An absolutely brilliant episode.I've watched them all but this is my favourite. I could listen to Dominic Dale all day. Love how his commentary work always starts with "good afternoon everybody".
Dale nice guy , unlike Judd who thinks no end of himself, and yet cant win another world title to save his life! He will be remembered with the long list of one trick ponies 😂😂😂
Hey Stephen. I would love for you to get some of the female referees and have a game with them. We see them so much on TV but never get to hear about their passion for snooker.
What a character Dom is. Ridiculous brain on the guy. One of my favourite commentators as I watch Eurosport coverage nearly all the time. As far as his cues go, he travels all over to different cue shops checking out cues and having a play with them. I missed out on an opportunity to meet him once at craftsman cues in kippax just outside Leeds. A few of my friends met him and Dominic stayed to entertain them playing a few frames with them on the shop table. Even gave them a little bit of advice. Don't think he has ever let fame change his personality. He is just a genuine humble friendly guy who happens to love snooker and the history behind it.
I randomly met Dominic at a Snooker club in Huddersfield years ago, think he was visiting a friend of his. Although he was leaving, he was very happy to chat to me for a couple of minutes, lovely bloke.
Hah I used to work at Top Spot a good decade ago when he stopped by to play with a friend of his (Smudge). Seemed like a great guy at the time, very friendly!
He's correct about having a good vocabulary, I have lost count of the number of times he has been commentating and I have had to look up a word he said to see what it means.
Always loved Dom, pleasant, calm, funny fella. Also love how he includes us in this video as well, looking into the camera as if to keep the viewers in the context
Easily the most interesting of all the episodes. Such an eccentric and interesting character. Loved the story about the incident with Jimmy, can picture it 🤣
I grew up watching Dale play and a great player but he always reminded me of a social worker doing a case work down the local club. Don't mean that as an insult
Brilliant bloke Dominic, I believe he's a good mate of Joe Swail and I'd love you Stephen to invite Joe on. Joe has a great tale to tell and is one of Snooker's most popular players as you know and wow, that cue action 😮
Dominic just has that broadcasters voice just something about it that suits perfectly to commentary or producing content. It would be great to hear more of him in the studio once he packs in this cue.
He's a genuine guy he is always himself, and I hope he continues commentary it will be sad to not see him play again. I remember the story one year he drove to the wrong venue, lol
That was enlightening. Dominic is not someone who has ever been on my radar as im only a part time snooker fan. I’m glad you had him on as he seems to be a really nice bloke.
Absolute legend and to get the white in the middle bag twice at the end shows that this man has always known his way around the table! Happy retirement for the end of this season, Dominic from South Wales!! 🏴🏴🏴🏴
Dominic Dale is an excellent commentator. He knows his stuff and he has a pleasing voice. Why the BBC use Murphy and Wilson and Allen who are TERRIBLE is a complete mystery 🤔
People say snookers finished when Ronnie retires but the truth is Snooker will miss the likes of Dominic when he retires more than it will miss Ronnie. He's Snooker through and through. Knows the game inside out.
Brilliant episode. Dominic really is a character of the game. Made for great chemistry in this episode. Would love to have seen him win more. Lovehid commentary on the game too. The Jimmy comment.........🤣🤣🤣
New subscriber here I loved the 90s growing up and watching Stephen hendry in his hay day makes it more special I’m a Scotsman aswell (Inverness) never say your a bad player you have achieved everything in the game 7times world champion etc etc I was laughing at the nicknames when you said some I don’t want to hear lol great channel keep up the great work 🏆
First time unfortunately I`ve been able to see Dominic in a relaxed interview situation. What a sound guy he is. Gutted this is your last season mate, best of luck.
Dominic cones across as just a genuinely nice, chatty guy. Honest and down-to-Earth, not a hint of pretentiousness. Other than that shirt (I did adjust the picture 🥴).
Dom, you're a great commentator. You don't sugar coat it if you need to criticise something like a shot choice and you also give some technical insight others don't.
