Pink Ball's top matches: quarter-final, match four

I think most Ronniefans had been waiting for revenge since 2014, and,boy, its really happened. And then in the best possible way. A comeback,deciding frame, match being decided on a safety battle.
It hurt Selby big time as it was seen in the post match interview.

As a Ronniefan this is the greatest match of all time but as a Snookerfan I'd say its on third position. After Davis-Taylor 1985 and Hendry-White 1994.

Davis-Taylor was a garbage match.

Man that fart Taylor is a complete idiot and so annoying, I just pray they fuckin' get rid of him.

If Ronnie keeps playing like he has done these last couple of years, and he keeps himself motivated and keeps practising, I see no reason why he couldn't break Hendry's record of 7 world titles.

Ronnie is right, he needs to keep playing his attacking style of snooker. When he has an off day he might lose. But when he's in form he will blow everyone, including Selby, off the table. Like Alex Higgins, Ronnie has a passion for a certain type of snooker. Just like Alex did, Ronnie feels snooker should be played with panache! I'm glad he still feels that way. This doesn't mean they don't believe in playing safe, in fact, Alex was a brilliant safety player and so is Ronnie, it's just about putting yourself on the line and wanting to play a game that is great to watch and is exciting. Like I said, panache.
Ronnie played his B game throughout this world championship and he still got to the final. That's how easy it is for him. There is no other player who can destroy top 16 players and make it look so easy like Ronnie did in this year's Masters and Welsh. At 38 years of age he still goes for the long pots and still wants to open up the balls and play an attacking game against young guys like Robbo and Ding who can pot long pots like it's nothing and can clear the table in two minutes. It takes guts to play like Ronnie does!
