2020 World Snooker Championship

Wildlife Actor

No way Ronnie holds it together for 2 frames

Joe_ Public

Doubt he'll win 2 more frames with the kamikazee stuff but would certainly cap one of the great days of snooker if he did.

What a red !

Ronnie

Insane snooker from Ronnie

Ficheall

If Ronnie had the temperament he'd be invincible..

Muppet Man

I wonder if that’s pissed Ronnie off so much that he’s decided to get pay back on Selby by beating him!

This nonsense about Selby boring Ronnie...

Crap. Selby played all aspects of game..won fair and square..

Few tricky and difficult issues and Ronnie can’t handle it. It’s that simple..

It’s fooking snooker.....not pool!

Good mind games from Selby to do that. It worked for that frame

Sorry your right that one was a bit OTT but someone of Ronnie's experience/class shouldn't be that easy to get at

Chalk McHugh

Embarrasingly good.

Ridiculous.. just flying around... nearly hitting them on the move

zuutroy

Can't handle this.

Chalk McHugh

My nerves are shredded.

Chuck Norris is wearing his Ronnie boxers :pac:

sligeach

O'Sullivan a bit lucky there.

Arthur Daley

I don't want this day of snooker to end.

Been years since I've enjoyed a day of sport so much.

AllForIt

Wow, Ronnie deserved that bit of luck there leaving a red over the centre pocket.

I don't know. There's playing the spirit of the game as well. Deliberately slowing the game down to put your opponent off seems against it to me.

I'm not a Ronnie fan but Selby just rubs me up the wrong way. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Chalk McHugh

DECIDER!!!!!!

taytobreath

Final frame decider....omg

ThewhiteJesus

Ronnie is an old man in modern snooker times this is crazy

testtech05

Nice safety by Ronnie there after the 71 break. Shows he well able to do it when he wants haha

So it’s going to be another final frame decider....I can’t see this one taking an hour!

Andrew00

You have to have Ronnie as huge fav now

Muppet Man

COME ON RONNIE!!!!

Some night of snooker

Don't think so, the best I ever saw was years ago, Tony Jones, might have been playing James Wattana. I can't recall the exact score, but he was at least 70 behind, and won by a point. He needed a snooker, it may have been 75-0, a 4 point snooker, followed by a 72 clearance with all blacks and reds. The clearance was definitely all reds and blacks to win by 1. Wattana, I think scored 70, may have been 75. Never seen 83 lose a frame before, but then again, I've never seen a frame like that one, it was crazy.

Just checked this, was the first round in 1993. The story was embillished a bit by my failing memory. It was actually a lot simpler. Wattana 71-0 up, 72 left, Jones got in and cleared the lot, but Wattana won 10-5

henke

We don't want any scrappy safety in this decider. He needs to get in on the balls. Fingers crossed. You know he is going to take anything on and that's the danger.

ThewhiteJesus

Shame there’s no crowd for this, gripping

Mysterypunter

Another decider, another fantastic match

testtech05

Surely he won't just smash any potential tricky shots in this frame at least I hope not would love to see him get to the final again playing like this!

zuutroy

There will be no safety.

Chalk McHugh

Come on Ronnie one more frame please!!

gormdubhgorm

Ronnie has morphed from "I want to go home not bovvered really 2020 Ronnie", to 1993 Ronnie potting everything.

lawrencesummers

I wouldn’t rule out a 147 here.

G'wan the Rocket, put away that dour mug.

Exclamation Marc

What a day of snooker.

Clareman

Wow a safety from Ronnie

That works both ways
Deliberately speeding it up by smashing balls around which puts your opponent off?

It’s a game of snooker
Once you don’t break the rules all is fair

DelBoy Trotter

First shot in the decider and Ronnie actually plays a safety!
