John Virgo made a comment about the players rating the UK Championship second only to the world championship because of the longer matches played throughout the tournament, and I totally agree. Unfortunately, they decided to bin that format, and make it just another run of the mill event. Yes, it may be part of the "Triple Crown" these days, but the tournament simply does not compare to the UK Championships of the past.
Agreed. I don’t rate a UK championship win in the current format as I did when it was 17 and 31 frame matches. The “triple crown” is a figment of the BBC hype project. It means nothing. They overhype todays game as if nothing existed before Hendry and OSullivan.
World #2 vs World #5, as Clive Everton mentions about an hour in. Johnson was not just a journeyman who got lucky in 1986, he was a really strong, confident, aggressive, nifty player. Against anyone else at the time but White here, he'd look quick.
@@johnmc3862 Yes but what a blistering 2 year spell. Two World finals including the title with the most devastating performance in a title match at that time.
This is Jimmy when he was pure excitement just a few too many rushed shots but was a miracle he got where he did in these times considering he was pissed and charlied out of his head every night but that's why we love him
@@tullmonkey as we know norman Jimmy was living the life and thought his talent was gonna last forever and if he had just been a bit cuter like you say I'm sure he would have beaten Davis in a lot of finals if joe Johnson and Dennis Taylor could I'm sure Jimmy could have done lol
@@davidharris3914 The 1984 World final being a prime example really. I think Jimmy admitted that he had been off his head the night before that first session which effectively cost him the match. I remember Jack Karnham commenting that he was stunned Jimmy didn't beat Steve Davis every time. If he'd been on the straight and narrow in 84, he'd have thrashed Davis in that final and it might have spurred him on to live cleanly and win the majors he should have done.
@@Minecraftfan-ue6mg like you say 84 was his prime year when he was pure everything thing about his game was great he was even playing a bit more safety that year his 2 semi finals that year in the masters and the embassy against Kirk were snooker matches of beauty but against Davis again like you say you can't give someone like him a 12-4 lead
Halo guys... 🇲🇾😙✌🏻. Good game. Maybe, Joe is very frust inside..because pink not go in when he make 15 black.. thats hurt. I'm a snooker player and i know. If Joe make 147, maybe his game will not be like this. ☕😊 ok thanks..haha.
@@paulofarrell6498 Nah, that's pretty proven. We all are children of God. :) The guy should become one of your biggest national heroes when he leaves this plane of existence. Of course it's up to the will of your people depending if they want to survive the tyrannical onslaught of the enemies of humanity.

It means everything to the players who measure themselves on those events. I’ll trust their judgment over yours.
I agree

Yeah he was but for very little time. 2-3 years and he dropped out of the top rankings. Great player in his day though.
@@johnmc3862 Yes but what a blistering 2 year spell. Two World finals including the title with the most devastating performance in a title match at that time.
I agree completely with that, he wasn't.
There just to make up the numbers, he had a good skills on a snooke tabl3
Yeah..
Sure but winning one ranking title in his career and no others must be a caveat!
ime surprised david icke didnt predic all the results !
Willie Thorne and Joe Johnson were well on form during this tournament
This is Jimmy when he was pure excitement just a few too many rushed shots but was a miracle he got where he did in these times considering he was pissed and charlied out of his head every night but that's why we love him
Steve Davis lived off Jimmy's rushed shots.

Yes..😊👍🏽
What a pity to miss that 147!
Bring back lounge suits for morning and afternoon sessions!
50k in 1987 is nearly 200k in todays money😬

It’s more if you take into account property prices and not just RPI.

David Icke !!! 😳🤣
Nice to watch the son of God.
Still blew it
Was close though, 16-14 to Davis.
@@distantthunder12ck55 No prizes for coming close. The Nugget was pure granite.
☕😁👍🏽...yeah
Ickey
Remember when this icke guy was normal before he came out with all this crazed nonsense.
Nope, he was right about the important things. The more speculative are yet to be proved I guess.
@@constantingochev3159 dude was nutbag that believed in Lizard people. A broken clock is right twice a day doesnt mean it aint broken.
Haha..😁✌🏻
@@constantingochev3159Yes, it’s yet to be proved that he’s the son of God 😅
