    Luck was with Ronny there tbh...a few absolute fluke shots on that last frame where he still managed to get the ball safe.

    Fair play.

    Think that was Selby’s emotion speaking there. Probably should’ve gave him a bit of time to calm down.

    Ronnie was disrespectful in the way he played the ball when he was snookered on a few occassions. And whenever Selby was on the table Ronnie stood up or was playing with his cue - distracting Selby. Not sure exactly what was said word for word but something to that effect.

    Think he was rite about the snooker.
    A couple of times he seem to just hit and hope.

    I would have like to hear the lads commenting on the games to have said it but they seem to think o sullivan is a genius and anythng he does is brillant.

    Parrot did say it was disrespectful and that it was intersting to hear those comments. I didn't think much of it at the time, I watched Ronnie walking to the table and thought on two occassions that there was no way he was going to get out of it - but did. Likewise though, at the start of the final session Ronnie put Selby in behind a Yellow and he got out of it and two shots later turned the tables on O'Sullivan with exactly the same snooker.

    A lot of people are starting to get * off with Ronnie now. Trump has had a go at him, Williams and now Selby.

    How can you possibly decry ‘hit and hopes’ as disrespectful when the guy won the match?

    It’s like poker players playing with amateurs that beat them. Tough *, it’s a game and you lost - you can’t berate someone for beating you for not conforming to the manufactured parameters you’ve built.

    Selby deserves all he gets, greeting faced *. 'The jester from Leicester' , aye right. If he wants to take 5 mins hitting every shot and try to suffocate the game, Ronnie is well within his rights to hit the ball as hard as he likes.
    Crying because he didn't try to get out the snooker the way that suits Selby, * off.

    I would certainly hope so but I don’t know if he has it in him to dedicate his life to anything right now.

    The best frame of snooker you will ever see. McGill can hold his head high. Brilliant to watch. Hope the boy Wilson beats Ronnie now. Ronnie is great to watch but he needs took down a peg or two for his cunty comments.

    Started watching snooker in 2016, didn’t take me long to realise Ronnie was my fave player.

    Would love the opportunity to see him win the big one in real time, but I would be happy for Kyren if he pulled it off.

    Ronnie in full flow is great and makes it look so easy. I've went from actually laughing at and enjoying his arrogance to now just thinking he's a *. Hopefully he gets *.
