Amongst all the gossip comments, let's not forget how much time and effort the uploader has put in this edit. No cuts in between sentences. Very informative subtitles and good editing overall. Thank you for your efforts good sir.
I agree !
Agree, this is a fantastic summary for the match. As I missed the live I wouldn't have watched a replay but this is perfectly edited and the perfect length.
Subtitles were a bit too much and unnecessary, but other than that, good job!
Never seen the like. Big up mr. +cesar muroya
TOTALLY agree Sreeraj........
The real victory is that, When the whole crowd waiting to see you lose. Brilliant shots Mark.
He made sure he would win. Otherwise, he would get a lot of stick!
It wasn’t in his hands - in frame four Rheanne had a red to finish him off and it just stayed out.
@@Wally-H mark was playing with her 😂
Unlucky. You’re not gonna clean sweep 5 frames. That’s the difference, she didn’t produce - he did.
Hendry is probably one of the best commentators
Didn't like hendry back in the 90s as I was a white fan..but he has grown on me as a person.he was a machine bk then.
@@grayeves3309 He certainly was. Regarding his one eyed sighting comment with Reanne Evans, he himself was slightly right eyed and briefly tried centralising his cueing, following the breakage of his original cue and poor results with the new one. It didn't work and he soon returned to his normal sighting method but the magic seemed to have dimmed with the loss of his old faithful wand.
It took him a while to settle into this. I remember him 5+ years ago when he was known for "negative commentating". He focussed on the weaknesses of players always seemed to communicate the subtext "to be great (like me?), you have to be better than that". But he has learned quickly that commentating is about positiveness. And this match is the perfect example. Cannot imagine a commentator being more positive about both players here. And his insight is of course phenomenal. So yes, I totally agree with you. :-)
He’s not a proper commentator and his English is full of mistakes. Some insights are good though.
@@donovanreimer2324 I find it refreshing to hear spoken English on TV. Nice to hear different accents as well.
Nice to see Mark in a much better place in his life both physically & mentally now.
Love how Mark Allen really didn’t give a shit about this match and still beat her.
he gave a shit. He played nervous and unfocused. Good that he won.
@@maruda1280 It was her that played nervous and unfocused, that's why she lost...
@@paullooper1090She lost because Mark on a bad day is still a far superior snooker player and always will be
What were you watching? He won comfortably.
A great video!
Never in my entire life wanted Mark to win this bad!
Mr. MJO Yes, that seems to be the general consensus. I was sweating there for a while !
The snubbing of the fist bump at the start of the match.. Any thoughts?
@@evansonwaithaka8744
That was disrespectful not only to Mark Allen and all other players, but also to the whole game of snooker!
Mr. Myself JO I can see why this got so many likes. Unfortunately, I've witnessed a few acrimonious couples splitting up, and to be frank, snubbing him is better than a kick in the balls! I respect snooker' traditions but If I was Reanne I would have probably done the same thing. I wonder how many of the 177+ likes even knew they were an ex-couple with a daughter.
@@dtrjones
İ understand your point, but breaking up with your spouse is something, and "respecting your opponent and the entire game" is something else! Their private stuff should be kept away from the game!
What she did would've been understandable if she'd done it in say a party or if they'd pumped into each other on the street or something, but NOT in an official snooker tournament on TV 😅😅
Any player , professional or beginner , refusing a handshake is poor sportsmanship and sends a message that doesn't give the GAME the respect it deserves.
Shes his ex and wen he was playing other month he asked officials to remove her from crowd lol
Yeah they're both in the wrong, it isn't good optics for either of them. Especially as Reanne is essentially the spearhead for women's snooker
ex's or not ... he or she is guilty of break up doesn't matter ... if you cant dissociate your private life from work life or from sport career like in this example ... you are poor person ...shame on you Reanne ....
