Good morning all,shine n rise!.
I watched the match yesterday live up until the MSI and i,ve just watched the rest on youtube.
I have to say,i was a bit cheesed off when King feathered the white,especially as he was in a good position to keep the break he was on going and was in good nick to be able to win the frame and level the scores 2-2 goin into the MSI.
When Ronnie then went on to snatch the frame and go 3-1 up,i like probably most,thought,it,s over,Ronnies won this match.
When i got up this morning,i checked the scores and jumped for joy,it did,nt half wake me up,if King had o lost,i certainly would,nt of bovered to watch it.
I have to say,King looked amazingly relaxed,comfy,even when he went 4-1 down,you,d of thought that he was the one who was leadin 4-1,Ronnie looked like he was gonna be attacked by Michael Myers,well,ok,maybe he did,nt look that scared/shell-shocked,but you know what i mean.
I could,nt believe my eyes when Ronnie played on needin 3,then even 4 snookers,throughout the match he played more of the % game,he certainly was,nt in a full,Messi,attackin mode as he turned down the odd pot/long pot,he normaly would o gone for,he actually turned into a Selby,
What a decider!,King needed about 5,maybe even 6 chances to get over the line,Ronnie had his fare share himself,and what about a pink he missed when the scoreline was 26-22 in his favour!,with the last 5 reds bein in a nice position,boy,what a chance he blew there,talk about bottling a match winnin chance.
Crackin stuff from King,even when he was 4-1 down,did,nt give up,still looked confident,relaxed,now maybe thats a key formula,a good weapon to throw at Ronnie,show him that your confident,relaxed and he,ll crumble.
Well done Mark King!,thanks for beating Ron,you,ve made my day,in fact my week.
