Respected commentator might be a touch strong - those toe-curlingly bad puns he makes any time he's on comms make me wince. That said given how Shaun Murphy is on commentary, Phil has become somewhat bearable. Something I never thought I'd be able to say.
@@SnookerBreakNo chance would I do that - he wouldn't be doing this for so long otherwise so he does deserve respect in that sense. As long as he reins himself in, he can be fine.
I've detested every word that he has ever uttered whilst commentating on snooker. A thoroughly objectionable man who must know how much he is loathed, yet keeps on annoying everyone with his comments. I now mute the TV whenever he's on, truly awful.
Great interview I enjoyed it. Phil is a lovely bloke and the game needs guys like him.
Fantastic interview, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for uploading.
You're welcome.
Always enjoy Phil Yates, a good snooker man.
He looks like a cross between Ronnie and John Parrott here!
Good head of hair. I wish I had it.
@@SnookerBreak RIP hair. Nostalgic stuff..
10:20 He looks older there (about a couple of decades before) than he does in this interview.
Phil Yates now commentates for ITV
Yes. He's been doing it a long time. He does pool on Sky as well.
Phil 'Wikipedia' Yates.
He certainly knows his stuff.

Yes he can be a bit much sometimes but you can't fault his knowledge or love of the game.

Lamentable. The epitome of mediocrity.

Not a fan then ? I find him alright as a whole , his enthusiasm for the game is unquestioned
….and yet you watched this 😂