@@zzzbyyy Alas, I was so surprised about her behavior, so I went down into comment section just to understand... (I did not know their private life, anyway... 🙄)
I do think your comment is the fairest and rational ❗ 👍
I suppose this woman has decided for some time that this man no longer deserves her respect. That is her right, of course, so why would she shake his hand? Respect for the game has nothing to do with this matter. Both opponents showed respect for the game by producing an excellent match.
These are the kind of matches I wish we went back to the days of no audience
Appreciate the editing Cesar
Imagine if Mark Allen had refused to shake hands!
yup plus notice how the crowd were acting too? cheering on on player and not the other
@@creeperkiller007 yeah unfortunately this world is sympathetic only towards women.
Well that would have been made it worse for Mark, if that was even possible!!
@@pezavenk696 yeah, he would have been publicly humiliated and made to pay fine for un sportsman like behaviour.
@@kshgarg1 Yes,
She should have given respect to Mark, as he did in entire match..
Adding some contextual notes would have helped!
According to Wikipedia, "In 2005, Allen began a relationship with women's world snooker champion Reanne Evans. They had a daughter, born in 2006, but ended their relationship in 2008. Following his breakup with Evans, Allen fell into a deep depression and had periods where he did not leave his home. He spoke openly about his vulnerability to depression and loneliness at this time, partly due to the amount of travelling required of a top professional snooker player."
May ALLAH bless Allen in future 🥰
So she is still mad after 15 years ?
@@French20cent Since they had a child together, they must have stayed in touch and we don't know how it's going. Their concern anyway.
@@French20cent Yes, apparently she is unhappy about how much child support he pays.
I think the real drama was that Allen said before the match that he didn't know what "the two women" (i.e. Evans) could bring to the tournament, since women are not as good players. This is why the crowd is against him here, because he made a chauvanistic comment.
Allen potted some difficult balls, made incredible positional shots, and had no applause at all. She has great touch, talented and experienced, but as Steven said, Allen is different class.
She couldn’t beat him when he was playing worse than I’ve ever seen him. She’ll never make it very far, especially being as unprofessional as she is
It made your point clear when she done that plant and the crowd went wild, Allen done one earlier to silence 😅
@@davidlane147 I agree with the fact she was unprofessional that day, but she’s won 12 world championships (a record in Women’s Snooker). Also, Mark Allen and Reanne Evans have a daughter, but aren’t together anymore which could be the reason why Evans refused Allen’s handshake.
@@SportAthlon_31 I meant she won’t make it anywhere in the men’s game. I know she’s probably the best ever female player but yeah, she can’t compete with the men
i mean. The pressure allen must've been having was horrendous. The entire crowd wanted him to lose. And the crowd wasn't being respectful either, shouting loudly every time allen missed, not giving him any applause. Thank god he pulled through on frame 5.
I’m glad Mark Allen won. He was the bigger person by offering to shake hands at the start. Handshakes are for sporting reasons, not personal reasons
Not wanting to shake a hand of a ex partner,,, who went to s court case and clearly both had issues ,, Shut up man,,,, bigger person,,,, They have a court case over seeing there child why would she go smiling shaking hands
@@Darts-kh2rs you talk about the bigger person? That’s Mark Allen
I know it may be insensitive but I'd by £25 for a 19 frame pay per view grudge match between these two. Ronnie + Selby in the commentator's box for extra tension.
Or the other way around...
@@adamroberts9962 Both of yours and Phil's suggestions are great! Hard to decide which is better...
Edit: Also, make it 35 frames, 19 is too short
In a two session match she wouldn't get close to Allen. 10-5 at best.
Best of 5's are always potential banana skins, especially with these circumstances
''Ronnie + Selby in the commentator's box for extra tension.'' I love how you added that part
She was outclassed - as a snooker player and a person.
NOT!
person? why?
Well i agree. It seems she is not a good person. U can see in her eyes.
I assume you are a troll, either that or you are being sarcastic. she started poorly but chose incredibly good shots and got better -Allen had many unforced errors.
