Selt is a right arse for behaving like that in front of the kid. He was very clearly apologetic about it, there was no reason to further make the boy feel even worse about it. Terrible attitude.
That was sad. Possibly the best day of that kids life. I hope he apologises to the lad next time he sees him or even better, send him a nice xmas gift.
I love Snooker and have never watched Zizins, but I feel like he portrays himself very well here showing empathy. Though he will soon have to lose that feeling of guilt if he is going to succeed in elite level sort :)
If Selt changed his attitude I feel he would be much more successful. He seems to be the most negative player on the tour. Flukes are part of the game, that kid didn't deserve to be punished with behaviour like that
Selt is clown because of how he reacted. I can understand that emotions are involved but "Who is to blame if you are losing a game 5-4 from inexperienced, young player? The fluke or yourself?" Its not the fluke that gave Zizins the match. He won 5-4. It's not 1 frame or 1 pot. It's a whole match. A match that Selt normally should win 5-2 or 5-1 due to experience / skill gap. So his behaviour in the end making it look like Zizins won by luck is clown move.
Exactly what I thought. Not to mention the fact that if it hadn't gone down, there was no guarantee that Selt was going to win, but he's carrying on as though the trophy was his if not for that fluke.
Proper gamer rage by Selt. Seriously though. If you are highly competitive, its difficult to lose at times. But at the very least he should properly apologize to the kid after cooling down.
I watched it the other night and it was a shameful act of petulant behaviour from Matthew. It was embarrassing to watch and completely unbecoming behaviour from a professional sportsman; someone that I had quite a lot of respect for up until now. Flukes happen in snooker and the luck runs for and against you. I felt for the lad, he certainly didn’t deserve to be disrespected and to made to feel worse than he already did. He deserves a sincere apology.
The issue with Selt is that he thinks he's far better than he actually is. In his mind he's up there with Ronnie and Higgins. This disconnect with reality means he gets upset when he has no real right to.
Video inspired by Selt's little tantrum I see! Hahah fair enough, good shout. Btw the captioned commentator at 4:16 is the legend Willie Thorne (RIP), but maybe you knew that, Mr Anon AI-voice Snooker :) Decent compilation mate
Don't you think possibly it is something much deeper in Matthew's life and this was just something that brought it out I'm not excusing how he behaved but think it wasn't just a fluke which cost him the match.
@@UXB-p5u100 %most people commenting don't realise they are literally playing to put food on the table at his level lots of stress and pressure not just from the game which is hard enough.If you work hard to provide for your family you should be able to relate to his stress.Hopefully someone checked in on him because he needs some help there.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but when I first started watching in the 70s and 80s, there was none of this. It's all about being mature and acting in a responsible manner. In the old days - being a gentleman.
@@alexboi3148years back an Uncle of mine won a snooker competition at Pontins holiday camp, involving winners from every week over the summer invited back to play off at end of season, prize was a cup and 3 frame match with a professional. The pro was Alex Higgins who lost, refused to shake hands at end of match which upset the winner and Higgins had been drinking beforehand, it almost ended in a boxing match, he would likely have lost that too, my uncle was a former army boxing champ! Alex was a tremendous talent but sadly had his demons.
@@ColinFlowersCarter's a bitter angry wee man so he is m8! He's another one that thinks he's much better than what he is & is bitter at the fact his trophy cabinet is very empty looking despite all his years in the game! Selt's the same, talks a gd game n that!
4:34 Slessor's break off is incredible. Watch the white as it comes back across the table and knocks the black in the pocket. Now what's I call a trick shot! 😂
I've seen the Rory McLeod v Dave Gilbert incident before, but I still cannot decide what Rory was actually arguing about! Matt Selt incident is a new one, but get the impression he can be a bit of a baby.
