- It's unclear exactly when this dispute started, but it seems to date back to 2017 when Ronnie started talking about numpties. Year after year, the feud built between the two of them. Here we look at the whole drama between them with clips of them from the last 6 years. They are playing in a few days, it will be one to watch!

Vafaei saying Ronnie should retire and then Ronnie proceeds to win the world championship last year is so funny
How about now?😂
@@frankhinstine9161 I mean I’ve got nothing to say 😂
@@frankhinstine9161 How about NOW?
@@p1te Wow, replying to a 7 month old comment, did he win the world championship again? Sorry I must have missed it..
@@frankhinstine9161 You're not much of a snooker fan, are you? Never mind then.
The start with ronnie talking about numpties I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂
its hilarious and everyone knows theres at least a bit of truth to it. i cant believe some people actually bother taking it to heart, unless they take it as a personal attack against their game... which would be a bad sign
Try and watch the full video its so funny. He does a scouse accent it's brilliant.
Doing Michael Caine
Who's the Numptie now 😅😅😅
dont take much to amuse someone from lescister....so famous l cant even spell it
Mark Williams never steps wrong in any comment he makes what a legend
Love the man
So real. Geezer
the top seeded players are glued into all the tournements, easy to keep quiet and keep cashing the cheques but sport needs rivalries, grudge matches, controversies because most players daren't speak and many more are 'numpty's' on the periphery. For a sport to have integrity players have to improve and overcome adversity. There are pro's and there are pro's.
The guy's just honest and he's a decent guy so it shines true. Unlike some people that are just politically correct. Mark's just a good guy on so many levels.
Well he's wrong sbout O'sullivan ( and he's jealous of his talent too) Mark Williams is not going to be a 7 times World champion, and he knows it🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video just reconfirmed what a legend Mark J Williams is.
"Make the game bigger" lol, O'Sullivan is the only reason why I and many others even watch snooker.
In a way that proves his point. I'm not hating on Ronnie, but the sport has done nothing but decrease in popularity so maybe the new talent needs to step up. Proves Ronnie's point too - with the lack of talent it's pretty dull. Last year it was celebrated the final at the championship managed 4.5m viewers, the best since 2014. When you consider 1985 had 18.5m - people have more choice these days and not even Ronnie pulls in that many but he's arguably keeping it alive while the growth continues in other countries and not here.
Exactly he’s definitely one of the reasons I watch
Ever since I've been watching snooker since a child in the 90s, Ronnie has been there winning, of course he's a big draw to the sport. Vafaei seems to have a chip on his shoulder or some sort of jealousy.
@@CagedPapsi and a lot of people i know,every time we play pool after a night out,if we make a good shot we say jokingly excuse me Ronnie. A LOT of people wouldnt give a shit about pool,other than a pass time,if it wasnt for Ronnie
Amin
Legend has it that Mark Selby received a grand each time he said 'obviously'.
That’s obvious
Yup, that's true. And I heard that Ronnie is sponsored by the "Y'know" and the "Y'know what ah mean?" corporation. 😉
Mark is the most level headed sportsman around, he will always give his honest views which often hit the nail on the head.
But I think what ronnie said has some truth to it. Steve Davis was the best, Hendy came along and took it from him,Hendry was the best a swarm of players came up and took it from him. Who has really shown up in the last few years and taken the game by storm?
Basically no one under 30.
@@sirdetmist3204 These barren spells happen in all sports with the biggest difference being that snooker players have the longevity to play well into their 40s. Not to mention the seismic shift in culture from becoming less popular in the U.K and more popular in China leading to a transitional phase of top pros. I think we were really lucky to have Davis/Hendry/ROS one after the other and it could well be a decade or two before another comes along.
@@jtmmmm27 But what he said is correct I mean even the likes of Trump can't compete with the real top dogs right now and he's meant to be one of the best.
Which mark
Regardless, snooker won't be the same without Ronnie and the rest of the class of '92. It's amazing that these people continue to stay competitive at their age, going deep in major ranking tourneys, and keeping their top 16 card. Absolute top blokes. Ronnie raises a fair point about there being no talented younger players - I mean, you can't really lump Trump with the new gen anymore, dude's almost in his mid thirties. And what's the average age of a top 16 player? I'm genuinely horrified what will happen to the sport once the likes of O'Sullivan, Higgins, Williams, etc. are gone. We'll just have K. Wilson v Trump finals 90% of the time, not that it's a bad thing in itself, but snooker desperately needs young blood.
Jak Jones is on the way
I agree with you mate, Ronnie not only is a top class that raised the professional game to level it is today he also attracts new audiences that would not necessarily be interested in snooker, even people with the least bit of intent in snooker will have heard of Ronnie and they watch the game because of him.