@@90FloydChild Says someone who never talks to women other than family members
I thought the handshake snub was bad, but I read up on it... It turns out Mark Allen has a child with Reanne, and has legally challenged increasing the alimony payments for the child (currently only £100 per month, despite earning 6 figures.) He also requested that Reanne be removed from backstage during a tournament when she was due to be commentating. So there's a context that I think a lot of people in the comments section are overlooking.
Incel commenters nothing more
@@Dman40000 quality comment 😂
Thank for this comment. I knew there had to be more to it. £100 per month is shameful. I paid more than that to my ex and I'm earning way less than what Mark Allen earns. Whatever you feel about your ex, if you give a shit about your kids, you should pay whatever child support you can afford, within reason. £100 per month is just laughable for a man on a 6 figure income.
Not true though is it.
Great editing. The way you were able to get the commentators comments into the video and still edit out the time between shots was excellent. Look forward to more videos from you.
Concur. Thanks for the great edit Cesar! Allowed me time to actually watch this before bed. :-) 👍
Tell me you don’t know Cesar’s work without telling me you don’t know Cesar’s work.
No handshake, no class.
How could he spend 3 years with her under the same roof?! She has so much negative energy, it has distorted her face. There is fire in her eyes. Scary!
He pots some tough balls - few claps from the crowd
She pots easy ball - everyone goes crazy
Thought exactly the same. Both her and the crowd behaved poorly.
Same thing as they did in Darts with Fallon Sherrock maybe? The women power crew is really millitant...
Are u really crying about her having more fans? Jfc
@@titaniumtiger3314 I can't be sure, but, I think he was just making a comment about the behaviour of the crowd.
It's possible he was crying, but unlikely.
Not everyone, it sounds like its always the same couple of guys shouting like crazy. Great fans she has
Glad she lost, poor sportsmanship by Evans. It's clear by her whole demeanour that she has an axe to grind, where's typically with Mark Allen he is all about getting the job done although he was very mediocre by his standards, very professional by Allen.
Don’t judge a separate couple, she is the mother of his daughter, Alan is a real pain on this match. No reaction from him at the end
Why are the local football hooligans invited over to watch snooker?
No matter what happened off the table, I guarantee if it was a guy not a woman everyone would be screaming how unsportsmanlike she was. Thus possibly proving his point. I'm so glad he won.
He is a massively better snooker player - it would have been utterly mortifying for him to lose, without even adding the personal stuff into the equation
Well do you know their story personally?
"I'm so glad he won." Second fkng comment on youtube. Thanks for the spoiler.
@@prostynick We do this to ourselves, don't we? And I'm absolutely guilty of it. Scroll to comments before watching the video, get angry when it's spoiled.
@@s4tchm0j0n3s true that :-D
Honestly after watching this match twice I can't see how much more Allen could have done to give her the match, he played awful, putting balls up all over the place and she still couldn't win ??????? So glad she lost, no place for bad sportsmanship in snooker. It was that period where Allen was playing shockingly poor and clearly not focussed on the game at all.
Agree with you
@@igoryef If Allen had refused to 'fist bump' , he'd have got slaughtered .Evens was outclassed and mark never got out first gear .
Why would you watch it twice 😂😂😂
@@shane-irish first time before reading the comments, and a second time after lol
@@Brian.Martin.Trumpet fair enough
Gj mark. you won two games ... one snooker game and one sportsmanship
He was taken to court for not paying child support. That's not a hero, it's pathetic.
Get your facts straight.
@@gonzoraoul let's hope you never have to go through modern family court and find out how fair it is.
@@autarko What's that got to do with it? Real men pay for their children, they don't cry about it in interviews when they don't and then their ex won't shake their hand
@@gonzoraoul Yeah cause no woman has ever taken a man to court to get more money than they need out or spite or personal greed 😂
10:10 an expression to turn the milk sour added to refusing the handshake and a crowd of rowdy supporters. None of these are welcome imports to a game that has always prided itself on good conduct.
