Selt is a right arse for behaving like that in front of the kid. He was very clearly apologetic about it, there was no reason to further make the boy feel even worse about it. Terrible attitude.
That was sad. Possibly the best day of that kids life. I hope he apologises to the lad next time he sees him or even better, send him a nice xmas gift.
Selt is clown because of how he reacted. I can understand that emotions are involved but "Who is to blame if you are losing a game 5-4 from inexperienced, young player? The fluke or yourself?" Its not the fluke that gave Zizins the match. He won 5-4. It's not 1 frame or 1 pot. It's a whole match. A match that Selt normally should win 5-2 or 5-1 due to experience / skill gap. So his behaviour in the end making it look like Zizins won by luck is clown move.
If Selt changed his attitude I feel he would be much more successful. He seems to be the most negative player on the tour. Flukes are part of the game, that kid didn't deserve to be punished with behaviour like that
I love Snooker and have never watched Zizins, but I feel like he portrays himself very well here showing empathy. Though he will soon have to lose that feeling of guilt if he is going to succeed in elite level sort :)
Don't you think possibly it is something much deeper in Matthew's life and this was just something that brought it out I'm not excusing how he behaved but think it wasn't just a fluke which cost him the match.
@@UXB-p5u100 %most people commenting don't realise they are literally playing to put food on the table at his level lots of stress and pressure not just from the game which is hard enough.If you work hard to provide for your family you should be able to relate to his stress.Hopefully someone checked in on him because he needs some help there.
Proper gamer rage by Selt. Seriously though. If you are highly competitive, its difficult to lose at times. But at the very least he should properly apologize to the kid after cooling down.
@@ColinFlowersCarter's a bitter angry wee man so he is m8! He's another one that thinks he's much better than what he is & is bitter at the fact his trophy cabinet is very empty looking despite all his years in the game! Selt's the same, talks a gd game n that!
We know it's very hard to stay consistent at top level but this certainly isn't gonna help Matt Selt. Hope this doesn't affect the kid's confidence in forthcoming matches.
Video inspired by Selt's little tantrum I see! Hahah fair enough, good shout. Btw the captioned commentator at 4:16 is the legend Willie Thorne (RIP), but maybe you knew that, Mr Anon AI-voice Snooker :) Decent compilation mate
I've seen the Rory McLeod v Dave Gilbert incident before, but I still cannot decide what Rory was actually arguing about! Matt Selt incident is a new one, but get the impression he can be a bit of a baby.
It must be close for the Rory one, but surely the ref can just place a red to show that both sides of the green can be hit, if he CAN'T, then Rory's right.
The issue with Selt is that he thinks he's far better than he actually is. In his mind he's up there with Ronnie and Higgins. This disconnect with reality means he gets upset when he has no real right to.
I watched it the other night and it was a shameful act of petulant behaviour from Matthew. It was embarrassing to watch and completely unbecoming behaviour from a professional sportsman; someone that I had quite a lot of respect for up until now. Flukes happen in snooker and the luck runs for and against you. I felt for the lad, he certainly didn’t deserve to be disrespected and to made to feel worse than he already did. He deserves a sincere apology.
Selt is a total disgrace, very unsportsmanlike, terrible attitude. He should be banned for life and fined for the pathetic outburst. It was like watching a petulant kid in the playground - How embarrassing ? This isn't the first time he spat his dummy out and it won't be the last 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Total respect to the referee and Zizine for putting up with that.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but when I first started watching in the 70s and 80s, there was none of this. It's all about being mature and acting in a responsible manner. In the old days - being a gentleman.
Anyone that's played snooker will understand the frustration of losing a frame by an absolute fluke, especially if it's not the first of the game. Up the legion we have adopted having beer mats given for flukey plays/snookers 😂😂😂
I think what made it worse for Selt is that the fluke happened after Zizins foolishly attempted to make a ridiculously-hard pot that not even Ronnie or Judd would attempt! He was probably delighted to see he was going for the pot and assumed he would be back at the table after Zizins inevitably missed.
Sent can be pissed off aw he wants, end of the day his own doing it got to that point anyway. If he played better and was ahead 5 4 frames for example, then the fluke would have less impact overall, so his own fault. Good on the kid, hope he has a successful snooker career, we need more Brits coming through to takeover from the aging older pro's.
