Can't stand Radzi, he's saying wow as he can't believe he's got that gig.
agreed, he has no idea about snooker at all, and is in awe at answers, he's actually just in awe that he's even there...
@@nickedmondson1583he's only there because of this fascist Marxist political climate agenda. Multiculturalisn ethnicity PC culture
He does commentating for strongman stuff & he gets too excited & pronounces his words wrong a lot.
@@nickedmondson1583 very true, & people who know snooker very well know he's a con.. But.. He ticks a box...
@@speedy692 are you him? 😂
Ronnie refuses to say Selby for any category 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
These types of questions have been asked to a lot of the other snooker players and seby said ronnie for being ambidextrous which is obviously ronnie. He wouldnt say break building or potting even though ronnie has the most centuries and the fastest 147. The clown from leicester is a jealous p#@#$
Same for jimmy with Henry 😅
Exactly ..Selby is so difficult to beat ...he never gives up
Totally!!!! Just the same way Jimmy refuses to say Hendry for any category!
The host is hilarious. “Oh Wow”. He’s absolutely bloody clueless. He asks them who has the best safety game which is effectively tactical nous and then after they answer, he proceeds to ask them who has the best knowledge and table IQ. Snooker really is one of those games where you need to play it to have a real understanding. It’s not enough to watch it on a screen because you can’t appreciate the pressure on particular shots or the skill required. I have played for 15 years and know a number of the players on the tour. You would be amazed how good some of these blokes are in practice. There are players in practice who can play as well as the likes of O’Sullivan, Higgins and Trump do on TV. A few examples I have seen play incredible snooker are Rob Milkins and Mark Davis. Obviously it’s about doing it on the main stage and that’s what separates the top boys from the rest.
Typicla box ticker with no clue what so ever.
When Jamie Clarke won the other day he said in interview he was tired and feeling happy about going home at 5-1 down. He then proceeded to ask him if he felt he could win it 5-1 down lol
Yeah, he's asking two questions which are the same in one sentence? There's simply zero standard to be a Eurosport presenter and there appears to be no dress code either. I do appreciate it when both the presenter and the guests make an effort as it's not too much to ask now, is it? The BBC is better but not as good as it has been in the past. It's clear that they're trying to appeal to this brainwashed lost generation of morons.
Peter Ebden for both questions
Went to a couple of pro ams and pros that fell of tour were there they are unbelievable players.
Great panellists; shame about the host. We need someone who can do better than "Wow!"
Terrible questions and such a dull segment that offered nothing.
Always moaning!
He’s there because of his ethnicity.
@@balchana3365 Have a day off
what nonsense is he talking about? top trumps?
Completely agree....how ridiclous...wow ...wow....And awful questions..If Ronnie said I had egg on toast this morning he would say....wow!!!
They should have answered Ronnie to every question including Ronnie the best player in the modern era - interviewer was a bit lame - jk 🐸
😂😂😂 exactly
gotta tick those boxes dude
Yeah, it's like they put a Benetton model and a former children's BBC presenter as the new spokesman for EuroSports Snooker. Give him the mic and says "No worries son, no character or personality needed for this job," and you'll be fine lol.. The standards are very low so just say the first thing that comes into your head and it's all right because you is black. Oh, when will this Marxist ploy to destroy England stop I cry! 🤣🤣🤣
How does he get a job on the BBC? He's obviously only put there so they can push their PC multiculturism down our throats. The BBC and Eurosport are nothing but a political leftist PR spin machine now days. They'll ruin the sport and hand over the World Championship to the dirty Arabs and the communist Chinese cnts.
Why hasn't Steve Davis been mentioned for Temperament?! He was one TRUE GENTLEMAN and AMBASSADOR. Stephen Hendry was mardy face even when he's 10 frames up!!!!!
No mention of the GOAT Stephen Hendry either. Jimmy White is bitter. It's pathetic! He just drools over O'Sullivan! They kiss one another. It's pathetic!
