Dont want eddie in snooker he will have rematch clauses in most games to be played in saudi in 9 months time
Haha game changed
Are you genuinely ok? Do you get notified whenever a video of Hearn is uploaded as ..how on earth did you find this video to troll as per usual?
Matchroom aren't new to Snooker btw doofus.
Why not put the full video up on YT?
Rivalries in the 1980s was not manufactured - it was through proper competitive matching - Davis/Higgins Davis/Hendry - The problem with Snooker is that it is a very very difficult game, which is too hard for youngsters today with a smaller attention span.
The young Chinese don't seem to have bad attention span
@@barry2924 the problem is, that the Chinese kids have discipline and dedication. Have they had a World champion though?? Not yet!
@@slayer5097 I'd say there highly outnumbered tho
@@barry2924 they also don't ever win anything, their hearts are not in it, they're probably being forced by overzealous family members or some shit. remember seeing Si enter the crucible looking bored/annoyed with some older woman barking orders at him about practicing
What I have noticed watching the Asian matches is the audience apart from being huge is younger with a lot more women. Not sure how you can bottle that and bring back to England.
Isnt it funny how we doubt Eddie⊠but look at boxing⊠they way they have all this build up pre match⊠if all Eddie does is bring what he knows from boxing over then were probably going to get our characters in Snooker showcased again⊠we just need the Characters!
For once I do agree with Eddie to an extent. Normally I can't stand his egotism and materialism but he has a refreshingly balanced outlook it seems - we need to look for ways to make more money in the game to bring more young players in and give them financial incentive, but also be very cautious not to destroy the traditional side of the game. Even though I'm young I'm more on the tradition side, but I do think the rise in popularity in China is fantastic - I really hope this can be reflected on the continent in places like Germany and Belgium after Brecel's triumph, and it seems the game has some following in the middle east. We should celebrate that snooker is no longer just a British Isles based game.
Either way I still hope events keep their traditional aspect.
I guess another issue with rising popularity in the game is ticket prices go up and it goes more the way football has where the top level is no longer affordable (some may say it already isnt in snooker). But like everything for me it's about finding a balance and not sacrificing the true heart of the game for profits, which may be Eddie's real intention even if he seems to have a more nuanced opinion here
A lot of the snooker clubs in Scotland are gone and does the youth have the patience to play it now
Interesting to hear but why is mark Watson involved?
Erm cos he's a brilliant comedian and a snooker fan! Also he's probably quite cheap and we know wst are cheapskates đđ
Interesting part about dress and traditional quiet audiences. Of those two I am not sure the dress is the main problem even for younger audiences. I think it's just that it is boring when it is slow, when the audience can't be felt, and (frankly) when the players are so polite and careful and overly respectful. Just think of all the videos we go back and watch when we see Mark Williams joking around, or other players showing emotion. Even in the interviews! Practically every time i watch an interview I find myself waiting for someone to look at the camera and say "I am coming for ya!" but it never happens. Maybe trash talk full out doesn't have much of a place in such a prim and proper sport, but a little bit could go a long way. Anyway, about dress, I don't often notice what they are wearing... except with some of the tatoos that players have. Now that makes it more interesting! It needs to be more about character and personality, less about posturing.
Ronnie GOAT đđ
Ronnie also dominated snooker for 10 yrs same as Hendry. And did it in the second half of his career
He hasn't dominated the same way hendry did.
21 years between his first and last world titles. Only 9 years between hendrys first and last.
@@angryboxingfan Davis was the same 1981-1989 won 6 Worlds - I'm amazed tht eddie doesn't hold snooker near to his heart, he grew up with Davis and how his Dad was such an important figure in the game
@@simonwilson1686 Growing up with snooker and boxing. The boxing is definitely a massive atmosphere compared to a young lad sitting and watching live snooker. Guess Eddie never got the buzz for it. Remember Eddie actually boxed as an amateur.
â@@theironshiekOsullivan done it against better oppostion
Bring back big break
He probably coninues talking evn when he's sleeping
Wont stand a chance today.
You cant have a personality in modern snooker.
Most overrated player ever.Wont stand a chance today!
There's levels.Its the hardest era in history!
