I've always love that you didn't add some stupidly heavy or over enthusiastic background music.
This is perfectly how snookers should be enjoyed.
agree
That's because Snooker and Golf are not remotely adrenaline based
What i prefer the most is the audience reactions. It makes everything besides the talent of snooker players.
I would've liked your comment but it's at 911

Use lower case "s" in the word "snooker".
I'd love to see a snooker tournament where a few beers were involved and everybody lightened up a bit.
Darren Tipple
Big Bill W
( I’m not attempting second name spelling 😂 )
Basically, snooker in the 80s.
That's how it was at one time when snooker was worth watching. Big Bill Rubberneck (easier to spell lol) had to have at least five pints of beer before he could play if I remember correctly. He was, I think, also the only player that could take beta blockers (legally) to calm his nerves too before his matches
@@andrewdrabble8939 I think Werbeniuk (again, not too sure of the spelling if that's wrong) had a medical condition which was alleviated by something in beer
@@LaneyStudios5 I'm gonna tell my missus I suffer from the same thing.
These flukes and the occasional banter are why I love the sport.
That and the amazing clearances, the century breaks, and the tension when players are battling for every point and snookering each other.
Plus the smell of the crowd!
It's so great to see them having a laugh sometimes, especially with each other. All such great players.
Thanks mate
That first sequence with John and Mark was one of the most incredible series of shots I've ever seen. Not a hairs difference on any of them, even the last successful escape shot. Wow!!!
search on youtube a braziliam snooker player called "Baianinho de Maua", like Ronaldinho, she's nickname is "Bruxo"(Wizard)
I did and it sucks, nowhere near the level in this vid @@oanother3610
You gotta give the referees credit for being able to return the balls to their previous spots well enough for the same foul-and-a-miss to happen three times in a row!
7:55 i love William’s comment on his shot. So damn honest. 👍🏽
The no-looker lmao
I don't even know what a snooker is... But here I am
Basically, unlike Pool Billiard in Snooker you are required to play specific balls. As long as red balls are there, you have to play red -> any color -> red -> any color etc. (though most pro's will only target the color giving the most points). Once all red balls are gone, you have to sink the colored balls in order of their point value.
The important thing here is that the cue ball mustn't touch any ball other than the one you're going for. A snooker is a position your enemy puts you in where you have no clear shot on the ball you need to play.
@@Suthek legend
@@Suthek thank you
@@Suthek For most common games on a pool table you have to play specific balls as well. 9 ball you have to hit the balls in numeric order (same as 10 ball.) In 8 ball you have to hit stripes or solids. The only games I can think of where you aren’t required to hit specific balls are straight pool and one pocket (I’m sure there’s more though.)
@@Frank7489 I didn't know about 9 ball, and 8 ball, yes, full or stripes to determine your balls. But you're still free to hit any ball of those you choose. In snooker, the colored balls give different point values and as I said, pro's will likely only target the color giving the most points. So every second shot, there is exactly ONE ball you can/should play; once the red ones are gone, every shot you can play exactly one ball. That's what I meant with specific balls.
The Higgins snooker escape attempt was hilarious.
It was, remember watching that match. Petty he couldn’t show a bit of good humour and civility at 45s on Barry Hawkins’ dodgy escape though. That’s Higgins though innit; dark horse!
Almost as good as the one Ronnie took a fistful of attempts at... Though should really have been "easier" (still nasty)
The most hilarious I've ever seen, actually.
Yeah, 300,000 laughs....
Mark Williams is such a gem
Phil Mitchell
Saw you looking a bit rough too when you were tooting them rocks, Phil.
He’s a really nice guy. Very down to earth
"Wasn't even looking man!"
As opposed to Ali Carter who thinks he deserves flukes and no-one else does...
What was they doing at 1:32?
@@jordangeorgiou2757 Repositioning the balls. If a player fouls and the umpire thinks they could have made a shot that would not foul, the opponent has the option to make the player attempt a shot again, if the foul shot moved balls, like the brown here, the umpire places them back in the original position. On televised matches, they use a still shot to help the umpire get the balls as close to the original position as possible.
As a football manager once said, "I don't believe in luck, but I do believe you need it".
up there with the time john bond said "im not going to call him a utility player but hes a utilty player"
I do believe in luck even you have 100% skills.
I've also heard "You can't count on luck, but luck always counts"
Prepare for ramming speed!
That makes absolutely no sense, is he Irish?
@@redblade8160 I don't know if he's Irish, but it really does sound like it😂
Don't know why i love watching these, takes me back to my own time
3:25 this sequence - the stiff upper lip laugh and 'thats oone way of getting out of snookers', dotts facial expression, the referee going 'settle down please' - is by far the most british thing ive seen in a while
Only would have been better if one of the players called a foul on themselves that the referee missed. That's one thing I love about snooker, you see players doing that even at the highest levels and most competitive matches.
Why did he get 2 retakes from the same position after he potted the cue ball?
