Snooker Players Going Too Far For 24 Minutes Straight

Snooker players going too far for 25

minutes straight from breaking Q's.

>> Oh, he just broke his queue

>> to doing offensive actions. I don't Oh,

dear.

>> These are the moments when snooker

players went too far. Starting with Earl

Strickland banging his queue in

frustration after losing a match.

>> [laughter]

[laughter]

>> Next we have Ronnie O. Sullivan refusing

handshakes, stating he has OCD.

>> Come on, Ron. Just shake my hand.

>> Germs.

>> Before the match started with the ref.

>> I got a thing with I I mean I'm a bit

OCD with germs. So I don't open door

handles. I always have tissues on door

handles. You know I am a bit OCD like

that. So um yeah.

>> So that we've just seen that before. I

know.

>> Plus you get some heavy hand shaking

people. They go all right in. I want to

crush your hands. You're like mate. You

know I mean these are my these are my

living you know. I got to take care of

these if I ain't got these to you.

>> He is also famous for banging his cues

in frustration and anger. thoroughly.

Well, that was the concern, but it's not

happened. The queue has uh taken a bit

of punishment there.

>> Okay, thank you.

>> Sullivan one.

>> It's okay. Okay.

>> He's apologizing now to the referee.

>> And to Rob Milins, just a rush of blood.

>> Next, we have Earl Strickland going too

far with officials and his opponents in

his anger.

You I'm way more pain than you.

>> I'll tell you that right now. Way more

pain

than you'll ever get.

>> I've had eight operations. Give me

something. I never You never

>> You're the one starting it.

>> Yeah.

>> Did he threaten me or not?

>> Shoot, HOUSTON.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M BABY. DID anybody

impress me?

>> I said we could go outside.

>> Did anybody here impress me?

>> My children now taking points off both

teams.

>> Next we have Alex Higgins being drunk

and using foul language during his 1990

World Snooker Championship press

conference.

>> You can shove your snooker up your

chucket. I won't no more. I won't be

raising the queue again. I've had uh all

sorts of thrown at me by the media over

the last six, seven years. I was

supposed to be the stalwart of the game.

The guy that took all the blunt and the

kid that took all the blunt is

absolutely sick to here and further

about taking all this and I'm not

prepared to take any longer. It's

interrupting my private life, my

children's life,

few relationships, and um well, let's

see how I would do without me because I

had plenty. Good old Alex.

>> Is there no chance you reconsidering

this video?

>> No.

>> Now we have Peter Eddon dropping to the

floor after missing a shot.

Has he flooked a snooker back?

>> He has. Well, Peter drops the queue. The

chalk goes up in the air again.

Oh, he's collapsed. Well, what's that

all about, Peter? Come on.

Well, I've seen everything, Willie. What

do you mean?

>> Well, I can understand he's thinking

he's not had a lot of luck in this

match, but in fairness,

>> I don't mind throwing the old chalk up

or dropping the queue, but uh that's I

mean, people watching at home would

think uh what's

>> next? We have Curt Maflin giving the Q

ball the middle finger.

Could possibly cut it back very thin

into this left corner.

Send the cub around the table.

Alternatively, I think all he's got is a

double. So,

yeah, pop the red and just hope the cub

finds a path back to the black.

Where's the Q ball going to finish up?

Oh, that's so unlucky.

>> Unlucky.

>> 105.

>> So unlucky.

>> Fantastic. Red. Just needed to miss that

yellow. And the cub would have come down

lovely for the for the black.

Just needs to refocus now. Have a little

think. Can he not cut the pink back? The

pink would still win the highest break

of the tournament.

He knocks the blue in.

Oh, what a shame. What a fantastic

effort. Well done, K Matlin. Great

frame. Great break. Good effort. Scores

are back level eight each. What a

fantastic match we've got going here.

Captain, I have to warn you, Kim. Mind

your gestures. Okay,

>> mind your gestures. I saw that. So, I

have to warn you that next one. It was

the frame.

>> Thank you. Frame 17. David Gilbert to

break.

>> It is nothing compared to Jimmy White

giving the middle finger to the referee.

>> Oh, Jimmy White special. What a shot

that was. These

matches used to be laced with pots like

that back in the day.

>> Terrific shot.

Kiss is okay.

He's on the brown and blue ball.

>> Brown ball.