It must be close for the Rory one, but surely the ref can just place a red to show that both sides of the green can be hit, if he CAN'T, then Rory's right.
We know it's very hard to stay consistent at top level but this certainly isn't gonna help Matt Selt. Hope this doesn't affect the kid's confidence in forthcoming matches.
The first guy should get a years ban from all competitions then see how he behaves having gone a year without prize money. Disgusting behaviour that you would see from a 3yr old.
This'll probably be the thing Selt is remembered for, which is a shame for him really. He had the perfect opportunity to acknowledge it and apologise on a recent interview with Stephen Hendry but instead chose to defend his actions.
Anyone that's played snooker will understand the frustration of losing a frame by an absolute fluke, especially if it's not the first of the game. Up the legion we have adopted having beer mats given for flukey plays/snookers 😂😂😂
I would always defend Ronnie on the incident in the World Champ final, if anything, Referee Marteel was being disrespectful for having to ask Judd to wait before taking his shot only to talk to O'Sullivan for something he did that nobody else was aware of, only irritating both players.
Outrageous outburst by Selt, he was being a bully, just didn't like being beaten by a young player so tried to make him feel bad. Selt is a prat in my opinion.
as if he never got lucky in his career, its pathetic, if I was his opponent at that moment I would rub it in as much as possible, no chance of apology after that reaction
The Ronnie Osullivan referee incident it was actually the referee who was highly disrespectful in his timing, Judd Trump was waiting to play and focusing in on a shot when the referee decided to stop play to talk to Ronnie, Trump wasnt happy about it but the video didnt show that part
Sent can be pissed off aw he wants, end of the day his own doing it got to that point anyway. If he played better and was ahead 5 4 frames for example, then the fluke would have less impact overall, so his own fault. Good on the kid, hope he has a successful snooker career, we need more Brits coming through to takeover from the aging older pro's.
That are emotions and thats it. I play pool and broke a few cues. Not angry on your opponent but angry on yourselve you missed important easy shots. And then your opponent gets a lucky. Yeh you trip out if its you caracter
I've seen several players get mad when the other player flukes one in. That is so stupid. It happens. Just part of snooker and pool. Get over it. And then I've seen some people crying when they themselves fluke one in. They are so upset. Lol. You should be happy. You just won the match. You don't flaunt it but you don't have to cry about it. Lol.
That's what can happen if your opponent is in front in the deciding frame. Maybe play better next time so you don't give your opponent a chance of winning.
Calling a miss on the last one is kind of harsh. The left middle pocket is clearly in the way. Playing with any left hand side like Ronnie did will only tighter the angle as the black will be covering the yellow even more.
Snooker is a fickle mistress. One minute she's bestowing gift after gift after gift, upon you. Next she's kicking you all over the place, and when you are down she kicks you even more LOL
Re. Selt, the “oh my god!!” was bad enough, but maybe forgivable. But to keep it going for a few minutes after? Come on man.. No one can forgive that …
I've said it before but the powers that be need to hire Steven seagal to stand near the referee at every match..any trouble and Steven will do some kind of ninja stuff and immediately there will be no more nonsense
Selt is a right arse for behaving like that in front of the kid. He was very clearly apologetic about it, there was no reason to further make the boy feel even worse about it. Terrible attitude.
The only player who can react like that is the player who has never fluked an important shot. I've never met that guy.
Like Salt has never fluked a ball 🎉 seems like he had a bit of money trouble coming his way , hence the toys out the pram .
Matthew Selt was an asshole his whole career already.
@@AndrewNeilBaird "Salt". I see what you did there. 😁😁
That was sad. Possibly the best day of that kids life. I hope he apologises to the lad next time he sees him or even better, send him a nice xmas gift.
If thats how he chooses to act, long may the flukes against him continue.
😂
Haha right
hahahahaa ughhhh my guts , so true.