He potted a colored ball (the black at the bottom into the bottom left pocket). Pocketing a colored ball when: During the first shot or break, When the object ball is a red ball, Or after pocketing a colored ball, another ends up in a pocket in the same shot. The opponent receives compensation in value of the color of the ball (red 1, yellow 2, green 3, brown 4, blue 5, pink 6 and a black 7). "Foul shot" or "failure to hit the red ball first" (wording depends on the referee), especially during the break shot gives the opponent either the opportunity to play from where the cue ball lies after the shot (play the position) or ask for a rerack if the break is invalid (the table is unsatisfactory for continued play). The non-offending player cannot force the offender to play the position unless they themselves play it first.
Not sure why clip around 6.45 is in there. Ronnie played a few shots respectfully , he was awkward bridging by the cushion so switched to left hand, and with no easy way back to baulk , just caught it to thin , also Seemed quite calm so not sure . If a mishit safety makes the most disrepectful moments category, theres 100000 + others.
Snooker is a fickle mistress. One minute she's bestowing gift after gift after gift, upon you. Next she's kicking you all over the place, and when you are down she kicks you even more LOL
That are emotions and thats it. I play pool and broke a few cues. Not angry on your opponent but angry on yourselve you missed important easy shots. And then your opponent gets a lucky. Yeh you trip out if its you caracter
Re. Selt, the “oh my god!!” was bad enough, but maybe forgivable. But to keep it going for a few minutes after? Come on man.. No one can forgive that …
Calling a miss on the last one is kind of harsh. The left middle pocket is clearly in the way. Playing with any left hand side like Ronnie did will only tighter the angle as the black will be covering the yellow even more.
It`s always the same faces being bad sports in snooker, Ronnie, Wilson, McGill, Carter, Allen, and Trump. Mark Williams is another right pain in the shuck with his daft single handed shots, and odd break offs.
I would always defend Ronnie on the incident in the World Champ final, if anything, Referee Marteel was being disrespectful for having to ask Judd to wait before taking his shot only to talk to O'Sullivan for something he did that nobody else was aware of, only irritating both players.
I've seen several players get mad when the other player flukes one in. That is so stupid. It happens. Just part of snooker and pool. Get over it. And then I've seen some people crying when they themselves fluke one in. They are so upset. Lol. You should be happy. You just won the match. You don't flaunt it but you don't have to cry about it. Lol.
That's what can happen if your opponent is in front in the deciding frame. Maybe play better next time so you don't give your opponent a chance of winning.
I've said it before but the powers that be need to hire Steven seagal to stand near the referee at every match..any trouble and Steven will do some kind of ninja stuff and immediately there will be no more nonsense
You would've never seen childish petulant behaviour like this from players such as the great Ray Reardon and John Spencer. Back then sportsmen were gentlemen. Sportsmen these days just throw their toys out the pram.
I don’t know which one they’re classing as disrespectful with Ronnie O’Sullivan and Mark Selby. Ronnie strange behaviour in conceding the frame. Or Mark Selby’s decision not to take the free ball when Ronnie went in off. Yeah Ronnie’s behaviour was strange in conceding the frame. But Mark refused the free ball where he could’ve played the Brown into the middle as it would’ve counted as a red. So, I don’t know about that one …
I feel a bit sorry for Selt shat he did was wrong but people seem to think all snooker player's have loads of earnings. They don't their whole lives are on these game's literally the house they live in and kids xmas is on the line people slagging him off should be able to relate to the stress and pressure of providing for you're family before they get the knifes out.
Selt should be banned and go on an anger management course..big baby and Mcleod doesn't even know the rules of snooker..impossible to be a free ball in that exact situation
O'Sully "I just wanted to banana it in the pocket! But the pocket couldn't take it. " 😮 oh no, Ronnie, it wasn't you making a mistake, not the great Rocket Ronnie 😉 😮 its the pockets fault
Not many Ronnie comments!! I think he’s a petulant bully some of the time and should be called out for it but so many ignore it. I don’t care how good a player you are. Happens too often. Grumpy and unprofessional when things aren’t going his way.
Selt is a right arse for behaving like that in front of the kid. He was very clearly apologetic about it, there was no reason to further make the boy feel even worse about it. Terrible attitude.
The only player who can react like that is the player who has never fluked an important shot. I've never met that guy.
Like Salt has never fluked a ball 🎉 seems like he had a bit of money trouble coming his way , hence the toys out the pram .
Matthew Selt was an asshole his whole career already.
@@AndrewNeilBaird "Salt". I see what you did there. 😁😁
That was sad. Possibly the best day of that kids life. I hope he apologises to the lad next time he sees him or even better, send him a nice xmas gift.
If thats how he chooses to act, long may the flukes against him continue.

