Crowds are a disgrace

[@thegameisriggednwo1099]

Ok snowflake.

[@melin1969]

in this event the crowd is encouraged to behave like they were , its part of the tournament

[@bartdereu9267]

It's a shoot out, the crowd always behaves like this and are encouraged to do so.

[@BarvGwydh]

I feel like more people would watch this if not for the crowd. I get it, long form snooker is "boring" and in a boring environment, trying to do the opposite just feels forced and obnoxious though.

[@dxd8663]

It's horrific, they're not even remotely funny/witty/endearing etc, they're reaching for humour and just sound like a bunch of braindead chimps.

[@kevinholub4838]

Yeah some folks forced it a little too much imo

[@hatesitrick]

Sorry but that’s just your opinion. Stuff like this helps the sport grow and you’re just preventing those kinda chances with an attitude like that. It’s the whole point. Just don’t watch it if you don’t like the crowd. It’s not for you, it’s for the sake of the sport. Just allow it and watch something else snooker-wise honestly. The sport needs the exposure and accessibility

[@leemendez7876]

Agreed the crowd is a huge off put. Not needed.

[@britdragster]

It's like canned laughter on sit coms....

[@winstonhumphrey1985]

They should do best of 3s, then best of 5s for quarters and semis, and best of 7s for final.

[@krystofdayne]

Lol that's like defeating the whole point of the tournament. It's called the Shoot Out, that's what it is. Going with your proposal just makes it like any other tournament, only shittier and smaller. The way that it is, it's at least unique.

[@yane499]

I was thinking of Best of 3 for the whole tournament, that way at least you get more chances to make up for a mistake but still short and fun, best of 5 and 7 would be too long for this format

[@winstonhumphrey1985]

@@yane499 frames are 10 mins long, even with setup and best of 7 final would be over in less than 2 hours

Я ТАК РАДА ЗА МАРКА АЛЕНА, СВОЕЙ ДОЧЕЧКИ ПОДАРОК СДЕЛАЛ. УДАЧИ ЕМУ ВО ВСЕМ, КИТАЙСКИЕ ИГРОКИ ТОЖЕ МОЛОДЦЫ, ОНИ МОЛОДЫЕ ЕЩЕ, ВСЕ У НИХ ВПЕРЕДИ ЕЩЕ УДАЧИ ИМ И ВСЕМ ЗДОРОВЬЯ.

[@tesla-spectre]

Funny how people criticise this type of snooker. As if in Chess you do not have the usual and then "Blitz"... each takes different qualities. Take the young Stan: in normal snooker he runs around and gets on everyones nerves for his endless checking etc ticks. In a shootout he has no time, so he simply pots.

[@ianshaw6922]

Bet Rhianne happy 😂

[@prisontv3299]

Why does everyone hate Mark Allen?

[@Dan-rc1sl]

He’s ok is t he. Fairly humble I thought

[@oliveringram3056]

Do a recount, I don't hate him...!

[@Mitchell66225]

I can’t stand him! Over weight Allen was much better, he just looks so ill now.

[@Jamie_1995]

It’s because Allen was interfering with Ronnies eyeline in the champions of champions match, Mark Allen is a cheat!

[@Ferdish3]

Probably because in consistency with previous years, everyone expected someone outside top 16 to be the Shoot Out champion...for instance, I was cheering for Si Jiahui, especially after his win against Kyren Wilson. Too bad he lost to Allen in the very next match...

[@hexiangwu4571]

very tactical play for mark, i fear that in the end, it beats the purpose of the format

[@sagelight7777]

Agree 100 percent. Deliberate safety play in a shoot out should be a foul because it makes it impossible for the other player to win. For this to work it has to be that you always go for a pot. As it is, get 40 and play safe.

[@tonytucker7359]

@@sagelight7777absolutely what a complete bastard Allen is just won champion of champions and enters the shootout a competition to give the lesser players a chance of the big time and not content with feeding his insatiable avarice he plays safety at the shootout an absolute disgrace and he has no shame

[@sagelight7777]

@tonytucker7359 I don't think Allen deserves that type of talk. Easy to write such hateful things in the comments pal. We are not here to call people things like that.

[@bartdereu9267]

The only one i wouldn't like to see winning. what a shame.

[@Ben-cx5fe]

The crowd is horrendous, go watch darts

[@sagelight7777]

The crowds are disgusting and the way Mark won ruins the format. If you are creating a shoot out, playing safe has to be taken out of the game. You cannot be a true snooker fan and enjoy this, just a knock about in a rowdy pub

[@bartdereu9267]

How can the crowd be distgusting, do you know the concept of a shoot out? You have a point about the safety's, it's ridicoulous.

[@sagelight7777]

@bartdereu9267 yes I know the concept and for me as a pure snooker fan, the crowd and event are disgusting. Clear enough?

[@bartdereu9267]

@@sagelight7777 then don’t watch it and stop whining . Clear enough ?

[@leemendez7876]

The crowd are just plain annoying.

[@samirmakdissi8944]

I think Mark Allen deserves a better title than shootout champion .it is a marginal event

[@medved5925]

He won Champion of Champions this year. And last year he won UK Championship.

[@tobylerone007]

If I was to act like that at a pool match at my local, I'd get barred. Strange.

[@vladimirzharov8403]

What the hell is wrong with the crowd?! This is not snooker, that's a total disgrace...

[@user-zc5yi2tc2v]

Not everyone been a big fan for a long time

[@paulbarrow7320]

I agree crowd are a joke dont like this event

[@johnmackenzie3773]

Your letting everyone know who won, I'd rather watch the clip and find out myself, unsubscribed!

[@LoveAndPeace-co6ol]

Snooker is not a sport Eurosport. Thank goodness this was not broadcast on BBC, ITV, Channel 4 or even 5 the crowd are almost as bad as that other sport named darts.

[@Lepetitortu]

English People 😂😂😂😂

[@gary617]

Because of his mouth 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
