  1. Cracking match, but cant ignore the antics of the crowd. Likely one of the biggest reasons pool as a spectacle will never take off. You can take the men from the pub…but not the pub from the men. Arseholes

  2. At least now there is some context behind why Ali's fans threw the bottle, They felt Storry's fans put Ali off on his last yellow. Shout all you want, but throwing a bottle is crazy!

  3. Unfortunately thats the filth and scum thats on the pool scene. Seen a game in Ireland lately and some of vile comments were disgusting. It's a scene full of mouthy arseholes. Back to the match both Ali and Storry were superb such a pity it ended the way it did.

  4. Digraceful finish to a great match, obv most people had seen the ending well before the full match was released, guess that is the problem with money matches. IMHO balls should have been reset and easy black potted.

  5. the crowd are a joke, just fucking grow up. yeah theres tonnes of money on it, but so cheap winning your backing by putting someone off 🙄 just sends pool backwards.
    Its awesome that the pots are this big now but crowd always ruin it

  6. great match and some very insightful discussions on the break. shame about the end, but im some ways it has made this match all the more memorable.

  7. D'où vient l'argent qu'ils gagnent les 180000 livres?
    Si quelqu'un connaît la réponse à cette question, merci beaucoup

  8. Gonna need real security for the big matches with partisan fans, such a shame, it was a very exciting match, but definately not one for parents to encourage their kids to go down the local pool club, if you can't do the time, keep your dough in your pocket and gamble elsewhere, God knows how many matches you have lost for your player, who would fancy that reception if you are about to win, great match ruined by brain dead thuggery.

  9. How do they get so much money together, i presume they must have money to burn these people…The barracking those Ali fans were giving,it was like playing in a sunday league match with a load of football idiots a couple of decades ago..thought this idiocy d had died out of the game.

  10. I've had some situations in pool and one or two "words" but the behaviour of the crod towards the end of this match was absolutely disgusting.

  11. Should have been a historic moment in British pool,there you go,,well done mate👏

  12. Disappointing ending after such a close match. I suppose that's the risks of a crowd all with their money on. If the pot had reached 200k then George Clooney and Brad Pitt would have put together a crew and robbed the place.

  13. They should beat the dog s*** out of whoever threw that drink. That's one of the lowest most bad sport things to do in this game. I hope that individual remains cursed for the rest of their life only to suffer a horrible and untimely death.

  14. Poor standard of 8 ball. Neither of them would have much chance on the IPA circuit! That said at least they had the confidence to play a high-value match…….good on you both:-)

  15. This is the reason I hate money matches. Full of drunken scum bags behaving like idiots. Makes a mockery of the game and the reason pool will never be taken seriously.

  16. Love that they are playing for R 4 000 000. ( Enough to but a very posh 6 bedroom house) and the crowd is publike. I would only play in silence as in championships. That money aint no joke

  17. Fitting that the production company is called Beer Productions and some dumbass drunk threw a beer on the table on the last shot of the match. Great match though. Doesn't get any closer than that.

  18. thanks for the commentary. honestly need to create much bigger distance between players and fans in future imo. way too much scope for something to go wrong.

    also they need to find new songs holy sh*t absolute simpletons
