Even on qualifying rounds there should be footage to see where the colours are/were

“Better not touch it” Jimmy says to the young lad at 1:25. I’ve watched Jimmy since the early 80’s and idolised him in truth. He was and is loved because at heart he is a good egg.

With the technology we have now, this is ridiculous

[koll]

Well done Jimmy. Keep going. Would love to see you at Sheffield where you belong. Have faith, have confidence, you can do it.

No video replay but someone has a smartphone and could take a frickin picture before the escape attempt

[Spchl]

I love this sport - no other sport would you have the 2 players competing come together for no other reason than sportsmanship. Anton was quick to say “these aren’t set up correctly” rather than take advantage. Just shows there’s no pride in winning as a cheater

[Krzysztof_Jeske]

Jimmy is still on fire! 🔥 It's fantastic to watch 😃 Great job Jimmy, congratulations on win 😄

[JamesBrandon-gz]

Shows once again that the game needs a dedicated top view screen to be able to relocate the balls back to the correct positions. They were set back up a good few inches (wrongly) to the right of the original position.

[Seedy]

I scrolled back and forth on the video to compare the before/after position of the balls. They're not even within one ball's width of where they were on the first shot. Which, as anyone who's played pool/snooker knows, is absolutely miles out.

Well done jimmy from Dave Io Reilly Limerick your a legend & hope u go much further see u soon when you come over with Neil for exhibitions!

[tetra]

Kazakov had a 36 second average shot time and just 2 breaks over 50, Jimmy shouldn't have even let it get to a decider and will need to improve for the next round of qualifying

[MrMagic]

Checking 400x how to finish on the yellow and still fucked it up omg

[neilt]

Dear organiser, video recording for better snooker shots replacements of ball is nessesary even on qualifying round, especially when the referee is not good in what they are doing. Every single shots and snooker decision make a big difference on the game, come on man.

[DJGillman]

Cracking win jimmy! After being 7-4 down

[kelvinjones]

Well done Jimmy. Why Anton refused the yellow was surprising.

[linodianetti]

Wouldnt it be something if this was the year he finally won world title?

[NickPenlee]

Anton bottled it on the final yellow; he should have gone for broke. Jimmy instead took on a more difficult yellow and green to secure the match win. I don't anticipate Jimmy advancing too far, to be honest, but he did well here against a much younger opponent. Good on you Jim!

[shanomac]

Referee needs to get a clue. He had mo idea where the balls were supposed to get put back. I saw the same thing on the 3rd frame earlier when Jimmy lost on the 3 foul rule. Guy put the balls back in a different spot everytime. They should have the video replay to help them out.

[marblefan]

Just found your channel never really watched snooker before but i enjoyed it thanks

[Atlantianreborn]

Cannot believe Anton refused that yellow into the middle. The top players do not refuse those shots. Yes he is young but it is down to confidence. Then again Jimmy should have won 10-2 at the worst.
