Ronnie was right to complain about the quality of young snooker players, today. This game almost put me to sleep. Compare this with a 14 year old Stephen Hendry, or a 15 year old O'Sullivan playing Pot Black. In a different league.
Yep totally agree zzzz
@David Smith those two were bad examples cause they were the best ever. But id be inclined to agree with the poster. Emerging talent isnt what it used to be
@rick kemp....thank you, people are afraid to call something for what it is for fear of offending the easily offended.
I've said elsewhere in threads that this performance indicates very little that would hint at future greatness, it's one game! His rhythm and fluidity are painful to watch, potting balls is one thing, maintaining a consistent flow is something entirely different.
Wait until he has done something in the game before heaping praise upon him, this toxic positivity we are surrounded by is a falsehood.
If you were board by the game use your remote control ,and switch to another channel.
@@stevenwade7466 or go play a bored game...
Well done at this age! But seems to be a boring player to watch in the future.
He just needs some more experience to have the confidence to play exhibition shots
What will you be doing in the future?
@@shanebarker8647
That comment says more about your level of emotional intelligence than anything else. The fact remains that this kid, as good as he may or may not be, is no more exciting to watch than hedge trimming.
Are you suggesting that commentary on a given subject can only be proffered by those more skilled than the person being commented on? If that were the case where would all our professional commentators be?
Calm and consistent, controls the whole game. And you’re telling he is only 15????
How can u be consistent at 15
Starting early in any game is a huge advantage.
thats how Ronnie started of 😂😂 just look at hes old games when he was a teenager
@@filevans Grammar Nazi of the year award goes to...
The youngster Liam Davies has shown a lot of maturity for his age !
Solid like a pro under pressure. But the big boys haven't started yet.
Well well well, leaving tempters, good safety, good Potter, good breaking building, looking very interesting 😎
Fantastic temprament got a massive future ahead of him well done Liam.
A lot of todays youngsters are very over-coached. But Liam has something natural about his game that will set him apart as he keeps improving.
I hope not, he's more boring than watching paint dry. There's no one around now that watched the whole match, they all died of old age.
@im Inc...What exactly are you talking about? Every player has something natural about their game, they wouldn't make the grade if they didn't, it's known as genetic ability. As for coaching, that is part of any young players game on their way up.
He is hesitant at this point, almost painfully slow in fact, but that again is just his temperament. He is a good player, no question, but the world is full of good players...I see nothing particular in his game that arbitrates your claim of future greatness.
Another snooker prodigy like me , and l'm still dreaming of playing in the Crucible although l'm 56 yrs. young 😜🤪
Haha I wonder how many other Ronnie Osullivans there are out there that just never played
Keep dreaming old man 🤣🤣
@@Happy-mh8xq 56 ain't old 🤭
Shouldnt he be revising for his GCSEs?
Well done young fella, great for snooker.
I see al the comment's complaining his pace and that he didn't made any exhibitions shot but believe me, I played with him at the IBSF world u16 championship and(where he won) and his exhibitions shot and all the shots that he made were unbelievable! He even made a century break.
How many people can handle the pressure at that age. Seriously, well done, lad.
Kids dont overthink. They actually have less fear in most cases. The only adults dent to consider...and then speculate...and then...
That's the point, 15yr olds don't consider the pressure, they have no real frame of reference for it. It was a great effort, however his future cannot possibly be assessed on this performance.
@@viliamgajdos5917 oh, they do! I’m a P.E teacher, and try get them to perform and communicate in front of the class is a real challenge for them. The may not feel the same immense of pressure as adults would, but being out in a new setting with cameras etc. They definitely feel it out there.
I know him, what a class player for his generation
How bad is it in this day and age to be slating a fifteen year old boy for bettering his life by complaining he is to slow he is still a child learning a trade and as for saying he will never win a worlds wtf do you know he’s obv better than any of these jealous xxxxxxxx don’t get any of you if it’s not Ronnie nobody wants to know
Love the comments all very supportive and and dead on this boy has serious potential with his cueing and temperament and considered and calm yet confident nature!
the best thing that can happen to any sport....or in any vocation..is the emergence of young talent that portends future greatness...
Hill got exited after beating O'Sullivan in a first to 4 match and his dad said he was the next big thing coming but he done nothing before or since.
What an achievement that is!!! Well done young man...
Some rather unfair comments about the pace of the game. Each player has their own way of playing, and this kid is a thinker and planner, all with a solid cueing action. He is probably 5 years or so away from playing professionally. Let’s see how he develops in the meantime. My advice to him would be, don’t change a thing. He probably still has a lot to learn about the tactics of the game. Just avoid making mistakes, and put your opponent under pressure all the time. Digby Long
He should play at the speed he feels comfortable with. Winning is what matters in matches. He can be entertaining on exhibition nights!
God help me i wud die watching if these two made it to the final.rather watch ebdon vs steve Davis
It's all part of the Sight Right method he has to follow because he doesn't have any natural ability of his own. There are 10 steps you have to remember on every shot to pot the intended ball. I can imagine though it can be difficult to remember all 10 on every shot so he may have to take a few seconds more to think before playing the shot.
Gan on Lizza bonny lad!
Liam isn't a consistent big break builder and is slower than Peter Ebdon. Not hating on the guy but he needs to improve quite abit and get rid of that bore factor. Keep going and maybe one day see you in the final stages of big tournaments.
The next Peter Ebdon

I subscribed, cuz Ronnie said so!
Love his cue action so compact, there's v little can go wrong with it. I think he needs to be harder on himself with balk safety shots. The opponent is getting his hand on the table too often and you will get hurt further into the tournament
God it's like watching paint dry ..

