[startrek167]

amazing player!  ujust never know what hes going to do next

must b some feeling to b that good

[880330145789]

anyone seen a 140 break? i would love to see how the audience gasps at the horror which is the miss on the final black

[MaverickEG]

@880330145789 Doherty missed black at 140, check out.

[teddybear8712]

@880330145789 search for Doherty's missed 147 against Matthew Stevens. I can't remember the event. It's a real nerve-breaker.

[GamlaSonn]

I thought the World Open 2010 147 was better

[malaperdas30]

don't forget that is the decider frame! that makes this 147 more important

[ironoful]

Wish Virgo would STFU.

[KingJohnson1985]

wanna see you do a maximum break in the final frame of uk championship semi final...this is absolutely amazing...the best 147 ronnie ever did

[mcdijnh2]

The greatest 147 ever. No doubt. Feel the tension. The atmosphere. Brilliant!!!

Notice how good it is will Clive Everton on commentary! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!

[9066saif]

wow

[WhySki11z]

Who's the commentator? Gotta love him :D

[0502daniel]

AntiFanboy is a faggot! Ronnie is a fucking legend. He is a snooker god.

[0502daniel]

AntiFanboy is a faggot!

[pythonbyte]

selby had a smirk on his face from the first ball to the last. what a TWAT

[therocketosullivan]

there's no one quite like O'Sullivan

[stitcha123]

@AntiFanBoy1 shud we pull up a list of who hendrys lost to? can do if u want retardboy.........

[lthewlis]

i know this is a class break but how does that first black go in?? the bags on tv are huge

[tfn105]

@lthewlis They really aren't big. If you've ever played on a match table like these (I have), you'd realise that.

[HardkoreRocker]

at the end selby is lyk wooo woot wot good break mate now get outtz

[t0v3]

In the time it took to watch this video, Ebdon would have made a break of 16

[Dukesy50]

that first black was incredible, well played to selby to for standing and applauding ronnies 147 after a great match, touch of class from him

[TheNeoHotaru]

coolllll

[tforde654]

@AntiFanBoy1 lol ironic

[Nost4lgion]

I heard antifanboy died recently XD

[martinwilliamrandall]

@Nost4lgion Ah well! There is a God after all! How did he die breaking his back trying to suck & then choaking to death on his own small dick?

[Nost4lgion]

Selby is for sure Ronnies toughest opponent

[hendinho87]

antifanboy1 you are such a faggot i cant believe there are specimens such as you on this planet, but I think it is to show us normal people the depths of ignorance, homosexuality, sheer stupidity capable. You are truly a cum bucket for syringe benders outside your local watering hole!

[carterj25]

he made a mockery of the final frame

[GuitarHeroAddict001]

you cant dislike this!!

[pnenathan]

every shot is perfect!! damn you!

[IlaNiira]

What a way to end the last frame of the semi-final!

[werbeniuk12]

what happened on the first black with the jaws?

[mrantonywillis]

fukk mark selby

[GuitarHeroAddict001]

Unlucky Mark ;D

[upgurke]

@AntiFanBoy1 if its a impossible pot, why did it go in? maybe a conspiracy? but you're right, after his first pure luck shots, he went on being lucky and making a maximum...

[SexBirdCake]

@AntiFanBoy1 Hahaha, I was actually doubting whether you are serious about this. You aren't, right? Because if you are, you really are a nutjob.

[ace666999]

that was the best timed 147, in the frikkin decideing frame !!

[zarakhast]

O'Sullivan is by far my favourite player because he just has more style than all the rest put together. But the carelessness with which he takes some shots (especially the break off shot) really hacks me off. He's also an embarrassingly poor loser. I always want him to win but I always turn the TV off when it's obvious he's going to lose to avoid having to watch his comments afterwards. I suppose this is all part and parcel of being Ronnie but I don't like to watch it.

[EricaCartmann]

my two favorite snooker players! I love watching it altough I don't really get it XD

Could someone explain to when exactly the number in the yellow thing goes higher?

[jadenisko77]

просто восхитительно!!!

[vafangulu3x]

whats the lowest score you can make while pocketing all the reds????

