Yeah he'll just be talking normal THEN START FUCKING SHOUTING out of nowhere

Haha that's so accurate

That's Sid waddle of the north east of England who was one of those rare people who had a natural ability for commentary 😋 I'm from around the same area and I have to tell you that the way he's talking & pronouncing words, that he is putting on a more proper accent so that you and the rest of the American/Canadian audience can understand ALL that he is saying, he had some of the greatest one liners ever when he was commenting on the darts 🎯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Please please have a look for: Sid Waddle top 10 commentaries and you'll see what I mean 👍🏼👍🏼

Sid was a legend in the darts world. The yank commentator is a nightmare, “snucker”.

He is the best. Something for other commentators to learn.

Yeah and brought a weird contraption called a Batman bridge

Well Davies style was a hit in the 70's.

@@lemmingbcn aw jeez, I would have said nothing rather than that.

Gotta "do it for Dale!!"

Both of them sporting “Swedish porn star” look

Very true

Because snooker is dumb

@@THEBURNZINATOR 🤣🤣🤣 butt hurt

You wont see professional pool players change to snooker they find it boring compared to pool

Classic American. Pool is shite and requires no skill, snooker is the complete opposite

Pun intended?

@@leapbeforeyoulook201 the balls bit?

hahah what a plonker

Takes ‘9 balls’

He also has the eye of a genius and the execution of a tiger apparently. Whatever that means.

He was like "straight face, straight face" sees Ronnie's laughing and breaks the face😂

No chance that's a massive fluke face 😂😂

Davis is a funny guy, in his own uniquely 'interesting' way.

That is because he is the uk snucker champ. xD

It's like bringing a knife to a gunfight and still prevailing.

Pool cues are like toys compared to a real handmade snooker cue.

@@leonardhpls6 rolls Royce vs fiesta! However with that being said the pool cues tech has improved massively in last 20 years and even snooker players would use a pool cue now

i always play american or english pool with a snooker cue. Just so much better control. Ronnie is only making a potentially fatal mistake by breaking the balls with a small tip as it can easily damage it. Other than that, snooker cue > pool cue. Always

Snooker* it's a different type of way to play billiards that requires a lot more focus and patience

@@Whateverhappenshappens7 whooshhhhhh 🙄😆

Smucker's JELLY. With crunchy peanut butter baby.

Yes, that is what they keep talking about.

It's the real cue sport American players could never master because they have their heads up their arse.

They are the only ones whose haircuts fit the time. The rest is all over the place.

Obviously, you would like to chalk their buts

Yeah man the memories 😄

effren would've been more like it

I think you got it a little backward. Earl has always liked playing fast and loose, as seen in his other matches. You can see this quite clearly in this very match, at 7:37 after Ronnie took what seemed like 2 hours with his shot, Earl just casually walked up and clear out the table with little hesitation, even with full table kick shots like at 9:15.

No. Earl has always played like this. Ronnie and earl are two of the most identical players I’ve ever seen. Short tempered, fast and elegant play, and sharp shooting skills. If earl ever practiced a little snooker he would give Ronnie a good run for his money

@@LostinYTblackhole You obviously don't understand the various dynamics relating to stance, line of sight, touch points, cue delivery etc. If Strickland practiced snooker for the next 10 years he wouldn't have the skillset to take even a frame from O'Sullivan. The characteristics required to play the game successfully need to be formed at an early development stage. Jason Shaw was a half decent snooker player who decided to play pool because his game just wasn't good enough. And I can assure you, he would struggle to take a single frame from a top 50 ranked snooker player.

@@truthsayerq7264 couldnt agree more. Earl wouldnt stand a chance, especially with his cue motion lol

Delicious wasn't it

Amazing operation

The right sentence is without "the" 🙂

Don't they both put it on the thin end? Anywhere else seems unproductive. :-/

@@MrJdsenior Snooker players keep it in their vests haha

And the size of the tip, pool.

Golf and mini golf is still golf. Snooker players here are not. Playing snooker at all😅😅😅

Is he a good snooker player? Because overall he looks like he's horrible at any form of billiards.

@@joemac999 6 time world champion and one of the greatest to ever play the sport, pool can’t even compete with the level of snooker as well

i would’ve assumed copyrighted music to blame

I’m sure it’s the music, but I surely appreciate a break from the insane yelling

Hey, that's Sid you're talking about. Music to our ears. 😛

No, we can't.

All the countries that have snooker think exactly the same

The point in all this i think is we has see snooker player play pool but why not pool player in snooker tables ? That would be so interesting to see

@@LOREMIG I always thought that but it will be the longer game ever they will do really bad snooker is alooooot harder than pool they will not get a single ball

You kids haven't got a clue. It's like apples and oranges. Anyone half decent at snooker respects pool players. I'm from England and love snooker before you start

@@leonardhpls6 yeah true, snooker and pool are different things....... Big boy

Ron Jeremy in drag. How can anybody miss. Pockets size of craters.that american ..what would ronnie do the clown on a snooker table😂😂😂😂😂

U@@jimmymalone9139

EVERY year is porn stache year in.... 'MURICA! hell, it should be on the flag ffs

So,how can one differentiate pool and snooker in terms of difficulty and shot variety??

