- O'Sullivan takes his frustrations out on referee, Leo Scullion, who displeases him by calling a touching ball. O'Sullivan suggests that Scullion should have his eyes tested for a new pair of glasses!
28/04/10 - Quarter-Final
Selby 13-11 O'sullivan
I hate to see that side of Ronnie
I feel sorry for that old man
hani bandah same
I don't I was hoping he was gonna get a dig
Fuk off you SNOWFLAKE, if ronnie says it isnt touching then it isnt touching!
Bungling Bill If you can't even spell the word "fuck" properly, I doubt you're qualified to operate a television, never mind referee a snooker match. Moron.
Same
A couple of grown men arguing over balls touching
Mr Fantastic 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfao
Eliminating ain't it
Mr Fantastic ew dont say it like that
Why make the old guy feel down infront of all them ppl
+Teddi786 OG Because he doesn't have much class.
+leedsmanc I do think he's on some drugs though
It wasn't a touching ball so Ronnie was within his rights to complain
@@leedsmanc
Don't have much class but he seem to have one the UK title not long back you doughnut
@@leedsmanc
Ronnie O'Sullivan is only the best man to pick up a snooker cue that ever lived still never mind he has not got that which class according to your Dumb ass brain. !!
Ref got it right, just because he wears glasses doesn't mean he's blind
Didn't wasn't touching ball, wrong camera angle from here
He's old so his eyes are worn out
+underneonloneliness2 I'm not old and don't need glasses that was definitely touching
Just because you wears glasses doesn't mean you see well with
its just ronnie mate hes a cheeky fuck!
The way Ronnie treated the referee here is appalling
You can say that, but, if Ronny looks from every single angle that we can not see from the video, and he 100% KNOWS the balls are not touching, why should he sit there and say the referee is always correct?
If he is expected to say that the referee is correct, well that means we live in a dictatorship!!!!!
+Green eel
it is dictatorship.
Referees are the one who have the ultimate say on everything. they can listen to the opinion but there is no democracy nor vote happening in sports.
Referee says they are touching, so they are. and what ronny thinks is irrelevant he must obey. And if he believes there was a great misconduct by the dictator the only people who can do something about that is the 'snooker association' (whoever governs this sport and this championship)
+dreed100 thats snooker. refs are no arseholes in snooker and never have been. maybe in other sports, but not snooker.
StrangeDeimos well if you think about it. The call is in his favor when the balls are touching so he was able to play that safe shot. So thats why he probably didn't say anything
calm down dreed...referees are sometimes extremely blind...and can turn the tables...so stfu
poor ref, he broke my heart. His age deserve respect, not to joke with him ronnie.
everything ages..if he's too old to do this then...just retire...it's as simple as that
His fk age?? Dude grow the fuck up
You don’t win respect with age...
@Anifco67 The balls were touching so he can judge properly . just saying
He's only 22 we go out every Friday on the pull together ;-)
I really feel sorry for the ref in that situation... Such a pitty that Ronnie sometimes forgets the etiquette of snooker
Not at all he is too old iv spoken to leeds based professionals who say the same.
Ronnie is the main man
@@jimsgarage3311 you answered him seven years later, by which time he obviously would have been a lot older.
And it’s not up to the Leeds based player to decide whether or not he’s too old to officiate, it’s up to the WPBSA.
And many years later, he’s still doing the same, such as in this years Championship. Just because Ronnie is extremely talented, it doesn’t give him the right to have a complete lack of courtesy towards the referee.
@@oleggorky906 tbf, Ronnie cultists don't tend to be the sharpest
@@sonicdiablo8968 point taken! 🤣
Ronnie was out of order here. From the camera shot it looks like it is touching ball to me, but regardless of whether it is or not Ronnie must accept the Referee's decision. Coming out with comments like "Should get your eyes tested" is disrespectful.
+Stevie BieberDaman I'm not sure about that, Ronnie was coming across as argumentative and arrogant to me. Perhaps I'm wrong but it didn't seem like banter to me.
