Still, makes me think how it's okay when Ronnie does it, but not Selby.

Your welcome Andre.


How about you with Ronnie?.

Ronnie got me into snooker to be fair when I started watching in 2005, then of course I started liking other players and appreciating their games but Ronnie was the first that made me love this sport. I'm only 21 though so my real interest only started in 2005/2006.

Ricky startting to look better now.

Mind you he couldn't be much worse after that sitter he missed.

ROS a lot better at thin shot to nothings than straighter long reds

2-0.

Hope Ricky gets at least one frame.

Turning down a very difficult shot that garantees no position is not playing negative. And its not something new for Ronnie. Ronnie has always been a great safety player when the time is right. He turns down one pot and you compare him to Selby ffs. Lol
Playing negative is turning down shots that a pro should take on, and try to make frames go scrappy. Like Selby does.
Now stop comparing Ronnie to Selby and just watch Ronnie play now, you might learn something about positional play, shot selection and break building.

Yeah that's strange. Especially if he has to stun them he's vulnerable.

Skullman wrote:ROS a lot better at thin shot to nothings than straighter long reds

In straight long reds he tends to cue across them, a lot better in thin ones as you say.

Selby's not that negative.

A wrong view mostly Ronnie fans have about Selby, he can be at times negative but there are much more negative players than Selby, Carter a perfect example.

Funny how Ricky did better against Ronnie when he was younger and less experienced.

Skullman never said that Ronnie was negative

3-0 ROS win a ton

Agreed....haters will be haters

And above all his only win in a Final of Shanghai masters as you say, very strange but there you go.

According to Thorne, Hendry was the best player in ALL the 2000s.

This will end 4-0 or 4-1

Stephen Maguire 1-1 Joel Walker
Ricky Walden 0-3 Ronnie O'Sullivan

Yeah but he also took Ronnie to a decider in the UK, which is a lot closer than the matches he's played against Ronnie more recently.

Brilliant century by The Rocket. That's the kind of snooker I like to watch. Walden might get whitewashed again..

Must be horrible for Ronnie 'dislikers' to hear the commentators jizz over him as he demolishes opponents.

edit: the filters on here smh

3-1

Good break by Walden.

Being honest, I'd rather not have hear middle aged men jizz over anything.

Ricky pulls one back with a good 80 break.

At least Ricky won't get whitewashed this time.

Expect Ronnie to win the next.

Meanwhile Walker going well v Mags, an upset on the cards?

Stephen Maguire 1-2 Joel Walker
Ricky Walden 1-3 Ronnie O'Sullivan
