Seen them all live playing. Did they call Thorburn the "grinder"? Loved watching him and some of the other great names from the past.. Reardon, Spencer, Mountjoy, Perry Man's from South Africa, Graham Miles, Griffiths, Fred Davies, John pullman even Virgo and Jim Meadowcroft my local snooker hero. Missed many I know but I'm a bit pissed right now to remember any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Things not looking so good for Ronnie against Selby but you never know. He is trailing 8 - 11 as from now but in a 33 frame match everything could change. Some great snooker from both giants of the game whoever wins. Look forward to the rest of the match Will we see a live audience for the final? It is possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boydeste Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Ronnie is still not firing on all cylinders, but I feel for him as he has had bad luck on 3 occasions which potentially cost him the frames. The score should be equal really. Hopefully tonight he won't get so many bad contacts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Two fantastic matches in the Semis. Ronnie just pipped it in the end Two of the best matches I have ever seen Wilson v O'Sullivan final I fancy Ronnie for the title 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the interviews afterwards? Ronnie wouldn't shut up about finding a cue action and Selby felt Ronnie disrespected him by smashing the balls when he was in a snooker. Can't wait for the final and like you, I think Ronnie will win it, possibly relatively easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie is perfectly in his rights to have a lash at any time. He had his chance to clear at the end but screwed it up. Only himself to blame. Great drama though! If Wilson can get off to a decent start and get a rub or two early then we have a match on, if Ronnie gets going and freezes him out then it will be a runaway. I think Ronnie will win either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great drama and agree that it's up to Ronnie how he plays it. I often think about what a nightmare it would be if Ronnie did have a lash when in a snooker and smashed all the balls everywhere and the ref having to replace them. Nightmare.

Fortunately he got 2 back at the end of the session, but as Hendry has said, Ronnie is there for the taking if Kieron plays it right. Won't take a lot to get Ronnie really frustrated.