Does anyone remember a match Dominic lost a few years back and he was so disgusted that when he got back to his dressing room he snapped the cue in half and chucked it out the window me and my mate fell about laughing it was one of the most true reactions of a player having a crap day we’d ever seen we think he’s great great conversation again on this channel. Merry Xmas guys.
Dom is so different to the other players, a breath of fresh and vibrant air. He's also a fantastic commentator. He brings life and excitement to the game while also being tehnical and insightful. He seems like a great guy, too!
An absolutely brilliant episode.I've watched them all but this is my favourite. I could listen to Dominic Dale all day. Love how his commentary work always starts with "good afternoon everybody".
Always like it when commentators do that, obviously famously Richie Benaud's "morning, everyone" too
Yes I can hear him all day too
Dominic Dale is an absolute legend! Sad to hear he's retiring, but it means we'll see him more in the commentary box. Such an honest decent guy.
such a nice guy
Dominic has always been my favorite player, always with a smile on his face no matter what happened at the table
Maybe that's why he never won anything ha
@@Liverpool76-76 He won 2 ranking titles. It's not much but you're wrong.
@@TheArrow1987 🤣😂🤣
such a nice guy
@paulrichards6894 nice people never win in sports. Ask Steve or Steven
Still can’t find a video without Stephen saying’if I were in commentary, I’d say that was clumsy’
Love this guy 😂
a "that was clumsy" shirt will sell
I think he's just winding us up at this point. Haha
He has to know what he’s doing otherwise there’s something wrong with the fella
@@flucazade "Unforgivable" would be the money shot t-shirt.
The Stephen Hendry Drinking Game
Dominic is very insightful and a great commentator he’s made for UA-cam be good to be a regular on it!
I love it when he (or also Alan McManus) is commentating on a snooker match at eurosport.
yeh ive always liked dominic dale and mathew stevens
100% - he just goes with the flow, which is perfect for TV and commentating
@@TheArrow1987 By jingo's
Best guest yet! I totally agree he is the best commentator as well
Top bloke
What a fascinating and entertaining character Dominic is 🤣
Good ol' Dom. What a legend. Not seen him in Stroud for a while. Will chat to anyone. Very friendly bloke.
"The most polychromatic run of bean sticks you've ever seen". Could only be Dominic Dale😂
Dale nice guy , unlike Judd who thinks no end of himself, and yet cant win another world title to save his life! He will be remembered with the long list of one trick ponies 😂😂😂
Hahah I literally just heard that and commented on it too!!!🎉
"Runner bean sticks"
Brilliant, I could listen to Dominic for hours.
It was hard to hear this episode over Dominic's shirt. Really enjoyed it though, definitely have him on again.
😂 ONLY the Spaceman can throw phrases like "Polychromatic runner bean sticks" casually into a conversation about having used 30 cues. LEGEND👨🚀
Dominic is a top man and has a great future in the commentary box.
It’s great to see the human side of these players and hear about their highs and lows. Stephen has done a great job on this channel…a joy to watch
Hey Stephen. I would love for you to get some of the female referees and have a game with them. We see them so much on TV but never get to hear about their passion for snooker.
I've always wanted to know which referee is the best snooker player 🤔
Why specifically female refs, why not just refs?
Yeah that would be great. Any of the refs would be interesting, male or female.
Yeah get Michaela on!
Be good

It’s just taken me 10 minutes to compose myself after that tale about the comment to Jimmy. So funny 😂
What time is that at????😮
13:00😂😂😂
Dominic is a lovely guy, I’ve always admired him. Well done for getting him on the channel
By far this is the best cue tips I've watched. Absolutely love Dominic could listen to him all day.
Definitely the best one. The Jimmy white remark was priceless
Domanic is someone I could listen to all day, he’s great.
I met Dominic at the Welsh open at Newport, quite a few years back. What a lovely, genuine, nice guy he is.
I randomly met Dominic at a Snooker club in Huddersfield years ago, think he was visiting a friend of his. Although he was leaving, he was very happy to chat to me for a couple of minutes, lovely bloke.