Not only young blood, but we need young characters, not robots, with a lot of talent
Historically cuesports have been dominated by old guys. It's not exactly a physically demanding "sport"...as long as you got your eyes
I wonder what drives them?
Cheers for compiling this.
I love how Mark Williams lumps himself in with 'the rest' despite being a three time world champion and all time great.
Shows his utter humility. Top bloke.
Because he doesn’t really believe it! He’s only spouting off like that because it’s an opportunity to have a dig at Ronnie. He’s got a bad case of the green eyed monster and is NOT the “nice guy” people think he is.
@@KillianDefaoite or he just wants the opportunity to take a dig at Ronnie while making himself look humble?
@@DEAJP10 you sound more rattled and jealous than him
@@tylerowen8982 really?
I’m jealous of Mark Williams!? lol. Or
Do you mean I’m jealous of Ronnie? Nah, just a big fan of his incredible skill and genius. Have been for 30 years. Not a fan of Williams. You like some sportsmen and women and dislike others or do you love everyone? I doubt you “love everyone”. Do you understand the definition of “jealousy”? Am I Annoyed? Definitely and I totally admit it, but jealous? I suggest you invest in a dictionary…
Ronnie is hilarious, his best line so far in this year's interviews...'you know he's young - I know he doesnt look that young...' 😂😂😂😂
That's true; I thought he was in his 40s
Of course, you know, it had to, you know, include "you know" you know 😂😂😂😂
@@scienceevolves4417 it's the only part of his conversation I can interpret, ya know!
Listening to rafaei's reply reminds me, need to book a taxi to go to work on Tuesday, my car is due for an mot.
Obviously obviously obviously obviously . The jester from Leicester not only is the life and soul of the party but he is eloquent
Vafaei has created this fued in his own mind
😂 I think so too. I don't think ROS gives a sh*t the same way lol hope Ronnie whoops him with a session to spare ha
@@PapiQaz Ronnie has psyched him further by not reacting. Ronnie for the win but Vafaei gotta do better today
@@PapiQaz well he won it with a session to spare, what did he do with the extra time that he saved? I bet w**nked himself 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Win something first mate.
Who?
I have to say this video was very well researched. Great job Bro!!
I don’t think Ronnie would be putting Mark Williams in the category of numpties
Well done putting this together !!😊
Ronnie was actually indirectly taking a dig a Barry Hearn . With him dong an impression of him talking like Barry. And to the snooker loopy reference (which was a song Barry made players do)
I thought that also
The guy had to “change his hero” to become a nicer person to his friends and family 😂
Weakest "prince" of Persia ever.
His new hero is Mark Selby
@@syedahmed1111 it is Shaun Murphy and Matt Selt that are his new heroes 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@stewartmcrae8007 lol, only player who can compete with Ronnie is Mark Selby.
@@syedahmed1111 Have you never heard of John Higgins or Judd Trump
He's such a nice guy when he's asleep.. 😂
The game needs great players like Ronnie, reason people watch the game
Rich words coming from murphy after saying amateurs take food off his table😂😂
He looks so hungry.
I literally see him in my gym in Dublin, he doesn’t train but hes always in the restaurant 😂
Thanks for this video mate, I haven't followed the tour for the last few years and didn't even know Vafaei till the other day.
Then your a yonni o trollivan fan not a snooker fan😊
Mark Allen looked like he ate the current Mark Allen
I thought maybe hiv turned to full blown aids
Lol but still he has always looked cute n peaceful
Mark Williams says it exactly how it is, he’s so right.
But O'sullivan wasn't talking about players like Williams.
@@wanderer1955 doesn't matter, Mark still rightly put o trollivan in his place 😊
@@scienceevolves4417 The person to "put O'sullivan in his place" hasn't been born yet, son. And it certainly isn't Williams. You keep disrespecting the greatest snooker player in history, and I will keep laughing at you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ScienceEvolvesOneFuneralAtaTime Were you born a 🔔 end or did you become one. Now tell me who's a better player than O'sullivan. Oh that's riiiiiiiiight! you can't!! Because there isn't anybody😊🖕
Vafaei should learn the meaning of respect, Ronnie gave him a good thrashing but at the end of the match Ronnie was the better man too put his arm round him and move on.
So you forgot to mention that Hussain Vafaei had thrashed Ronnie 5-0 in another tournament prior to the WC.
Ronnie is a class act! ❤️
The best the sport has even seen.
The worst sport the sport has ever seen.
No, Mark Williams shows he’s the class act and not Ronnie.
A class act on the baize, a see you next Thursday off the baize!
