It's more aimed at Ronnie fans who panic every time he loses the coin toss than anything else.

One thing that hasn't been good for Ronnie this season is his break-building.
He's only 6th in century rate (whereas he's usually in the top 3), and he's only 5th in 50+ break rate (whereas he's usually #1).
His 50+ break rate this season is the lowest it has been since 2005-6...

Roland and Skullman are bad, and they should feel bad.

Roland started this forum and Skull used to be a mod.

I didn't particularly like Roland got to be honest, but I always liked Skullman.
He was a fair member here, but he left due to university work and also couldn't agree the way the Forum was heading at the time. I don't think he ever really meant Ronnie was starting to decline, whereas Roland you just knew he fully believed the man was past it, and look at it now, 23 titles won since then hahahaha

WTF? Why is he talking about Wild when he was the one who said Ronnie was in decline?

Looks like it!
Someone should screenshot his quote from the opening post and post it up to his Twitter comment…

The nerve of Roland blaming Wild when he was the one who called it! He was always a lovely lady like that.

In SF's defence he doesn't 'call decline', he's starting a conversation.
Also, Ronnie probably did decline for a few years. The way he's managed to turn it around a play brilliantly as well as grind out wins is even more remarkable.