He was very approachable during those visits.
What snooker club was this by any chance was it 'Top Spot'?
@darrenmorris2146 yes
Hah I used to work at Top Spot a good decade ago when he stopped by to play with a friend of his (Smudge). Seemed like a great guy at the time, very friendly!
@@RustyRoger that's crazy my dad used to take there all the time as a kid!
Great chat, Dom is a great character and that jimmy comment was just chefs kiss 😂
chefs kiss ? what does that mean ?
@@RITWINS kinda like the icing on the cake. The thing that 'completes' a good thing.
That was brilliant. You should change that horn ferrule to a brass ferrule. You should practise blacks off the spot and you'd be world champion.
😂😂😂😂
He's correct about having a good vocabulary, I have lost count of the number of times he has been commentating and I have had to look up a word he said to see what it means.
He’s a good lad is Dominic, I once bumped into him in Tebay services whereupon we had a lengthy conversation about Toad in the Hole.
Always loved Dom, pleasant, calm, funny fella. Also love how he includes us in this video as well, looking into the camera as if to keep the viewers in the context
The spaceman! One of my favourite players of all time and my absolute favourite commentator!
Easily the most interesting of all the episodes. Such an eccentric and interesting character. Loved the story about the incident with Jimmy, can picture it 🤣
The good old Dom Dale, what a character. Always enjoyed watching his eccentric ways. Enjoy your retirement mate.
I grew up watching Dale play and a great player but he always reminded me of a social worker doing a case work down the local club. Don't mean that as an insult
Brilliant bloke Dominic, I believe he's a good mate of Joe Swail and I'd love you Stephen to invite Joe on. Joe has a great tale to tell and is one of Snooker's most popular players as you know and wow, that cue action 😮
What a legend Christopher is
Dominic Christopher John Dale.
Dominic is a nice bloke, enjoyed this episode. Wishing him all the best in his after snooker life!
Dominic is such an interesting and enthusiastic character. A real legend of the game on and off the table. Great video.
Spent a whole morning with Dominic drinking tea and laughing our heads off all morning at my local Cue makers shop. Great fun got a nice photo too.
Really enjoyed this
Bring him back already!
Great to see Dominic dale on the channel. Great video Stephen hendry
Dales is a legend, never a dull moment, brilliant bloke. You should get swampy on, I’d love that!
Dominic just has that broadcasters voice just something about it that suits perfectly to commentary or producing content. It would be great to hear more of him in the studio once he packs in this cue.
Great vid Stephen..... I could listen to Dom all day.... you need to get him back again, as said one of the best commentators imho
Another great episode as usual Stephen....Dom Dale has such a great personality, could have listened for hours.
He's a genuine guy he is always himself, and I hope he continues commentary it will be sad to not see him play again. I remember the story one year he drove to the wrong venue, lol
Anything with Dominic Dale is worth a like. 👍
What a nice guy Dominic is. I've not seen much of him in commentary, but I hope he's given all the tournaments to commentate on
That was enlightening. Dominic is not someone who has ever been on my radar as im only a part time snooker fan. I’m glad you had him on as he seems to be a really nice bloke.
Absolute legend and to get the white in the middle bag twice at the end shows that this man has always known his way around the table! Happy retirement for the end of this season, Dominic from South Wales!! 🏴🏴🏴🏴
Best interview yet was hoping you'd get Dom on
Dominic Dale is an excellent commentator. He knows his stuff and he has a pleasing voice. Why the BBC use Murphy and Wilson and Allen who are TERRIBLE is a complete mystery 🤔
I hope Dominic keeps doing commentary...he's great.
Delightfully eccentric guy 👍🏼
Dominic Dale was always my favourite player - just for his good manners and gentlemanship and also good to watch on tour.
Love Dom Dale. Was there for his lovely 4-0 over Neil Robertson in front of a home crowd in the Welsh. Great on comms too.
Dominic is a great character, sad he is retiring but look forward to listening to him on Eurosport in the future.
