Who pay those people to ask these kind of questions? 5 minutes asking again and again about that shoulder barge when it was clear that Carter doesn't find it important and won't say a bad word about O'Sullivan...
What a great fella, in my opinion it is always the press who want to make something sensational. Ali did well, I'm very impressed. By the way, I truly am a Ronnie fan. Hope he goes on to make a 1K tons, and a few more titles.
Carter deserved the win because he was the better player throughout this match. I love to see Ronnie make his incredible comebacks when he's fallen behind, and I thought I'd see once again a brilliant Ronnie comeback and triumph before the match was over, but it did not happen because Ali played consistently well and never wavered throughout, while Ronnie this time 'round didn't produce that magic he normally would under these circumstances. A loss for us who are just about becoming accustomed to these brilliances from Ronnie... but in the end, this time around, Allister Carter played the better game (and executed a lot of very impressive under-pressure crucial shots). I can't deny him this, no matter how much I love Ronnie's snooker... no matter how much I'm rooting for him to get his 1000 centuries. You have to give credit where credit is due, period.
I honestly hope Ali Carter wins the title this year. He deserves it so much. I'm a massive Ronnie fan, but I'm a great believer in this guy. A propper fighter and a very respectful sportsman in every way. I'm not intrested in the 'barging' shoulders bullshit. Ronnie was frustrated at being the losing player in the match. Ali rised above him and played better.... thats it. Go on Ali lad. Win it this year!
Annoying smug git the whole match had a stupid angry face on him trying to act tough and if it wasn't for Ronnie there wouldn't be as much interest in the game and that brings in the money for your payday
Act tough? He was tough,period. The prince of snooker tried to intimidate him and Ali stood up like a man and sent Ronnie home with his tail between his legs. Good luck with the rest of the tournament Ali.
The dislike ratio shows what there is wrong with most "Snooker fans". Just because their holy Ronnie lost, they are all hating on Ali, who is understandably pumped about a big career win.
katsching it was his rant verbal attack on ronnie on the eve of the match what left a bad taste, ronnie is the man utd of snooker everybody is jealous of him and everyone wants to beat him the most
Aww, sorry? Did I offend you? Ronnie is the greatest, yes. I was talking about the fans you cretin :) You're a perfect example of what I mean. So 'pipe down' there little kid.
So much to talk about, and they are worried about a shoulder barge.... Be nice to get some reporters with understanding of the game. Sullivan was out played today. It's happened before and it'll happen again. Ali looked pretty darn good, didn't take as many 'fliers' as I've seen in the past.
Sanya Syniushkevych i m an o sullivan fan and u r right about that one...but u shouldn t make comments like this about ronnie s fans...it s disrespectful...ali carter didn t miss a meaningful ball all match,and he was the better player after all...can t win them all...i m upset and can t get over it until the championship ends,but hats off to carter...he s a great player and deserved to win
Ali probably expected the focus on the little elbow, he's happy to dismiss it. All I can say is anyone who's been watching Snooker for long enough will recognize O'Sullivans comments as classic Rocket behavior from when he wasn't winning everything. Ronnie played well, Ali played better and it was a great match, period.
I find it funny that most of the people harping on about how annoying the Ronnie fanboys are tend to be equally as zealous in attacking Ronnie and his fans.
"For a change"? The whole point of my comment is that they're always targeted and usually quite harshly. Why should they be attacked for being passionate about something? True, there are some who are completely blind and can't admit when Ronnie has played poorly etc. but by and large it seems unwarranted to me. However, judging by your other comments on this video, I won't be changing your mind today so we'll just leave it at that.
Firstly, a brief glance through the comments showed me that much less than half of the comments are made by "Ronnie hotheads" who "attack Carter". In fact the majority seem to be praising him. However I'll forgive you for that as some of those may have been posted after you commented. Secondly, while it may not have happened here, across the internet people have attacked Ronnie in addition to his fans so I don't believe I am incorrect there. Finally, you and SmileDog are perfect examples of the zealous people to which I was referring. You have both said that you do not like Ronnie fanboys and yet you seem to have put far more effort into putting these people in their place and attempting to prove them wrong than they have in stating their love for Ronnie. In my opinion, that makes you just as bad as they are. However, I'm not that interested in having a huge debate about this. You have your opinion, I have mine. One small, insignificant argument probably won't change that. I do agree that there is a vocal minority that tends to rear its head on the internet who are just absolute idiots/nasty people but I feel that the Ronnie fanbase, on the whole, gets unfairly insulted. Agreeing to disagree is probably the best course of action here however.
I came.to know all.players n fans r jealous of Ronnie and wanted to see him lose. But ronnie in his confernce said 2 important things which r really important 1. It takes consistency to stay champion. (Ali isnt the one) 2. It was just a bad day. 😂😂😂
The issue is just one: talent. Ali doesn't have it and Ronnie does. Talents like Ronnie, when they come, are a blessing and whoever is involved should be learning and being grateful to be able to be in the same room. Even Ronnie himself is learning with his own talent all the time. It's not about WIN at all costs, except for technocrats like Alister. If it's just about winning, then build a robot strong AI or whatever and voila. It's not about that at all. Not with snooker, or music, or anything creative. Ronnie fans are not devoted to Ronnie, but to talent. That's what they like and acknowledge. And I'm not a Ronnie fan.
I'm a massive Ronnie O'Sullivan fan, BUT I am not going dislike a video or a person cause he lost against him. Ali Carter is a class act(don't think he can win it but best of luck) and as he fought his way back from cancer was great. Journalists tried to give him words to have a good headline but like in Ronnie's case in the other interview didn't work out quite well. Plastic fanboys! Grow up, please! :)
Being a massive ronnie fan, i feel for carter this is a massve win for him because ronnie has beaten him in major finals twice in the finals. Ronnie played shit all week lets face it.
Has to be said, whether it was nothing or not to them, if a 'mate' was being like Ronnie was during a snooker match with me I'd think 'what's he all getting shitty about?'. People don't get shitty like that round me, I tell ya.
I've always been a fan of Ronnie, to be specific, a fan of Ronnie's snooker play, but what happened in the 19th frame was very disappointing. Outside seedy pool halls, one should not witness such things. I sincerely hope that Ronnie is going to think this through and finally fess up that he got frustrated and made a mistake for which he would like to apologize to Ali. Going about a press conference and insisting that it was nothing, keep smiling, is not good enough. If you think it was just tight space, watch the video over and over until you can no longer deny it, it clearly was intentional and the honourable thing for Ronnie to do at this point is to apologize for having allowed his emotions get the better of him. It need not be anything more than that, it is nothing more than that, all it is is that an apology is in order. The interviews with Ali show that he understands that the shoulder barge was only just about frustration, maybe pressure, and they show that he is more than willing to accept such an apology and move on. Denying the obvious is not the proper way for Ronnie to handle this. I kind of expected Ronnie to eventually concede "Yeah, maybe I did get a bit irked about: my not-up-to-my-standards play this afternoon about Ali not looking at the table about Ali not missing any critical shots nor cracking under the pressure about Ali consistently making top-notch safety shots about my not getting any real chances at a run of frames" about... you the commentators might have other suggestions as to what was getting under Ronnie's skin? Pretending nothing happened could tarnish Ronnie... please Ronnie, not at this stage in your carreer.
