Snooker Players React to their Opponents' Epic Shots

Snooker is a wonderful game where even those who play against you can appreciate your skills. Here are the amazing moments when the opponent's reaction has been captured following the shot. This is what we call the spirit of the game.

[@GrahamHussain-lu1fn]

Judd is a nice lad the way he cheers on higgins is proper sportsmanship

[@rogeryou5399]

I love how most of them it’s just a bit of appreciation but with Carter it’s just anger 😂

[@Domesticated_Ape]

Carter is a 🔔 end

[@shellsbignumber2]

Kirk Stevens reaction to Jimmy is great.

[@barbmitch6866]

They were good pals getting on the gear 😂😂

[@matheusgolkecardoso8309]

Carter never shows a sign of appreciation to the opponent

[@joep5080]

2.40 is clapping not appreciation?

[@naumaanhamid]

@@joep5080 Its sarcastic. Even the commentator said it.

[@nuntana2]

@@joep5080 Nope. The bloke is salty to the core. Even without the initial smirk, that was out of line. He just hates being beaten, particularly when someone plays better than him and esp when someone flukes him. He struggles to show respect for anyone playing a good shot, but he gets it when he makes one. Very good player, but not a nice bloke unfortunately. Smarmy.

[@niklastorshagen6365]

[@chakko007]

[@rrrvvvv999]

Check out Carter on a number of occasions in this video shaking his head in disbelief that an opponent could be so lucky and have the temerity to pot an amazing shot. As if the whole world is conspiring against him in every frame.

[@nitnesto9195]

yeah he's always been a frustrated little bitch but one can understand him for some part, he did have to battle cancer twice, i'd be a bit fed up with life myself. but he's still a miserable prick.

[@leebeeskee]

Yeah I've noticed that over the years. You are spot on!

[@calciumgypsum]

I see him applauding, smiling and surprised. The worst one can do is hating someone.And the fact you hate Carter doesn`t make him any worse, it just makes you look silly `cause his reaction is just the opposite you describe it.

[@flanj1]

Yep, I thought the very same. Ali's reactions were more like "Fk offfff, you lucky fka"

[@SimonPhillips76]

@@calciumgypsumit’s all sarcastic. He feels thwarted and conspired against, which is ironic considering how often he flukes.

[@shaun-sp3bs]

Judd's pot on 10:46 was astounding.

[@gamevidsnstuff5805]

10:44 - That shot actually made me laugh out loud. The way he just got down and smacked it as well. Didn't feather it once

[@Maffchops]

It's up there as one of the most impressive shots that's ever been played, for me. As Stephen Hendry often says - Judd Trump can play shots that literally no one else in the game can play, this is one of them!

[@pa-mo]

Same for me, that was the shot of the video. I thought the video glitched, it looked like the cue ball slammed on the brakes!!

[@poochie81]

I always like that clip with jimmy and kirk

[@SimonPageSA]

How could you forget Robertson's reaction to Maguire's ball of the century 😉

[@zqfmgbhoo]

Great video! My favorite reaction isn't in this compilation, though. It's all of Ronnie's reactions to Ding's 147 attempt, which had amazing shots and flukes.

[@flanj1]

He started bouncing in his chair and slapping his knees. lol

[@shriramchandak]

I came to comments section just mention about that shot and Ronnie's reaction.

[@pieterdhooghe8857]

Well timed video with classic Carter-reactions 🙂

[@MultiPupsiki]

It reminded me what a great player Jimmy White was. Thanks for the nice video!

[@kevinkeane254]

You've an unbelievable channel my friend, amazing content and first class editing 👏

[@MalcolmPowder]

This is a great compilation. Well done to whoever put it together.

[@timwingham8952]

Joe Perry's smile that gets bigger and bigger after getting out of that snooker is great. He's like a little boy embarrassed by doing so well. How lucky are we to have such a fantastic sport to watch.

[@HadToChangeMyName_YoutubeSucks]

Is it just me or does Ali Carter not seem to age at all? He still looks just like he did back when Trump still looked like a skateboarder.