***** like I said this is nothing compare to what footballers say to referees just my opinion
+Collins LFC agreed, he lost control and was out of order.
+Stevie BieberDaman agree with this too - footballers get away with an incredible amount. Though I suppose it is possible for Ronnie and abusive footballers to both be in the wrong :)
Agree... Ronnie was a dick
Ref should have said 'u need ur fekin head testin u crazy loony kant'
Matt King 😂😂😹😹
Yeah should have gone full Glasgow on him.
Matt King - Your the real MVP 😂😂👍👍
😂😂
Are u mark king
Referee was a policeman, so used to dealing with thugs like O'Sullivan!
THUG?? You're a muppet.
It's sad that neither commentator called Ronnie out on his behaviour
That's because Dennis Taylor is the biggest Robbie fanboy going. Practically wanks himself into a frenzy whenever he watches him.
They never do. His behaviour is often appalling and no one in Snooker ever calls him out on it.
I like ronnie but how rude can one person be? Ridiculing an elderly person in front of a huge crowd
Was does the referees age have to do with it? ronnie would have said it if he was any age
I know he would, because he's rude, however his age makes its worse, should show more respect
He's vocal about a decision by the referee? Maybe his age and fact he wears glasses should come in to question, maybe he's not fit enough to referee
the ball was touching, hes not unfit to referee? and he wasnt just being vocal, that wouldve been understandable, he was just plain insulting and then tried to embarrass him
+aroundtheworlda you should have watched it in HD it wernt touching.
Pure professionalism from the ref - well done to that guy. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful behaviour from Ronnie.
not very professional from Ronnie
Monaco Super indeed,
Just so unsportsmanlike!
Yep, and it defo looked touching lol
How is that on sportsman like it was not a touching ball you need to go to specsavers and get your eyes tested
Razwana Khan lmao superhuman right here!
@@tidetrotterhd8916
Well comsidering Ronnie is lot younger with far better eye sight then Mr Magoo reff here you would have to say its not a touching ball obviously and i spotted a tiny gap also so well done Ronnie for pointing that out infact if i was Ronnie i would of refused to continue playing.
Nobody likes a bad reff no matter if he is 80.
Poor Referee, he seems like a kind man
9 years ago, this moment only seems yestoday, for some reason i alwasy remember it lol
Poor bloke, he looked well sad when Ronnie told him to get his eyes tested. I would have handed Selby the frame if he gave me that attitude.
That was so rude, made me sad...
Really lost some respect for Ronnie after seeing this. Shameful behaviour, he might not agree with his decision but he also has to remember he has to conduct himself in a proper way. Not to mention ridiculing an elderly man like that is disgraceful.
mybackpocket well what if you had thousands of dollars on the line and someone made a bad call your way? You'd do the samething
SiphonicAtom He is a professional sportsman playing in a professional tournament and there are rules. No you cannot behave this way and it is not right that Ronnie behaves so badly. There is a correct procedure to follow if he is not happy. This isn’t it.
@@siphonicatom1982 , he didn't get a bad call against him.
You get penalized in some sports for conduct like that. I think the ref was being pretty nice to let it go.
Dark side of Ronnie, what a bully. Shame it wasn't Michaela Tabb, she would have put him in his place.
I remember this incident, Ronnie and a World Snooker official had a massive argument after this game about this, Ronnie tried to get Scullion suspended, had Scullion have reported this incident, Ronnie would have been fined a significant sum of money
Ronnie has a lot of money to spare. He deliberately got a 146 for a laugh because he thought the £10,000 prize money wasn't enough
I liked how ref stayed professional
really wanted the referee to say
"Fack awrf, yew mug."
But can he do it on a cold rainy night in stoke?
It was on a cold rainy night in Sheffield :D
@@luger666666 it was fairly warm
It don't havto.. his body of work speaks volumes on the table
Not many can.
