Now gonna watch the Ding match from Round 2

It wasn't just that he missed: it was that he missed while playing the shot in a way that was completely unnecessary and that greatly increased the chance of missing. Why did he play it that way...?

Deadweight would have been the way to go if it was along a cushion or something. Plus I’m sure Ronnie’s said he prefers to punch balls in than roll them in so it makes sense he’d play it the way he felt more comfortable. The problem was playing for the black as Shane says.

Missed pink didn't change much, Selby had done all the damage in the painful 3rd session and would still win the match regardless.

Disagree. yeah he missed a big chance to lead bigger than 10-7 but the last frame of a close session can be a momentum changer just Selby proved it by winning the last two frames in the first session. Ronnie was on his way to win 2 frames in a row after losing 6 frames in a row. Would have felt like the momentum is back to Ronnie
Just like this year, losing the last two frames of the 3rd session hurt Selby big time.

His fans are still hurting more like. He's probably forgotten about it. And yet, here we are, bellyaching about it, even though he just won his 6th.

Beating Selby the way he did was the best possible way to forget about it.

I'd be surprised if Ronnie cared about it that much even before.

Do you think Hendry didn’t care about 1997?
I’m sure he got over it better than many of his fans but any player with a winning mentality would be distraught to lose in a world final, with the possible exceptions of instances like Higgins last year.
