Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Neil Robertson | Great tactical and attacking snooker | 2007 World Championship

Exciting tactical frames and counterattacks. Ronnie's evil snookers and Neil's responses are interesting, unusual facets to watch. At the age of 25, Neil misses the easiest frame ball of his career. However, he then makes an impressive comeback to the delight of the enthusiastic audience.
Commentators: John Virgo, Clive Everton, Terry Griffiths, Willie Thorne and Dennis Taylor.

I've said it before but it bears repeating. Your editing is sublime. Thanks for all you post.

[@FloydMaxwell]

First frame: Robertson's escapes were first class, then the stunning miss. Nice to be able to watching only the most critical bits of a match, thanks to great editing.

[@ThePurist007]

What a nice lad Robertson is - 12-10 down, his opponent only needs one frame, admits a fluke and yet he can still smile. Great sportsman.

[@kevanbrown7620]

Ronnie is my favourite player, but I like Neil Robertson,I have a lot of respect for him and the way he plays snooker,I was so glad when Ronnie, after beating him in a final, said "Never mind the snooker, Neil is the nicest human being on the tour and that apart from Ding,who he is very close, and maybe Liang, there's no other player he would like to share it with" I'm not sure but it may have been Ronnie's 1,000th century, whatever I thought it was a nice touch by Ronnie, and good to see him and Neil being good friends

Thanks thejakeakar!

[@BrainFoodCafe]

brilliant. Robertson is the real Gentleman and plays bravely.

[@CesarMuroya]

Just anecdotal: the three previous matches between them were played in ranking events, best of 9, in the QF stage and whoever won the match ended up winning the title (2005 Welsh, 2006 GPrix, 2007 Welsh; the last were the first two Neil titles).

Best snooker channel on KZbin. Good content, good trivia/video notations and the only one that does both of those AND doesn't have an ad every two fucking minutes. Nice one.

[@calvinsbnb76]

Wow, what a great video, produced by you with great care and thoughtfulness. May be -- is -- the best I've seen. Just subscribed. Neil Robertson said recently (last year maybe) that for much of his career he was addicted to playing video games. He said he really regrets it because he feels it kept him from having success he should have had.

interesting note.....how many snooker players have had the words...sublime,amazing, gifted,sensational,unbelievable and genius used during a frame? there's only one to my knowledge,and he's still at it.

[@EannaButler]

Great stuff. I find it hard to believe that Neil Robertson has been going at the top flight of snooker for 13 years!! He's 38 - eight years older than Judd - I thought they were alot closer in age!

[@EannaButler]

Just another 'age' thing to consider... Judd is 30 now - Ronnie was 31 in this match... We really do have alot more years of Judd ahead of us...

[@equisde8026]

[@tonybarfridge4369]

I could only watch one frame and for all the world it looked like Robertson was handing it to Ronnie every shot and didn't look overly concerned about it

[@jaberwoky_]

Thrilling play - even knowing the outcome from having watched several times before.

[@fast7549]

Titans on the table

[@1218jmm]

At the beginning of this video, there’s this: “ ‘I think it’s made snooker a more positive game. In the past, only rarely did players miss deliberately, but sometimes they had not to strive over hard to make a successful escape.’ - Clive Everton on the miss rule -“ I understand everything except “…had not to strive over hard…” Can someone help me understand what he’s saying here? Thank you.

[@CesarMuroya]

He means that they didn't have to try hard (as players do today) to make a successful escape, because it was not mandatory in the past (although in certain situations the ref asked them to play again).

[@ianbaird3217]

9:25 did someone say corona virus after the missed blue 😂😂

[@iCxrsxd_]

Omg 🤦‍♂️This match was before covid 19

[@johnsmith-wx5fb]

I love at the middle of the video how it was so obvious to us but just nearly perceptible to the player had he not done it the game would have changed massively, just goes to show. Food for thought.

[@stevenmclaren2730]

Ronnie rules.

[@jonathankonoi5367]

In my understanding of the rules you are not allowed to jump over an interfering ball when trying to hit the object ball, correct me if i’m wrong. You can clearly see on the slowmotion at 4:15 that when Neil is swerving around the pink the cueball jumps and leaves the bed of the table for a split second, due to his elevated cue. Of course very hard to see without slowmotion for the ref, but is this a foul or is he allowed to partially jump over and around the pink in this situation?

[@CesarMuroya]

It is not allowed to jump over any part of an object ball. The shot was legal IMO.

[@alliwanttosayis2144]

Can someone explain to me why at the start of the vid the black is on the pink spot?

[@conormccormack7841]

They didn't bring in the no-alcohol rule for referees until the following year. Also if one of the coloured ball's spot is covered by a red or the other coloured balls, they use whatever other spot that's closest to it's own. And if there's no spot available, they put it as close as possible to its own spot and the ball that's covering it's spot

[@giovincoforballondor8835]

4:00 should this be a foul as Robertson has jumped over the pink prior to making contact with the red? One to debate:)

[@12ANSHBHATIA]

It jumped through the side of it not over .

[@dannymccrae3070]

I don’t think it did jump the pink to be honest. Perhaps an optical illusion. The cue ball barely left the bed of the table

[@thewellwishers1266]

No its not the foul he just swing the ball a little

[@felipevalsani936]

I’m pretty sure if cue ball jumps prior to hitting a red but it does not jump high enough to clear the highest point of an object ball it’s a legal shot :)

Hence Jimmy never won a world title, "I know that for a fact" quoted by Derek Black a Jambo in Restalrig residing and not in Gorgie. Lesson do not win or it will kill you. Be humble if your good at one thing you do, if however you can do more than influence other then yourself most possibly you will survive excess and yourself or as its named ego.