I am sorry for the referee and thanks him for being patient and understanding. Referee could be wrong in seeing the way, Ronnie is seeing the balls. Referee decision should be considered as final one and no comments should be made. I am a player and can understand how much agitated it's for a player to face a wrong decision but a true sportsman always respect his/her opponent and referee's decision.
+Manoj Negi true words, mate. Referee has the last word. Discussion is welcome but it has to stop at a certain point.
+Hirschi74 Thanks!
Of course you're correct, but maybe the ref was right.
Agree, love Ronnie but thought he was out of order here. U shouldnt challenge the ref decision.
Manoj Negi ii
He should have gave him a cuddle after and said "Touching balls"
Feel so sorry for the ref.. :( you dropped a little in my book O'sullivan
Why you think less of him because he wants a fair game
Could the ball have moved forward a bees dick on its own it must be possible
Would have made a great 'should have gone to specsavers' advert
Referees should have a stobe light and its easy to test if its touching by seeing if the light travels through, end of story. Even an ordinary torch would do.
😂😂 that's what I was thinking right now. Hell even a normal flashlight would do the trick.
Whether Ronnie was right or wrong about the touching balls, his disrespect of the referee was really out of order and he should have been fined. I love Ronnies play, best Snooker player ever by a good margin.
This is why we love Ronnie so much. The game needs more players like him which as of now sure seems highly unlikely to ever happen. Such players come once in a lifetime. Proud to watch him play
It is a TOUCHING ball from my point of view 13 years after 👉⚪🔴👈
Amazed that he didn't get a fine. Just cannot talk to a referee like that.
In defense of Ronnie, it is very possible the camera angle wasn't quite at a 90 degree angle. If the camera angle is off just a hair then the could look touching on the camera but not actually be.
That said, just looking at the shot itself, they appeared to come back together after making contact. So, most likely they were touching.
This is the ref of the 2019 championship final, happening right now. Bet he’s glad this is the year Ronnie was beaten in the first round.
selby is just like ,,•_• uhm dunno"
The ref was right, it was a touching ball. Ronnie the legend and the best most of the time got it wrong in more than one way. He shouldn't have said such things. The poor ref got affected could be seen from the face.
None of us can say it was touching. You'd need the perfect camera angle to see a gap, and it clearly wasnt the perfect angle (the outline of each ball overlap). If a professional player sees a gap, the gap exists.
I can remember Ray Reardon having the same problem with a Ref in a match so the next session he brought along a giant magnifying glass haha
i have to say one thing snooker players are skinnier than darts players.
PoPeYeBIGBOSS I don't really understand the grammar on sites about Stephen Lee can you explain in easy grammar how he cheated?
***** He fixed games, meaning that he paid the other player to lose.
***** Yeah, sport is all about money these days.
PoPeYeBIGBOSS
What about John Higgins who agreed on camera to an undercover reporter from a newspaper to fix matches for £300,000 ?
Stephen Lee is a twat in my opinion but his career is over, whereas Johnny boy did not. Classic case of double standards and possible bribery by World Snooker if you ask me. Plus, Stephen Lee was not caught agreeing to fix frames or matches on camera or an audio recording device by anyone and he got a 12 year ban plus a huge fine and a bill for costs incurred (which he deserved) but John Fatty Higgins got a slap on the wrist.

It was amusing when he checked the miss to see if it was touching lol
Should always remain a gentleman's game.
Never a dull moment with Ronnie is there
He's an amazing player, also a Fanny.
Felt sorry for that ref until he said he was a former copper lol
i like ronnie, BUT HE HAS NO RESPECT, I WOULD HAVE WARNED HIM.
don't get me wrong, i fully understand what you mean, but refereeing is an occupation that requires skill and precision, and they must be ready to face some back-talk. If he didn't like it, he should have sent him off.
referee kept his cool
Respect your elders man. Even if they're wrong. It hurts them a lot more if they are told off by a younger person. I would feel crappy if a kid pointed out my mistakes.