Wilson smashing the red and fluking it after getting angry at missing the first one is comedy gold
Not about wilson😮😮
I don't even know how that first red stayed out of the pocket!
If Selt changed his attitude I feel he would be much more successful. He seems to be the most negative player on the tour. Flukes are part of the game, that kid didn't deserve to be punished with behaviour like that

Is ronnie also a disgrace then? 3 quarters of this video is him
@@oscarrowley9504yeh sometimes
He's a weirdo, always has been
I feel so sorry for Artemijs after that. Should have been a fantastic moment for him which was completely ruined.
The young kid was awesome in the decider under pressure.
"Have a good Christmas" 😂
Quality from the kid.
Proper gamer rage by Selt.
Seriously though. If you are highly competitive, its difficult to lose at times. But at the very least he should properly apologize to the kid after cooling down.
wonder how he would fare in csgo. I know id scream bloody murder :D

Don’t worry kid, everyone gets a fluke, it’s not your fault it came at a deciding time .
Notice how most of these clips contain Mr O'Sullivan. No surprise there.

Matthew Selt his no where near to being one of the more hated players on the tour.
So Selt has never fluked a ball, eh? What a bell-end?
I’ve always thought selt was a piece of work

Matt Selt incident took place last night
Rory was right, the white needs to hit either side of the object ball but he couldn’t hit the left without hitting the black.
i think Rory is correct
We know it's very hard to stay consistent at top level but this certainly isn't gonna help Matt Selt. Hope this doesn't affect the kid's confidence in forthcoming matches.
Selt is mumpy grumpy kid... Crying
M Selt is a disgrace. He should apologise for such behaviour.
Angered bald man Phil and Grant's brother 😆 🤣 😂 😹
Oy, leave us baldies alone. Reported for baldism!
The first guy should get a years ban from all competitions then see how he behaves having gone a year without prize money. Disgusting behaviour that you would see from a 3yr old.
The lad said have a good xmas lol
Awwwww. Selt needed a hug.
Hopefully this gets dealt with asap, has to be stamped out, got to be a suspension at minimum. Fine won’t cut it
This'll probably be the thing Selt is remembered for, which is a shame for him really. He had the perfect opportunity to acknowledge it and apologise on a recent interview with Stephen Hendry but instead chose to defend his actions.
Slessor forgot for a second he was playing snooker and not pool. 😂
He also potted the black.
😂😂😂
He thought he was playing super 9-ball and executed a super shot and won.
it think for a 20 years career or more you're allowed to have a moment like that.
Selt lost best of nine. It wasn’t the fluked red that was to blame, it was him. He had plenty of chances obviously.
I hope he was fined
Someone struggling for money just before Christmas
Or with the bookies.
Snooker lesson no 1 is a simple one which you must learn fast grasshopper , broken expectations create anger
u never see the top players very rarely or even wont behave like him..
That first one... i get it lol. It can be such an evil game.
Classless O'Sullivan as usual
Players know that at times it's frustrating
Great video
roonies looks like a child sometimes
If that was me against Selt i'd be laughing.....loudly. Bad losers always make me laugh. :)
Gary Wilson's fluke was awesome.
o'sullivan "trying" to show off as usual....
Selt out played 😂 this player played well to beat him I hope he said gg when he walked off haha
Outplayed him by losing best of nine. Yeah, keep dreaming that.
Anyone that's played snooker will understand the frustration of losing a frame by an absolute fluke, especially if it's not the first of the game. Up the legion we have adopted having beer mats given for flukey plays/snookers 😂😂😂
If someone behaves in this manner they should be banned or fined totally unsportsmanlike.
Poor young lad playing Matthew selt. I’d be embarrassed to play him knowing he lost his temper
I think that was a free back for Rory. The black is a little too high up to hit the extreme side of the green.
I agree and Gilbert should have checked it out from Rory’s point of view.
I would always defend Ronnie on the incident in the World Champ final, if anything, Referee Marteel was being disrespectful for having to ask Judd to wait before taking his shot only to talk to O'Sullivan for something he did that nobody else was aware of, only irritating both players.
He's a fair ref he wouldn't do it without justification even if no-one else saw it
Selt 😢 what a 🔔 end.
Outrageous outburst by Selt, he was being a bully, just didn't like being beaten by a young player so tried to make him feel bad. Selt is a prat in my opinion.
The last match ronnie would've taken the free ball. I guess mark selby wasnt balsy enough to finish the match. Smh
Selt losing feels so satisfying
Judd went on a roll in the Northern Ireland Open after losing in the first round in 2017 and he won it three years in a row!
He's had a seltdown.
as if he never got lucky in his career, its pathetic, if I was his opponent at that moment I would rub it in as much as possible, no chance of apology after that reaction
Just emotions. Its just against yourself
Keep ya day job badly 😂😂😂😂😂
Rory McCloud should have been given a free ball there against Gilbert
I’m sure he won’t react like that if his opponent was Ronnie
Time for Selt to change careers
The Ronnie Osullivan referee incident it was actually the referee who was highly disrespectful in his timing, Judd Trump was waiting to play and focusing in on a shot when the referee decided to stop play to talk to Ronnie, Trump wasnt happy about it but the video didnt show that part
Selt just sucks he had lots of opportunities to win in the match prior
Selt was a total cry baby here and appeared to be disrepectful as well by conceding when the player is still at the table.

If he played better and was ahead 5 4 frames for example, then the fluke would have less impact overall, so his own fault.

What about Hann v Hicks who wanted a fight.
Didn’t know Cru could play snooker.
Mathew Selt should play Darts
That last one shouldn't have been a miss. There was no angel even with English to be able to hit the yellow.
That is whats Ronnie thought...and he eventually concedes the frame that way
That are emotions and thats it. I play pool and broke a few cues. Not angry on your opponent but angry on yourselve you missed important easy shots. And then your opponent gets a lucky. Yeh you trip out if its you caracter
Jesus, Selt! How old are you? Show sone damn respect. How do you expect to win anything when you act like that?

as if selt has never had a fluke
5 year old dressed as a Snooker player is Selt.
The question is.. would selt act like this if he was facing one of the top guys ?
Absolutely no
He should be fined for this
obviously not since this was a qualification game against a lesser player hence his frustration
not that hard to figure out if you have an iq above 65
@ I think it’s not hard to realize that my comment is similar to yours, but in a different way. If your skull is indeed enclosing a brain, not an ass.

If that kid had been an older guy Selt would never have acted like that. What a bully!
The first guy shouted because he was still 32 behind and needed to pot a colour to win game.
Probably had the house on the win
Selt is such an egomaniac. How cn you be angry about a fluke? Unbelievable...
Selt looked like he was on summit last year in that semi I think it was on tv eyes were allover
Flukes are part of the game. I personally would have punched the air in delight and laughed at the mard árse, Selt, at his reaction.
8:37 that was literally a free ball!😂
I don't think so. My thoughts r same as referee
@dujesimic6647 no, it's not opinion. It's fact.
He couldn't hit both sides of the ball, that is literally a free ball👍🏻
Re. Selt, the “oh my god!!” was bad enough, but maybe forgivable. But to keep it going for a few minutes after? Come on man.. No one can forgive that …
