Funny snooker moment - Mark Selby wants to hand over his shot to the referee (Masters 2009)

[waser123]

I started watching Rugby Tries then I ended up here... :s

[MarkSelbySK]

haha :D

[deepshizzle1]

Its so funny, I can't stop laughing right now...it's unbelievable!!!

[HitMeQuick]

Right out of the Henri Leconte school of tomfoolery. Henry The Cunt, as his name translates, would often give his tennis racquet to a line judge or ball boy and then sit in their chair with a towel over his head pretending to have given up. It was ham acting at its absolute finest and thrilled crowds. In Snooker our equivalent is John Virgo (who judging by the commentary cutaways during the Masters looks like he has a serious drink problem these days) but Mark makes an admirable fist of it here.

[tomsega]

This might be the most quaint 'funny moment' in Youtube history

[BareJews]

Seeing this happen takes all that seriousness out of Snooker... I love this game too much... :)

[tusinukas02]

what did the reff say?

[BareJews]

@tusinukas02 "Seeing something I am?"

[f41sal2828]

Can someone tell me what a masse shot is ? Thanks

[BikerBonno]

@f41sal2828 My friend can, his name's Google, I'll try and get you in touch :)

[beansterman1998]

@f41sal2828 A swerve...

[metheminecraftguru]

cocky bastard

[yksnimus]

why didnt him did a masset shot?

[granain088]

@yksnimus Dude, if you knew how difficult it's to do a massè, you would not say that... Otherwise, probably you won't see a professional player doing a massè while competing in an official match.

[yksnimus]

@granain088 i though professionals got it easy ;D

[chipbutty212]

'ANTIFANBOY1' is a prick on every snooker video, like if you agree

[ReaLLyTaLLLuCas]

This is Jester that's it

[EthanJamesFarrer]

what is so funny bout tht??

[DelBluenose80]

The referees the guy from Balls Of Steel! Hes standing behind Selby whispering ''Fancy a bum?''

[dougiepoolable]

Who else think watchin Selby and Allen playin is one of the best pairs to watch

[Eskidead]

@dougiepoolable yup both of them play with such a great, relaxed atmosphere. I remember this game as the most fun and entertaining from Masters 2009.

I honestly think they are the world's best friends IRL. :-)

[MsRaidman]

i think the ref should have taken the shot

[TheH0lyGrail]

Selby tries to be comi but alwaysfais

[fallios]

best snooker player there is

[moley8791]

this is what i love and hate about youtube. nice random snooker video which you'd probably never see otherwise, and supposedly viewers would take some enjoyment from given they've chosen to select to play it. 50% quality posts from decent people and the other 50% from shit people who could start a fight in an empty room

[puufer]

Er steht gerne nah! Genau wie ich auch! :-))

[RobotRaptor12]

what did he say at 0:33

[disc0papa]

@RobotRaptor12 "seen something clever?"

[hellofromhell]

@disc0papa "Seen something I haven't?"

[disc0papa]

@hellofromhell it really looks like hes saying clever, i might be wrong though

[tyler4692]

@disc0papa kinda sounded like "seen something glow"

[Eskidead]

Saw this match live, and I remember it being played in such an entertaining and happy spirit from both Selby and Allen. They really enjoyed the match.

[qustav37]

hi Ive been playing lots of billiard with my friends but thats just the normal version, with all the numbers and half and whole painted balls and the 8. but I have never understood how you should play snooker, can someone explain?

[darkshad109]

@qustav37 Basically their are 6 colored balls and the reds. Aim is to pot a red, then a color, potting the black will give you most points, but it's not always possible to pot it, so you will need to pot say the pink, which gives less points. After you pot the color you pot another red, then color again. Keep going till the reds are gone, after you pot a color while there are still reds you take the color out and put it back on the table.

Snooker is for hard 1v1. 8 ball is more relaxed.

[Doctoratkins]

john higgins

[killswitchrowks]

What did Jan say at 0:35?????

[wizwoz16]

@killswitchrowks seen something i havent

[bfcricky]

it would have been funny if the referee took him up on his offer and cleared up for him.

[EroSeninLucas]

ahhahah very funny guy

[samyboy280]

the referee would've done it better

[keflar5]

Selby = Nasty Cunt Murphy = Cunting Cunting Cunt Ronnie = King of the Cunts Carter = Boring Twat Higgins = Cheating Cunt Lee = FAT cunt Every Asian player = Robocunts Davis = old cunt Ebdon = no words strong enough so I had to invent one cuncuntaphiliadickunt Robertson = Ok guy Maguire = cheating cunt perhaps or good guy ??? Jimmy White = Great man Williams = coolest man in snooker  Stephen Hendry = GOD

[TheUltraglobalist]

@keflar5

you left out one:

keflar 5 = gayass cunt who came out of a diseased cunt.

