In the 10:52 Selby vs. Dott, if I were Graeme I would have just potted the white straight into the pocket on the next shot - you really need to be sportsmanlike when you have screwed over your opponent like that
If the referee was being as strict about what happened as he was, he would definitely be strict about intentionally missing the ball-on being a foul and a miss.
“In snooker, if you deliberately foul, you forfeit the frame. If you cannot physically play a shot without it being a foul then it is a re-rack. So no situation exists to warrant a deliberate foul” The ref would have to follow this rule. And Dott would forfeit the game.
At 7:12, the red wobbled an astonishing 12 times until it eventually stopped over the pocket. Absolutely extraordinary, and that's regarding all of the snooker shown in this video.
With Dott and Selby’s incident I’m most impressed with Clive Everton. He predicted that the referee was going to call a foul because he’s seen it before.
This was a result of an anomaly in the rules (as they were then). Correct call by the referee but the rules have since been updated because of this incident.
Absolutely magnificent! Now I just need to know the rules of snookers because YT suggested it and I'll probably be seeing hundreds of "best of snookers" for years to come so I might as well learn the rules.
Great selection! Most ridiculous fluke had to be Dave Gilbert 😂 But the most unlikely event was the successive angled shots between Yuan and Lei, astronomically low probability
Komisar I love your funny videos always come back to them every now and then... I noticed I couldn't even find your vids typing your user name and funny snooker next. I used to be able to find them just like that. Not anymore!
I know this rule has changed slightly but I think if you do what Graeme Dott did and deliberately stop the cue ball from going in off, it should be an automatic forfeit of the frame. In that situation there is a huge difference between Selby having ball in hand and him having to play the shot from where it's landed. You just don't do that. Imo, it is a deliberate foul and unsportsmanlike and I think Dott should have lost the frame for that.
Well Selby would not have to play from where Dott pushed the white. After any foul you can make your opponent play again. I agree playing from hand would be more advantageous but don't believe that it was Dott's intention to prevent that option - don't think he's either so cunning or mean!
@@adrianwright8685 It's not the same though is it, Selby would have to play the position (or pass) where the ball was left, instead of having it from hand.
I'd be very unhappy to be denied ball-in-hand, simply because my opponent prevented the in-off illegally. Deliberately handling a ball in play should be a concession of the frame, otherwise a deliberate foul like Dott's incurs no penalty at all (the 4 point penalty he got would have happened anyway if he left the white to run into the pocket). So even if Selby hadn't picked the ball up, Dott would still have gained an advantage by cheating. It's only the generally high integrity of snooker players that prevents this sort of thing from happening all the time.
Dott should have asked Selby where he wanted the ball placed to take his shot and then moved it to that spot for him. That's the sportsmanly thing to do
@@elgringo1893 he can't really do that as it will forfeit the frame deliberately giving a foul to your opponent is considered cheating so yeah no can do
In the case of Selby and Dott the decent thing of Dott would have been to deliberately play a foul and move the white so that it would be in a position in the half circle if Selby had repositioned it. 🤷♂️
“In snooker, if you deliberately foul, you forfeit the frame. If you cannot physically play a shot without it being a foul then it is a re-rack. So no situation exists to warrant a deliberate foul” The ref would have to follow this rule. And Dott would forfeit the game.

Very unfair to the sport…

@@mikefleming12 I think World Snooker should be paying him for these highlight reels + getting money from CZcams.

These are amazing. Thanks! (5:44) His opponent got ready to stand up :) (11:06) It would have been n a good spirit of sportsmanship for Dott to lift the ball again and put it on the table thus gaining another foul (negating Selbey's foul)
I believe that when you make a mistake on purpose, the referee can interpret it as a concession. But I agree with you that it would have been a beautiful gesture of fair play.
how does the ref know that when the white hit dotTs hand as it entered the pocket , it never left the table? LEAVING THE TABLE MEANS THE BALL LOST CONTACT WITH THE BAIZE
Excellent video the one where Nigel Bond jumped the red but still potted it and was it called a foul was the referee correct in calling a foul as both Dennis Taylor and Clive Everton seemed unsure?
That Dott and Selby rule needs to change. If you deliberately put your hand into the pocket to block the ball going in, the ball needs to be considered pocketed and a foul called.
Странно, что в подборке нет ударов Магуайра на Мастерсе и Дональдсона на Championship League, где шар прокатился по длинному борту, а затем от губок одной средней лузы упал в другую, минуя синий на точке. Впрочем, все удары из этого видео тоже очень впечатляющие!
I have been playing snooker and pool since I was 6 years old (30 years) and I have never had a ball hit the back of the pocket and come straight back out
I don't see how anyone can say snooker is boring. The moment you've played 3 shots yourself you understand how it's amazing they hit anything at all. Let alone making it look easy sometimes. (Looking at you here, mr rocket)
It only came out because it left the bed of the table before it hit the back of the pocket. Trump hammers balls into the pockets, they almost never come out.
11:16 Selby got boned there. Dott was called for a foul after striking the appropriate object ball and sending the cue ball directly to a pocket. The logical interpretation of that foul call was that Dott potted the cue ball. The referee _should_ have explained what he saw and ruled before Selby went to take his shot, especially if he was making a ruling that was technically correct but not logically obvious.
Отличная и очень большая подборка интересных моментов👍. Спасибо Яр👏👏👏, я так понимаю, что нового открытого контента более не будет? Только по подписке?

At the 11:03 mark, When Dott put the hand to prevent ball goes in, this rules is so stupid when Selby has to play the ball where it stop, Dott should be penalised for using his hand, Else everyone will put the hand to prevent white ball goes in and instead push the white ball to a unplayable spot. This could be a biggest loophole in the rule. The person who foul is the one has the advantage. Its so stupid
What about the break, just touching a red on one side, so a cannon through the pack, pushing a slow red out the other side, which bounced off the side and returned to the pack, and cue ball returned to baulk line - so all returned to the start positions like nothing had happened
In the situation with dott and Selby, why didn't dott just move the white again by a millimeter, that would give Selby the net 4 points he should have got from the white about to go in and Selby would be at the table with the white where he wanted it
Yes, you cant jump over the ball you are hitting EXCEPT if CB hits a cushion then over the red. also you can hit the black and launch up on top of the REDS and split them. AS long as the white didnt pass over the Black on the way to going over the reds. Basically you cant directly go over the ball you are hitting unlike pool.
Love a judge that know the rules when the ball lands in the rail. Removed it and called it in 1 second like its a thing that happens all the time. Thats why a snooker judge is a job, and not just a judge
Can someone explain to a less snooker inclined person what happened at 10:54-12:32? Why did the commentator think the referee's decision was controversial?
I am a former referee & am happy to explain. Dott prevented the ball from going in the pocket. It was obviously going in so both players assumed it could then be picked up & played from the D. The initial foul against Dott was because he touched it. The cue ball should therefore have been played from where it stopped after he pushed it back. When Selby picked it up to put it in the D, he therefore committed another foul. The referee was correct but it was felt by many that the rule itself needed amending, so it has been. An addition was made: "3.16(b)A ball, intentionally moved or picked up by the striker will be deemed forced off the table".
The jumpshot over the red was not a foul, right? It hit the red furst, then jumped over it, the red went in ... isn't that something similar that happened with Big Bill's pot of the century? 14:58 - That snooker cost their friendship. :)