[rash797]

1 red is 1 point and the lowest colour is yellow, 2 points, and the colours add up to 27 so do the math u dumb ass prick.

[medart4]

Has any snooker player ever had a 151 break?

147 + foul.

[timur2390]

free ball (black played) and a 147 = 155!

[rash797]

its not he same break u fuckin twat. That would be total score, not break. Jeex what a dick. you are so fuckin dumb. What a cunt eh.

[rash797]

and don't cuss my spelling, im annoyed that you are so fucking dumb.

[zzzzzzyyyy]

That first black shouldn't have gone in. The pockets were like buckets. The 147 should be deleted from the record books.

[timur2390]

Ronnie has 2 maximums in the decider frame!!!

one with Mark Williams at the WSC 2008 and this 147!!!!

Brilliant!!!

[BaToScAp227]

it always seems like that as well to me! its probably because like against williams there was no pressure because he was about 5 frames up =)

[zzzzzzyyyy]

You're homophobic and for that you should be ashamed.

[frankophille]

AntiFanBoy1 = a penis

[bogdychamp]

@frankophille great coment This idiot called Antifanboy hates Ronnie instinctively .Plus he doesn't know anything about snooker. Ronnie is the best player ever by far.

[rash797]

let him have his opinion you fucking knob, why is he hurting you so much? is Ronnie your dad? PRICK.

[albertmontanes]

you really are a deluded fool, with no clue about snooker at all, but you probably already know that

[zzzzzzyyyy]

Hendry is the greatest ever player by a mile. 7 world titles to Ronnie's pathetic 3.

[kojaksmerrymen]

Hardly pathetic is it? Granted Hendry's record is absolutely exceptional, but you can't discount 3 world titles as pathetic. I think what Ronnie has always lacked (and he admitted this himself in his book) is the drive of a Davis or Hendry to love the game and win everything. Having said that, Ronnie is my favourite snooker player of all time, cos he makes it a spectacle. The game would be royally fucked right now without the likes of Ronnie.

[johnateen1]

hendry the best , ronnie the most talented. if ronnie had hendrys mental mind set he would be unbeatable

[GuitarHeroAddict001]

so what ronnie has still got 9 147's like hendry also ronnie had 9 before hendry did so...

[xF12i3NDS]

you're GAY

[08stroudml1]

how can you say hes a cheating cunt?

are you trying to say that he is a bad player?

[08stroudml1]

ronnie o'sullivan is the best snooker player this world has ever seen.

End of discussion.

[Beerzini3886]

@EnhydraLutris1

This comment made my day.

[zzzzzzyyyy]

This 147 should be null and void. the first black would never go in on a normal table.

[lkryptonicl]

stop hating. he still did it so it doesnt matter

[AZmanutd]

marks face at 1:29 tells you that the first black should never of gone in at that pace....on a normal club table that would never of gone in!!!!

[ei6501]

And you say that club tables are more easier to play than this official championship tables?

[AZmanutd]

i never said that....on the official match championship tables the pockets a slighty bigger and take the balls easier than club tables.....the bbc always want televised tables to have bigger pockets so the players make more centuries so the bbc can attract more viewers!

[kingyize]

Thats a load a pish the professional table's are smaller pockets and its the talent that causes the big breaks. Trust me i know i'm on the snooker circuit

[AZmanutd]

your makin a fool of yourself sayin the championship tables have smaller pockets!!!...the bbc asked the WPBSA could the tables have slightly larger pockets than normal tables, so the players can make more century breaks to attract more viewers, and your not on the pro curcuit, i was 3 years ago and now i'm back on the pios tour i also played for england with mark selby when we were juniors!

[jessica12333]

what a break perfection

[athull08]

I'm going to stick my neck on the line and say this was among the greatest feats ever achieved in British sport.

It's an extremely over-used word, but the man is a total genius.

[HsDarkBlade]

On a normal table the first black would NEVER ever got in.

The break should have ended with the first red, full stop.

[athull08]

How exactly do you define a "normal" table?

No two tables are the same, and on just about any professional table, that would have gone in at least a couple of times out of ten. Fortune favours the brave.