@@user-uc6vs9wf5bwait you think hendry is the goat? Lmao that argument has been over for a long time now
@@fad2679In mind it hasn’t lots of others always still Stephen is the goat
@@user-uc6vs9wf5bJimmy is a wanker when it comes to hendry a little baby he is
@@user-uc6vs9wf5b No mention of whom? The real GOAT Ronnie O'Sullivan is on your screen .
Ronnie in his prime always wiped the floor with prime hendry.
Read then and weep!
9-4 to Ronnie against Hendry in finals...9-8 to Ronnie against Hendry in Semi Finals..4-4 in QF.. 30 -21 to the GOAT Ronnie against Hendry Head To Head.
2004/8 WSC Semi Finals says all you need o know about Hendry
I've never ever seen any player in any sport ( never mind snooker )with more bottle than Stephen Hendry!!! His composure and ability to play his best in extreme pressure situations was unrivalled in my opinion!
the standard wasn't as high when he was playing and he's already admitted that as has Steve Davis.
the standard got really high when the class of 92 came along. Now in order for Ronnie or John Higgins to win, they have to play top quality with the likes of Selby, 4 times world champion, Robertson, a world champion along with Trump. Mark Allen, Williams Roberts, Ding, Selby, Kiran Wilson. All of these players were as good as if not better than Davis at the top of his game. I would say Hendry would not have liked to have played Trump, Selby, Higgins, Ronnie, Robertson, Williams and Bracel at the top of their games. These players make centuries every fourth visit to the table now for the season. The standard is so high now that they stopped giving out big prize money for the 147s. The answer is that Hendry and Davis were brilliant at their prime but they'd never have won so much with the players that I mentioned if they were around at the same time as them.
Radzi is an absolute divvy. Unbareable. How did he get this job and how does he keep it? None of the snooker audience like him it seems.
I think we all know how he got the job 👍
Diversity requirement
@@sidneygreen9120 I don't know.
Multiculturalisn mate, it's the new fascism
Oh Here we go…
Graham Dott 🤣 Ronnie showing how little the presenter knows. Nice little laugh in his face without him knowing
Painful watch because of the interviewer...
You mean Ronnie O'Sullivan. Looks like he wants to go home. Why even there when he's playing!
I'd want to go home with an interviewer like that. Can't blame the bloke.@@user-uc6vs9wf5b
@@user-uc6vs9wf5b I love the fact that Ronnie is finally getting ALL the Fame, Credits, Exposure and ALL the lovely comments and recognition from sportsman and pundits,AND CELEBRITIES all over the world. This is what he deserves more than anybody. I still think he’s one of the greatest sportsman to ever live. 👏 ❤
I know, he's terrible
@@iwannadrinkfromyourwideeye2635 Only terrible one is the arrogant bottler from Bristol.
Memories are short. Snooker has changed enormously with the superfast cloths, heated tables and the perfectly spherical balls and potting and screwing back is so easy in comparison they forget that the old guys in the 70s were real masters of safety play way beyond anything you see today.
John Pullman particularly was essentially a billiards player and his safety play was really exceptional as was Ray Reardon and John Spencer (I remember Spencer needing 7 snookers and getting them). Any one of them was better at safety play than anyone today.
Big fan of Steve Davis but Stephen Hendry would never have missed that black. Hendry had the best temperament which is why he won more world titles. Davis's positional play was exceptional. The reason he was considered boring is he hardly ever lost the cue ball and so many of his pots looked easy. White used to spray the cue ball all over the place and consequently often had to do something really exceptional to keep going but of course, you can only do that so many times and that's why he always lost the world championship.
Ronnie is the greatest talent. To paraphrase Guardiola, 'He sits at the table alone' but he still lost to Hendry in the day because of temperament.