Your "class act" just lost seven frames in a row 😂😂
@@frankhinstine9161 shoosh, don't be so quick you know. Give them numpties some extra time to come up with some "excuses"...
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤭🤭🤭🤭😂😂😂😂
Ronnie didn’t mention any names when he called amateurs numpties, why did Vafaei take it personally though? 🤡
I think Vafaei was out of the top 64 at the time, which is who Ronnie was talking about
I think there must've been about a 100 of his relatives there on a particular day causing a ruckus, making Ronnie angry
You can tell Vafaei is a lovely fella, his morals are in the right place. This definitely affected his game though, massive learning curve for him. This is a sport, it is ok to keep Ronnie as your hero at snooker as he is the greatest ever. Proved it again today.
What a player!!!
Love you Ronnie,.Mark Williams, Ronnie never said the rest of the tour were crap, just the players coming through,HE'S WRIGHT!
Right* Moron.
To be fair, ronnie meant the younger players, not Mark Williams and other top guys
It’s incredibly disrespectful either way
It's not disrespect it's truth are you telling me there are any new players that are emmiting skill levels of Hendre Williams or o'sullivan? If the younger lot can't beat the older lot then what ronnie says is right he would need to lose an arm and a leg to get beaten by the newer players which would mean they need to step their game up. Constructive criticism
"You don't beat your heroes, man, you listen to them." - Jamie Foxx (about Mr. Al Pacino!)
Ronnie you are a great snooker player! Good luck, peace and happiness to you.
It started just bc he’s mad Ronnie is still competitive. He’s sad bc he thinks Ronnie is tryna disrespect him. Like no Ronnie is just answering questions professionally and tryna resolve what’s been said back n forth. He isn’t gonna say I’m sorry I can’t stop playing snooker, and this dude got offended whenever Ronnie was talking abt a younger generation in the beginning. I’m sure the interviewer told mark williams that Ronnie was talking abt everyone as well. Whenever he was saying that the new young generation isn’t playing the game as well as they could be. And people who chose to be offended have no confidence in their game.
Characters like Ronnie you just embrace. Sublime and a character what more could you want.
He is what he should have, more's the pity.
Ronnie LOVES getting comments like Vafei’s, I think it keeps him motivated 😂😂😂
What is brecel saying? He agreed ronnie should retire? Fools...
Vafei tried too hard to be Ronnie when he smashed the pack today. When Ronnie smash the balls, it's cool. When Vafaei smash the balls, it's numpty!
This is exactly what snooker needs. No reason why grudge encounters should only be reserved for sports such as Boxing. Snooker needs a little spice to retain the interest of viewers.
Ronnie is Ronnie, take him or leave him , either way he won't care , 😅
This is the entertainment we all need. We need some drama in snooker to make it more interesting. Big up to Vafaei and Ronnie.
@@AD-kv9kj That's why snooker is dying a very quick death. Soon snooker won't attract enough viewers which means BBC/Eurosport and other companies won't be interested in funding the sport anymore as it's not worth it. With a bit of drama like this, it brings more excitement. Look at how much press this Vafaei vs Ronnie beef got. You're a 'grown up' so I assume you watched snooker at its peak. Unfortunately, those days are gone. Once Ronnie retires it's all over.
Ah, the 'grown up' deleted his comment. Shame.
Not from Hossein though, he's crap. Get Selby or someone like that to start talking shit about Ronnie, at least then it'll be exciting and it'll actually be a competitive match if they meet in the final.
Imagine, he started playing snooker because of Ronnie :)
Legend for doing this
Now I just realized..Vafaei is 20 yr younger than Ronnie...🙄 Hardly believe he is that young. 😓
Ronnie is the greatest talent snooker has ever seen
bringing you,re family to watch you is a good thing.
Ty
Quick reality check Vafaei you have won how many titles oh only a shootout and Ronnie has won more world titles than you will most probably get in your whole career. So I guess you can say the guy can be cocky from time to time. Going to be a great match to watch and can't wait.
Ronnie is speaking sense
Vafaei the kind of person who will chase a butterfly when he see it
Mark Selby is right. Good to see also that Ronnie is in such good mood!
The pair of them know exactly what they are doing. And I love it. It was good for the sport. 😂
Ronnie doesn't retire just because some numptie urging it, he retire when he proves you are numptie
Sean’s input was gold😂
Ronnie is an amazing player ..but he is disrespectful calling players numpties...it's not nice to put other players down because they have less skill then him
Absolutely, too many people can't separate their admiration for a player from things they do or decisions they make. Ronnie was absolutely in the wrong in this.
Love Ronnie when he retires it's going to be boring never shut up ron 👍
Haha even more of a legend for speaking his mind and using a word like numpties... it’s a very gentle word, he’s being kind actually!