She rolls her eyes when Mark gets a cheer as well. No need for that kind of unsportsmanlike conduct
She rolled her eyes!? Goodness! She just ruined this game that I love for me forever!
@@dejannajdanovic976 well I suppose if you can't play snooker best you perfect the eye roll hey?
Yeah, I saw that watching the match, I even double checked! I thought I was the only one who noticed that 'micro aggression' as it's called (I think)
Wow. Who would have thought!? A simple eye roll gesture which to me was a sign of frustration for losing a frame actually was micro agression and who knows what else. If I ever come to Britain I must remember never to do such a agressive gesture or I might end up in real trouble
I don't care what their history is. Mark Allen was professional throughout the match. However; found Rianne Evans to be thoroughly unprofessional. She is clearly a good player and could go far in the game. But she is going to find a lot of irritation levied in her direction, by the others on the tour if she acts like this on a regular basis.
She's the best female player ever. No arguing about that. The causes or reasons behind that being as they may. She's still an incredibly successful player.
she's won 12 world titles,so she has gone far in the game,but the better person won.
How was she unsportsmanlike?? Not wanting to shake a hand of a ex partner,,, who went to s court case and clearly both had issues ,, Idiot
3:50. Stephen Hendry: “This is a great opening that Rhian has created for himself.”😂
Mixing someone's pronouns is a dangerous thing to do these days given all the woke bullshit that we have to suffer :-)
What a matchful of drama!
I appreciate the fantastic editing with very informative and insightful subtitles.
She didn't refuse the handshake, she did worse: totally ignored the Mark Allen presence.
I loved how was edited. I really loved the comments and subtitles. It is my first time watching a game. I had to google it before to understand what was happening. You should be reconized as a "preacher" of this sport. Thanks to your work I'm here watching this game. Thanks Cesar!
Is this why they call snooker a gentleman’s game?
This was really well edited. Thank you. Subbed!
What a thrill to watch your parents play each other in a professional match!
They aren't your parents.
Patience , focus is the key for win the game. Great game Mark u deserve this win . For Evans all i can say is she need to respect the opponent's and to be more sportsman in this genial game
Thanks for uploading this. I love this game.
Mark was really sportsman like, not just against Evans but also against Hossein Vafaei - Dave Hendon said that he was getting bottles of water for himself and Vafaei between frames
yeah lets not pretend that mark allen is a good sportsman
@@normanno8514 no, I just meant this week, normally he does do some controversial things
@@alokbilkhu fair enough
A great upload and well edited. A cracking match too with both players showing skill and thoughtful play. A good win and fight back from Mark.
How childish to refuse a handshake in a sport and match she chose to be in. Says a lot about who she is!!!!!
yep. got everybody rooting for mark.
it makes a really boring game, entertaining. as hendry said it was like watching those two irish lovebirds higgins and taylor all over again.
Or it says a lot about what kind of a partner Mark Allen is! Why shake hands with someone you loathe and despise?!
@@doonsbury9656 its called sportsmanship!
@@doonsbury9656 well we can't really comment who'se the bad guy in the relationship what goes on behind closed doors is their business, not really bothered to be honest, but mark was decent enough to do the right thing and offer his hand as he would with any other competitor.
The best editing I’ve seen on a snooker video. Thanks!
I wonder what everyone would have said if Mark refused the handshake!
Cesar is absolutely the Master of editing. If only he wasn’t such a Ronnie fan…..oh well, no one’s perfect.
half of this comment wins, the other half sucks 🤣🤣
also, awesome editing as usual 😅
this needed to be called ‘battle of the ex’s’
The edit to these videos is something else 🔥 so good!
Well, I must say she snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in this match!
Mark Allen a true Gentleman, well done, you obviously were the better player.
i wanted him to win this , but her aside and there problems , mark allen is a wanker in reality
The crowd was a disgrace
Revenge of not shaking hands 😂
Sweet.
