Well it is the final mate, i would be too scared to play any shot lol

It is not that...just Selbys antiques.....

[stephenm2682]

The plant fair enough, but Ronnie saw him eying it up, yet left him a shot at it!
And he needs to improve his safety play cause its shocking

[jrc750]

Selby again with his old stuff....checking position after position when the shot is more than obvious....

I am not watching, stuck at work, but from you've just said, it makes perfect sense to play the cue ball safe if the plant was not certain?

Well not really because there is every chance the red jaws in the pocket and leaves you opponent an easy starter. If you are going to commit to a plant ensure you get on a colour, otherwise you may just as well play a safety instead.

[Ronnie's tip]

Is it me or is Ronnie playing a bit too safe,it looks like he is trying to beat selby at his own game rather than playing his own.

Earlier on maybe. Today he's been fine. In fact he was offensive in the first frame. Went into the pack in the first frame and got nothing and the same just happened in this one.

But there was definitely a period where Selby dragged him down into a scrappy match.

That plant there from Selby is where I don't understand the logic of his game. He plays a risky plant, probably a 7/10 chance of potting it and yet doesn't commit to getting on a colour as he played the white near the baulk cushion.

This is why I cannot like his style of play, its negative to the extreme.

This is exactly what I think, if he doesn't start playing like his usual self Selby could possibly take over the lead, and from there it will only get worst because Ronnie will "wanna go home"

Another lenghty frame on cards already.

I thought he'd lose to Perry once he was 10-7 (?) down and was concerned when Murphy should have gone 3-0 up, but aside from that ROS has been relatively safe, to me at least. Apologies, anyway.

Definitely my misinterpretation, then!

[Ronnie's tip]

ROS has definitely not had luck going into packs.

The issue is I don't remember you ever thinking he'll win. Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, people are allowed to think however they wish to, of course. It just sounded like jinxing gibberish, so, I was irritated. Don't mind me.

Ronnie's my favourite player....though that doesn't mean I think he'll win.

And for the 100th time we get to hear the story about why Ronnie breaks off left handed......

I think he can get more spin on left handed, not sure though