I mean, find a video of the great Joe Davis playing. Watch the ball bobble along and see how quickly it stops after he hits it. There was no way anyone was going to screw back down the table on that cloth, plus the bias on the cloth was way more important because the pile was a lot longer. They just didn't have the range of shots open to them and getting even 40 was a major challenge so naturally, they had to be good at safety play.
Steve Davis is a bit before those three guys talking, and he grew up playing on those awful old tables which is why his cue ball control was so good. His safety play was excellent but I'll bet if they'd asked him he'd have picked one of the guys I mentioned at the beginning as the best because he actually played against them when they were great.
Maybe but long potting wasn't as good then so a good safety shot back then won't always cut it now.
yes it was a surprise that someone like Reardon or Thorburn or one of those guys wasn't mentioned in terms of safety but it wasn't a serious discussion just a bit of fun during the mid session interval with the three guys giving their opinions
Surprised Ronnie did not give Reardon a mention.
Yep. People seem to think Snooker was invented in 1992. Silly segment. For wallies.
Yeah and Steve Davis learned from a snooker book written by one of the old guys. He learned his trade in the backstreet bars where one could easily get beat up for winning all the money lol.
Jimmy white’s hate for hendry is ridiculous! He will never get over it.
They are good friends lol.
Ronnie's hate for Selby the same way lol.
Owen Wilson hosting. "WOW"
???
@@user-uc6vs9wf5b
Relevant H2H stats between the GOAT Ronnie vs Hendry. Its upsetting,and i know that!
Read & weep,and tell me whats more embarrassing than this, Judd cheerleader?
Ronnie vs Hendry....9-4 to Ronnie in 13 finals they played..9-8 to Ronnie in Semi Finals
4-4 in QF.....2004/8 WSC Semi Finals is all you need to know about Stephen Hendry
Ronnie tore him two new ones where the sun don't shine! 17-4 and 17-6
He is still playing because he can,and did not cry Wolf like princessyips aka Stephen Hendry
Hendry femboy envious that the GOAT Ronnie O'Sullivan is still World 1 and has won more ranking & major titles than Hendry will ever win! Absolutely hilarious!
Your other mugmate Judd Trump got destroyed 10-3 by the great Irish Warrior Mark Allen 🏆👍
@@user-uc6vs9wf5b Irish on Eurosport snooker right about now Haha!
Ronnie to Judd: you are the future. Judd: You said it more than 10 times,and yet i cant win a second World or UK title to save my life! 👍
Omg I'm dying mate 😂😂😂
oh he's such a dork, I bet Ronnie secretly wanted to punch him. None of them would go out with him for a drink he's the whitest black man I've ever seen.. So funny
Bring back David Vine! Where did they get this bloke from, some uni bar?
Sadly the late great David Vine, died on 12 January 2009, of a heart attack aged 74.
"OH WOW" 😭😂
why isn't someone like Allan McManus doing this interview? Did this guy even play the game?
because of multiculturism and ethnicity brainwashing. I'm not sure if they allow former players to present but this presenter is surely a clueless empty vessel for sure.
No, he did a piece years ago when they were breaking him into the snooker presenting. And he nearly fell over when someone showed him how to do screw back. And said Wow!
@@nigefal He's an idiot period! It really does sound like a teenager interviewing older men. Is that an onion, yes it is! WOW that's cool! Onions are cool!
@@nigefaljealousy is mental
Because it's eurosport but what your witnessing is multiculturism being shoved down your throat.. All these TV channels are nothing more than leftist PR spin machines now. Modern day spell casting machine forcing multiculturism on us. All the presenters have to be irish, welsh, scottish, black or indian now. Your not allowed to be english any more.
Anthony Hamilton is quite an under rated player, on his day very tough to beat.
😂
Is that you Anthony??
On his day yes but that’s once every 5 years!
Lol
Best nickname.
Cliff thorburn is a outstanding safety player.