[laughter]

Jimmy, I'm going to give you a warning.

>> For sticking your finger into you, I'm

giving you a warning.

>> If you do anything for further, it will

be the flame to your opponent.

>> Well, that's a bit unfortunate. Jimmy

White obviously didn't see the funny

side of Ben Williams nominating

the wrong ball.

>> Jimmy White one.

>> Yeah, referee made a mistake calling the

blue, but

it's easy done. I mean,

don't think he meant anything by it.

>> Now we have Ronnie's self harm action

after losing a simple shot.

>> Oo, just flipped the jaw. Goodness,

>> just caught the first joy. Absolutely

fuming.

But meanwhile, this was the miss on the

black my Sullivan.

And uh you can see how annoyed he was

there.

If you love our content, do subscribe to

our channel. Now Earl Strickland is

breaking his queue in anger seed.

>> But length doesn't seem to bother the

man.

>> And he doesn't have to do anything

special with the white Jerry. Oh. Oh, he

just broke it.

>> He just broke HIS QUEUE.

>> HE'S JUST SNAPPED his queue.

>> Look at this.

>> That's an action you see all the time

from Strickland

>> and so often he's in danger of breaking

that.

>> Now we have Mark Allen throwing in the

towel after losing the game.

>> Missed that. But

>> what a performance. The towel literally

being thrown in by Mark Allen. He scored

just one point.

He congratulates Xiaoing Tong. So the

group final tonight will be a meeting of

the last two world champions. Karen

Wilson against Shaing Tong. Next, Ronnie

deliberately avoided making a maximum

break of

147

as a protest against getting a low

price. Now we have a Jimmy White and

Alex Higgins game where White threw his

queue on the floor in anger.

That could be a movie maker. Got to have

been

Put this on YouTube.

>> 89.

90.

>> You missed it.

>> You missed the column.

>> You missed what?

>> You missed the column.

>> Now we have Earl Strickland giving

offensive remarks about the women's

world championship.

>> thing you say about women playing in the

IP at this point.

>> You know, this is my world.

I can't I'm not allowed to play in their

events. So, I I'm not ever going to

agree with that.

>> This is nothing in front of his grumpy

attitude after losing a game.

>> That's before this match. And you're out

there looking for crackers, was it? I

mean, you're so calm, cool, and

collective. How do you do that?

>> You really had to bring that up. That's

amazing.

>> Uh I was just taking a walk.

>> Taking a walk.

>> Tired of being in here, but uh

>> Are you focused?

>> I really don't care.

So, how do you pick out these awesome

colors?

>> I don't have hardly any clothes. I'm

>> You do? It's either pink or green. I

mean, you're just like uh It's either

golf or

>> Believe me, I hardly got any clothes at

all. What you see is all I got.

>> Can you give us a smile, Earl? Come on.

>> Not really. I don't have nothing to

smile about.

>> Now, we have Hussein Vafi's offensive

shot against Ronnie.

>> Second frame. Hussein Vaf to break.

Settle down, please.

>> Silly really to get involved in that.

It's a world championship.

>> Yeah, that's a first for me.

three.

>> It's funny what goes on in players

minds, isn't it? I mean, just can't

believe that you play a shot like that.

Biggest biggest match of his career.

>> Ronnie simply won't care.

Just do what he's going to do. have it.

>> He also made offensive remarks in the

press conference.

>> Yeah. Uh Crucible is going to be my home

and I have to play like that. I have to

show the performance like that or like I

can play to show the people and shut

some people mouth and to show them what

can what I can do. This is just the

beginning. [music] Like I think uh my

best doesn't come out yet. If my best

come out, my a game come out, I

definitely going to

do some damage. Yeah.

>> What mouths or whose mouths are we

trying to shut?

>> Uh Ronn Sman. Yeah, he's I was quiet. I

I was respecting him and I was uh I saw

so many people sending me some interview

or something like that and he's what he

is, you know, just he's such a nice

person when he's asleep. So, and he

Yeah, just Yeah.

>> You said he was your hero, but not

anymore. Not anymore because I was

following him and uh he he's such a

legend on the sport. He's no one can

play the ster better than him.

