Fantastic Classic: Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Peter Ebdon | 1996 World Snooker Championship SF - Part 2

[@ros8010]

nice sportsmanship in the end

[@silviarezaquantum1537]

From Peter yes. Ronnie´s smirking as if to say "bothered"

[@christiankrueger2970]

Thank you so much. Never seen that before. 🙏🙏🙏

[@adriancronin533]

Loving this format, thanks @Cesar Muroya

[@LaneyStudios5]

I think some people, especially newer fans forget that Ebdon was a prominent player in his day, 9 ranking titles and a world championship I believe, he definitely wasn't a slouch and achieved more than most snooker players have

[@adrianwright8685]

Yes, 9 ranking titles puts Ebdon 11th equal with Parrot on the all time list - truly a top class player. The slow deliberate approach he sometimes adopted later in his career was never his main style and it's unfortunate that's what some now remember him for.

[@Rising.consciousness]

A slouch 🤣🤣😆 fucking love that word

[@g.g.3573]

I like hearing stories about players who stick to the same cue their whole career. Just like Ken Doherty who managed to win the world championship with his low budget crooked cue. Amazing.

[@LaneyStudios5]

That he stole from his local pub if I'm not mistaken aha

[@g.g.3573]

@@LaneyStudios5 no ahaha but he managed to bargain for like 10 pounds or something like that

[@parksyist]

I had a ten pound argus snooker cue which I used for years won trophies for pool with my team. Snapped it in anger and I've never played as well with my John parris cue I replaced it with

[@Ironsvillage]

Same for Stephen Hendry, who bought his cue at a pub for like 30-40 pounds if I'm not mistaken.

[@christiankrueger2970]

Also a Great video. Lovely greetings to Peru.

[@slottyken]

Say whatever you want about Peter Ebdon but he had a wonderful waistcoat collection

[@alexhayden2303]

Vast Vid. improvement since O'S. was a young man!

[@Floydrush-zx9wz]

At this level of snooker it's not a case of who's the best player, It's who's the best PRESSURE player, I think Ronnie learned a lot from this loss, he learned to "rein-in" his flamboyant play for the better.

[@sugs1191]

Ebdon is a better pressure player than Ronnie imo.

[@doritozman5419]

homie really hit us with the double 'HOOZAH'

[@FloydMaxwell]

Some amazing clearances by Ronnie. Never would have imagined Peter had a "Come on!" in him.

[@thesheetposter9277]

wanna see ebdon against wenbo

[@tariqbouchouarb8009]

Sheer talent embodied in a person named R.O'sullivan

[@jamesbyrne9312]

He lost lol

[@lucybarney1]

Some people are missing the point ,,,both pros ,,both incredible players , ,one probably the most gifted player ever to grace the game ,,but mental attitude beat raw genius talent

[@rhysoto90]

His 100th century 😂 20+ more years and he'll reach a 1000.

[@scottburbridge8378]

it was like 5 or 6 tournements a year back in the day

[@thomgrom1185]

Here Ebdon plays fast 😂

[@williamoldaker2437]

Nice to know Ronnie’s fans were obnoxious in the 90s as well. The more things change the more they stay the same.

[@fifthof1795]

Agree. I'm a huge ROS fan, but the constant yelling and calling out is pathetic and boorish.It's as if their future depends on Ronnie winning.

[@slottyken]

I prefer the word 'passionate' 😌

[@adrianwright8685]

@@fifthof1795 "It's as if their future depends on Ronnie winning." - the amount of money some people bet that might have been true!

[@Almosteverything143]

Ronnie's Overconfidence lost him the championship

[@ravivarman2020]

Great match. Wonder what ebdon had to say to Ronnie at the end of the match. Can anyone lip read?

[@hamzakhalid4613]

Wow, Ronnie was really fast back then.

[@algolin]

Looking at the audience one would think it's in 60's or 70's.

[@gangxia8206]

Ebdon‘s hair looks unreal. lol

[@thesheetposter9277]

Ebdon's cue action was a bit like Mark Allen's

[@sugs1191]

In terms of potting ability and cueing Ronnie was better when he was younger imo.

[@AJsVIEW]

04:00 Did I just see a 152 break?? I thought 147 was the max that can be made!

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

Yeah, break was 140. He had 13 points before that, must have been a few fouls in that. Should I think have been 153 at the end but they show 152

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

0:25

[@kajisherpa6749]

155 is max if player gets free ball before the first red pot.

[@just-dl]

@@kajisherpa6749I know that’s mathematically possible. Does it happen? I’m new to snooker, so don’t have a lot of history to draw from.

[@Almosteverything143]

The only 1 who disliked the video is Ronnie 🤩🤩 (Just Kidding)

[@mariosamper8186]

I thought 147 was as many points as possible. I believe there may have been opponent fouls

[@seanscanlon9067]

147 is the highest break, although technically it's 155 with a free ball as a red, a black and then a 147 but as you say, fouls can add points too.

[@aliayaan5188]

Hw scored 152? How?

[@tedschreiber5717]

ebdon must have fouled before the video started giving ronnie penalty points since ronnie has 13 points with only one red off the table

[@joseywales3789]

Ali Ayaan The highest break possible is 155. This can occur when an opponent fouls but leaves the player snookered on all 15 reds. (The player cannot see the both outside edges of any red ball) The player can nominate one of the other colours as a red, known as a "free ball", which carries the same value as a red for just that shot. Therefore a break of 155 is possible! Jamie Cope achieved this in 2005!

[@adrianwright8685]

In 2021 Jimmy Robertson beat Lee Walker 178 - 6 with the aid of 44 points from fouls

[@fifthof1795]

I had forgotten just how dreadful Whispering Ted was.

[@Masterdoctorgenius14]

Ronnie choked away two frames in the last two sessions
