My god, am i the only one that finds this crowd annoying? I like some atmosphere but most people are just screaming for the sake of it. The constant booing is also very annoying
They started doing this on purpose for sure, anyone know someone who has been to these things? I bet the people filming ask the audience to get really noisy. "Let's be really annoying to show the world that snooker isn't a boring slow game!"
Update: Just finished watching the video. Absolutely fantastic frame of snooker and what a round of shooutout! Super stuff. I mean, I get it that you can talk or even shout, but absolutely no reason to behave this way unnecessarily from the crowd; can barely watch while listening to the commentary. The editing panel should reduce the volume of the sound coming from the crowd or balance it out somehow.
There is not good reason for having this as a ranking event. However, it would be unfair to make an invitational event like the Masters a ranking event as it would only serve to create a further gap between those that 'qualify' for it and those that don't.
It is called shoot out, not shout out... jeez The crowd is totally annoying though. Call me old-fashioned but a bit of educated behaviour would not hurt
Ah, the snooker shoot-out. The tournament that brings out all the dregs of society and that snooker fans have to watch on mute, if we bother watching it at all.
Genuinely unwatchable with the volume on. Is this really successful at getting viewers? Is the audience asked to be really noisy by the film staff? I'm not joking, I think they ask them because they think it will "show snooker isn't boring and slow". It's just annoying though, you aren't making the game appealing to people who don't have the attention span to watch normal snooker. A fast-paced variant of snooker would be cool. Why not six-red snooker on a smaller table though? It's actually really fun. And no audience pretending to get hyped up
Jesus this is just pure cringe, makes the Hundred look like the Ashes Snooker doesn't need your focus group rubbish and drunk crowds. It needs proper funding at grassroots level and more exposure on f2a.
Good to see Stephen Lee refereeing this one to make sure it’s fair
Hahahahaha
I thought it was Stephen Maguire.
Lolll
😂
lol acually went back to have a look😂🤣
Wilson's blue ball shootout was outstanding before he missed. Every one clean as a whistle.
My god, am i the only one that finds this crowd annoying? I like some atmosphere but most people are just screaming for the sake of it. The constant booing is also very annoying
It's even worse than the Mosconi Cup! 😩
"These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."
Yeah it's really awful. The only shootout frame I ever watched is Murphy's 147.
Awful. Is nothing sacred?
Have to watch on mute :/
I really enjoyed watching the matches, having of course turned the sound off!
Congratulations Si, wonderful player.
He is regarded as the successor to Ding Junhui.
What a shoutout
What a banger final match. Si is such a joy to watch. Go win it!!!
somehow this is a ranking event
ikr, and the masters isn't 😕
the points are so trivial anyways
Tell me about it. Probably the only way you can get players to participate.
Just a snooker table plonked inside a darts venue.
What a joke.
Easy to see why so many legends retired.
"come on,jakie chan"? This line reminds me of the American crowd in 2024 mosconi cup
This "tournament" doesn't match the nature of this beautiful Gentleman's game. Give these people some pool or just free beer maybe...
wow, how annoying this crowd is….
this is too much shouting, they don't have to ban all noises in shootout, but at least regulate it a little man
it's all or nothing though, how can you have a halfway house? ftr I also think it's annoying af but just dunno where you would draw the line
They started doing this on purpose for sure, anyone know someone who has been to these things? I bet the people filming ask the audience to get really noisy. "Let's be really annoying to show the world that snooker isn't a boring slow game!"
A respotted black ball when the points are level might be a better way to end the frame?
love the atmosphere
Best 17 + minutes I have seen this week ! Great entertainment. They should have more of these ShootOuts !!
Existing game🎉🎉
The Best Shoot Out Frame Ever! ❤
Amazing match.
Great to see Stephen Lee as a referee
Very exciting game Mr Si keep going

This is what WST want.
Great match. Si is cool.
Great match but I’m not so sure Si played the blue in time at the end? It was so close.
Exciting shootout though - phenomenal consistency!
Well done, Si...no pressure there then! Well done, Kyren...next time, perhaps! It's all a bit of good fun! GGs
what a frame, amazing entertainment. Looks like it is easy to pot the blue but it is not.
Si deserved that! Brilliant frame.
Kyren Should take pause before shot
Unreal potter Si Jiahui
This is from last year's shootout. Mark Allen won the tournament.
Incredible stuff!
Tooooooo epic
Good to see the British council estate demographic getting involved in the snooker… it’s not just for the rich and posh after all
The 64 million dollar question why is this considered a ranking event? When the prestigious Masters (top 16) isn't.
There is not good reason for having this as a ranking event. However, it would be unfair to make an invitational event like the Masters a ranking event as it would only serve to create a further gap between those that 'qualify' for it and those that don't.
Kyren with his Marigold glove 🤣🤣
This crowd were all signed up to go on Jeremy Kyle before it went off air
The crowd spoiled it.
What’s the glove about?
The Circus!
Free beer next yr no doubt.
Ref looks like Stephen lee twin brother 😂
Shocking behaviour from the crowd this
So this is in 2023 ? Cuz they didn't mention Kyren winning the world championship ?
Imagine the same shootout , but where the players have to drink a shot of rhum at every 5 points scored .
It's dragging snooker down into the darts & football gutter.....appalling to watch in my opinion.🤷
Why the glove?
A darts crowd at a snooker match. Was the drink free or something?
Be nice some people can't help it!!!
That’s too much crowd noise
The crowd is just a bunch of hooligans.
The whole 'tournament' is nonsense
WTF is happening here?
its too much noise, kills the whole beauty of the game
Crowd totally ruins this event
Had to watch it muted.
ผมชอบที่จะเห็นนักสนุกเกอร์และแฟนที่เข้ามาดู มีความสุข สนุกสนาน มีรอยยิ้ม แต่เสียงโห่ บางทีมันก็น่ารำคาญมากไปหน่อยน้า😅
It is called shoot out, not shout out... jeez
The crowd is totally annoying though. Call me old-fashioned but a bit of educated behaviour would not hurt
Time should be paused while colour is getting reset.
Its more like a shout out instead of a shoot out. Are they druk?
Worst event on the calendar.
Yes, seems like they're trying to emulate the darts atmosphere. People seem to be overdoing the knobhead act.
Misery.
Totally false atmosphere created by alcohol.
This miserable dont miss
absolutely annoying
Siiiiiiiiiiuuuuuuiiiiii 😂
This is the worst thing to happen to snooker
Will they let anyone in the crowd or do you have to prove that you're an oaf?
Noisy spectators!
Average English crowd 😂
How the fck this event is ranking now??? Worst thing happened with snooker.
Slowest referee ever xD

So loud, unwatchable
That tournament should be cancelled ... what a joke of a tournament.. absolutely terrible format ..
I am not a fan of this format of this Gentlemans game at all!! Its ugly , to say the least!! Am sure the pureists agree!!! Stop this pl!!
❤🎉😅