Great chat, what a character
Great episode! Love dom, such a nice guy, genuine and funny
Always liked Dominic & after watching this you just cannot help but love the bloke. Great episode 👍
Brilliant, Dominic is a true gent ,fantastic
That story about Jimmy in Dubai was so funny 🤣I love hearing snooker stories like that from back in the day.
People say snookers finished when Ronnie retires but the truth is Snooker will miss the likes of Dominic when he retires more than it will miss Ronnie. He's Snooker through and through. Knows the game inside out.
What a ridiculous take 😂😂. I like Dom, but c’mon mate, we all thought he’d retired long ago
@RonniePickeringMate Why is it? I thought the same about Ronnie to be fair. He'll beheading to Saudi Arabia though no doubt.
This has been my favourite episode hands down. Great guest, great chat and great stories.
Class act is Mr Dale. I like how he chalks his tip 😂
What a great guy Dominic is. Fascinating chat.
Brilliant episode.
Dominic really is a character of the game. Made for great chemistry in this episode.
Would love to have seen him win more.
Lovehid commentary on the game too.
The Jimmy comment.........🤣🤣🤣
Dale is the best commentator from the new crop IMO. Always has an interesting take on things.
My fave video of yours so far! Love Dom! Great chat from both

Great episode. That was a fun watch. Well done all!
First time unfortunately I`ve been able to see Dominic in a relaxed interview situation. What a sound guy he is. Gutted this is your last season mate, best of luck.
That was so fascinating to watch. I'm gutted to hear Dom is retiring!
Dominic has got a bit of Frank Spencer about him. The mannerisms. 😄
@Lee
Frank Spencer playing snooker would’ve made for a cracking episode. “Ooh Betty. I’ve sat on my cue!”
This was fantastic. Dominic is a treasure to snooker
Why does Dominic dale remind me of a stand up comedian .
Been a great player by the way
Good luck in your retirement
He reminds me a bit of Frank Spencer in Some mothers do 'ave them.
Very Larry Grayson…
@@sanmiguel4019 true, I just posted he reminds me of Michael Crawford when talking
Love Dominic! Dude is hilarious!
What a guy Dominic is.
What a nice guy, never seen his personality but he comes across really well. Good talker, interesting, hope he gets the commentary/pundit job.
Great to see Dominic … class episode
Dominic cones across as just a genuinely nice, chatty guy. Honest and down-to-Earth, not a hint of pretentiousness. Other than that shirt (I did adjust the picture 🥴).
Dom, you're a great commentator. You don't sugar coat it if you need to criticise something like a shot choice and you also give some technical insight others don't.
Dominic has the perfect voice for children's storytime. :)
Good to see Alan Partridge play some snooker.
Aha
Brilliant - funniest snooker video I've ever seen.
What an intelligent man Dominic is
What a lovely unique guy Dom is .
What a top bloke Dominic is.....Great watch 👍
A timely interview. Im just home from the Scottish Open final and very much enoyed Dominic's commentary. Lovely chap!
Does anyone remember a match Dominic lost a few years back and he was so disgusted that when he got back to his dressing room he snapped the cue in half and chucked it out the window me and my mate fell about laughing it was one of the most true reactions of a player having a crap day we’d ever seen we think he’s great great conversation again on this channel. Merry Xmas guys.
That was excellent, what an interesting character Dominic is , love that line to Jimmy white
I love the way Dominic chalks the cue!
"Live long and prosper" Stephen! 😊
Dominic seems like a really nice guy, props to him
Another great episode, Dominic one of the good guys
Would love to see stephen lee on here.
Dominic is funny and his coms are good he's definitely up there
Dominic Dale comes across really well. Understated humour.
i love the fact Dominic is so kooky and walks his own line ,couldnt give a shit about being anything other than he is ....its refreshing
Dominic dale top man
Dom is so different to the other players, a breath of fresh and vibrant air. He's also a fantastic commentator. He brings life and excitement to the game while also being tehnical and insightful. He seems like a great guy, too!
What a fantastic video, both gents and super relaxing to watch. Thank you
Great video as usual Stephen!
