Even under pressure i think the pots missed and shots he took on wasnt right.. who else thought this-- maybe a few bookies had a lot of bets on trump to win 5-4 lol

I think this pure rubbish. A score of 5-4 would be extremely hard to fix unless both players were involved. You can control what you lose, not what your opponent wins. Even at a score of 5-2 that was Fransisco downfall ...Originally Posted by GazEddy View Post -
wot was it 13 chances for trump to win the match - come on lol - its usually 1,2,3 maybe 4 13!!!.
the selection of shots was different to ronnie's normal game - the misses was crazy- was either he didnt want to win - or totally couldnt be bothered. the misses from trump was because its his first major match and prob biggest game of his pro carreer - wot was ronnies excuse.Comment

Ronnie made no excuses. Just said he couldn't get his game going at all. It's not the first time and won't be the last. BTW if there had been any strange betting patterns we no doubt would know by now. And if there weren't what's the point of fixing a match? It's just absurd.Originally Posted by GazEddy View Post
May I remind you that the match fixing suspicions around Ebdon-Liang match were triggered by the betting monitoring authorities and the bookies, not the match itself?Comment

Someone tell Ronnie that he's fully expected to win every match from now until I get to take my grandchildren to the playground (I am not a mother yet), make 6 centuries in 5 frames, have a 95% long pot success rate, never pot a red with his blue when splitting, never go in-off, always find the baulk cushion, always hide the white perfectly behind the yellow with all the reds spread, always make the best out of the slimmest chance presented to him, never lose when leading, never allow to be led by more than one frame or else he'll be suspected of foul play.
Blatant exaggeration, my message here. As intended.
Talk about extra-pressure in the other thread in The Lounge.

i disagree its easier to fix a 5-4 because you can say you put in the effort to win...where a 5-0 against wenbo could be seen as obvious...Originally Posted by Monique View Post
but come on Ronnie the same as Ebdon wouldnt get involved with that......
but now that rubish from bookies has come in to the ebdon match every incident where players are given chance after chance will be looked at and yesterday Ronnie was pathetic in the chances he left Judd but they were legitamate chances because he was out of Form....Comment

My only grumble in the match was Ronnie not rolling to the two reds, the iffy red to the middle is one he would have got 9 times out of 10, but not that time. You cant win them all, and any suggestion of a fix is plain ridiculous not to mention in poor taste.Comment

Yes Wild it's less obvious but you have to win those 4 frames. Which is not entirely under your control.Originally Posted by wildJONESEYE View Post Your opponent has a say in this. So unless both players are involved the only score you can be 100% sure to achieve is to be whitewashed.
BTW, again in the Ebdon vs Liang case it's not the result that raised suspicions, it's the abnormal betting patterns.Comment

i personaly think there as been match fixing in snookers smaller events for quite sometime. my friend simon morris an ex pro played dennis talyor in either the chinese or thai open about 91/92 and he personaly told me that he was asked by numerous people at the event to throw the game.Comment
