Masters 2010 - Final Discussion!

Risky (and stupid) shot anyway...

Had he cut the green the way he wanted to, he would be on the brown brilliantly, so, quite risky, true, but quite playable for me at such stage of a match..

Especially if the player is Ronnie who gets bored easily and his opponent is Selby, whom Ronnie declared as negative( I definitely agree with Ronnie here ), so, it makes sense..

[Looki]

He tried to cover it with the brown if he missed, but overhit it

As many have said already im still in disbelief that he attempted the pot on THAT green. A good safety shot on it and with a lead he had of about 15 points the Masters wouldve been his. It actually defies belief he went for it. Im pretty disappointed he decided to pot it.

Interesting post-match interview by Ronnie on the WSA site, he definaltely doesn't enjoy losing.

Hopefully with that comment we still can see Ronnie's A game this year onward. Carefull guys...Ronnie is back to DEMOLISH them...come on Ron...!!!

[Mr P]

Getin! I knew you could do it Mark, well done mate.

At the interview with John Parrott at the end, Ronnie appeared not to care much, and I think that gives the game of snooker and him a very bad look.

Nevertheless, well done Mark!

Looks like Selby is the new Hunter, given his exceptional record in the Masters and this comeback. Ronnie kinda threw it away with that green and that bad break-off in the decider, but Selby still had to do well to finish it.

A great final. All 19 frames were filled. Congrats Selby...!!!

2010 will be a very good start for both players. Selby became the first player seal the title for this year and he is the man to watch in the next event, Welsh Open. Meanwhile Ronnie still proving his fans that he still can grab some titles this year, perhaps. As a semifinalst in UK champ and being a runner up in the Masters should boost his perfomance.

If anything goes right, another ROS-Selby battle in the Welsh Open semi. Let's wait and see...

Cheers.

lol I can see what he means, say you need all the reds with blacks to tie, all the reds are on cushions except one, and the black is sitting in baulk where it can't be potted, you'd be pretty unlikely to win the frame. You arn't allwoed to concede then, but you could pot the last red, the play the blue (snookers are now required) and then legally concede after that... Some players just want to get on with the next frame while they are flowing, but it does seem strange not to play for them in the final.

Ronnie said in one of the short bbc interviews that the rule he'd like to change in snooker was being able to concede when snookers are not even required. He just doesn't like playing for them much it seems.

But then he'd probably like to be able to concede at anytime at all

He did something similar against Higgins in the UK. I guess that's just the way he is. You'd need to drag Peter Ebdon away from the table when he only needs a couple of snookers, but some players just don't want to prolong that frustration when they know deep down that the match is lost.

[El Siete]

Great final, indeed.

I couldn't believe Ronnie decided on cuting that green... but the most important is that Mark didn't miss his chance and won the match, nice revenge Mark!