Ahh. I was wondering why this match was being given the hype. Just read the comments.
And yes, Cesar has one of the best snooker channels. Great job. Keep it a 👍
WOW, watching this video really highlights how much progress Mark Allen has made in bringing his weight under control in just a few years. Proud of you, Mark.
Mark allan done so well to lose all the weight that he’s lost, great to see him back playing at his best this year
A great comeback Joseph, 7 stone he’s lost - no more drink, fast food, medication etc and has beat all the odds.
mental health is an awful thing these days, I’m from Crumlin too and have met him a couple of times - he always has time for people and does a lot for charity also, he’s good friends with Joe Swail from the Markets 👍 ☘️
My favourite snooker channel on UA-cam always brilliant edits gracias cesar amigo 👍👌 also cesar ronnie fan like myself also hopefully soon to be 8 time world champion😊😉
He visto a Mark poco concentrado, quizá la negativa de Reanne a saludarle le descolocara. El público, que no me ha gustado nada, estaba más con Reanne que con Mark. Pero al final Mark ha demostrado porqué es quien es. Gran video.
Her pathetic excuse for snubbing the handshake is clearly a lie. She is clearly looking over smugly when she snookers him in the last frame. Glad Mark won.
Not wanting to risk catching covid was the excuse
They have a child and are no longer together. That's why she didn't want to shake hands.
@@joangumm3014 having a laugh surely lol.
Really good edit this. Was as good to watch as the real thing. Well done pal
Great Editing.. An impressive recording/captions that creates a live effect. Nice one ..
Thanks. Great editing and added value.
12:49 the eye contact opportunity missed😅
Diabolical of Allen to deliberately leave that red along the top cushion! Can't remember ever seeing such a cunning gamble.
Really enjoyed that especially the second frame, fantastic editing and upload Cesar Muroya you have a new subscriber here. Cheers.
Stephen hendry did it all the time.
@@stevenknight1198 No he didn’t do it all the time because he didn’t need to.
Hendry forced mistakes through granite and highly intelligent safety not leaving half chances and hoping his opponent would miss.
Don't know the history beyond an acrimonious breakup, but that was years ago... Surprised at the refusal of the handshake, but guess she has her reasons. EDIT// just to be clear -- I'm not saying she has good reasons (only they can know that, and probably wouldn't agree anyways...)
Her attitude probably brought back many unpleasant memories for Mark Allen. Probably remembering huge silent periods, slammed doors and cream puffs 😂🤔😂😂🤔
Mark Allen, Take a bow , Class , Dignity , Sportsmanship...
She embarrassed herself. Respect goes both ways.
Thanks for the upload
Thank u for uploading this. Really well put together. There is a deep personal division between these two. They behaved remarkably well for their daughter's sake
What an unprofessional, disrespectful little troll this woman has shown herself to be. When someone offers their hand in any sporting situation, you accept it for what it is
She still has hatred on her EX but she had to put this on a side and act profissional
may be she was unconcious
I thought same but I just found out they were going out for a while and I think it did not end well. Makes up for it a little imo
He is a piece of shit, he gives her £100 per month in child support despite his earnings, she makes fuck all comparitively. And you would still shake his hand in her situation?
I love seeing ladies play this beautiful game 👍🏾
So nice playing together.hunestly ihave enjoy to watch thise geam. To person perfect
Was hoping for Mark Allen to win from the beginning, the man at face value has more respect for his opponent than the other way around.
How was she unsportsmanlike?? Not wanting to shake a hand of a ex partner,,, who went to s court case and clearly both had issues ,,
Solid snooker from Allen in 5th frame, just a few claps from the audience after some amazing shots. having hostile crowd in a snooker match is bad for the sport. Reanne was also a bit bitter i think
She's his ex and it was an acrimonious break up, she took him to court over wanting more maintenance money. Her family were there in droves to needle him.
Action speaks louder than words ❤
Pay child support ?
