This guy is clueless 😂

This entire channel is actually worrying, to focus solely on push shots, almost all of which weren't push shots is embarrassing. Genuinely reporting you for defamation, because what you're doing is falsely accusing people of CHEATING. Grow up and get over yourself. You aren't helping professionally trained referees, you're only embarrassing yourself and spreading false rubbish to try and get a bit of fame. Everyone who knows snooker can see these are not push shots.

Think you need help pal, just seen 2 of your push shot videos and neither of them are pushes 😂 may I suggest Specsavers.

Never a push shot in a million years 😂

What a load of baloney, 💯% agree nothing wrong with that shot, another a hole trying to gain some attention, get a life , Patrick Ryan

I've never seen a more obvious push shot...

You have problems mate😂😂😂

Down to the referee to determine its a push shot...gary is an honest professional and im sure if he had thought he had fouled he would have called that. Bit pathetic to call him a cheat.

Another clickbait/trolling video.

Looked ok to me' he's from Newcastle like me 😊

Did you not see zang anda push shot in belfast? ben wiliams was the ref.

Not even a table tap from Trump the prick 😂

He obviously tried it but there was an element of luck that it came off.

Good placement, but not the best ever.

That is not a push shot. Your “formula” that you keep using does not work, especially if the cue ball is not struck along the center and if there is an angle on the shot

Nope, you are wrong, he played it perfectly to avoid the push shot

Daft you can't physically do a push shot and screw back! Push shots invariably involve top spin/plain ball. Plus use your own voice for narration.

I value the ref opinion over yours

It's not Ricky. 😮

You need VAR for these, so not reasonable to expect referees to accurately judge the distances. A time waster of a complaint 😢

I've also seen Ricky performing a few push shots in other games (your videos) so 'if you live by the sword then you have to expect to die by the sword' also 😊

In snooker, push shots and double contacts are not allowed. This particular push shot was performed by Thepchaiya Un-Nooh in this year's 2024 British Open snooker tournament. It resulted in Ricky Walden being eliminated from the competition as it meant Thepchaiya was able to keep his winning break going in the deciding frame. The referee seems oblivious that anything was amiss. There is a very simple formula that all referees can use to identify push shots: Quite simply, if (A) the distance the cue travels through the white is greater than (B) the distance between the two balls then it has to be a double contact. This is because the white will always slow down when it meets the object ball and this allows the cue to catch up for a second contact. And because the object ball went in the hole, we can also assume that the second contact is a push shot, that is cue, white and object ball all in a row, briefly touching. This is because of the timing. Here, we can see that A is approximately 1½ times the value of B. This is clearly a push shot. The referee has obviously not been trained properly on push shots. But it is his responsibility to make sure that he is and there are plenty of resources on TH-cam for him, including my videos. Therefore, this is his fault, in my opinion. This is bad refereeing, plain and simple. This video is for educational purposes only.

I think getting the white behind the blue was mostly luck, he was just playing to put the balls at opposite ends of the table.

No Patricia, absolutely not.

I think you're talking utter rubbish Mr Ryan. You say "The fact that so many other reds moved is clear evidence that he had a much fuller contact and the "cue-tip remained in contact" - I disagree with that statement. It appears to me that the object ball that was hit by the cue ball was the 2nd red below the pink (below as viewed from the angle of the video, notwithstanding that the top of the table is closest to the bottom of the video). For what you say to have any merit, it would have had to have been the 3rd red below the pink that was struck by the cue ball. The cue did not extend forwards to be within a balls diameter of the 2nd red below the pink, and therefore the cue could not have been contact with the cue ball when it struck that red. Thus, it was not a push shot. (Your whole discussion on "very fine edge of the object ball" is not relevant to this shot, and I think you have confused yourself by discussing that aspect of the push shot rule at length)

It certainly was an exceptionally brilliant shot, but the best safety of all time? I very much doubt it, as there are really so many. Who can actually judge what the best shot or best safety shot was, I am not even sure any of the commentators or ex players can judge that call.

There are many shots that have been played that are better than this, however it’s a very good shot, but the calculation, coupled with implementation was not something that would be natural to achieve and therefore it had a lot of ifs and buts, otherwise he would be much further up the ranking, respect!

This shot was well done but isn't so difficult like it seems. The cue-ball goes long rail, short, long, long, short and back-up behind blue. A quite normal 5-cushion shoe for a 3C-player. And Judd Trump had only one miss on it.

That's not the best safety shoot ever Stfu talking crap

Best safety shot????? Meh..........

No it's not.

No

That was a good shot to get a snooker.There again he could not of got a snooker.I have seen many shots played where snookers were missed.

“ Kevin Wilson 7 “

Top Draw Kyren !

You're kidding 😂😂

The Referee sounds like Kim Jong Un from Team America. I wonder is he wonery.

No

Could have played that with a bit of 4 by 2 and no chalk

black is still on the on the table, so what gives please explain.

Nice work 😊

I think Anthony had laser eye surgery to improve is eyesight & it went badly wrong so is eyes are much worse then before now & really struggles to see at times now very sad indeed he’s doing well to keep playing but snooker is life loves the game so much still.

Wasnt deliberate, it was a total fluke!!

No, the best safety shot won him the world championship by using his brain and playing the table rather than his opponent ❤

Undoubtedly one of the best snookers I’ve ever seen

Shot of a champion

But Kyren has an unfair advantage. His double shimmy feet shuffle when he gets down to take the shot. They would all be as good if all the players did that 😶

No

What’s with these Chinese referees, stand back not hover over the players shoulder!

It a fantastic shot. But the shot opportunity, is a given choice, for most professionals. Kyrren has a natural angle to send brown behind bulk and cue ball back up again. He played it perfect.
