Incredible semi. How many hit and hope shots did O'Sullivan have before turning on the magic?0
-
Get in ronnie!!!!! How anyone can want that boring dour melt Selby to win is astonishing2
-
Paulie - out of interest seeing as you're such a big snooker fan and he's probably the best player ever, why do you dislike O'Sullivan so much?0
-
Four or five. But each time there was a legitimate shot on, there was no need for the hit and hope. I'm not sure I've ever seen him do that before. He played one in the last as well and got away with it.Stig said:Incredible semi. How many hit and hope shots did O'Sullivan have before turning on the magic?0 -
Selby very pissed off with Ronnie. Said he was disrespectful and was playing mind games. Selby gone down in my estimations1

As I have said before Ronnie is extremely disrespectful to other players had a terrible attitude and acts like he doesn't care, when there are loads of people out there who would kill to have half an ounce of the talent he has.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Paulie - out of interest seeing as you're such a big snooker fan and he's probably the best player ever, why do you dislike O'Sullivan so much?
I just cant stand the guy he is to up himself1 -

He went for every shot tonight, wasnt bothered about playing safe, and didn't really look like he cared for about 5 frames1 -

He got away with it so much.
4/5 times he went for stupid shots missed and the balls ran safe, all it would have taken is one of those times a red left on and it would have been a different story0 -
I was swearing at him when he played those shots on the pink in frame 30. World semi final 14-15 down and playing shots like that. Crazy.paulie8290 said:

But he only played one reckless shot in the last 3 frames.0 -

Hope Wilson wins, he won't though.

I don't think Selby minded too much when Ronnie was throwing away frames to Selby, Selby was probably delighted as he must have thought Ronnie had checked out.
Also, Selby was being intentionally very slow at times, he also played on for 25 minutes needing 3 snookers he was bever going to get. He is no saint either1 -
What a couple of semi finals!
Vintage O'Sullivan. Out of this world brilliance to shots a novice wouldn't play and back again.
Don't particularly like how he comes across as an individual in interview but on the table he'scompelling viewing if interested even partly.
Selby is a 21st Century Thorburn 'The Grinder' they called him if memory serves me right yet he came out of that match with Ronnie shellshocked.
Compare and contrast his ungracious interview with that of Mc Gill who also lost narrowly.
I think we have a real final on our hands. Wilson looks the real deal and who knows which Ronnie will turn up?1 -
I only watched the deciding frame but listened to Ronnie's interview afterwards. Very revealing & I'd advise you to listen to it if you didnt catch it at the time.paulie8290 said:

Basically said his cue action had gone & was like a golfer who kept driving into the rough & having to get the ball back in play anyway he could. Even said that at 16-14 he decided to stand closer to the table (resting his left hip against the table more). Never heard the like before. Golfers are always blaming their swing or putting stroke......not heard a snooker player blame their action before.
I love Ronnie O'Sullivan. So down to earth & a natural talent. Looks like he might have the "yips" atm though.2 -
if only Ronnie had a cue action

You can see over the last week or so he's had to adjust his game because he's struggling. It's like watching a football team playing lots of short passes through the middle because their crossing is ineffectivegolfaddick said:

Even with the adjustments he's making I'd much rather watch the GOAT than Selby in the final. Not sure if anyone's posted this up before but it sums up the 2 players

Selby basically called O'S a cheat after the game, accusing him of moving into his (Selby's) eyeline and generally doing his best to put him off some shots, No TV evidence I think.
Also accused him of disrespect. It seems the 'etiquette' in snooker is to attempt to escape from snookers in a 'traditional' manner and not just slam balls everywhere. It depends on individuals to agree with this or not. As has been said O'S is an absolute rotter (to put it politely) but is so talented that he feels able to take the piss and act as he wants. Last point, what is the drug testing regime in snooker ?0 -

A player with the yips doesnt make the final and make 11 centuries on the way0 -
nice to hear live applause at a sporting venue1

Poor final so far. Basically Ronnie not playing well is better than Kyren Wilson not playing well.
Nerves from the latter I think.0 -

Ronnie 6-2 up. Hendry thinks the match is already over. I hope he's wrong but we'll see

Weird end to that frame. Is he all the ticket?0

Not watched much this year, caught a game where there was no crowd but seems there's a lot in for the final. Surprised to see no masks and all sitting next to each other.0
