Easily the best snooker channel on YT.. I wish you would post videos more frequently but I understand the time and effort it takes to make these. So thank you and I hope you keep doing this for a long time to come.

[@einstu]

Agreed.

[@Lee-eu6wf]

I have to applaud you on your editing skills, very nice to watch.

[@yannick9473]

The tougher the assignment, the more his eyes are lit up. He loves a challenge Ronnie. Dangerous animal when he's behind.

[@Amusicbelgium]

Kind of dangerous when ahead too

18:08 - "he's goin' for it.." BANG long pink. Dangerous indeed.

[@greebo7857]

Snooker is a tough game. Nothing you can do sitting in your chair. Even worse when it's Ronnie at the visit. Superb editing, as usual. Cesar.

[@tipvipapinjutapornprechalo2392]

1 Tiny wedding cake. Lol. What a magnificent masterpiece!

[@sdrtcacgnrjrc]

Great edit as usual 👍🏼 but the original footage is really well filmed and edited too. For once we get to see the white ball and what happens to it during a pot (as opposed to the usual approach of "we'll zoom in on the bell being potted and ignore any possible canons with the white"). And lovely side views of the table. Great stuff, makes me happy

[@paulwalker1793]

If it's one thing Ronnie loves during a match, is a challenge .🏆👍

[@mjd4174]

Yeah seems he works better under pressure. Mind you, aren't they always under pressure?

I think Murphy is a great player and can produce amazing stuff.

[@MrHadrian71]

What an match! Class from both players!

[@rhyshowcutt7407]

Dennis Taylor calling it could be a decider during the 8th frame is unbelievable!

[@justsomeguy6474]

34:31 Tip of the hat to the cameraman, way to focus on the object ball mid shot!

Seamless edit as always..you da man Cesar. Watching with beer and snacks.😀

Absolute G.O.A.T.

[@nishantmagar4645]

Ronni is one man army...

[@nodeal7337]

The long Pink at 18:00 and following red to the center was insanely good. He's a few points up with some reds tied up but he's taking a lot of risk so they are potentially Win or Lose shots. He got "mad" at the 17:38 failed pos on Black.This is what makes Ronnie so feared. Most players will continue to struggle when they f... up. Ronnie uses the frustration to fuel his concentration. He becomes fearless, but still very much tactical aware.

[@stijndebuysscher]

Impressive 🌟

[@mjd4174]

14:37 - I've seen that look before, in other games with ROS.

[@nodeal7337]

The "Strange" commentary is spoken by Reidar Rune Larsen. A former President of the Norwegian Billiard Federation. And a Legend at that.

[@inaraband5527]

Love it

[@user-sr9ng9dt6p]

Оч приятно смотреть снукер с такой красоткой рефери. Зрителям просто повезло наблюдать такой поединок ! Микаэла - украшение этого поединка, несомненно !!!

Michaela Tabb... such a hottie.

[@castleanthrax1833]

Another w⚓

[@liambhandari3600]

I feel like I missed so many shots when Ronnie playing, what a jaw dropping performance by Ronnie. Probably one of the best match.

[@claudiojunior9618]

There's only 1 Ronnie

[@markymark560]

The problem with snooker is you cant do anything when the other player is on the table. You cant defend. However its good when your on the table as no one can stop you.

[@gonzus1966]

What was the language being spoken during the first few minutes?

[@castleanthrax1833]

Welsh I think.

[@perpersson442]

Norwegian. (Norsk)

[@ferrantepallas]

John Virgo is such an exceptionally excellent snooker commentator, and ROS is a delight to watch, as is Shaun

[@Mr_Gray_Sky]

Ronnie O'Sullivan is so good at working from underneath, at times I wonder if he does it on purpose to make things more interesting.

[@evilelf5967]

true,he seems to do it when he isnt get much of a challenge and then he switches up.

[@mycroft1905]

Wow!

[@dannycaplan6614]

Who was commentating during the first frame?

[@CaptainChristianZ1818]

Pity to see this n then see him lose on Sunday

[@chanoone7812]

Comment for your algorithm 💯✌️👏👏👏👏

[@mrthiefy]

great semi-final. great video. I was looking forward to watching who he was going to play in the final and watch that next. but for some reason at 35 minutes and 17 seconds into the video you SPOILED the crap out of the final, so now I'm going to watch something else.

[@JollyRogerTheDodger]

Phone the police.

[@mrthiefy]

if anyone else comes along watching this video stop the video at 35 minutes into it about there or a tiny bit earlier where you see the losing opponent stand up ready to shake hands.

[@ihsan708]

Missing that red in the centre pocket was crime for any proffesional player,

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

What is up with that lower right corner pocket??? Great game, good compatition. Both where playing well. And that's more enjoyable to watch.

[@101mossie]

The difference between winning and losing is cueball control, O Sullivan can do it under severe pressure while Murphy can’t, always seems to lose control or miss an easy chance throughout his career thus only 1 world title.

[@peterjongsma2779]

Commentary in Celtic?

[@perpersson442]

The first segment is commented in Norwegian. Regards from south Sweden

[@lazer2365]

Sadly, we're told the result in the headline. Which spoils the enjoyment of the game, for me. There is another snooker channel which just has xxxxx v xxxxxx as the headline. No spoilers.

[@ThePageofCups]

This is a 15 year old game. I'll forgive the spoilers.
