Great to see this sport have people who are not from the UK and Ireland get far in the World Championships. Hopefully this will get more people interested from around the world.
Perhaps we will get 128 players qualifying for the world championship final stages one day as well like in a tennis grand slam. Plus a 4th triple crown type event too to become one of 4 grand slam snooker tournaments
It takes 2 weeks for 32 players to finish at the Crucible. 128 might cause a problem!
Amazing for a player just 17 months ago Sean Murphy said is not a professional and should not even be in the building.
That’s exactly the opposite of what he said! Get your facts right! Murphy’s complaint was the opposite! Si was a professional but able to enter that competition as an amateur. This was Murphy’s problem. Oh and it’s Shaun not Sean.
@@Robc--jd6yh This is what he said, YOu get your fact right! Si was not on the professional Main Tour in 2021 but was in the previouse season. As an amateur he was still high enough to take the place of another player WHO WAS ON THE MAIN TOUR who pulled out of the competition so by right Si was allowed in the UK Championship 2021 regardless of Murphy's rant. You are just complaining for the sake of complaining over fact that I have already stated. What a Moron!
@@Robc--jd6yh When I stated the fact you get some idiot like yourself trying to for the sake of grandstanding tryinging to imply a fact that I have alraedy stated. So what has Murphy said that was any different to what I have already qouted him as saying that you think I was wrong? NOTHING!!!!!!!
You should be call Nob2022-2023 as in Nob of the year
@@simonc4764 great banter
Demeanour is awesome and his confidence, long risky pots. Si for the win.
Gutted for the last Scot being knocked out but Si deserved it his temperament is world class
This dude has so much potential. I hope he doesn't underachieve.
He is a good player to watch.
This young guys a real natural talent..once he manages to file off the rough edges... he'll have JV 's head in a spin🤩
Man, this boy is on fire! He will definetily be world champ in 5 years! I wish him all the best 🔴⚫🔴⚫
I hope so. An Asian World Champion would be great for Snooker.
Nah not definitely …. Remember Ding hasn’t won it . With all his talent
Ronnie tipped Ding around 2007 as a future world champion. He's only had 16 attempts to win the World. Only time will tell if he can keep his form.
@@jackybogues2495 This man > Ding :)
@Sergei1847 Si has shown that he's got bottle. He can produce the goods on TV. You either have that ability or you don't. When Ronnie and Ebdon were amateurs they all feared Hamilton. Problem is Hamilton couldn't bring his A game to the TV audience stages.
Legend born.
Very impressive!look out for this young follow in future 😊
Si jest szalony z tą grą do przodu i niczego się nie boi i to w nim jest super. Oby tak dalej :)
Myślałem dokładnie o tym samym „oby tak dalej” Bo ma agresywną i odważną strategie Będzie z niego mistrz kiedyś :) 💪🏼
McGill lost his bottle on the black, he should of gone for that. 22:22
Agreed. I was amazed when he did that.
Youre right but Blue was definitely the ball!
Yes, because he was unlikely to get into a better position from Si's next shot, and some foul points would be worthless at that moment.
Congrats to Si!👍
Joe Johnson, classic commentator and a Crucible legend
The coughing... If you are this sick or this 'coughy', just spare everyone the pain and don't come to such venues.
never ceases to amaze me the crucible only seats 980 people too and somehow always a dozen coughers
Turn the sound down
They’ve paid for the ticket already
@@test-tl8dt You must be joking
chain smokers
that took some getting there
Very good and very nice.
And now either him or Luca will be a WC finalist... Who would've thought?
I don't know why, but Si reminds me of Steven Hendry in his young years.
when Hendrys on the table, the frame is finish. so all the opponents try to put Hendry on seat.but that was too hard during 1990s
@@weiao8237 Yep, he put them to the seat! Hendry is my snooker hero of all time not far from Ronnie. Maybe Si can be my next hero for the future? He's only 20.🙂
@@luckyseven8572 I was addict to snooker in early 1990s, that was the golden time of Hendry, Davies. Since 1994 football became favorate
Gan on Sizza bonny lad!
why you did not publish videos to some regions :(
The future's here now, and meeting in the world semi final.
Why do I feel like this guy could actually win it?
Because you haven't been watching closely? LOL. Allen or Selby have been making far less errors. McGill nearly won, but played much better in previous rounds.
It is a pity that not a single Scot reached the semi-finals at the head of Higgins, either he did not have enough strength or skill, but nevertheless Xi, a worthy son of his own, had a worthy fight
"Xi". ?
Sean Murphy said this guy shouldnt be in the building-now been beaten twice!
Shaun Murphy is a massive bellend. Who even when he gets eliminated gets his arrogant round face all over the coverage 😷
That was BS clickbait media headline taken out of context, that you're repeating. Murphy was one of many professional players in a tournament, trying to earn a living. He, and other professionals agreed, that tournaments shouldn't allow amateurs in willy-nilly, because it's not a sustainable living (for some pros) when they beat you. He never said he wasn't good enough to be in the competition, actually the opposite, just shouldn't be entering as an amateur. Stop spreading lies.