[keflar5]

@TheUltraglobalist....I dont play professional snooker and gayass is horrible moronic US language or lack of it. What kind of name is ultra globalist? Are you a fascist? mmmmm CUNT

[00woolley]

@keflar5 As above says - you left one out, in fact you left 2 out:

Kelfar5 = Hateful worthless spiteful trolling shitbag. Are you really antifanboy by another name? Be honest or do you just bum him?

[keflar5]

@00woolley LOL wow would you like some gay aids to go with your hurt sensitive feelings? Pity that you didn't explain to me how i am wrong instead of mmmmmmmmm whats the word .....wait.....oh yeah TROLLING lol what a pussy

[HereComeTheDrums42]

@keflar5 Oh my god, you really need to get a life mate, and get a wider vocabulary given that "cunt" seems to be the only offensive word you can think of.

[keflar5]

@HereComeTheDrums42 My vocabulary is colourful enough that I don't have to use woolly statements like "get a life" ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

PS: CUNT

[blmthug]

@keflar5 Get A Fucking Life, Dont Say Other Snokker Players Are Shit When Your Not Good At It

[tejbirsingh]

@keflar5 = fat ugly black cunt .....

[Bossiiiii]

he's funny as long as he doesnt do the fist pump

[Jamese3]

mark selby is englands next best thing in snooker along with ali carter people rave and rant about sullivan but the bloke is a nob if im honest dont get me wrong i like him and he is the greatest player i have ever seen growing up but ronnie is out of order and shows no respect to other players when he isnt playing well the way he concedes frames and what he done to hendry a couple of years ago was ridiculous. I can seriously see him quitting the sport the way he is going on.

[bigfellaandy]

@AntiFanBoy1 When Ronnie turns it on so to speak... his positional play is amazing. and his main talent is the way he breaks into a bunch of reds, with enough queue power for the red to get out, he can perfect this every single time.

[HDMGDH]

hahahah lame!!!

[mysteryloser24]

@AntiFanBoy1 Chill out dude... Ronnie O'Sullivan is considered one of the sports finest players, so you might wanna rethink that... And also, speed plays a very important role in the game in certain circumstances where it is very neccessary. If by speed you meant potting in quick succession then no, it isn't that important to be quick, as control is unobtainable if you don't take enough time to contemplate your next move as accurately as possible before taking your shot.

[garanger99]

hahahahah so.....boring

[MrSmartComment]

Yeah , Ronnie only owes a record of nine maximum breaks, three world snooker championship titles and a record for the fastest ever 147 break- 5 mins 20 sec. He also can pot equaly good with both hands, can pot with one hand and is nr 1 on world snooker rankings... Oh and crowd loves him for his fast entertaining play ar for not draging the game like some must win idiot "cough" ebdon . Nuthing special here, just a casual snooker player, just veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrryyy lucky . :)

[parmar75]

the way selby reacted ........... i was laughing my ass off.

[atomdragon4]

LMAO! :D

[ringadong]

Mark Selby seems like a stand-up bloke.

[stitcha123]

im not saying ronnie was a better player for playing faster in the nineties, im just saying he took a little less time over shots, which he himself admits, many times. i dont believe i ever said he was the fastest? merely that his overall playing speed was quicker in 90s. which it was. he would tell you himself.

[stitcha123]

ur entitled to your opinion. i enjoy watching selby play. he's 'pathetic' though? lol. you're a cunt. i hope you get cancer.

[holly20hihi]

mark selby jest normalnie niesamowity

[Mablungx]

Mark didn't show his best yet.I give him few years and he'll be there for sure.He's got some serious talent,we may expect a lot from him.The same was with Paul Hunter,he was a fantastic player,I'm sure if he didn't get a cancer he'd propably be a new champion.RIP Paul.Of course that players like Hendry,Higgins,O'Sullivan or Davis are untouchable masters,but they're getting old and noone knows what we can expect from the upcomming champions

[skyflows23]

WELL SAID

[stitcha123]

impressive selection. Not a fan of maguire, but incredible player. Jimmy White im not a massive fan of if honest, although exciting to watch. Drago ive never seen, and mark williams - well what a potter. Matthew Stevens is a strange one, i enjoy watching him play, but is it true he was great friends with hunter, and his subsequent loss of form is due to him still struggling with the loss of his friend? Shmae if so, i enjoyed watching him play. he had a great style

[jonnycoyle]

Drago was faster than ronnie in his day

[stitcha123]

i know he still holds the record for fastest century - but i still think ronnies overall playing speed, espec in mid nineties was quicker

[AlTarik]

maybe your right but I believe Luc Salvas is the fastest of them all...watch speed pool by Luc Salvas also watch Lou Butera..

