Outstanding Effort | Neil Needs 4 Snookers to Avoid a Whitewash | 2019 UK Championship - Last 16

Neil Robertson is 5-0 down, his highest break is 24 so far, but he doesn't give up and fights for his honour against Yan Bingtao, who has played fantastic snooker and is virtually in the next round. But Neil improves his game and refuses to leave the room without scoring at least a frame.
Funny hip twist from Neil to "prevent" the cue ball from going in-off.

Neil turned a boring and disappointing (for him and the audience) match into something worth remembering. It didn't make much of a difference on paper, but that makes it even more sportsmanlike. Well played!

Who said that quote at the start??

[@tantricsurfer]

hi! @8:00 is it allowed to pot the green as a free ball and then the black? 🤔

[@CesarMuroya]

Yes, it is. The green acted as a red: 1 point the pot and then you play any colour as usual.

[@tantricsurfer]

@@CesarMuroya Cesar, thank you so much! It's an amazing game I'm trying to learn, but sometime its rules get me crazy.

[@Tony_Kam]

Hello!! New to snooker here. At 1:26, just as Robertson gets on the table, there is a maximum of 51 points left at the table (3 reds followed by 3 blacks and then all the colours). So, 51+1=52, still less than 59. So, why didn't the frame (and the match) end before Robertson got on the table?? Just on the possible instance that Yan fouled on one of his turns (=4 more points to Robertson) ???

[@alandmunk3h]

Can someone explain the award of the free ball at 7:30 ? Is it because the pink blocks, from our view, the left extreme of the on ball, the last red?

I don't think being cold is what a sportsman should be , after all sports is a place to meet and greet , make new friends. When it comes to competition you can be cold on the field but after the match is over and you're off the field you should be more free after all when your prime is over you'll only have what you made off the field

[@Player-ix7rx]

[@jk_46]

Why were there no misses called as you would normally see?

[@CesarMuroya]

It can't be callled when a player needs snookers to win.

[@jk_46]

Thanks man was really puzzled

[@noegojimmy]

Yan is a delight to watch. No need to praise Robertson(crazy dude).

[@JacJackyPJ920]

I think Bingtao should have tried attacking shots even if they are nearly impossible because (he should know that) Neil doesn't have enough points available and thus can't pot balls

[@simonleroy9576]

I think Bingtao beat 6-1 a former world number 1, I would say that he probably knows what kind of shots he should play more than a youtube expert. But that's just my opinion, ofc.

He’s coming back to the table because there are no more frames after this is he concedes, 4 snookers is not unheard of and he’s a fighter unlike John Virgo.

[@iamheful]

7:35 why did Neil get a free ball? he had a clear shot at the red. What am I missing?

[@vinaygr28]

TIP: You have to be able to freely hit BOTH edges of the red as seen from the cue ball. You can see at 7:35 that as seen from the cue, you can't hit the right edge of the red since the pink will come in the way. Hence free ball.

[@iamheful]

[@aabhashrai6925]

Why did he play green after foul and black after it? I don't know about this rule. How does it work?

[@CesarMuroya]

If your opponent commits a foul and leaves the cue-ball snookered, you are awarded a Free Ball. You nominate any colour as the ball on (the green acts as a red), then you can pot the nominated free ball (the green) followed by a colour as usual (the black). Just in case, there is are reply about why the cue-ball was snookered.

[@aabhashrai6925]

@@CesarMuroya thank you sir 👍👍

[@BrettSirrell]

why were misses not called?

[@moeleraky]

Brett Sirrell, Misses are not called when a player still needs more snookers

[@paddypoolfc3579]

Was about to ask same question. 👍

[@corey1845]

Can someone explain, why the foul in 7:30 led to a free ball? i thought only a snooker caused by a faul leads to a free ball?

[@CesarMuroya]

Neil is snookered indeed. You must be able to hit both sides of a ball on. If a ball not-on preents you from doing so, then you are snookered. In this case, the pink makes it impossible to hit left side of the red.

[@corey1845]

If any player requires penalty points to win, a Miss can't be called.

[@grahampcharles]

Why is that free ball at 7:38? I thought free ball was if you couldn’t see both sides of a red?

Free ball when you can’t touch both sides of the object ball with the SIDE EDGE of the cue ball (thinnest possible cut)

[@grahampcharles]

[@hansdampf2104]

Why he gets a free Ball at 7:32? He isnt snookered on red.

[@HadToChangeMyName_YoutubeSucks]

He won't be returning to the table now, he needs to draw one foul and there are only 9 balls left on the table, far too much of a challenge for a professional snooker player.

[@peorakef]

12:41 why would he let the ref have a look?

Hahahaha. Neil suddenly decides to try and contribute towards the match been 5 - 0 down!!!!!!! Hahahaha. If a true champion happens to play so poorly to be white washed like this they should at least respect, admire and except defeat and give credit where credits due. If it was 5 - 5 or even 5 - 4 I can understand him continuing to battle but this was boring and irritating to say the least!