@@av.keshavshastry7785 In Snooker you get points (usually four, but can be more if a higher value colour was played first) when your opponent fouls. You then have the option of playing on from the position your opponent left the table in or having them retake the shot. The second option is often taken when it is very difficult for your opponent not to foul in the hopes of being awarded more foul points on their next attempt (and if it's not easy for you to play on from the position your opponent left the balls in after their foul).
I don't know how to play this game or even how to shoot, yet i enjoyed the video, what a great community snooker has
11:32 the tiny applause he got for that was so comical.
I have no idea why the algorithm brought me here I don't even know the rules of snooker.
The eternal positivity of Dennis Taylor is my life goal.
Ronnie o Sullivan is just fantastic.......... Very confident n brilliant players. Stunns everyone with his flicks
... especially when he is picking his boogers on camera.
"flukes"
John Higgins on the brown. Match fixing no doubt 🤣
Yeah...300,000 attempts.
This was brilliant. Really well edited & a pleasure to watch. Thank you. :-)
The third shot (from 8:35) had me in tears - not exaggerating. The three attempts were like a comedy skit! A snooker shot never made me laugh as much...
The dude telling everyone to quiet down started to pass me off lol
4:46 "quiet down" guy has been given too much power to handle .. still shouts it even when the crowd goes quiet on it's own
Someone tell John Higgins that doing the same thing every time and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity 🤪
You are completely out of line here
I think you’ll find that was JH 😊👍
Not in chemistry it isn’t
You break a Selby snook... Selby snooks you again. Infinite loop.
You know the games is actually called snooker right?
I'm often very biased towards great pots against great safety but this compilation was really excellent... Even if I had seen John Higgins' 3 in-offs more than once before!
👀
With that last one - Perry's thinking, "Yeah right Ronnie. As if you need any luck ..."
I have absolutely no idea how this works, I have no idea what's going on when the ball just keeps bouncing around and then barely touches another one, but it's amazing, and satisfying
Somehow the older I get, snooker gets more entertaining to watch
"If you think that I played that in..." IMO it takes a great player !!
hahaha, Mark Williams' look at 0:15 "Did I really just pull that off?" :D
I've never even heard of snookers, and yet here I am
The repeat clip I actually watched that match live. That was a great crowd and a great competitor. Everyone was having a great time.
13:27 On the last clip O'Sullivan didn't just fluke the yellow, he also fluked the position on the green. There you have it ladies and gentlemen, 2 flukes for the price of 1. What more could you ask for?
Even in flukes, O'Sullivan is the best lol
@@Box0rz he sure is. O'Sullivan is what you call "a great all-round player"
Dennis Taylor seems to commentate on every snooker match in existence.
Best commentator in snooker in my opinion
As the great Alex Higgins use to say..."My records don't show that ive won much because i play for the love of the game and to entertain the public/crowd/fans" And thats why he is The People's Champion !!!!!!
0:34 "needs a bit of good fortune here!"
Proceeds to get the most good fortune! Nice
The commentators say something humorous and the crowd start laughing, then the ref tells them to settle down please 🤣 Everyone's happy when all playing their part
It's good to have quiet smirks in your repertoire for just such occasions.
Totally cool
Its 3am...this came up in my recommended.
I have no clue what snooker is or how its played
I'm you but it's 2 for me
Yoo me too
For me 3:26
It's 6:16 am here z
Sounds like you've gone far too deep in the TH-cam vortex then...
Hello!
Yes
Hey! :)
Hi
Hi sexy
hey there!
There's no such things as flukes in Ronnie's dictionary. He just enables GOD MODE on.
Saving the best till last: Ronnie’s fluke of the decade!
When I play, I only play lucky shots
A snooker is when you have left your opponent in a situation where he is unable to directly hit the next object ball with the cue ball.
Bravo.
Fun stuff. 😁Thanks for the upload
That Maguire shot at 13:00 is absolutely incredible. It's the only really safe spot on the entire table.
i don't even know what's happening, but it's entertaining
1-st video? awesome!!!
Selby was on the receiving end of a lot of those flukes and took them all well to be fair to him.
Foul and a miss, Mark Selby 4
its 2am and i dont play snooker yet here i am. youtube recommended strikes again
8:23 that owman is not impressed AT ALL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man Snooker is such a chill sport.
👏👏👏 *Quiet.*
👏👏 _Quiet please._
👏 Settle down!
That's ENOUGH!!
I don’t even know what this game is or how it’s played, but I’m enjoying watching the videos.
'Funny' Escapes From Snookers - rarely have I ever laughed so much.
I'll never forgive myself for missing Williams' blind green. Had tickets for first and second sessions of the game and had to leave early because I had work the next day. If I'd stayed, I would have seen one of the most amazing shots the Crucible had ever witnessed :(
Amazing flukes you should say
@@SnookerPlanet "You should" by the same token include flukes that left the/an object ball dangling over the pocket.
