    He's freed up the black straight away. He doesn't want long drawn out safety.

    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

    That's fair.

    I think the difference is I don't think Ronnie goes out to play a game to put off his opponent. I feel Selby does.

    Ronnie can definitely focus now, for just the 1 frame. Very evident thus far.
    Selby, again taking his sweet time. Worse than Ronnie's cavalier shenanigans imo.

    Don't think he does just his style. Some of the safety Selby has played has been unbelievable. Wondering how he found the angles and pace. Gets same reaction from me as a great Ronnie pot.

    Lovely cueing there by Ronnie. He missed a lot of similar pots earlier in this game cueing across them

    Some shots you take your time over. I fully agree with that. He is a slow player and there isn't a lot wrong with that. But I feel that he purposely takes his time over a lot of very obvious shots. Everyone knows what shot he's going to play, yet he still takes 2 minutes to play the shot. That puts people off and gives people a bad opinion of him.

    He is a class player. Some of his shots are unbelievable. I'm not sure he cares about people's opinion as his way clearly works for him.