I like Ronnie but there is no need to act like that. Felt quite sorry for the ref there.
that camera close up is on a slight angle which may not show a gap. i have had balls with a slight gap that people think are touching because you have to look super close
Ronnie is the greatest player ever. He behaved like a child here.
A large Rizla paper gently slid down between them would of cleared this up.
You could fit a Double Decker Bus between those Balls
Ronnie O'Sullivan is the best snooker player of ALL TIMES , but I think he would have had to abstain sayin that to referee
john doe bollox. Hendry was the best ever player..and consistand too, never spat the dummy.. osullivan is not fit to clean Hendry's shoes..
john doe You're joking right? Steve Davis or Alex Higgins, plenty more I could name, it's a very competitive game.
rob b u cant be serious
You're either under 10 years of age or you're completely unaware of Snooker prior to 2005. Hendry, Davis, Higgens (both of them), Hunter and Reardon are equal to, if not greater than O'sullivan.
the shot didnt touch the ball. it rocked back on the nap, i admire the sportmanship in snooker
this is exactly why I never like o'sullivan, no matter how good he is.
who gives a shit what you like or dislike.
The referee handled it superbly
give him a yellow card
What a poor sport. He missed an easy shot and couldn’t own it.
WHY DIDN'T THEY GET A SECOND OPINION? I have heard Ronnie call a foul on himself in crucial situations, so he wasn't trying to cheat. So, as much as he went about it COMPLETELY the wrong way, I trust Ronnie's marksman eagle eyes over the ref's retired tired old eyes. Speaking as an older person myself, I know that nothing on this old classic is as good as it's racing colours days. I'd have asked for a second opinion.
BeerGogglesReviews wow. It's you. I watch your channel. Lol. Friends with you on Facebook also. Small world. Keep up the good vids.
you dont need something special to have respect. just respect him for being a person.
I love u so Much Ronnie but what u did here is bad :-(
When they did the close up shots, why didn't they look at it from a 90 degree angle? They had a slight angle on it, so you couldn't see for sure if it was touching ball or not.
Technically Ronnnie is correct, as no two objects ever touch. Just their negative electrons pushing against each other. :p
I think however that the two balls are as close as they can get, therefore by the rules of snooker they are touching.
“Go on ref!”
Classic
Never argue with referees whether they're right or wrong.
You are Damn right. That's the spirit of sport, any sports.
At least never argue twice. A player can politely ask ONCE for a re-check. ONCE, and not insult the referee.
Ask once never twice
I think it must be something like a laser pointer to test if balls actually touching.
think this ref has gone past his selby date
+Stephen Coulter I think you meant sell by date? In any case, I think it's actually YOU who is past their sell by date. If you think the ref was wrong, then plainly it's YOU who needs glasses, and thick ones at that.
+Stephen Coulter I like that pmsl
+THE-GOAT-79 not all there is he....funny as hell my comment like looking back
very underrated comment
Nice one haha
i really dont think that [Ref of snooker] can be taken by someone who needs to wear glasses. Not I'm saying Ronnie or the Ref is right, but I'm saying this Ref should not be the Ref of snooker.
Disrespectful Ronnie
Oh, shut up, O'Sullivan - They're touching and it's you who need both your eyesight and attitude testing. I don't how the ref kept his cool.
+stunninglad1 Atoms NEVER physically touch each other
Korab
It won't touch her, but forces will cause some affection
OK the old mans probably wrong ,the guys probably only got a few more gigs left ,let him keep his dignity and just swallow it Ronnie ,you can give anyone a headstart and still beat em comprehensively, the old guy was probably sobbing into his pillow that night
nah i don't think he sobbed, he's less delicate than you

Only O'Sullivan would insult someone to that level.
Definitely touching
@@65971 And how the fuck can you tell they aren't touching? Just cos Ronnie says so?! You fucking arsehole!!!

