Remember this well. Ebdon, although a supremely boring player, was purposefully playing slow (to his standard even) to wind Ronnie up. And I think he ‘won’. Absolute c***!
i remember that Dott vs Ebdon, another marathon borefest. Dot was dozing off during the match, but they both played the unnecessary super low boring crap game. Ebdon tired first.
Peter Ebdon is currently being hospitalised after running a 110 yards hurdle against a snail well in his retirement days and dislocating his ankle after reaching the finish line. The snail won by the way.
You gotta feel sorry for Ebdon's wife. Peter staring down her hole, Thinks about going in balls deep, than decides against it after half an hour and plays a safety.
Jack Alexander was the only way that ebdon could beat him and he knew it so he just tried getting in ronnie's head and it worked since i'm sure he was 10-6 down in that match and won 13-11
I hate Ebdon for this match. 2005 should've been ronnies year. In the end the fat choir boy won. We might've see. Ronnie get 7 or 8 world titles if he won this world title this year
+chose540 He has compiled in excess of 300 century breaks during his career & Ebdon was only the second player to have made two competitive maximum 147 breaks in professional tournament play!
I cant believe the ref didnt call Ebdon for intentionally stalling the game, because this is ridiculous he took 19 strokes at the pink ball before potting it. Delay of game,and piss poor sportsmanship.
I remember watching it at the time and shouting at the telly. Just pure gamesmanship and taking the p but I am not sure what provision there is in the rules for actually doing anything about it
@@andrewchapman4267 Under Section 4 of the snooker rules, Point 3 Time Wasting a) the rule specifically states "In the event of a player taking an abnormal amount of time over a stroke or the selection of a stroke, the referee shall warn the player that in the event of any further Time Wasting during the game, the frame will be awarded to their opponent."

@@Holombarthes I bow down to your superior knowledge haha. So basically down to the discretion of the ref. And he really should have "had a word" with Ebdon then, rather than letting him get away with it.
Time wasting rule is never enforced unless the ref sees the player deliberately wasting time when the shot that's "on" is clearly straight forward and there's nothing much to think about which is rare in pro snooker. Ebdon was exceptionally slow here, even for him, and I think if he did take much longer the ref would've warned him.
What a brilliant idea for a video. And not only is the video itself the funniest thing on You Tube, but all the comments posted below it are hilarious. In years of watching You Tube videos, this is by far the funniest combination of video and comments I have ever seen. Congratulations on compiling the video, and further congratulations to everyone who commented below. I haven't laughed so much for years. I'm going to bookmark this page for future enjoyment. The subject matter, of Peter Ebdon undermining Ronnie's play with his snail-pace gamesmanship is actually very annoying, but the adroit wit of YT contributors has turned it into a tour de force of entertainment which rightly lampoons these tactics. What annoyed me when this was happening for real was that it was Ronnie being censured for his reaction to all this, not Ebdon for doing it. However now, thanks to this video and all these comments, justice has been done and it is Peter Ebdon in the firing line. Great result, and very good fun. Maybe it is time to impose time limits for shots in snooker, like they have for chess moves.
The referee can warn a player about slow play. That effectively put a halt to the progress of Dean Reynolds at both of his most successful runs in the World Championship,his 1982 debut and his only quarter-final appearance in 1989. He was most upset about it because in his case he wasn't doing it as a deliberate act of gamesmanship,rather he was a player naturally inclined to take a long time considering his shots carefully and trying to think as far ahead as possible when building a break.
They’re funny no doubt but Put “Steve war rations” into RUclips. The guy eats 90 yr old war rations. the funniest fucking comments I’ve seen on RUclips.
I always wanted to see these two immortal breaks side by side on a split screen, and now it's come true! It's so mad to see these 2 players having a race to see who can complete their respective break first. Think Ronnie just edged it ! I think this is my favourite snooker video now. Thank you boezempeil010 !
also a dream of mine coming through. Ebdon being a pure genius with his 12 break stunner and as icing on the cake Ronnie on the left with photo finish 147!
I like Ebdon, it's good that I know I can tune out as I go to work, do some shopping, go on holiday, start a family, etc. And still I won't miss a frame.
burst on the snooker scene as a pony tailed exiting new player to invigorate the game....... then it became apparent he was the most boring snooker player who ever lived making terry Griffiths look like Tony drago. but it has to be respected peter ebdon and Terry Griffiths can call themselves snooker world champions.
Amazing. I saw this live, I believe and it was purely sublime. Never be beaten or bettered. Poor Peter Ebdon. He must despite this comparison. But fair play to him. He roared Ronnie on from the crowd when he got his 7th title.
I was about 10 when that match was on TV and Peter Ebdon became snooker's villain for me ever since. It's only in recent years when I've seen him punditing that I've realised he was just playing his own game and not Ronnie's, and he also seems like a fairly nice guy.
In Peter's defense, he did score his 12 points faster than Ronnie scored 147. This the most EPIC snooker video on RUclips. I just love how this video ends. Make this viral, guys.
The hair fell by themselves when he saw how slow was Ebdon playing...The "Please Kill Me" look on his face in the last few seconds is just PRICELESS...
the dumb ref didnt clean the red ball, he should know things pick up dirt over time and this is exactly why Peter Ebdon missed. major mistake by the ref in a crucial game.
Great to watch ebdon plays. You can start cooking the supper when he pots the first red and by the time the supper is ready you can always catch up when he goes for the color and with time to spare.👍
There used to be a rule in snooker that went something like this."If the referee believes a player is taking an inordinate amount of time over his shots with the intention of upsetting his opponent,the referee will warn him that he will be disqualified if he pursues these tactics."To this day I believe the ref should have had a word with Ebdon.He must have known what he was up to.
Great idea to show a splitscreen upload of this! I appreciate the timescales involved and will say to any Ebdon-haters this - remember these frames were both about Ronnie. I deem Ebdon a great player worthy of his 2002 crown, but bear in mind he played the match that this contentious frame was taken from against the one man capable if doing what you see on the left. These clips depict the best (so far) and the worst of Ronnie, the finest snooker player to lift a cue.
At no point during that maximum break did Ronnie looked rushed. He chalked his cue, walked round and checked angles. Watching Ebdon is fucking torture.
if you continue to watch the original clip when ebdon misses and then sits down, you shall see ronnie giving him a very sarcastic smirk. now that integrated into the ending of this video would have been the cherry on the top to your video edit. together with being one of my fav utube clips
I know they're not all going to be ronnie but this performance, ebdon has to either retire or be fined/suspended for timewasting and wasting the time of peoples' lives. A bit of a disgrace.
Such a shame that Ebdon has retired from the game, it would be interesting to see him and Selby play a game. Not sure who would bore the other first. 😂
I can't help but think that Ebdon could have got that last red in if he hadn't rushed himself.
Back in the good old days of Top comments this would surely have been up there.
Big LOL
Haha
+JMWriter Thoughts That's platinum.
loool nice
I heard Ebdon is playing the 2001 China open at the moment.