Absolutely. He's genius and but uh in

when you go to the personal when you

following your hero, you want to be

exactly like him. So it was affecting me

and I was disrespecting my family, my

people around me. So it uh just it's

better to don't say anymore. So just uh

I prefer it to just and then as soon as

I change my hero and then I just become

more better person. I learn how to

respect the people. I know so many young

people following us. They want to become

like us. I don't want them to disrespect

their family to like when they grow up.

Oh, they use a bad word or something

like that to their family.

>> Now we have David Gilbert and Rory

Mloud's dispute over a free ball.

Dude, I can't such a long

Is that

right?

How' you roll out?

>> I can't hit the line. This side of that

without

hitting the black

first.

>> I hit the green. No, I won't. I hit the

black first. Look,

by the time I get full ball here,

you can't put that to the side.

I don't think it is. You're going to

have to get another ref if you want to

check this one.

No, I don't think it's not through ball.

>> You call someone else to check it just

to make sure.

>> No,

>> but that's not that's not wrong because

I can't hit this side of that red before

I hit

>> from over here.

>> No, no, no, no. From where it comes from

over here,

>> I cannot hit that side.

>> You're right.

>> I cannot hit that side of the red green

before I hit the black. Is that right,

David, or not?

>> I don't think that's free ball.

>> Have a look. Have a look from here.

>> I know. Have a look from here. Have a

look from here.

>> Sorry.

>> Ball's this side of the table. So you

can hit both sides. Was that side of the

table? That might be different. That

side of the green this side of the

green.

>> This side of the green.

>> I expect more from you, mate.

>> You think I'm cheating that?

>> No, I expect more from you. I do.

>> Because if you come and have a look

here, you'll see what I'm talking about.

No. Why didn't you want to have a look

there?

>> Because I can tell you for it this side.

If if it was this side, you can hit

both. You can't hit both sides.

>> I understand.

>> But as this side of the green,

>> I'm not here.

>> Yeah, but you still

>> What you're saying is right if I'm here.

>> What you're saying is right from here.

I'm over there, mate.

>> Yeah, but you still the right side of

the green.

>> It doesn't matter. I can't I can't

>> Can we just play the game, please?

>> I know, but I can't check the green.

>> I know. I can't check that in the glass

>> on the extreme edge from this side.

>> I'm not giving you free.

>> No, I've made the decision.

>> Yeah, I know.

>> Another ref will come out and check.

>> We won't come to the table. What?

Now we have Jimmy White throwing the

ball in frustration.

>> Very rare at this standard though, Ken.

You get another chance. And Jimmy really

has now got to really dig deep.

>> I don't. Oh dear.

Well,

>> I don't Oh, dear.

>> Well, Jimmy's entitled to be a little

bit frustrated. It really is. There's

nothing in the game. I've never in the

history have seen Jimmy White do that.

I've never ever seen it. He's so

frustrated.

What a terrible shame that Jimmy knows

he's playing well and unfortunately

[applause]

the emotions have got the better there.

Now let's just watch what happens here.

There's no points in the table. He's

just got the raving needle. He's just

missed two shots on the trot.

>> Next we have Matthew Selt acting like a

sore loser scaring a young player.

Oh my god.

>> 63.

Nice.

>> That's a bigger. That's a game.

68

Good luck.

Good luck.

Good crisp. Please

just

>> you please. Please.

This is nothing compared to an offensive

audience member in the Ronnie and Mark

Selby game. And we got a change in the

commentary box as we welcome Steven

Henry and Dennis Taylor who may not have

thought they were going to get on air

tonight, but it's all yours guys.

>> Thank you.

>> The 13th frame,

>> Rono Sullivan to break.

>> Yes, at one stage it didn't look as if

we were going to get to the midsession

interval.

>> All right, settle down now, please. Come

on.

>> Come on, Toby.

Definitely missed that brown.

>> All right.

>> Have been fantastic all week. There's

just one that

>> do with

[applause]

the cap on.

He will have to go out. Paul Collier has

spotted him. We don't mind them getting

involved, but we don't want him with a

cat.

>> I would maybe just give him a little

warning.

>> Well, he's I've just caught a glimpse of

him. He's he's on the mobile phone as

well.

Finish

him off when he's got.

[applause]

[cheering]

>> As we always thought, there's always

one,

>> but the crowds have been superb all

week. They really have.

>> [applause]

>> We've had some fabulous safety from both

these players and there's very little to

separate between them.

>> So, which moment is your favorite? Do

share with us in the comments section.