Love it
A little banter is good for any sport, it’s also totally free publicity.
Memo to Vaffy: Until you are the GOAT, never tell the GOAT what to do.
I was going to say it was staged between them both but that last interview man, I don't know. It may be real. This is gonna be one heck of a match!!!!
Judging by how Vafaei played against him today, I think it's kinda personal for him. He played like an idiot.
It's definitely staged. Brings more interest and attention to the sport.
Netflix are now interested 😂
Mark Williams is still showing he loves the fact the he still loves the competition and Ronnie too! Would love to be able half as good as them all..
"If my A game comes out, I'll get knocked out in the second round of the World Championship - 13-2"
There’s more important things than a game of snooker you get cups of tea and you get fresh air
Absolutely fantastic 😂
Once a Numpty, always a Numpty..😂
Reporter knew what she was doing saying whose mouths are we trying to shut😂😂
Murphy looks like he is about to burst into nessun dorma!
Or a massive korma lol
Genius comment 😀
Cracked me up mate , john ere thailand 18 years.
Hahahahahahaha UA-cam comment section is peak comedy. This is up there with the best.
When ur as good as Ronnie. Dont expect normality.
So it was all a façade. I'm glad to see it.
Ffs i felt so happy for an Iranian to be this succesful at first. You fcuked it all up mate
Now I know why vafaei smashed the balls on his break off. He was copying when ronnie did in the past.
Ronnie's such a nice person when he's asleep 😂😂
2/12/23 this mug has been humbled so much that Ronnie is his idol again. He has also reverted to swearing at his family and generally being disrespectful to them, just so his can continue to emulate his idol.
Calm down it was a bit of banter
2:17 is the shot of the numpties
Where's the interview for the first 40 seconds from?? Never seen this, I thought it was fake at first!
Best person what's ever lifted a cue!!
Not only is Ronnie O'Sullivan the GOAT he's hilarious 🤣
when ronnie said numpties vaifai assumed he is refering to him because that is really what he is
Mark Selby obviously likes the word 'Obviously'😂....but his impersonation of Anton Du Beke needs more work😂
Thanks for the video! Can some one explain how did Ronnie disrespect vafaei family
@@SnookerIsRonnie ah ok now I got it thanks.
But still it's one the dumbest thing I've ever heard! 🤣🤣🤣
@@SnookerIsRonnie well he also said yoni is a nice person when he's asleep which is true! 😅
met em both ..never usually agree with ROS but he is right on Vafaei from my experience..still great to have a bit of rivalry
'Numpties' that describes snooker players in general!
Understand Hossein Vafaei he is 28 years young and got hammered by 13 to 2 by Ronnie who is 47. So 19 year gap, at this rate he may get close to Ronnie give or take little another 60 years he will close the gap 2 wins every 19 years.
the golden era of snooker has passed by 40 years ago when the game had true characters...as ronnie says...it's full of numpties now..
Brings a bit of spice to snooker
Yeah true.
.
❤and then there are legends.
The way they turn their heads when Ronnie said it turns him on lmao
😅'Feud' is something between someone who won't, and someone who can't...Ronnie is neither.
Mark Williams and Shaun Murphy, my 2 favourite players, talk a lot of sense. All players should be respected, unless they actually deserve not to be.
Luca Brecel and Hossein Wifi seem to be dating
I still dont understand how Mark Williams thought Ronnie was talking about players of his quality when he made the comments he made.
Mark Williams doesn't know how good he is. He never knew it. If he had, he would have won a lot more. So no wonder he thinks Ronnie is talking about him. Sad that people at the top level don't know and understand better than Mark Williams. Pathetic actually.
If ronnie was an average player most pro players wouldn't even shake his hand, atleast vafaei says whats in his heart
If only the UN was like Mark Williams then the world would be a good place.
Ronnie is going to win 13-6 this match but it could be worse, Vafaei took on the Giant of Snooker and got Squashed
Ended up being a 13-2 win for Ronnie
Shaun Murphy nailed it, and Mark Selby (who I’m not a fan of) showed his competitive nature, he wants to win by beating ROS.
"Obviously" :)
Mark Selby vs Ronnie O’Sullivan final will be a cracker like 2014. Will be the best final ever…
@@syedahmed1111 obviously 😊 so obviously we can all look forward to it.
Guy Ritchie should make another snatch or lock stock. Ronnie would be a perfect cast member for it.
No-one commenting on what Luca Brecel said?
Very funny 🤣
It’s just all fun and games. Gives the game a bit of Well needed publicity.
Now the rocket just keep on winning tournaments.... Its crazy if think of his age