😂
IMO…
Break Building - Ronnie O’Sullivan
Temperament - Mark Williams
Safety/Tactics - Mark Selby
Cue Action - Neil Robertson
All round game - John Higgins
Will to win - Stephen Hendry
*was difficult to decide between Robertson & Murphy for cue action and O’ Sullivan & Hendry for break building. People forget that although Hendry has dropped down on the all time list of centuries made, when he was in his pomp there were far fewer tournaments, maybe only 6/7 a season so to make nearly 800 centuries was an incredible feat!
The stats show that Stephen Hendry’s average for centuries was one every 15 frames played. Ronnie, Neil Robertson, and Judd Trump all average one century every 10 frames. Even Mark Selby has a better rate than Stephen Hendry, at one every 13.8 frames played. It’s one stat that shows how the standards have risen since the 1990’s.
@@johnp515 wow ok never would have thought that!
That’s the list most people would agree (including me). I think.
@@johnp515 I ain’t buying that, especially if you take Hendry’s prime years, the real Hendry from 1990-2000.
@@thesmithsnerd The real Hendry could cope with risen standards. Ask yourself why he couldn't win after 1999.
Ronnie showing disrespect to Mark Selby saying his best two at safety play are Mark Williams and Graham Dott. The same Mark Williams that couldn't beat Ronnie in something like 10 years. While Selby has tied him up in knots and beaten him loads of times torturing hin with his safety. Yea sure Ronnie lad Williams is a better safety player than Selby.
That question wasn’t about safety it was about table IQ.
@@dublinsfaircity definitely wasn’t
Check head to head. Ronnie smacks up femboy Selby
If both at peak Stephen Hendry of 1990s vs Mark Selby of 2010s on a World Snooker championship final would be a total delight.
noone beats hendry of 90s, dude was on fire.
Hendry defeats Selby the way Brecel did in this years final.
Ronnie wins 😊
@@thegaffer9616what's Ronnie got to do with anything you muppet
A bore fest
Tempremant: Mark Selby
Break Buliding : Ronnie O'sullivan
Safety Play : Steve Davis
Potting: Neil Robertson
Determination: Peter Ebdon
Flair: Tony Drago.
Alex Higgins was jimmys mate for years , now its ronnie , you can see the respect they have for each other. Great stuff, what a shame jimmy never became world champion.
I think Ronnie is a very underrated safety player.
Wow. The host. We know why he got the job…
Tick boxes ✅
Actual racism, giving someone a job based on their ethnicity.
Which snooker player can/could screw the ball back, the biggest distance? I would say, It's between Jimmy, Judd, Ronnie and Alex Higgins
White or Trump.
Spencer, Parrot.
Ronnie can't play those shots from distance, he's never even attempted them. Alex Higgins and Spencer, Jimmy and Trump were the greatest at screw back from distance, Spencer and Higgins were doing them the full length of the table and back up to the blue spot on old 1970s tables with heavier cloths and balls. That's cuemanship - Ronnie doesn't have that.
Break Building - Willie Thorne
Charisma - Alex Higgins
Safety - Terry Griffiths
Temperament - Bill Werbeniuk
Lol are you taking the piss 😂
Best safety player, the original grinder Cliff Thorborne. You can have a shower and come back and still not finished the frame.
🤣🤣🤣
Radzi is the best in the category of not having a clue
ROTFL best comment of the day, pissed my pants laughing.
Graham Dott? Come on Ronnie! 😂
This was very cringey . They all knew what this segment was about but it looked so awkward and you could tell the pros just wanted it to end . The last bit was especially embarrassing .
I like radzi, good listener , genuinely wants to learn about the sport but he’s just too young and inexperienced with snooker , hence his questions and reactions .
I miss the days of past Eurosport presenters. They had good banter with pundits and players
He has no place being a snooker presenter. Square peg in a round hole
To be fair, Ronnie and JImmy are hardly the most articulate or tv-suitable of pundits.