@@judesmith4120pair of you hating on a 15 year old haha is everything ok at home??
*world championship qualifier match
Boring slow player, another Terry Griffiths
Jimmy white is not boring and won world championship same times ?
Isn't that a qualifier? The title is misleading...
It's still part of the World Champs.
@@adrianwright8685 Indeed and snooker aficionados know that we're still in the qualifying stage of the WC.
15? He plays like a 50 year old back in the seventies.
ROS is saying subscribe to Eurosport Snooker on a video about the youngest play in snooker - you bet I'm subscribing. I hope this kid is mentally strong enough to succeed in this game. Very few are.
His a good player but the time between shots... his a young martin gould lol
Jez it’s like watching a young Peter ebdon no wonder hill ended up losing in all honest great story a 15 year old winner although hill is young himself but my god if young Davies becomes a pro one day the viewers well then slag him anyway for this ridiculous pace 😂
He let up on the last pink. He needs that killer instinct to be great!
Haha
Well done!
It must be said that Mertens beat Cahill later in July in 2020 because of the pandemic.
Some say snooker will suffer when Ronnie retires. I don't think so. The future is bright.
Slow and deliberate is a great way to win, but it's not as entertaining
I played this kid in Gloucester when he was about 11, he was very solid then for his age. Even then he was quite methodical and had a good technique. Will be interesting to see if he does anything in the professional game. The standard is ridiculous nowadays, and with all these young Chinese prodigies coming through, it will be very difficult for all the British players of the future
There are good players coming through but no one outstanding yet, my opinion anyway and Ronnies lol
Only thing I have in common with this talented young man is my surname. I could never play like that.
3:49 the guy's be like "Kill me pls..." lmao
Well done Liam, great accuracy in your game❤️💪
This kind of play doesn’t put bums on seats at Venues.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ😢 Agree with Ronnie, this pace of play is killing the game.
Fair go, he is only 15. Give him some time.
would love to know the age difference between him and the referee
The referee is Leo Scullion from Scotland and he has 64 years. So the difference is 49 years
So much walking around the table.
Not the world champs, but still fantastic to watch.
bad camera work......and his cue seems short
Os cara pensa muito pra jogar ,tá loco! Da até sono.
Im thinking we call him " Liam The Calm "
Not another Davies.😆
something in the name.
Both players too slow,i skiped and skiped the video many times
With the oldest ref.
Sorry but he's an average player at best.
Poor editing
Ñj
Osullivan wud quit snooker if he has to play tuis guy

If he wins the world championship they will still be playing on Monday.
He does look very methodical for a 15-year old.
@@MarkxUK1 I do wish him well, he is only 15 and professional snooker is a big learning curve, by the time he is in his prime the people in the game will have changed and the bar will be higher than now,I look forward to seeing his progress.

@@judesmith4120 I wonder if Kyren Wilson does Sight Right as well? His style of playing is very similar. Surely they must have some ability though.
Mediocre at best.
Go on buddy 😁
What a legend
Is he related to Ryan Davies?
Yes, it is his younger brother by 4 years. This family breeds insane snooker talent.
He can only improve....
So deep .
he played like selby...
so he's a great player
@@bonkerbonker5083 very slowly...😅😅😅
@@edysidek6843 Slowly but surely !

Davis by name Davis by nature
"Davies" !
@@adrianwright8685 tomato tomato
He should not have gone to split the pack from the green ball, but instead have played for the loose red at the back of the pack. Game could have gone both ways, probably his last win at the worlds. Kids got potential, needs to pick his shots and kill off the match in singe visits.
Watching paint dry..
When the match started he was 3 yrs younger than mertens
Doesn’t look 15
He doesn't look 10 or 65 either lol. What's a typical 15 year old lad look like?
@Wayne Anthony Holmes Fancy a scrap fella?
Hill needs to move from Cork and base himself in England like Doherty years ago at Ilford. Should practice regularly with Chinese at Sheffield. Not sharp enough.
@@JackMcLeodJr Keyboard warrior
@@l0wk3y10 Mate I was taking the pyss! Wayne replied to me, not the other way around. Clearly it went over your heads. Muppet!
Boring too slow
Didn't know Ebdon had a son...yawwwnn