@@goatlps I suspect Murphy was just voicing what a lot of them probably think.
McGill had his fair share of bad luck at crucible. Hopefully it'll even out in future years!
"fair share" - that's about right isn't it?
Mcgill taking ages to get back to the table after the interval was a tad scummy if I’m honest
McGill lost the Game at 22:40 min. That was a big chance
Why do all the expert commentators keep saying he needs 3 snookers when he actually needs 3 fouls? All of the experts keep messing up the terms. Even when Si made a foul they called it snooker...
Ronnie´s out so I go with Si...everything is possible...
30:33. Why is the player asked to declare when it's touching ball on the colour? They can't play into the colour, so surely they can just nominate the colour they are on and play away every time?
Great watch but one of the commentators did not respect si at all kept talking down on him
At 30:20 the referee called touching ball. Then Anthony is leaning on the table and looked if it is touching ball. No way he could have asked the referee for a second look for that reason.
This man is good, Really fucking good. But how has this 20 year old man got to the Semis, And Ronnie was taken down despite having a healthy lead of Luca Brecel? I was certain Ronnie would win the championship.
Madness
Ronnie O'Sullivan has always been a bit mentally weak. That's why Hendry won his 7 titles far quicker. Went missing several years. After losing he admitted he just wanted to be out running and being home. He's often looking for a way out. Despite everything, he's definitely an under achiever.
@@goatlps True. Ronnie has a longstanding issue with mental health and depression. Makes it hard for him to keep coming and performing every year. I think he's got 1 more WC in him to beat Hendry
@@goatlps Somebody completing a 5 in a row at the Crucible has been out of the question after 1996. It's a rare feat that will never happen again, nor is it possible today either.
Don't put in the title the result please😊
There's some egotistical weirdo in the Crucible crowd doing a sarcastic whistle every time a player gets lucky. Makes my blood boil. Been in the crowd for a few years now. Someone needs to have a word.
It's strange that he played snooker here 22:35
2 years and it could be 2 records gone for hendry 😂😂
Which records are those?
He actually has to win this year to beat Hendry as the youngest world champion, aged 21 years and 106 days. Although I don't know what 2 records you mean? Si winning this year, then O'Sullivan winning the 8th next year? O'Sullivan might not even turn up, like he didn't at the end versus Brecel.
@Sergei1847 😂😂😂😂😂
@@goatlps well last year he lost his sole record of 7, this year it could be youngest ever winner. If Ronnie wins next year that’s 3 records gone.
@Sergei1847 you’re not the holder of any world records
Well done Si❤️❤️❤️ 🇨🇳🇨🇳❤❤❤
....und nun verkackt die Lusche im Halbfinale nach 14:5 Führung!
McGill: Si-ckening.
Gangnam Style
Tempted by a flutter on this kid. 😬
Brecel will get bored and this lad will bore him to death and probably beat him. Brecel likes playing fast.
5:05 What a talent.
Ah yes all the best players sit in armchairs medicated and chomping on grizzle.
If you don't have anything worthwhile to say just keep your mouth shut, simple.
Im just thinking if this chinese sensation gets to the final and selby comes through his match with Allen then selby probably would revert to gamesmanship like he has done in the past, purposely playing slowly and that would probably put Si off like it did to junhui. Dont wanna see that crap
Literally no one in the comments are saying how well McGill has been playing... I guess it's because he's white Scottish lol
I'm calling him suiii from now on
Are you 12?
Luca will destroy him next round , sorry to say . The match last night was full of very low standard play. Neither Si or mcgill deserved to go through .
In these long matches over 3 weeks or longer you will always get high then low standards of play
The winner of the other semi is gunna be the champion
Ronnie was poor against Brecel and Brecal might have peaked too early. Every player usually has a bad match, Si had his and so has McGill.
@@diamondgeezer3933 how long did this match last ??
Have you missed Brecel's two previous sessions against O'Sullivan? He trailed 10-6 even though Sullivan played poor. But, it does not even matter really, Brecel or Si will lose in the final to Allen or Selby
Where are the strong, black ciswomen in this sport?
what kind of weird question is that. anyone can be in this sport if they just win matches.
They don't want to be involved with whites hitting other colours - especially blacks - they don't like that!
😂 please pass what u have been smoking
This is actually hilarious. Ciswomen 😂😂😂
lets be honest, Mcgill was absolute garbage, and si was the same...most of the other players in the draw would have beaten si
STOP. SPOILING. THE. RESULT. IN. THE. TITLE.
STOP. GOING. ON. KZhead. TO. WATCH. THE. GAMES. IF. ITS. A. PROBLEM.
@@DanSorcerer perfectly sensible request. What's the point in uploading the whole final set and spoil the result for people who are just seeing it? No incentive to watch it. Stop crying and being stupid.