I feel so sorry for Artemijs after that. Should have been a fantastic moment for him which was completely ruined.

Wilson smashing the red and fluking it after getting angry at missing the first one is comedy gold
Not about wilson😮😮
Matthew is disgrace its not the first time
Is ronnie also a disgrace then? 3 quarters of this video is him
@@oscarrowley9504yeh sometimes
Selt: have you ever fluked a ball at all???
Don't you think possibly it is something much deeper in Matthew's life and this was just something that brought it out I'm not excusing how he behaved but think it wasn't just a fluke which cost him the match.

Seriously though. If you are highly competitive, its difficult to lose at times. But at the very least he should properly apologize to the kid after cooling down.
wonder how he would fare in csgo. I know id scream bloody murder :D
Hence why Selt is the most disliked man in snooker.
On par with Carter
@@oohello1234 Agreed!

Matthew Selt his no where near to being one of the more hated players on the tour.
Don’t worry kid, everyone gets a fluke, it’s not your fault it came at a deciding time .

So Selt has never fluked a ball, eh? What a bell-end?
The issue with Selt is that he thinks he's far better than he actually is. In his mind he's up there with Ronnie and Higgins. This disconnect with reality means he gets upset when he has no real right to.

Someone struggling for money just before Christmas
Or with the bookies.
I’ve always thought selt was a piece of work
Angered bald man Phil and Grant's brother 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Oy, leave us baldies alone. Reported for baldism!
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but when I first started watching in the 70s and 80s, there was none of this. It's all about being mature and acting in a responsible manner. In the old days - being a gentleman.
Hopefully this gets dealt with asap, has to be stamped out, got to be a suspension at minimum. Fine won’t cut it
Great video
The last match ronnie would've taken the free ball. I guess mark selby wasnt balsy enough to finish the match. Smh
M Selt is a disgrace. He should apologise for such behaviour.
That first one... i get it lol. It can be such an evil game.
Anyone that's played snooker will understand the frustration of losing a frame by an absolute fluke, especially if it's not the first of the game. Up the legion we have adopted having beer mats given for flukey plays/snookers 😂😂😂
Selt was a total cry baby here and appeared to be disrepectful as well by conceding when the player is still at the table.
Selt out played 😂 this player played well to beat him I hope he said gg when he walked off haha
Gary Wilson's fluke was awesome.
Jesus, Selt! How old are you? Show sone damn respect. How do you expect to win anything when you act like that?
If that was me against Selt i'd be laughing.....loudly. Bad losers always make me laugh. :)
I think what made it worse for Selt is that the fluke happened after Zizins foolishly attempted to make a ridiculously-hard pot that not even Ronnie or Judd would attempt!
He was probably delighted to see he was going for the pot and assumed he would be back at the table after Zizins inevitably missed.
Poor young lad playing Matthew selt. I’d be embarrassed to play him knowing he lost his temper

@4:45 Un-Nooh had a chance for a 154 break .
Judd went on a roll in the Northern Ireland Open after losing in the first round in 2017 and he won it three years in a row!
Selt losing feels so satisfying
Damn Selt is a bad looser great finish by zizins
People who know the rules better than I do, what is the matter with the break around 4:33 ? Too hard?
He potted a colored ball (the black at the bottom into the bottom left pocket). Pocketing a colored ball when:
During the first shot or break,
When the object ball is a red ball,
Or after pocketing a colored ball, another ends up in a pocket in the same shot.

That last one shouldn't have been a miss. There was no angel even with English to be able to hit the yellow.
That is whats Ronnie thought...and he eventually concedes the frame that way
I think that was a free back for Rory. The black is a little too high up to hit the extreme side of the green.
That are emotions and thats it. I play pool and broke a few cues. Not angry on your opponent but angry on yourselve you missed important easy shots. And then your opponent gets a lucky. Yeh you trip out if its you caracter

What about Hann v Hicks who wanted a fight.
It’s easy to get pissed playing snooker
Flukes are part of the game. I personally would have punched the air in delight and laughed at the mard árse, Selt, at his reaction.
Selt is such an egomaniac. How cn you be angry about a fluke? Unbelievable...
It`s always the same faces being bad sports in snooker, Ronnie, Wilson, McGill, Carter, Allen, and Trump. Mark Williams is another right pain in the shuck with his daft single handed shots, and odd break offs.

Didn’t know Cru could play snooker.
Selt would never have pulled that shit against Maguire or Vafai.
Bad temper more useful for boxing than for snooker, I'd say.
Ronnie is a disgrace to referees.
Selt comes across as a bit odd to me.
Every time I've seen him or seen interviews with him, something seems a bit eccentric or off with him
Selt deserves a ban for quite some time now. what a clown
Ronnie did NOT try his best in the end.
Flukes are part of snooker if you can't accept that then your in the sport.

roonies looks like a child sometimes
Just emotions. Its just against yourself
Selt looked like he was on summit last year in that semi I think it was on tv eyes were allover
What a complete Plonker well done Kid
My god the loss of control
How is playing confident exhibition shots on frame ball being disrespectful, especially when they result in good position?
Its either disrespect to his opponent or Ronnie is lost his temper(2nd part of the title)
Simple😅
Probably had the house on the win

Absolutely no
He should be fined for this

Should get a time ban. No room in sports and pastimes for unsportsmanlike behavious