It won't tarnish anything Ronnie's done worse in the past including walking out mid-match and deliberately throwing frames by playing erratically. It was two people that know each other for years had a bit of a shoulder brush a bit like a quarrel with a friend or relative that they both got over and forgot about seconds after it happened. Don't harp on trivial crap.
I think Ali will always be a nearly man, he has had an easier side of the draw. There is no way he will win this tournament, especially if he has to face an opponent like Neil.
Whoever is asking the questions need firing, totally unprofessional going on about the same things to both ronnie and ali. Totally detracted from alis win and ronnies loss...
well done Ali, well deserved getting under Ronnies skin , hope this game has taken too much out of you, IE you've peaked or cant sustain that level of mind games and matchplay, either way good luck
yea yea..even u r stil in it..u not gonna win it!! u just 'dont hv it' dude. ronnie wud not b pissed(shoulder incident) if u didnt gave him that stupid look/smile RIGHT AFTER he got a lucky snook! which he badly needed. ..as if u never had that lucky situation before?? ..and in your case. did ur opponent give u 'that smile' then?? i wud b pissed too
Schoolboy stuff, not exactly MMA is it, more playground , I like Carter he is a bread and butter player earning a living , Ronnie is amazingly gifted player but is starting together on everyone’s tits with his couldn’t care less attitude win or lose , maybe it’s time to retire Ron
like others they play their life snooker against Ronnie, next round he will be 12-3 down maybe lose 17-6 and say oh it was my bad day,, after the game he punched up just like he won the world snooker and keep saying oh i just won Ronnie ,be a man and admit how happy you are after Ronnie letting you win!!! ,,coming back to table after being 29 down with 13 left just trying to make Ronnie pissed off???,,i was a fan of this person but he changed my mind with his very childish attitude i could see in future you will lose badly to Ronnie just like others.
Well done to the captain he played well,backed his pre match ranting up(good job haha)and deserved the win end of.who cares about all this media hype shit.yes it was plain to see which ronnie had turned up from the start and it definitely wasn’t the on top of his game 1 or maybe the result would of more than likely been yet another O’Sullivan win against him but it wasn’t..it was carters day and he really did hold it together and play well regardless
... wins first time against Ronnie it had to come... I think fuckin media twats making big deal out of nothing... Not really a Carter fan but I reckon he'll get into the semis and get knocked out by Ding.. DING TO WIN
Well done Mr Ali, you played well and deserved to win. Sorry to say that but the fact is that you are not good enough to be the world champion. Best wishes for the rest of the tournament.
carter is renowned for trying to wind up ronnie. He tried it in the world champs finals, when he tried to stare him out when they did the handshake. Carter could have and should have walked around the other side of table to get to white ball. But he was angry that ronnie got lucky, snookering him on the green and wanted a collision to vent his frsutration. anyone with any intelligence can see that
Who pay those people to ask these kind of questions? 5 minutes asking again and again about that shoulder barge when it was clear that Carter doesn't find it important and won't say a bad word about O'Sullivan...
They need headlines.
Everything happens in the sport arena, stay there!!!
Sport professional, knows that very well!!
What a great fella, in my opinion it is always the press who want to make something sensational. Ali did well, I'm very impressed. By the way, I truly am a Ronnie fan. Hope he goes on to make a 1K tons, and a few more titles.
John Twemlow Yes! Couldnt agree more.
simp!
Indeed the media do try to stir the pot.. its good for their metrics but not for the sport on the whole.
Who's here in 2024, when relations and the season is a bit more frosty?!
The press are looking to turn the "shoulder brush" into a kardashian episode.
Carter deserved the win because he was the better player throughout this match.
I love to see Ronnie make his incredible comebacks when he's fallen behind, and I thought I'd see once again a brilliant Ronnie comeback and triumph before the match was over, but it did not happen because Ali played consistently well and never wavered throughout, while Ronnie this time 'round didn't produce that magic he normally would under these circumstances.
A loss for us who are just about becoming accustomed to these brilliances from Ronnie... but in the end, this time around, Allister Carter played the better game (and executed a lot of very impressive
under-pressure crucial shots).
I can't deny him this, no matter how much I love Ronnie's snooker... no matter how much I'm rooting for him to get his 1000 centuries.
You have to give credit where credit is due, period.
N1755L Ali Carter deserves to win the world championships
"Ronnie is the master of the game but today was beaten" - exactly
how did he get out of the door with that massive head
How will you sleep tonight knowing that Carter will win the championship? :D
only person with the big head is ronnie
I honestly hope Ali Carter wins the title this year.
He deserves it so much.
I'm a massive Ronnie fan, but I'm a great believer in this guy.
A propper fighter and a very respectful sportsman in every way.
I'm not intrested in the 'barging' shoulders bullshit.
Ronnie was frustrated at being the losing player in the match.
Ali rised above him and played better.... thats it.
Go on Ali lad.
Win it this year!
Annoying smug git the whole match had a stupid angry face on him trying to act tough and if it wasn't for Ronnie there wouldn't be as much interest in the game and that brings in the money for your payday
Act tough? He was tough,period. The prince of snooker tried to intimidate him and Ali stood up like a man and sent Ronnie home with his tail between his legs. Good luck with the rest of the tournament Ali.
What a prat
The dislike ratio shows what there is wrong with most "Snooker fans". Just because their holy Ronnie lost, they are all hating on Ali, who is understandably pumped about a big career win.
Ronnie fans are a disgrace to this sport. When he leaves, the sport will be better off without these sheep sucking off Ronnie's dick.
Its because he's a celebrity. We live in a society where grown men "fanboy" over celebrities lol. Quite sad really.
katsching it was his rant verbal attack on ronnie on the eve of the match what left a bad taste, ronnie is the man utd of snooker everybody is jealous of him and everyone wants to beat him the most
Aww, sorry? Did I offend you? Ronnie is the greatest, yes. I was talking about the fans you cretin :) You're a perfect example of what I mean. So 'pipe down' there little kid.
katsching Ronnie O'Sullivan still 5 times word champ 😉
These interviewers are doing everything they can to stir it up. Well done Ali but you should have told them to shut it
So much to talk about, and they are worried about a shoulder barge.... Be nice to get some reporters with understanding of the game. Sullivan was out played today. It's happened before and it'll happen again.
Ali looked pretty darn good, didn't take as many 'fliers' as I've seen in the past.
Oh come on it was a stupid little thing these reporters are going on and on and on repeat questions get over it !!!
Why is his press not on UA-cam after Williams win lol
He might be out the woods with cancer but there's no shifting that Napoleon syndrome
What an idiot you are! Standard Ronnie's fan = idiot.