BTW, you wouldn't say "full stop" on the end of a sentence if you knew how lame it sounds.

[neilus]

also, the fact that you agreed with Drail or whatever hes called suggests that your knowledge of snooker isnt so great pal. Why? he argued that i appeared to support break buiders while he didnt..yet at the same time singing JHs praise. Any idiot knows that one of JHs killer talents is his break building. He holds many records regarding centuries in tournaments. I dont know if you read all his posts but the flaw in his arguament should be clear to anyone who knows about snooker...or claims to...

[DoctorSnooker]

I don't said that he's right in terms of snooker. I just said that he's right about saying that you're an illiterate

[neilus]

Im "an illiterate" ? LOL. You are either a non native English person who speaks very good English, or, God forbid,a native speaker who should sort your own language out before accuse others of being illiterate whilst saying things like "I didnt said" !!!

Apart from that,OK, you like Higgins, I dont...no big deal....

[DoctorSnooker]

Illiterate not in terms of language of course. In terms of snooker knowledge. I'm not english and when you're writing quickly and without caring about it it's natural to do mistakes.

[DoctorSnooker]

It's not a question of appreciate a player or not. It's much more than that. You say that you love snooker and at the same time you call Hendry, Davis, Higgins "boring fuckers". This is not logical.

[neilus]

Hi. Maybe you dont know this, but at the time when players were starting to use names like Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins, people used to say Steve 'Interesting' Davis because he was percieved to be extremely dull...so im not entirely alone in my opinion.

Also, as a non native speaker, please be careful about calling people 'cunt's...it an extremely unpleasant and aggressive term...or maybe you learned English from Australians?

[neilus]

Look, im not saying these guys were bad players,of course Hendry and Davis were the greatest players the game has ever seen. If they had played at their peak, i think Davis was a better match player and would have found a way to beat Hendry. My criticisms are purely based on their watchability and entertainment...cmon, if you asked most people 'who would you rather watch, Ronnie O' s or Higgins?' im pretty damned sure most would say Ronnie!!!

[DoctorSnooker]

I just don't understand one thing with you: when you reply me you always do it properly and you say some correct things but in your other comments you usually say a lot of rubbish. ??? Strange.

[MasterPreng]

arrogant yank is he.

[drail2007]

Hes english :/

[Hixyboyblue]

8:33, even Ronnie looked a little stressed at this point ha ha. Cracking Max and judging by the subdued but hearty celebration, this possibly meant more to him than any other, especially given it was Deciding Frame, think it was Semi Final but can not remember for sure. Awesome player, will never be bettered, thanks ever so for posting all these Maximums

[betdec]

what a way to finish a match only ron could do something like this

[vswidelec]

najlepszy...

[abcddcbaabcddcbaabcd]

Great 147 , but I feel sorry for Mark too

[starmate]

WOO

[djblacksunlatvia]

Rocket is best !!! I'm he's fan !

[queenstar]

amazing..come on rocket

[rocksta888]

amazin snooker frm the rocket mii idol

[Gags147uk]

Watching Snooker Video's has certainly helped me with my Game. I think that Mark Selby is a fantastic player, his temprement and overall etiquette is very good, and is a good role model for young/upcoming players.

I think Ronnie is also a fantastic player, but I think he sometimes shows a lack of respect for other players, with needless comments, like critisising Selby. I'm not sure if his depression or whatever, but it's certainly not helping him. And I do feel sorry for him.

[rob2011r]

No depression wouldn't make him make comments like that. It's just in his character I think. Anyway don't feel sorry for him. He's the greatest snooker player to have ever lived.

[stitcha123]

theres such a problem with professionalism, in that it dulls players in my opinion. Im glad ronnie said the things he said about selby. I love to watch both players, but nothing wrong in expressing yourself. Im sure selby can handle it. Also, i think ronnie believes he is helping snooker by reminding everyone of fast paced snooker. He is who he is. If everyone were like o sullivan, we'd see a range of characters.

[manurthebest]

what did ronnie say about selby?