Easy because Ronnie is a lot younger than the referee with better eyesight and he's proved that by making a 147 in 5 minutes and 20 seconds

Spot some if these idiots was born without a brain.
I Love Ronnie, but Genuinely feel Sorry For The Referee - it looks like he was going to cry. Ronnie took his frustration of Selby out on the Referee.
Very rude from ronnie , He's my idol but this video changed my opinion about him.. I feel sad for the old man
+Mustafa Hadi he didnt hit him
He embarrassed him in front of this big crowd , he needs to show more respect
Mustafa Hadi he looks like creed from the ofice
lee armstrong 🖕
The guy is a referee and an ex police officer, I'm pretty sure he's used to hearing this sort of thing and doesn't need anyone's sympathy... hence why he didn't make a complaint and get Ronnie fined, it was nothing to him and him being a police officer in Glasgow, were I'm from, I can tell you for absolute certainty that he's heard way worse. Also Ronnie didn't ask to be anyone's idol and if you make anyone your idol they could NEVER live up to your standards with a spot light on them, if you like someone then don't idolize them because one day you WILL be disappointed.
Ref looked like he was gonna cry bless him
35 is a bit old for this petulant behavior. Mark Selby won this game 13-11.
I'm glad to hear it he's a p***k
Respect someone if they're wrong just because they're older? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He's a professional referee for god sake.
Really Ronnie? Just look at that poor refs face
Shining a small flashlight through one side would put that to a rest.
Very entertaining to look at the comments here.
Boo'Sullivan needs to get his manners checked, tested and approved before he's ever allowed to engage with people! Utter prick; feel sorry for the referee who was absolutely correct in holding it was a touching ball.
I Felt Like That Man Wanted To cry 😢 it so heartbreaking to See
Point is the ref and the commentators had access to "higher resolution" and agreed Ronnie was wrong.
Very disrespectful, to a decent quality referee
I was taught to respect my elders
Best player ever but not the greatest. The greatest personifies manners and carries himself with dignity and not act like a spoilt child.
You're so right. If he was a footballer, he would have the skills of Goerge Best but the style and grace of Joey Barton.
Spot in Jezza, Ronnie has no class and disrespects the game, he is though as you say the best ever but certainly not the greatest... I'd give that title to Davis and Hendry, in their generations respectively they changed the game completely and did it with dignity. Ronnie is by far the best but also possibly the worst from other perspectives
I'm a huge Ronnie fan but that definitely that was a touching ball there was no doubt about it. He shouldn't have insulted the referee that way.
This is why I've always thought Ronnie is an egotist and a bully. Yes, he's a great snooker player but a lot of his behaviour is like a spoilt child. I wonder if Steve Peters thinks so?
Then Ronnie has the cheek to say he only plays for a bit of fun and not to take it all too seriously. Ronnie is quite damaged I'd say. The definition of a flawed genius.
couldnt agree more, i've said it for a long time, ronnie the snooker player and ronnie the person are 2 opposites
The referee is a gentleman, nuff said
Love Ronnie - but he was out of line here. He made his point initially and that should have been the end of it. The ref made his decision and it looked like they were touching. Get on with it.
The camera was NOT faced square to the angle, but from the angle it was viewing it did appear to be touching and it may have been touching but we will never know 100% from that cam angle.
Poor referee
May look there there touching but Ronnie's right.
I'm pretty sure that they were touching. Regardless, Ronnie should have just taken it on the chin.
3:13 hello darkness my old friend
I pity the referee. They have a difficult job as it it, without ridicule. Hope Ronnie apologised.
You know Ronnie will probably one day be on some Celeb BB series. If it's still running in a few years when he retires. He's that sort of controversial character they love who will "spice" things up but I just think he's an arsehole. Always have and I'm not alone. Great player, probably greatest of all time, but a total arsehole.
I am so glad my bad calls and judgments are not on RUclips for everyone to comment on.