If they were playing snooker Davis and ronnie would win every frame. Snooker far harder to master.

@@renias8965 Pool hit and hope, on 1st break. Same variety with cue ball spin. Snooker lot more on skill, safety play, potting. You play snooker move to pool table like WTF, how can any one miss.

@@blmagic2563 And then you sit in front of your computer to witness one of the snooker greats potting two flukes in a single run missing those huge pockets by three inches...hit and hope!

@@claus191272 exactly snooker fans talk shit.

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nope.

I was thinking the same, how on earth that ball diviate

He prolly has some side on the cue ball

Another shot at 38:20 in the same area has the ball moving the same way.

@@polarbear4612 Yep I saw the pink aswell. That ball was making a big turn towards the cushion.

One camera angle was in line with the long rail and you could see both long rails angled into the center pocket. It's looked to be over a 1/4" out of straight allingment

Except that that is a terrible and over exaggerated analogy. Snooker is way harder than 9 ball but they both share all the sane fundamentals. Unlike baseball and cricket, which are so vastly different.

@@jeffreyyoungblood7438 not even close. Both used the same concept of throwing and hitting a ball, both have teams and fields, both have an extremely similar scoring system. Different equipment is used, different structure is employed, different countries, different mentality. Number and size balls, tables (height, length and width), pockets, rules, cues, crowds. Potting balls is about the only identical application. 2 snooker professionals (one out of prime, one with mental issues at the time) nearly beating the crap out of 2 of the best 9 ball professionals is very similar in the analogy. I could also use ping pong vs tennis, racquetball vs squash, rugby vs NFL football, etc

@everythingbobbywolfe yes, you could use those analogies, and you'd still be wrong. 😆 it's a dumb analogy. Get over it. If a cricket team went against a major league baseball team they would have absolutely zero chance of winning. The games are that different. Unlike snooker and 9 ball.

I noticed that, but the forgiving pockets made up for it.

Because pool tables are set up shortly before tourneys, and are not adjusted afterward. That's why there's not much slow rolling.

I loved that bit too - the mask just totally fell off! 😂😂😂

lol why do snooker nerds depreciate the highest level skill of pool to that of a child or a drunken patron in a bar on a house table. pool takes stupid amount of skill. any cue game does. the only precision sport/game that doesn't is darts. didn't that come from the UK...

@@quickstep2408 darts hot take

@@quickstep2408 pool doesn't allow the snooker player to use his superior skills. The table size and the game itself makes it easy for the vastly inferior player to look good. On a full size table, the pool player gets beaten every single time.

Nah, humans don’t differ that much from one side of the pond to the other. Pool players are better at kick shots and banks because they happen more in pool than snooker. Same as jump shots. Snooker players have much more focus on long shots into tight pockets and cue ball speed control. They just practice different things. The fact that snooker is a more difficult game from the start doesn’t mean the people have more talent.

Ronnie tried going to pool full time and never won any major tournaments. He said pool looks a lot easier than it is and he eventually gave up on pool and went back to snooker. I take nothing away from his talent, but comparing snooker to pool is like comparing rugby to football. They're two totally different games with completely different skill sets. Back in the 90's when I played pretty good pool we played the pool game golf with pool balls on a 5X10 snooker table. That was tough and took tremendous skill to accomplish anything. The games took a long time to finish, but man did it hone our skillsets.

Lol I was thinking the same thing :)

I think there brothers

He really is

Jan Verhass wae a Full Heed ae Hair🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And vice versa.

😂🤣😂

That’s because the snooker players have little respect for the game, Ronnie explains it like this, snooker is like playing a championship golf course, pool is like playing crazy golf

@@snookerworld2554 this is just not true at all.

@@wesfriesner2650 they don’t, and he did say that on tv

@@snookerworld2554 Yeah, if we were to start saying every controversial thing that he's said in the past we'd be here for weeks. The man has basically said that anyone below the top 16 in snooker is garbage and that he would only dip below a certain spot if he lost one hand or something. Steve Davis has treated pool more respectfully.

@@snookerworld2554 I think Ronnie has changed his opinion since. He does have appreciation for the shot making. And he recently commented that playing some pool has helped his snooker game. He also encouraged other snooker players to play it. Like Trump.

That's not true. Steve Davis had the first televised 147 in 1982. But the first official 147 was by Joe Davis in 1955. The first actual 147 was in the 1920s.

Joe and Fred Davis were something else, they basically invented the professional snooker game you could say

Stop trying to downplay their performance. They were taking this very seriously. It’s just a different dynamic for them because they never have partners and snooker is much more high class they “frown upon” having fun

The basics are pretty simple. The objective is to pot the 9 ball. Each time you visit the table you have to hit the lowest numbered ball on the table otherwise it's a foul. You can either pot that ball, or plant it onto the 9 to pot the 9, or cannon off it to pot the 9. Mostly they pot the balls in sequence, lowest to highest, finishing with the 9.