[stitcha123]

in the welsh open he said selby played boring snooker and that type of game was damaging snooker. in fairness selby replied with, but no-one can play you at ur own game and win...

[neilus]

Id have to disagree with RoS here, MS is a good player to watch. Snooker is better than its ever been,any tournament could be won by a number of players,its more open than its been for ages. If we could just get rid of that tedious,persistent fucker Jon Higgins it would be much better...

[stitcha123]

lol excellent comments. and i love mark selby. he's interesting in a different way to ronnie, more of a grinder without being boring, he still takes chances. Ok people, list of people we'd like to see off the top 16? id like to start with ali carter and peter ebdon. Peter ebdon is a chump, and ali carter....well, hes a good player and a nice guy, he just looks like an enlarged boy.

[drail2007]

higgins is a legend stfu u mug!

[neilus]

i dont doubt JH is a legend...if you like them very boring...did he win the last world championship? cant remember...i think i fell asleep....Zzzzzzzzz

[drail2007]

odear odear, just cause ron knocks century after century in doesnt mean everyone else has too to become a legend, Your obv not very knowlegable in snooker tbh!

[neilus]

So what is your dream match m8? Ken Doherty v Graham Dott? Peter Ebdon v Mark King? Ive been watching snooker for over 30 years pal, the game is really struggling at the mo and thats because boring fuckers like Higgins, Hendry, Ebdon etc...have driven the fans and the sponsors away, its not about banging in 100s, its about actually having entertaining players like Murphy, Hamilton, Walden, Allen being on TV and i just think,not doubting the mans ability, that JH is bad for the game ok?

[drail2007]

i couldnt give a fook if u been watchin it for 30 years, he and other take the game to a different level and style, unlike u, u ass lick the break builders! not all about break building u mug! now dont reply cause if u think John higgins makes the game look bad then ur face is saggy as the queens face! Bye

[neilus]

Twat

[neilus]

Robertson, not Hamilton - i stand corrected

[DoctorSnooker]

Higgins and Hendry boring players ?? Drail2007 is totally right you're a complete ignorant and illiterate cunt. Stop saying rubbish. Watching snooker for over 30 years...LOL really LOL. I've been watching snooker for over 40 years mate (it's true) and I really like and understand the game. I don't know anything about your life and don't want to do hasty judgments about your person but I'm 100% sure that you know absolutely nothing about snooker. Please stop saying rubbish !!

[neilus]

Twat

[neilus]

your post is extremely patronising. dont call me a cunt cos i love this game and i want to have great players on tv and bringing talent to the game...you, my friend sound like a twat...at least i have the common courtesy not to address strangers as cunts...wanker

[DoctorSnooker]

I'm sorry to have been a bit agressive but please don't say rubbish. Do you really think snooker would have been a ultra competitive sport without Hendry, Davis, Higgins, etc ??

[neilus]

I appreciate your apology. As i say, ive been a massive snooker fan for years and im very upset that we cant seem to find a sponsor for the world championship for fucks sake! Why? because ultimately its an entertainment industry, and while i admire the consistency and skill of Higgins he is not a player that puts bums on seats. Murphy is. Allen is. Neil Robertson is. I just want to see the new generation come through and revitalise the game...

[neilus]

Illiterate? at least i can argue my case without resorting to insults and rude name calling. For your information, i make a living from teaching English...tenses, prepositions, phrasal verbs, collocations, stuff im fairly sure you have no idea about. so dont call me illiterate cos in terms of language use i would destroy you ok? and id probably beat you at snooker.whats your highest break?

[DoctorSnooker]

Actually I don't play well because I stopped playing for a long time but in my 20s and early 30s I've made centuries. I read your more recent comments and I need to apologize because I don't think you are what you seemed to be with your first comment. But why you said that ???

[AZmanutd]

ronnie only said that comment coz mark selby beat him!! fair and square he jus hates losing you watch when he loses a match he suddenly falls out of love with snooker but whenever he wins he loves the game!

[athull08]

"Whenever he wins he loves the game"????

Which Ronnie O'Sullivan are you thinking of? No one could keep count of the number of times he threatens to quit immediatley after winning a match or even a tournament!