[stitcha123]

i was very much shocked and upset to hear on paul hunters death. i just didnt cry myself to sleep over it cursing ronnie o sullivan. out of interest, are there any snooker players u do like we can maybe agree on?

[stitcha123]

i think theres only one person who wanks off to paul hunter like you do ;)

[UmagaSucks]

You insensitive prick. Have some respect.

[stitcha123]

i have much respect for the paul hunter and his wife. what i dont have respect for is bell ends who worship one player and insist on bad mouthing others. such as antifanboy. im not alone in thinking he's a cunt.

[rockshandify]

@stitcha123 he's an absolute fool

[stitcha123]

@rockshandify he is indeed.

[Saintsfan959]

@rockshandify fool but with a good meaning :D

[cristianostubbs]

hohohooo

[UmagaSucks]

Snooker expert here

[stitcha123]

i know, not as exciting as watching paul hunters arse when he used to bend down to take a shot eh roflaids? i know diddums..no one will ever replace the torch u hold so high and bright for the only player u truely loved. but know this. everyone who watches and loves snooker thinks ur a complete cunt. personally, i think u perhaps fancy ronnie o sullivan. u do talk about him alot.

[stitcha123]

after ronnie, mark selby is my favourite player to watch. a mixture of flair, and grinding attack. loves it

[diwant]

haha, nice one selby

[iCarroller]

Mark Selby is going to be great come the future..

[yoyutza18]

Future number one for sure !!! Also a great guy ! Good luck this season Mark !

[1337ASM]

@yoyutza18 not a chance

[tforde654]

@yoyutza18 which one?lol

[TheAniman5000]

@yoyutza18 allen or selby? :D

[hellskitchen123]

mark selby is so friendly and funny!

[italianchriswilko100]

this makes me smile

[indauja12]

he's already peaked.

[kofixnoelle]

SWEEEEET :D:D:D

[fallios]

mark selby my favorite snooker player, he should of won this year. he's the best out there. not that ronnie o sullivan bullshit

[spottiedotcom]

silly statement

[fallios]

still statement, ronnie is a sore loser, he crys every game he loses, and he finds reasons to quit, he isn't the best, selby is by far the best player there is.

[indauja12]

selby = best? bwah! i dont really see him worthy being in top16 let alone. selby will fade out in the next few years. he is full of rubbish

[fallios]

yeah that's right, they've already said that it won't be long until selby is #1. he was demolishing Higgins in the semi final

[indauja12]

yeah, selby is good enough to demolish everyone in two or three frames but then he gets demolished in the remaining. bah, selby is just another in the tournament, i see nothing in him. selby, allen, penfei, they are just all promising talents who look ameteurish when they face the true masters of o'sullivan, higgins at their best.

[AZmanutd]

you talk rubbish mate, selby is going to be a future multiple world champion and world number one in the next few years, he aint even in his prime yet! he has got ronnie shakin in his shoes

[indauja12]

oh he will win a tournament or two, just like a bunch of other could-have-beens

[AZmanutd]

he has already won two dickhead! and many more to come, and he is very talented, he is going to be up there with john higgins as one of the best all round snooker players, i.e break building (already over 100 centuries to his name!!!) and his emaculate safety play. FUTURE WORLD #1

[jackeees]

the only reason he will probably become future #1 is that ronnie and higgins will be gone. young selby cant be compared with young ronnie

[DoctorSnooker]

Murphy is a far superior competitor. Selby will never be number one for a long time. And don't forget Mark Allen, Jamie Cope, Ricky Walden and the young chinese players.

[urzareaper]

yes, i'm completely agree with you. Selby is very young, but he has got a great talent. The only thing he needs is a little bit more experience =)

[IFuckGummybears]

@indauja12 Haha, you're the stupid one, cause he beat O'Sullivan. ;]

[AZmanutd]

not being worthy in the top 16, hahaha you know nothing about this game then!!

[zsu88]

He's my favourite too, but I wouldn't say, he's the best (yet :)), but one of the bests. But agreed on that he would deserve to win.

[bfcricky]

silly fool

[yidarmy2007]

selby is coming to my local snooker club soon and i can play a frame with him for £50.

[OldSkoolNiche]

LMFAO @ 0:22 look at the way mark selby looks at him

[OldSkoolNiche]

Mark selby 1 of the best players n he cracks jokes too

[ediithhffs]

I love Mark Selby. If it wasnt for him, i wouldnt started to watch snooker at all.

[sorynel24]

[emotivo1122334455]

[nelly5376]
