Greb147 6,809 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 What happened then, did Ronnie turn it on or did Selby fall off? Some might disagree but Selby is tactically the best player I've ever seen, when he has Ronnie under the cosh it's normally game over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ronnie changed his attitude and powered through, few frames earlier he looked like he was on the ropes. Reckon he'll destroy KW now. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That escape he played at the end to snooker Selby was unreal. I hope he does win it now cos it will f**k his head up big time if he loses this now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,108 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Anyone who says snooker is boring is probably right, if you're not into the technicalities of it, but there's nothing boring about O'Sullivan, wether he's playing or being interviewed ! He messed with Selby's head and wrecked him ! Selby sounded like a spoilt kid when he was interviewed, saying O'Sullivan was " disrespectful ". I know you can't compare snooker to boxing, but it looked awfully like "dope on the rope" tactics to me ! LOL ! Just got the drinks and snacks in for two days of entertainment, who knows what Ronnie will do next ? Cheers. Edited August 15, 2020 by chartpolski 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair when you're smashing the balls after getting snookered you're relying on plain old luck. He did an amazing escape mind at the end and put a snooker on Selby which gave him the chance to make that good pot to win the match.

cragman 2,763 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 The Wilson v magill semi, classic my arse. It confirmed what O’Sullivan said earlier this week, there’s some crap players bubbling below the top guys. Poor reaction from Selby after Ronnie beat him 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In a way if he had fluked his shots after smashing them I kinda agree with him but to me that's a sign of him breaking, Selby should have capitalised but he couldn't. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you hear his reasoning for smashing the balls out of a snooker ? He reckons giving away a few points by doing that is better than giving away 30-40 points trying to get out of a snooker that he thinks he can't do. Sounds a bit implausable to me, when he later got out of snookers that looked above world class, but who knows with O'Sulivan ? I still think he was messing with Selby's head ! Point is, I wouldn't rearrange my schedule to watch Selby, but I would for O'Sullivan. Cheers. Edited August 15, 2020 by chartpolski Quote Link to post Share on other sites
