Count me in, he's a bloody genius. From Australia 🇦🇺.

Me

me too. it helps against corona blues ...

I'm watching, and will continue to do so. BTW Thank you Esnukero for posting a video of his 15 televised 147's

Me! Just watched it this morning in Singapore. What a wonderful surprise deep inside. Thanks for not telling us in the title. What a superb piece of snooker brilliance...heck, sporting brilliance, by any measure!

As is anyone else. Although, Ronnie is the best ever.

not only a record of 5 centuries, but surely a record in terms of speed of play, too! It was as if he had made a commitment to meet someone for a pint, and had no time to lose!

Ooh not quite 😅

You mean the Pest from Leicester?

Oath.

Mate its this - Total dedication to the game, forcing himself to learn how to play left handed at a young age to add another dimension to his game, the eye sight of an eagle and again through sheer determination learn how to control the white as though he uses his mind to direct it .... he is the best there is, the best that ever has been and in trying to second guess the future the best that ever will be because he started it all even now some of his students are playing the odd left handed shots, there has been champions throughout the history of the game but this is the first master cue-ist and he always will be !! :-)

Yes he also has the highest percentage of match wins, the fastest 6 maximums or so I think, the most centuries at the crucible. Hendry still has 2 significant records too, 7 WSC and most centuries in a single WSC tournament

xsitegaming1 some people say higgins , pfffff ha ha , O'Sullivan => BEST EVER

+gertjan ermstrang Higgins is extremely good and I'd say 2nd in the world. But he's still a cheating fuckhead.

O'sullivan is the greatest. The greatest current player and in my opinion the greatest of all time. But as long as he lags Hendry's 36 ranking wins there will be legitimate debate. Also worth bearing in mind the 7 centuries Hendry had in one match to beat Doherty 10 - 5 in the 1994 Uk Snooker Championship.

Are you still mentioning Hendry's 36 ranking wins? Ronnie will butcher that in no time. Ronnie IS THE GREATEST EVER.

Zakaria Youncha lol...you'll get no argument from me on that score...I believe my position was quite clear in that I believe Ronnie is the best of all time. Past and present. But only a real jerk would refuse to engage in the debate or to at least recognise the areas of debate that lend legitimacy to opposing opinions and views. 36 ranking wins, 7 world championships and a decades worth of absolute dominance(5 world's and 5 masters in a row respectively certainly constitutes a high degree of dominance in my books) are in my opinion certainly areas of legitimate debate. The truth is that even at 33 ranking events to Hendry's 36 and 66 tournament wins in total to Hendry's 75 I would still rank Ronnie as the best of all time if he quit today. I just believe he has done enough to warrant it. But that is still just an opinion and given the actual stats that are out there to either support or challenge it with regards Hendry's corresponding position in any such ranking of snooker all time greats it is not indisputable. Another little food for thought fact is that Hendry's had a 147 against Ronnie but never the other way round. Personally though I think that for all the criticism that Ronnie gets as far as his mental or psychological approach to the game is concerned, especially when compared to the praise that this same aspect elicits in respect of Hendry during his time as a pro, it is still undeniably true that Ronnie has stuck it out in the game while Hendry threw in the towel far earlier than he needed to as far as potential further wins were concerned. So if Ronnie does indeed go on to lift more ranking titles than Hendry it certainly will itself tell a story. But if Ronnie doesn't pick up another two worlds at least you can be sure Hendry will be right there whispering in Ronnie's ear "I'd still rather have my trophy cabinet than yours Ron" and he might just be right...greatest of all time or not.

dont be so sure snooker is by far the tougher game.....

So true! This achievement outshines his 5 min 147 for sure.

And 2020

Absolutely. One of his high points of his long career.

Mind your language. You horrible c*#t

Blink and you will miss it !!! That would be some match .

Ronnie is a better scorer and would likely win

@@StrikingAlexa agreed and Ronnie wasn't half soused in each match either, as Higgins always was. Huge difference in the professionalism between the two. Ciggies, coke and booze vs. running, curries and family.

Ronnie would eat him alive

@@electriclightlynnetrex6346 nobody would of chewed up the 82 version of Alex that easily

+randy arleter Indeed, it was. Flawless snooker. History in the making. Must see. Box Office.

Just came here, to see if Robertson is on the other table to shake hands :D

Actually he had a few more, he won 2 frames 😁

Pete Burns could beat him. Dead or alive!

@@davidcopson5800 Ha...ha...ha...aren't you clever.

@@williambremner9022 Don't give me that 'Ha Ha Ha'. You can't take on me.

@@davidcopson5800 Tough guy.

@@williambremner9022 Hmm, that's a tough one! I can only think of Beastie Boys and The Crystal Method. That's music to your ears!

Too funny.

david martin p

And the less you think. Less nervous you are :)

Go back to school then, fool.

He's still winning Championships now (2023).

Well, a 147 is a century break too

147 not over 100?

Bet you feel stupid now hahaha

@@esnukero1 do you even no what is a century a century is 100 a maxium break is 147 go back to school you moron and look in the mirror and cry at your self

What a neffort.

It was after the interval

RyanADillon it's 5 centuries within a best of 9 frames, by the looks of it no one else has done that.. doesn't matter about it being consecutive or not.. but what amazing talent

RyanADillon No one claimed five consecutive centuries. It was 5 centuries in a nine frame match. Frame 1: Break 108 Frame 2: Break 122 Frame 4: Break 107 Frame 5: Break 147 Maximum Break Frame 7: Break 129 Frames 3 and 6 were won by Ali Carter. O'Sullivan's winning frames were all centuries.

Congratulations for discovering snooker. To actually play on a full size table is quite daunting. I used to play once a week for years and never even made a 40 break!

You say you've played billiards at some time then found Snooker but a lot of older or ex-players started with billiards (retired legend Steve Davis-The Plumstead potter was a billiard champion before snooker) because it's a good way to learn the table&it's angles, as well as not looking hopeless to others why you learn, then nominated-billiards practice will give you the Ronnie O'Sullivan touch in about 15 to 20 years (it's how I learnt and once mastered-snooker is child's play)

Think they're talking billiards (table sports) in general as opposed to three-cushion billiards that earlier Brits will know well. Brandon; growing up with snooker in the 70s & 80s was pretty special, always on TV on a Sunday (no computers, phones etc) and it got big coverage. There were some super-slow players back then (Terry Griffiths V Eddy Charlton etc) which were tedious to watch, and though there were greats the standard of play is much better today. But, yes, Ronnie is 30 years plus a pro and is back at number one playing as good as he did here. Remarkable.

I was thinking the very same thing. Ronnie didn't just want to beat Carter, he wanted to show him how he could absolutely trash him, if Ronnie so wished. It's like his distaste for Carter fuelled those five centuries and the 147...they're not the best of mates! LOL!

*green baize.

Green baize* you stupid fool