No, they deserve to be targeted for a change. All they do is cry when Ronnie loses, pathetic really. Now that's funny!

That's fair enough, glad that was cleared up as that's essentially what I was saying too.
Great dialogue, guys
It's always a Ronnie O'Sullivan show win or lose

I think Ali will always be a nearly man, he has had an easier side of the draw.

As I said he will not win.
Smile is off his face now, bet Ronnie is smiling though.

He's going about it likes won the final

Well done Mr Ali, you played well and deserved to win. Sorry to say that but the fact is that you are not good enough to be the world champion. Best wishes for the rest of the tournament.
Fair play Ali
Reality check Ali: you won because Ronnie played terrible. If Ronnie played at 50% he would have comfortably beaten you
You ugly rat
get the fook in Ali, Played perfect on and off table. Can enjoy the rest of tournament now all the fanboys will no longer be watching "supposedly".
angry little manchild. was annoyed ronnie got lucky with fortunate snooker on green and took his frustration out.
And you're salty because Ronnie lost :D
How does it feel?! xD
John Cooper - Art of Social
Didn't like his attitude either but he was the better player today, got some magnificent pots, and the interview was fine.
Yeah, specially considering it was Ronnie who stuck his elbow out X'D
You are so pathetic!

fanboyism is strong on that dislike ratio.