[@Gege-oz4us]

Melhor que as lindas jogadas, é a reação do adversário reconhecendo a genialidade, parabéns a todos que tem essa atitude.

[@ChrisTian-tg3lj]

Love to see Carter on the other side here. Thanks goat ROS for destroying Carter all the years xD

[@Iris_and_or_George]

Ty for video! And compliments for the sound editing. I liked the crossovers.

[@13slays]

I never really realised how Bitter Carter was until his comment after Ronnie winning his 8th masters and watching this video

[@niklastorshagen6365]

What did he say?

[@SpinningAroundMars]

@@niklastorshagen6365 Carter said something along the lines of O'Sullivan being mentally ill when O'Sullivan said in his post-match interview that Carter let him off the hook by not attacking in the evening session like he did in the afternoon. Their Essex rivalry goes back to when they were kids, plus Carter's always been a grumpy sod who sulks in defeat.

[@eppersonelectrical1621]

Great video!!! Thanks for the upload!

[@owainjones2643]

I'm not a Higgins fan, but I'm gutted he didn't get the 147 after potting that red

[@nbmufc94]

[@guetali]

Amazing is correct ! u have the impression it's denying the physical law ...

[@wuo4166]

Carter so mad every time someone makes a great pot

[@markh7484]

What a talent is Judd Trump. Shame about the surname but he can't help that.

[@jayschafer1760]

If I ever get the chance to travel from the US to the UK to watch a snooker match in person, I'm definitely going to have to get a red hat made reading, "TRUMP: MAKE SNOOKER GREAT AGAIN" and a T-shirt that says, "Judd > Donald".

[@gillcelt]

Carter really showing his colours, looks like Ronnie was right all along.

[@RhinoRider2006]

Carter is probably the only player who does not appreciate it when another player makes an incredible shot against him. In the shot Wilson drove the blue into the corner from the opposite corner pocket, Stevens was directly in front of him looking down his que. That is wrong and also multiplies the toughness of the shot. when you have a pair of eyes looking at you from the other side of your que.

[@thisis008]

That's true but in this case the frame already over and he was just teasing Kyren😂

[@albernererhelge]

There are acknowledging reactions, and there is Ali Carter.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Great thumbnail, I bet even the editing software hesitated to put a smiling Ali next to a Ronnie picture 😁

[@KingJohnson1985]

When you watch a 14 minute-video, and think after watching it: "Wait, that was already the whole video", while having the feeling it was just 5 minutes so far, its great entertainment xD i had that on this video. Insane Snooker here, which prooves one thing: These guys are Magicians with a queue...Absolutely mental stuff.

[@JamesClose-76hh]

You're spot on my friend, couldn't agree more 👍

[@BenSmith-ss6gg]

The Masters final on Sunday got the coverage to expose it, but Ali Carter has been a monumental, entitled prick for years. Almost every match he shakes his head, or moans, or smirks.

It's, as usual, an excellent choice for your first-shot-of-the-vid, mate. That intentional positional by Trump for the frame just goes down in the books of history of snooker. People will be watching that in 30 years time, like that Jimmy White masse to hit the brown.

[@DAGATHire]

carter comes across as a right horses arse in these clips, and ironically if finishes with a great shot from carter, that he would be shaking his head at if played against him but in this case Bingham being a gent gives the customary clap a good shot deserves.

Same! The 'shoulder barge' incident with Ronnie was because he was getting up to the table too fast before it was his turn, 'snooker etiquette' is allowing your opponent time to leave the table after their shot, Ali has none! He pretends to be Mr Nice but he's the complete opposite. Total gaslighting.

[@theherbalizer5145]

@@RZPPAA Totally agree. Whilst Ronnie made some unskilfull comments after his Masters' win over Ali, at least he later regretted his outburst. Has Ali made any move to similarly regret his accusation of Ronnie being mentally unwell (a disgusting tactic in my book)? No of course he hasn't. The man leaves a bad taste in my mouth just seeing him. His sarcastic 'applause' taking the piss out of the audience clapping what was cleary a fluke says it all. Not nice at all.
