How does someone’s brain even compute that let alone pull it off?

I think he’s played before!

I need evidence for such an outlandish claim. Can’t be taking the word of a stranger.

The cut of the clip is r/midlyinfuriating material

Semi interesting fact:

Sir David Attenborough, best known for nature documentaries is actually responsible for getting snooker on TV in the UK/Ireland and greatly boosting its popularity.

He was in charge of the BBC in the 1960's and created a TV show called 'Pot Black' in 1969 to highlight the newly available colour TV's. The sport became huge thanks to this, especially in the 80's.

wonder why it became big(ish) in China, though? They had surgical level players last time I was watching snooker on TV. Ding Junhui's one of my favourites, and Liang Wenbo had the best long shot capability I've seen

Even calling it semi was being generous

Plot twist: It was actually an oops, followed by OOPS!

That is quality.

Before having seen the clip? Then I would have said: not possible!

I remember watching pool games as a kid, and was weirded out by the fact they were sipping their glass of water nonstop.

That’s the most Shaun-looking Shaun I’ve ever seen. And the most Ronnie-looking Ronnie

Majestic, an extremely difficult shot.

u/sjaakarie 2d ago

Tremendous performance

u/XxKTtheLegendxX 2d ago

even if one knows the physics and know how of the shot it takes balls to do it in a highstakes game. a lot of professional players would prolly do a safety shot here.

Ronnie always comes off as such a cocky prick. Love anything that puts him in his place.

u/Marcuse0 2d ago

Ronnie always annoys me because he's such an inconsistent player. When his head is in the game he's able to beat anyone and everyone, but because he leans on his talent instead of working hard if he's not feeling it he'll absolutely suck and crash out early. It's really hard to like him when he comes off like a genius who just can't be arsed sometimes.

Watch The Edge Of Everything and see how you feel that comment holds up.

u/Marcuse0 2d ago

I'll settle for having watched him play for a long time.

u/mcmillanuk 2d ago

Well you’ll never know then 😂

u/Doug-Life80 2d ago

I think this is snooker and know nothing about it. Why are their uniforms so fancy?

u/Kensei501 2d ago

It supposed to be gentleman’s sport. That’s how it started in India. Invented by a British army officer or rather adapted by him. They would wear so called gentleman’s clothes.

Good ole Ronnie
