end his career, he will have been the best clutch player in snooker!! Plus, he hasnt been found guilty yet. He's still fighting it so ill continue supporting him!!

[jambamz]

@connellrocraymond no no i agree I cant be bothered with all these idiots condeming the man, I personally think he was set up hook line and sinker, just remember 

DONT BYE THE SCUM OR NEWS OF THE FOOLS

[connellrocraymond]

@jambamz

Good to hear lad. Amen to that.

Higgins is crucial to snooker in my opinion! Without him, and with ronnie gone to the dogs, snooker will fall apart. Its no coincidence that this years final was awful....the last 3 finals had higgins and ronnie in them and they were hugely exciting. The sports future will be defined by the Higgins outcome in my opinion. Even if cleared tho, Higgins' reputation is ruined...such a shame.

[bogdychamp]

@jambamz u are the biggest retard in human history.

Are u that stupid ???? Can anybody be that dum ? Haven't u watched the video ????

Higgins is a CHEATING SCUM BAG and a PIECE OF SHIT.

[jambamz]

@bogdychamp yawn, no and neither have you, not all of it anyway. the snooker body has though, and he's back in the game AND world champ, so fuck off

[bogdychamp]

@jambamz he bribed the snooker body to get away with it . That and the fact that he was a very important player helped the scumbag Higgins tho get away with it. Quinten Han got a 8 year ban for a similar incident.

[jambamz]

@bogdychamp right so now he bribed the snooker powers! dear fucking god man listen to yourself, fact is matey your probably some ronnie fan who cant stand the man, bet youve got negative comments on hendryu vids as well, or is that you quinten? lol dude the guys still in the game and will be when ronnie and a few others of his generation aint, oh plus did I mention, HE 'S WORLD CHAMP!

[bogdychamp]

@jambamz Higgins is nothing but a Cheating Bastard to me. As 4 Hendry, I don't hate him.I hate the fact that he has won everything (prize, money, fame ) and he's still obsessed with winning . He should only play attacking shots to entertain the crowd, no safety shots at all. He wouldn't win , but he has won enough already.He should just enjoy the game.

[doiwantsomerandom]

the first shot is classic ronnie thats y most ppl love him, fantastic shot, even id b proud of that one lol

[itisme400]

i nderstand that, but i'm pretty sure if you were atg table level you would see that when side would be applied it would be hard NOT to pot the brown

[itisme400]

it was a simple escape really if you know how to apply side properly and by the way, i've played snooker for 10 years so dont tell me i know nothing about snooker or it's participants BOY!!!!

[armaniac661]

I agree with brothersfor... Ronnie is the greatest :)

[itisme400]

last one,. def

[ugluspegill]

The narrowly cut red from Higgins was in my opinion the best shot... since he only had a chance to play on loosening the only red left...what a fabulous pot.

[brothersfor]

the half is made by rhe rocket LOL ... best player ever

[BenA096]

wtf doctor snooker there might be 22 on the table but hes 20 behind

[lizzie699]

the rocket dominates

[DoctorSnooker]

Poor Dennis Taylor: (at 0.35) look at the scoreboard he's 20 points behing he can't take the pot on. Hello Dennis 22 on the table !!

[manudude02]

I'm pretty sure he meant it's too risky to take the pot on. If he went for it and missed, he could leave an easy pot on (and now be 24 behind with 18 remaining)

[sshakababy]

@DoctorSnooker Dennis was right. He couldn't take the pot on because it was very difficult and most probably he would've missed it with no idea where the cue ball might end up.

[HsDarkBlade]

Patrick Wallace's shot by a mile! Tremendous technique.

[ImFrEaK470]

wtf look at the break at 1.44-1.48 ?!

[Hendrixfan112233]

Why all the potty language for a best snooker shot video?

[ImFrEaK470]

fuck you .

[PeteGeeza86]

Im not lying my friend-it's getting very popular with gay men in trendy bars in our big cities in this country.....must be all that bending over and getting it straight down the hole in one go...

[Chipspider]

What are you doing in trendy bars with laods of gay men ya fag

[pistolpeeroy]

ha wot a shit joke u stupid cunt!

[simomax147]

petegeeza, you weird dirty baggy bum, go fuck a hurse you fag

[stitcha123]

i love how awful the tv production values were back then. terrible. and davis looks about 12 :)

[michal1829]

what is the song?

[iluvsnooker07]

ronnie does play some imaginative shots thats why hes on her so much. the last one has to be the best bt shot A took some cuing

[LoafOfPint]

People who say Joe Davis was the best ever obviously have no idea of what the game was like in his day.

[TinyT1792]

do you notice how more than half the shots are from ronnie, the best player ever to grace snooker

[Nostix88]

I second that!

[geekyviking]

I'd have to go with shot C or D.

[mrcs3]

stunning!

[oanapredescu]

RONNIE! RONNIE! RONNIE!

[ousman]

who won that year then?

[russelltrigger]

i have no idea which one won but i guess i would of voted for out of them SHOT D.

but does anyone know which know W0N?

cheers

[imytheman]

ronnie was on fire that year

[nayoofi99]

ronnie has the best 3 shots not only the best shot

[sillywalks111]

The days when the BBC put effort into finding shots of the championship.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

you cant blame them for being uninspired with some of today's players/matches being so boring.

[adibeh]

ronnie is a legand,,but i was wounder,,who's better,,ronnie in hes prime or davis in hes prime

[Alex0paul]

Neither. Stephen Hendry is the greatest.

[jackr88]

if you wanna get really padantic...Joe davis is the best

[MrPlaystation95]

@Alex0paul i agree

[bogdychamp]

Fuck u , u retard. Ronnie would wipe the floor with Hendry and Davis combined.

[mr2gti]

Who records the 2001 Shot of the Championship????

Nerdy bugga lolol.

Top video.

[pupspudding]

what a cue power from ronnie on the brown and the yellow! I don't think that only a few players in the game have this cue power!

[kasusknaktus]

1:02 WOW! great video thanks for uploading!!!

[bernard02001]

all ronnie's shots lol

[slug182]

oh my god! great great stuff!