3:46 "This is a great opening Reanne has created for himself"
I don't think her refusing to shake hands, is anything to do with professionalism. We like characters in this game, we always have.
Agreed. If O'Sullivan refused to shake hands with someone, the same people would be hailing him as a legend for doing so
Cheers mate, excellent stuff. It's great to see women competing against men in sports like Snooker, darts, and so forth. There really shouldn't be any reason why they can't be competitive given a bit more time. In saying that, it'll be a while before we see anything major happening, but the odd miracle might well occur.
She didn´t shake Mark´s hand because they used to be a couple. But Mark did show great respect! Glad he won
Why didn't she shake hands?
Bit testy.
Wow great intense match indeed, can't wait to watch these two playing each other again! Handshakes? Who cares great to stuff to watch, thoroughly enjoyed watching these two 💯👍🏻
I have huge RESPECT for Mark ALLEN after watching this. Thank you @editor 🖤
The cream rose to the top in the end. Look at Mark Allen today, looks and plays like a million dollars.
I didn't know anything about the backstory until I read some of the comments after viewing. Was wondering throughout where the acrimony came from. Refusal of the handshake immediately put me on the side of Allen.
EXCELENTE. GRAN JUEGO.
Unsporting gesture from Evans in refusing the handshake. Personal matters shouldn’t spill into your manners at the table as a professional. Even if she won, it would’ve been a hollow one. Snooker is a gentleman/woman’s sport after all.
Great editing. Thank you
Brilliant stuff ❤️
Looking for this match for few days. Most of the playing time I guess Allen try to lose to his ex. Pls look at his safety shots, no way he can be that bad at his level regardless how much pressure he had
This is when mark said screw it , i need to get fit .i wish shawn murphy would give the treadmill a go ...the guy would be Unstoppable, going by the improvement in allens game from fitness
Why is it that women can play against the men in the men's league but men are not allowed to play in the women's league?
Because women's league would become another men's league?
Great Game Thanks for video!
Something tells me they aren't on each other's Christmas card list...
Humildade é essencial!
So many red flags this woman shows. Glad for Mark, that he is free now.
Excellent Shots from Mark.
They say if you want to see the real woman, watch a highlight reel of a 5-frame snooker match with her ex. It reveals all.
I'm all for supporting players in the theatre, but this was almost unbecoming at times. It's not a darts match...
After refusing the 'gentlemanly' handshake at the start, I've never before wanted Mark Allen to win so much! The handshake is a respect to the game of snooker, nothing to do with anything in your private lives. Maybe Reanne should stick to playing against women... or not at all if she can't be decent. Congratulations to Mark for holding out to a victory against both Reanne AND the hostile crowd! A new fan to the gentleman Mark Allen... and the birth of a hatred now for that woman who just had to bring their recent past to the game AND show it! She'll probably get tons of support from men in particular. I wonder why? Not from me she won't! Now fire off your anger at me if you wish... for my notifications are off!
Well said and completely correct.
Well said 👌👌👌
Hear hear mate. Exact feelings. No matter what history you have, you need to be professional. Don't disrespect the game or the referee or the fans. Karma is a bitch no wonder she lost!
it's just not civil.
Reanne had that game really, but well played Mark. Like others in the comments I have to give a big shout to the editing of these. Great stuff whoever you are.
@Hugh Jarse Yeah, you have to pot the balls to win. What i should have said is she should have won it Hugh. 2-1 up, on the table 60 points ahead, and lost position. She also had another chance to clinch it and missed. She should have finished it but hey, that's snooker i suppose.
The best counter clearance I have ever seen.🎉
Really enjoyed this because of the tension. Glad Mark won. Have to admit Rihans a good player.
Great Allen! ❤️
Thanks for video
Refusing the handshake was really rude by Evans...
Allen's body language at the start of the decider suggested he instinctively wanted to shake hands. Evans didn't even consider the customary handshake. Devotion vs emotion
Thanks for the video. Not handshaking was immature.