Lmao
Dotty did him proud though, slayed the Ebdon Goliath
i remember that Dott vs Ebdon, another marathon borefest. Dot was dozing off during the match, but they both played the unnecessary super low boring crap game. Ebdon tired first.

And he went a whole season without potting a ball as part of that break! 😂😂😂

Peter Ebdon is currently being hospitalised after running a 110 yards hurdle against a snail well in his retirement days and dislocating his ankle after reaching the finish line.
The snail won by the way.
Many believe the snail not to be a worthy champion as the main contender from previous years(THE TORTOISE)had to pull out due to injury warming up.
When Peter was asked if he could describe the assailants he replied, "I'm not sure. It all happened so fast".
You gotta feel sorry for Ebdon's wife. Peter staring down her hole, Thinks about going in balls deep, than decides against it after half an hour and plays a safety.

@@billywhitewolf You think it's just normal Ebdon or was he trying to ''Ice'' Ronnie by stalling out long as he could?
I’ll never get bored of this split screen vid. It’s wonderful.
Absolute genius. I can only dream of making a 12 break.
How he gets the 12 is fantastic, the pressure he was going though for that red for 13 must off been unbeilevble.
Skipping through the video and ebdon is on the same ball.
1 : 1
5 : 33
6 : 80
12 : 97
12 (missed) : 147 (not missed)

Hats off to Ebdon that 12 break was world class. There is no other player who could do that. Amazing!! One of the greats of the game.
Yes. He was one of the grates of the game ...
On the left you'll see how easy the game is
On the right you'll see how fucking hard the game is.
Best comment on this video.
+Coja Majmun that's very harsh and uncalled for. that wasn't ebdon's finest moment but still he is a former world champion and deserves respect.

Hahahahaa and you're a sloth, imagine
This is beyond hilarious. Kudos for posting this
I bet thats pure psychological gameplay from Ebdon. He knows Sullivan plays quick, so he makes him frustrated and may get overhand because of it.
He plays that slow against everyone.
adamchrome
I am pretty sure he did it super slow for a purpose
Randomnick123 I actually think Ebdon is so stuck in his intense prison of his mind that he lost awareness of his external etiquette
YOU DON'T SAY!!!
Randomnick123 Exactly. It was his only chance of beating Ronnie - mind games. Didn't succeed though most times.
Ah this is the reason why I have a lazy right eye. Thanks for keeping the left side of the screen entertaining.

Love coming back over and over again to see this video for a chuckle
Yeah Ronnie got 16 in the same time that Peter ebdon rubbed his eye.

great comment
when ebdon cued the pink what 19 times? ronnie played 2 pots hahaha
playstationgamer108 yes
Playing against Ebdon, you should have a ringbell in your hotel room when he has finished his hit..
watching this while going thru the comments. lmao funniest shit.

I feel the Ref should of stepped in as soon as colour television was invented.
I once recorded Peter Ebdon making a century on my old VHS. It took a 5 pack of 240 minute blank videos using long play.
crowd cheering at 5:05, is it because of Ronnie's maximum or because Ebdon has missed and will finally leave the table? :D