Life lesson. You can sleep when your dead.
Perhaps leave the tickets for fans who wish to be there for full session.
Higgins vs Selby is my favourite :))
Mark Williams shot was Epic
Ronnie's yellow and to the green. Brillant shoot.
They have to “calm the crowd down” because they all get “to exited” 🤣🤣
X-gamer Pro excited*
@@predictivetextisforaunts *too
@X-gamer Pro too excited*
Ouch ..😅
Really...they all left?
Refs with OCD lol.
It is like watching myself play...enjoyed that
11:15 escape was unbelievable 😳..huge respect for short
As an American, I wish snooker was more popular over here. I love all the American pool variations, but I think snooker is fascinating as something different and I’d play it if I could find a place that had a table
Most Americans could never handle the relatively slow pace of the game.
Or that defensive, cerebral, and positional play are critical aspects of the game.
@@jeffsutton6353 I don't what you're talking about. Snooker tables are rare because they are expensive, I know of only one domestic manufacturer, and they are a small scale custom shop that takes months to make. I discovered snooker because one bar had a STAR table and I discovered it in the corner on accident.
@@jeffsutton6353 the American past time is baseball, the most boring sport to watch except possibly golf. Are you seriously trying to claim Americans won't watch boring sports? The only non-turn based sport watched in America is basketball. They don't watch soccer or any other sport that requires you to actually pay attention haha. Offer up some cheap beer and a snooker tournament would be packed. I honestly think it's fair to say Americans prefer boring sports so they can drink more during the game 😂
I reckon Ali Carter is the most unsportsmanlike player in snooker, he never raises his hand to apologize when he has a massive fluke but he gets all grumpy when someone else does.
henry mcdonnell why apologizing for flukes
Maybe saying that he doesn’t raise his hand to acknowledge a fluke is fair. I’ve never warmed to him either tbh, I respect he has health issues etc but he often does come across as a moody sod 😆
He always comes across as a whiny little bitch. About to cry there before Parrot came back with a diplomatic comment. How Selby gets so much hate over that lad I’ll never know.
No need too apologise for flukes... when you get them, you need too make the most of them and punish your opponent... cant beat a good fluke lol... everyone gets em...
@@leeredford1028 No need, yes, but you can't complain if they do the same to you. That's what Henry's saying.
These gents look like they would be a fun group at the pub.
Thanks for the laughs during this stay at home Pandemic!
When Ronny "flukes" , he still gets position on the next ball... 🐐
Exactly why it's fluke of the decade
I think this is one thing Snooker (and pool in general) has that few sports have: The chance for laughs and smiles, tongue-in-cheek as they may be sometimes.
It’s not what you do,it’s how you do it.I am a follower of snooker.The best
snooker I have seen,was when Jimmy White was snookered.The only
option for Jimmy was to hit the white ball up the table from the side,
and to hit the ball he wanted to,which was up the other end of
the table.He did it.
what a good video, great and fun shots
How did I find this in my recommended?
And why did I love it
Same? I don’t even watch pool?
Billy Liang *snooker
it found you
Классная подборка...
Mark Williams cracks me up _I wasn even lookin man_
Fund morristown
Oh damn, these are great.
Ello everyone! Here from the recommended page. I have no clue what's going on but it's cool.
I'll never get over McLeod's sponsor
pretty unfortunate name
@@JakeLesser i was like "what the hell did that spell??"
What is it
Snookers really outclass himself in this one
Haha, Poor Higgins 3 times still the same result ha? Haha
Stephen Maguire sure knows how to work a crowd.
Donaldson shot 11.20 unbelievable
Idk what’s going on but this looks cool af
Wonderful Snooker !
what about Jack Lisowski's shot in final scottish open? lol
I don't know
That one with John Higgins going in-off the brown into the left centre pocket has been on loads of different compilations.
Ali Carter's double kiss fluke from a snooker 😂🤣👌🏼👌🏼
I love how the crowd sounds like they're in Wii Sports.
i feel like some tea after watching this
Замечательные ребята.
that crowd is amazing tho)
7:47 Stephen Hendry calling Mark Williams' WC win
Dude did it 3 times 😅
1:01
1:37
2:02
He is a pro
Fair play to Mark for calling it a fluke.
6:03 Allen imitated what Selby did when he played a similar shot against Ricky Walden on a different occasion, but I'm surprised that here he didn't retaliate by stamping the floor!
Ken Doherty's laugh at 5:40 hahahahaha
Mark Williams reaction to his fluke! Just lol.
WHAT A FLUKE!!!! no that's skill my man
every time watching higgins's escape makes me laughed.
That double kiss into the side by Mr. Bean was amazing.
sullivan's last one was so good, even the cueing for the green ball was so good, for all we know, maybe sullivan wanted to make that shot, and if he didnt, its ok. but he did.
The last clip. Not only did Ronnie O'Sullivan fluke the yellow, but he also fluked position on the green too! Two flukes for the price of one.