Efren Reyes and Ronnie together again on 8 ball would be interesting.

@@leeedwards6615 Yep .. against each other would be interesting but, together they'd annihilate their opponents...

@@leeedwards6615 together again...? when have they ever been on the same table? would love to see them hang out and shoot. you'd think they would've had several matches between them by now.

“ He’s moving around that table like Lynford Christie on castors” ! Cracked me up.

@@streetcat1510 hahaha the guy was pure genius and bloody funny, lynford Christie cracked me too.

If they don't cut the audio at times you won't see anything after youtube pulls it.

Com certeza. Eu sou brasileiro, então não puxo saco nem de americano e nem de inglês. Com certeza o Ronnie fez a vez da visita cordial.

Jan looked like James Bond

Aye, proper genius for a long time...🔥 edit: Blimey! That Blue @36:37from Rempe 👏 (he weren't half bad either tbf)

yawn! Don’t be that be guy! Don’t be the typical snooker fan boy who disses pool, meanwhile is watching a pool video. 🙄

@@raymondphillips7107 I grew up in the USA playing pool, and discovered Snooker just a couple years ago. Meanwhile I'm watching Ronnie & Steve give two lifelong pool players a run for their money at their own game. It's the "Strickland is God" crowd who are the fanboys.

@@wlan246 two legends and one arguably the best of all time! Playing a game that requires making balls in pockets and getting position. I guess they would be competitive. But I bet neither one could have beat Strickland in his prime in a long race.

@@raymondphillips7107 Maybe not on a pool table, but that's his game. Both are cue sports, but they require different skills. Snooker skills translate well to Pool, but Pool skills don't translate well to Snooker. A scalpel isn't ideal for cutting wood, but surgery with a hatchet is a non-starter. This is why we see Snooker players holding their own at Pool, and not vice-versa.

@@wlan246 I’m sure you know who Efren Reyes is. He has competed with and actually beat Ronnie O’Sullivan.

You are correct. Pool players wouldnt stand a chance Vs Snooker. This is something I would love to see though

Any good American snooker players? haha

@@lloydy98 There used to be a few very good Canadians. No reason why Americans couldn't become world beaters if snooker was popular there.

@@CoherentChimp alex pagulayan would be able to hold his own. has won canadian snooker titles. allison fisher was a very high ranked women's snooker player with several world snooker titles. alot of players think that she was one of the only women that would've been able to hold her own with the men. trying not to sound sexist, that's just what they've said. can't believe that UK snooker players don't want to acknowledge her... she's a legend to cue sports.

@@quickstep2408 she was a legend for the women's snooker scene but never did any good against the fellas.

Yer having a laugh.

there are other better american/canadian professional pool player candidates that actually play snooker really well to choose from

I really wished Snooker would become more popular in America. It's the way more interesting game.

@@chakko007 Its exciting like UFC is exciting. I love the fights until both men start spooning each other. I love snooker and break building, until its 40 min of safety shots to the balk line.

@@lonewolf604 snooker is much more of a skill showcase even if its just '40 min of safety shots'. This game is just aiming in the general direction of the bucket sized pockets, of course its exciting when you can't miss lmfao

They do that so that they do not interfere with their snooker. No other reason

Even the commentator is stopped by laughing at the haircut :-)

American pool in general is a kids game, the pockets are huge, the balls and cues are larger allowing for more spin and accuracy, compared to english pool it isnt that impressive nevermind snooker

@@benjamin5937 both take years to get good at, don't make it sound like pool is so easy anyone can win. Snooker is definitely a more skilled game but not by as much as you make it sound, it's not a kid's game.

Ronnie must suck if he can't even win at a kids game 😂

They would hit nothing with their closed bridge :D

Didn't Steve Mizerak have a go once against Davis and got slaughtered?

@@nikkip3385 It was quite impressive, actually. He managed to get a frame on the board. Miracles do happen, mate :)

Any of the top pool players could compete at snooker if they were so inclined; but not vice verse, generally (a few exceptions, yeah). Snooker is cerebrally easy; not so pool.

They are sooo much more than standard

The balls are too.

It was to unfair for the other players so he was only allowed to play doubles

:-) Probably you are correct. Did you see the World Cup of Pool match just played where Skyler and Billy do a hair shake at the end, with their mullets? It was hilarious. Strickland also appeared more focused and somewhat less grouchy than he is now. I don't know how he ever hits a ball in with all the drama, histrionics, and ridiculous accoutrements he employs now...but he DOES.

@@MrJdsenior i liked bustamante's pompadour more lol

It was the late Sid Waddle , he would be enthusiastic about any form of sport and made it more exciting for the viewer with his commentary ( in my opinion ) .
