Ronnie O'Sullivan - 71 - Pink Ribbon 2015

Ronnie makes a 71 break to win the frame. This was taken on 18th July 2015 at the Pink Ribbon pro-am in Gloucester.

I think I prefer these types of videos of the pros as opposed to the BBC type. You get a great view of his action - stance etc. He has this real command when he's walking around the table - like he's prowling. Great vid, thanks Barton.

[@BartonSnooker]

I agree Paul. These videos are always very useful.

[@amarsbarr]

I've watched this video so many times over the couple of years as it's nice with just one camera focused on the legend and you can watch his elbow etc carefully LOL but I didn't know Steve you recorded it. I was fortunate enough to meet Ronnie 3 times and seen him play at the Alexandra Palace.

[@doityourselfvideos3212]

58 plus seven is 65 not 63 (mistake by the referee)

[@nitram_nosnibor]

Amazing to watch! I love the fact that others on other tables are watching him instead of their opponent lol

[@worldsportssssss1213]

I am a simple man if i see ronnie o sullivan i just click

[@gasar8964]

A potting machine , the greatest snooker player ever !

[@TonyNats999]

cue delivery is slow and so smooth, yet so effective.

[@lokyinphotography]

Yeah, so much action on the cue ball.

[@mariosavva999]

He was born to play.

[@klau010]

I also counted 73, not 71

[@AmjadHussain-me4fc]

A genius at work!

[@LIVERNIL723]

Masterclass.

[@mumsknowbest2560]

A fantastic venue south west academy especially when it had a seating arena..... played a disabled event with the seating and a small audience on a star table played Daniel blunn got beat but what an experience all gone now sadly

[@nasmariam9058]

ref counted wrongly should be 65 not 63 when potted black.

[@the_alchemy_method]

Not one other player in that room could have cleared those up even to that point and in that sequence cos theyd have left the black there and maybe not even considered it but 4 shots before ronnies seen the route to black (knowing black on spot will tidy things up as well as make it a frame winner- shot making) and got pin point over on single reds over distance. Made it look very easy. Awesome. PS: hes also got the yellow back on the spot at shot 4 - again making things simpler. I bet his opponent didn’t even make a note of any of it. Watch ronnie not his aura.

[@AuroraSilverstar]

This is Ronnie) The one and only!

[@callumevans5309]

73 break I counted! Not 71?? Anyone else??

[@w.a.biolik8750]

callum evans he had 58 points and then potted the black, ref counted wrong and said 63 instead of 65

[@andyturner2982]

Ref calls out 63 instead of 65 on 2nd to last black!

[@EJBENNIE]

The ref miscounted at 58

[@pompombuuum3182]

You are right, Gollum.

[@quitioalloy]

I couldn't concentrate with all that debris under the table

[@tomdude75]

lol

[@kanekeylewer5704]

Debris?

[@Staycie313]

Hahahahaa amazin to watch especially as a player you can see everyone in the room is looking at him even players on other tables hahahah

[@ewanthug91]

because he is famous

[@rorydoherty4125]

He is the greatest snooker player alive I’m sure

[@RafZee110]

i think it would be more interesting if the shots were shot from top view.

[@osamaiqbal2598]

Where is this club bro ? I want to visit here So nice to see that club

[@mez7736]

It's the Southwest Snooker Academy in Gloucester. It closed down recently which is a real shame. Played there a few times and the tables were the best I've ever been on. In fact, I played on the very table Ronnie's on in this video.

[@breadandcircuses9967]

@@mez7736 i visited there in 2016 and only the one o'sullivans playing on and the one to the left as you see on the video were proper star tables , in all honesty for such a facility relatively in the middle of nowhere it defeated the purpose having sub standard tables that you'd see in any general snooker club , it only goes to prove that pro snooker for me is too expensive to take seriously , sadly .

[@mez7736]

@@breadandcircuses9967: I may be wrong, but I thought all of the tables were Star? Some had tighter and narrower-cut corner pockets, but still...

[@breadandcircuses9967]

@@mez7736 well in name they all may have been star's but only the furthest two from the entrance door were proper pro star's with proper pro pockets , it was really underwhelming for me as i came all the way from london just to check the facility out and only those furthest two had sufficient space around them allowing you not to bump into others on other tables , i don't know why they'd compromise on any tables as it was used as a venue for the q school and for the very first ptc , maybe if they just stuck to proper spec pro tables it would have attracted more players and got more investment from them , i think thats the only way to go players themself have to invest in facilities .

[@jackoherts]

GOAT

[@BartonSnooker]

Absolutely!

[@michaeltrumph121]

great break, but what the fuck happened to his hair ?!?

[@virtualsnake1994]

Bogdan Nistor he's using that thing that women normally use to make sure the hair doesn't fall in front of the face

[@michaeltrumph121]

ArnaldoSimões I hope he cuts his hair pretty soon then. At his age, it won't look that good if it grows any longer.

[@virtualsnake1994]

lol

[@amarsbarr]

lol I was wondering the same thing. maybe he's growing it back long again like he did in 2004

[@michaeltrumph121]

amarsbarr he's a little too old for that

[@10theend]

What match is this?

[@BartonSnooker]

It's in the title of the video. Pink Ribbon 2015. Pro-Am tournament.

[@camouflage873]

Nice vid Ted👍

[@capatainnemo]

why the fuck does this keep playing in my playlist? i never added it

[@masninsikin1944]

Did anyone notice the bulk of mess under the table.. Very unpleasant sight haha

[@Jason-ww3xi]

More importantly, who IS that blonde sitting against the far wall?

[@amarsbarr]

Hahahahahaha

[@juganji587]

A bloke

[@MIchaelMiii]

Ali Carter

[@douglaswilson5273]

79..

[@rareaussie6960]

Yep 73 👍

[@WaleedNaeem]

73 it is.... not 71 !

[@lionfleck]

Ref couldn't count, which probably put Ronnie off on this occasion

[@manjago1070]

+RJ Fletcher the Ref..too old..it will happen sometimes

[@karlmartin7384]

is 73 impressive 🤔