Well, the presenter doesn't look or sound qualified, it's like they pulled him off the street and handed him a mic. Eurosport is trash, it has zero standards. And I agree, it seems like the players are all being dishonest or bullshitting. So cringe-worthy.
I’m sure the host has been given this high status, high reward job based entirely on merit.
I think the host needs to learn a bit more about authenticity
and snooker
Natural Talent: O'Sullivan
Maximums: O'Sullivan
Titles/Major Tournaments: O'sullivan
Longevity:O'Sullivan
G.O.A.T: Peter Ebdon
Why would any man want to be called a fcking goat? I'd rather be called a shark or a lion. I don't want to be named after an animal that eats clothes off of some poor mother's washing line lol.
Oh wow!
Temperament : Hendry
Break building: Ronnie
Safety: Davis
Davis, Hendry, Higgins, Williams & O'Sullivan all at their very best.... Hendry comes out on top, the mentally strongest of them all. The other four have certain frailties.
How on earth does this kid present snooker
After the man himself Ronnie it’s Stephen Hendry
No way Williams for temperament. Had too much of a thing of massively bottling it v Rigsby for years. Seemed to lose about 15 meetings in a row..which shouldn't happen.
Ronnie always talks about Higgins' break building.
Yeah, and Ronnie has the most centuries, the most 147s, the most ranking titles so I'd guess he's just trying to be humble. Not only that, he's after pulling out of so many games so that's a disadvantage to Ronnie but he still keeps on breaking records.
There’s a reason if you look one down from Ronnie you’ll find John in all the scoring records.
Temperment you say , where's Peter Ebdon 😅
Why have they got a cbeebies presenter doing the snooker?
Nice one 😀👍
😂👍
I keep thinking he's going to elaborate after "WOW", but nope.
Ray Reardon Come on lads
Safety Selby
Long potting Robertson
Black spot Ding
Remember that year when Mark Williams never lost a third round match
People complaining about the host. I’d say the pundits are more dead. Hosts is at least trying. Pundits laid back, no enthusiasm. Especially Ronnie. It was a good question this. Picking the best in each department. And pundits ruined it.
I’ve seen tennis and football so this, they do it much better.
Well because you are the host and this is your sock account, we'd all be expecting this type of a comment from you lol.
Alan Mcmanus snooker IQ
I was thinking that too 😂
Nobody likes the way Selby plays - he’s like the Djokovic of tennis.
Djokovic was only "boring" to watch in the mid 2010s when he was at his athletic peak and played the percentage game.
Otherwise he played quite an aggressive tennis as a youngster and now the last 4 years he is blasting forehands trying to shorten the points.
He was statistically the best ranked offensive player of 2023 for instance.
Selby doesnt make Jimmys best temperament despite the fact he has won 4 world titles. Ok
It's not Mark Williams! He used to have a worried and a stressed sweating face, believe in the early 00s!!!!!
Long potting - Neil Robertson
Safety - Mark Selby
Temperament - John Higgins
Break Building - Ronnie O’Sullivan
Power - Judd Trump
Creativity - Mark Williams
Showmanship - Ronnie O’Sullivan
Very well put 😊👍
For long pots it's Williams, Robertson,Trump and Hendry. Safety is Davis and Selby. Temperament is Williams, Selby and Hendry. Breakbuilding has to be Ronnie, Trump and Hendry. Power is Trump. Creativity? Hendry, Bracelet and O'Sullivan. For showmanship you could have Ronnie, White, Alex Higgins or Trump. Jimmy is the forgotten man in all of these categories but he was an amazing player in his prime. I would certainly nominate him in the flair and showmanship category.
Overall? Ronnie, Hendry, Selby and Higgins but who knows where Trump will feature once he has finished his career. He's certainly knocking on the door of greatness.
Hendry has won so much and he doesnt get a mention? Ha
Break building (in his day)
@Michael020 it's eurosport that's why mate. Mickey mouse coverage full of Ronnie's cheerleaders. It's embarrassing.
