2016 UK Championship

[streamer45]

Well well well, this is definitely the dream final I was looking for. If we can avoid it being a one sided affair then we are in for a true classic

[Ronnington]

Lovely match tonight, some classy breaks, a few nervy misses, and great drama in the end. :smile:

It doesn't get much better than Selby against O'Sullivan, does it? Looking forward to it already. :smile:

Really enjoying your previews, Odrl. You were spot on with your last one! Accumulators must be a nice little side-earner for you surely

On a different topic, why is Willie Thorne known as 'Mr Maximum'? As far as I know, he's made one competitive 147... Is this some self-congratulatory statement or something?

[P.Smith]

Time to stir the pot a bit I think...

I can't wait for Selby to knock Ronnie and his fans down a peg or two today

So happy to see Ronnie still making these Triple Crown events finals. I just hope he wins the title tomorrow because it's time he gets a win.

Last session will be most crucial compared to first. 1st session I see Ronnie taking it but he has to contain Selby in the last session.

I think it would have dropped at that pace off the jaw had it not kicked, frame ball too I believe. First one sounded funny but think it was just a plain miss.

You could be right it might have dropped but it wasn't as crucial a ball as the huge kick that Fu got, he'd had won I'm sure without that. The first one was played at medium pace, he was striking down on the cue ball and the object ball wasn't far away, don't think it was a kick at all but a poor shot

[OmaMiesta]

Yeah there was a small kick, straightened it up a small amount but didn't look like he got the right angle either.

OK, first one maybe not but second one definitely kicked, look at his reaction, look how the ball reacted, you can even hear it

[VillaGuy]

So I looked it up, I was talking about these two situations:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crRLioutu6k - The shot is at about 03:10, I think the red jumped a little bit but perhaps bigger reason was poor cueing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS9oeARbWDY - The shot is about 00:37, this one definitely kicked

Hmm, not sure about either occasion, the first he played it at a pace you'd expect the cue ball to leave the table, the second looked like he hit it too thick.

[VillaGuy]

Glad youre one of the sensible and reasonable ones, cheers.

I'm not always but thanks

I think Ronnie also had two kicks in two seperate frames when he was between the balls, maybe I didn't see it very well, will try to find it on a Youtube replay later.

And you must admit it, playing that bad for his standard and then pulling out that (almost!) clearence in the decider... Top class!

[OmaMiesta]

It's just the way people are, part of our natural make-up, the witch hunting, tribal clan aggression. I'm sure when those making severe derogatory remarks step back and think about it pragmatically they realise they are being a bit severe with their opinions. In reality I bet those who respect ROS is nearly 100%, I mean how can you not?

Glad youre one of the sensible and reasonable ones, cheers.

[VillaGuy]

Just watched frame 10 through, Ronnie is a lucky lucky man. That kick was devastating, let alone the rountine green missed. The snooker gods were looking over him today
