Lee turned pro in 1992 along with O'Sullivan, Williams and Higgins so maybe he compared his progress with theirs. When Lee was banned in 2012, O'Sullivan had won 4 World Champs, 4 Masters and 4 UK Champs, Williams had 2, 2 and 2 and Higgins 4, 2 and 3. Lee had Zero! I would imagine that would not have made him feel too wonderful especially with all the commentators saying how good he really was! A reason for him 'turning' ?
True but Lee was beating everybody in the 2011/2012 season just before he got banned. Getting to finals semi finals in every event. I think he'd reach 4 or 5 semi finals in a row could be wrong. He was just starting to find the form we're seeing Judd Trump find now. And others in the past. He peaked I reckon he could have a triple crown...
it's tough at the top. would love to see him back. the length of ban is shocking and not only does stephen lose out but so do we. he was a great entertainer.
3:10 “Well he’s guilty of what a lot of snooker players are guilty of ...” Tell us more John 😂 Stephen Lee was a great player though, great timing and such a natural rhythm- shame
Stephen Lee would flatten most of the new generation of players amazing talent if he looked after himself better he wud have stamina to win multiple world championships 🙏
This is selby when he was younger, put steven lee against him now and I guarantee he would get white washed. Steven lee tho in his prime was a pure animal that could beat anyone on his day
"The suspension is to be calculated from 12 October 2012, when the interim suspension was imposed. Therefore Stephen Lee will not be able to participate in snooker before 12 October 2024." It's sad but fair
Wouldnt call it fair tbh. 12 years is extremely harsh. He fucked up, and ofcourse it has consequences, but 12 years? Standard WADA punishment for doping is 4 years.
He moved to China and has a Snooker Academy in Shenzhen. To be honest i cant see him making a return either, shame what money can do to some people. I imagine he is happy what he is doing but i bet he has his regrets. Amazing cue power with a Rolls Royce cue action... these are my two favorite players. Past and Current... :)
A 12 year ban was very harsh, effectively ending his professional career...A 2 - 4 year ban would have been enough...I think he was used as an example to other players, if you're going to match fix & we catch you, expect to receive a career ending punishment...
That first shot lee played is the exact kind of shot that got him banned for ‘match fixing’ at the same time Higgins is caught on tape agreeing to match fixing but Stephen is banned for years and Higgins gets to play. FUCK WORLD SNOOKER!!! Stephen lee had the best cue action in snooker! Better than anyone!!!!
Your SOOOO rite he played Q ball with less pace purposely to fall short of the loss red under the pink ....this type of shot a Pro of even lesser Ability could fall on that red 49 times out of 50 FIXXXXX
Really? First: it says nothing about Selby. Second: You obviously haven't seen many matches, cause I ve seen hundreds of times players come to table to check respotted ball. Third: Anyone would come to table like Lee at this crucial moment to state important fact that he had covered playing 1 cushion of the left side.
All these pro players are honest to a fault... I seriously doubt any of them would resort to sneaky shenanigans like that.. having said that many players do check on the replacement of the white.... the ref while skilled is not perfect so mistakes can happen and the players just want a fair replacement.... seems fair enough
13:06 It s funny how Selby hit White slowly and under, but White lost slide just before hitting blue and went into pocket after it. Try to copy that shot, it s hilarious and unlucky.
Anyone that is saying Higgins should be banned for life; piss off. Lee should be banned for life because he fixed matches for *2 YEARS*, Higgins was nowhere near that. I don't care how good Lee is, he threw his career away the second he fixed the first time and because he did it for so long, he doesn't deserve to return to the tour.
The most unbelievable thing is Virgo trying to adopt a southern twang to his accent, whilst still, as ever, demonstrating an inability to understand and apply adverbs of manner. He played that brilliant and walked off calm. He drove off the cliff nonchalant and died peaceful whilst his wife fucked the cat excellent.
Virgo a'int got a clue never won nothing worth talking about, to hear him talk you'd have thought he was a previous world champion, (where's the white ball going) his only claim to fame.
Lee turned pro in 1992, the same year as O'Sullivan, Williams and Higgins so it would have been natural for him to compare his progress with theirs.

That shouldn't make you want to force your way through. You make your way through the game like everyone else, like Higgins did. Yet still people say Higgins is worse.
BULLSHIT I say, Cheatin Higgins should NOT BE PLAYING and I refuse to watch Higgins cheating. That twat should have more time then Lee as Higgins got caught on Camera Cheatin. Lee is in my top 5 favorite players in All Pool. Stephen Lee, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Efren Rayes, Alex Pagulian, Stephen Hendry.

GET RID OF THE FOUL AND MISS RULE. The foul and miss rule should be put in the rubbish bin where it belongs, whoever thought up this stupid rule shouldn't be in a position to frame rules. It can't be applied to any game that doesn't have a referee, there are ample penalties for any foul shot without making the game so complicated. Besides the penalty points gained from a foul shot, a player can make their opponent play again if they feel disadvantaged by the foul, or if the foul shot results in a snooker another ball can be chosen to represent the ball in play. This is enough without taking all the enjoyment out of the game and starting conflicts with this stupid foul and miss rule that most players don't understand. The rules for chess and so many other games don't change every ten years but it seems that the officials who make the rules just can't leave the game of snooker alone. Social snooker is declining in the UK and elsewhere and the fact that the foul and miss rule can't be played without a referee has a lot to do with it. The game used to be fun and the rules were fair but now it's the stage for conflict when two players can't agree on where balls were placed before the foul and miss. Constant rule changes have ruined the game of billiards and snooker will follow.

Not a good enough reason to cheat, though Higgins got away with it. That mightn't have been the case though, had Higgins been less successful
You’re so right after all only the top 10 snooker players get to live a life of luxury not all

Im sure hes practicing waiting to come back im sure he might qualify for some tournaments
Higgins walked ...
As an aside, I’m shocked how much deeper Hendry’s voice is ten years on...
7 more years and Stephen will be back
6 years left. The ban ends on his 50th birthday and he's 44 now.
@@CriticalRoleHighlights And he'll have to qualify at Q-school - somehow can't see that happening!
He'll be dead by then. Sorry to say
How old is lee

Selby must have had a big bet on the frame score in that match 😜
Is this the reason why lee is banned? This match was deifintely fixed, you just don't fould the white ball on a shot like that to win a match
if this was the reason, it would have been against Selby if anything with the amount of incorrect shots he played...
No that was just a carless mistake .it would not be easy to run the white in middle like that from that angle.
Can somebody tell me when exactly did he cheat here???
He didn't cheat lol it was just a dodgy frame
เสียดายลี
He was a decent player,,
แม่นสุดในโลก
Lee is a heavy weight snooker player like Mark Allen.
Rolls Royce cue action. Sherman tank waistline
Selby obviously sold the 9th frame.

trump probably has the best cue action in the game
I've never known a player come to the table to check the position of a replaced ball. Says something about how other players see Selby.