@@Michael020 6.59% .Meaning Hendry made a every 16 frames.. 3 Players make tons every 10 frames.
This host.
Oh wow.
I’m a huge rocket fan but for long potting has to be Williams or Neil. Power has to go to trump. Break building - Ronnie
Give you a game of badminton Ronald I’ll pump you silly, my aggressive smashes.
Diversity appointment just kept saying 'wow' to everything...
I bet he wasnt even into snooker before , and probably isnt now
jesus you have one at this end yawning every 5 seconds, Ronnie looks like he might have had a stroke but some how came back in order to give responses, jimmy just looks like Jimmy. Something needs to change with these chats
Every time ronnie answered his questions he just went wow !! , like arse licking ronnie , what a sausage 😂
Selby is an elite by anyone's standards, consistency, safety/tactics, bottle...overall he's a better player than Williams and he's totally out of Dotts League altogether...he deserved a more robust backing here but the host is clueless, Ronnie is Ronnie and Jimmy is just a Ronnie simp.
Someone phoned in sick.
Everyone always acts like Selby is the new kid of the block. He turned pro in the 90s ffs. Even Trump has been a pro 18 years.
Hiroshima head going "Oh yeah, wowww" like he understands what they're talking about.
Ronnie not mentioned as much coz he doesnt like me tioni g his own name, and jimmy doesnt mention Henry in all categories coz he is a tad bitter.
Wow
O’Sullivan? Temperament? You’ve got to be having a laugh.
I’ve heard better debates about cheese
Get Rachel Casey in there, far better than Radzi
Get a proper host instead of box ticking
Is ronnie OK ? Everyone make sure he's OK ffs .
Enforced boring chat
Jimmy is still upset with the beating he took from Hendry, because Stephen was the best apart from Ronnie
When you get the gig due to skin colour it stands out a country mile. This fella is hapless.
Notice Ronnie doesn't mention a fellow English player, when he's talking up others. He mentions, Higgins, Hendry, Williams and Dott.
What an utterly pointless point
I've heard him mention Selby before, and they've actually been seen chatting after games too. They have to keep their distance though and it's hard for Selby with Ronnie winning the 777 triple crowns as nobody else has done it.
was hoping i'd see other people commenting on the host and was not disappointed. must be embarrassing for the 3 (ex) players to be chatting with this guy. jesus
OHHHH WOWWWW OK
Jimmy needs some air
Who is the host?? Needs to find a new job on NICKELODEON, very hard to watch that
Not an o level between the 3 of them
Ronnie GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Ronnie's a Lion mate, he doesn't eat clothes off of a washing line, and he's not a headbanger. lol
Lad needs a hair cut
Weird answers
O'Sullivan looks like someone who's been told they have 2 weeks to live
Wow!!! (What a pr1ck)
Watch Selby i sleep
This presenter is not up to the task. Imagine if Steve Davis was the main presenter for Eurosport Snooker.
Looks like Neal’s been stealing jimmy’s and Ronnie’s lunch again.
Ronnie?? Wtf for temperament?? .. maybe because he's sat next to him as he's said class of 92 . Not a chance 😃
Look at their faces 😂
Mark Williams safety play? The guy was known for throwing away games because his safety was so average. Best safety player would have to go to the obvious players like Mark Selby and Stephen Hendry in their prime. Mark Williams does not have the best temperament as if he did, he wouldn't have choked in so many quarter, semi and finals The best players of their era was Steve Davis, Steven Hendry, , John Higgins but Ronnie is the master of them all having one 41 ranking tournaments. You've got to throw in Mark Selby too, he's got four world championships a nightmare for any opponent because of his temperament, his safety game and his all round game. Trump needs a better mentality and temperament as the lack of these traits is what's preventing him from winning more triple crowns.
john higgins is the worst match fixer cuz he got caught
I don't want to alarm you Jimmy but something strange has landed on your head.
This is cringe. Thank God I don't have Eurosport!
