For the rest of my life, whenever I am having a miserable day or week or when something bad has happened to me ... I will re-watch this video again from start to finish... THANK YOU RONNIE FOR WHAT YOU DO!!! :-)
came to rewatch this especially for this reason. Watching Ronnie stuff Selby especially after those difficult defeats (2014 WSC final...) is a wonderful antidepressant
Same here mate I love it I hate selby like cancer they hate each other ronnie was having sly digs at selby about the cue action because selby just try's to play boring to put ronnie with his slow game and selby has a horrible cue action hes all over the place
I’m a huge fan of Hendrys commentary. He only speaks when he has something to say and doesn’t feel the need to fill the air with talk and hyperboil (like Murphy) but the best thing is you see his eye for position, he sees something and then explains its benefit and why a player should go for a particular shot - it’s a fascinating insight into what made him such a dominant player and shows his mind is still as sharp as ever.
Ronnie has just won his 7th World title, but these are the best 3 frames I have ever watched. I, like most of the country watching this at the time, thought Ronnie was done for and he plays almost perfect snooker, when any mistake could have been his last. This was definitely the highlight of 2020, a year that will never be forgotten in history.
@@eyeshandyThat's right. When Ronnie starts smiling then plays left handed to make his 1,000th century. Clive Everton starts laughing. He's always been a good commentator, going right back to the 1980s.
It's so good. I watch every now and then. At first I was watching it 5 times a day for a couple of weeks. It was my favourite player, Ronnie, who I thought was beaten, against the player I dislike the most, the slow, boring Mark Selby, Ronnie just going for mad shots, I was a nervous wreck when I was watching it live, but when Ronnie came back and won, I couldn't believe what I was watching. The best 3 frames I've ever seen. Go Ronnie
I watched this ‘live’ - in the middle of packing for moving to my new flat - and went from resigned misery to euphoric ecstasy during the course of these 50 minutes. Breathtaking stuff, the likes of which make this worth watching over and over again.
These 3 frames illustrate the very essence of Ronnie O Sullivan. 3 absolute R amtuzzlors of pots to get in first in each frame. Flawless Fearless play from the Rocket under intense pressure. He played like it meant nothing when everything was on the line. Poetry in motion. Fair play Ronnie and a big Thanks to whoever uploaded this video.
In the context of what happened in the previous frame and the situation of the final, the 138 break seemed like Ronnie just accessed another snooker dimension. One of the most transfixing sporting moments I've ever witnessed.
Never forget this night. I was heartbroken. Even texting my brother that Ronnie had thrown the towel in. Then this happened. I'll never doubt him again.
I was watching with some friends we felt the same way, but the pure joy we felt when Ronnie won was just so uplifting, almost tearful, now he has his 7th world which he always wanted to equal Hendry, no matter what Ronnie says, he wanted 7 world's 🌎 now he has, also 8 UKs, 8 Masters 23 triple crowns, incredible. The Goat 🐐
This was amazing, watching it live, I was a nervous wreck, the way Ronnie was just playing mad shots. I'm sure Selby thought he was in the final, looking up at his missus, thinking, ' I'll see this out'. Ronnie's pot in the penultimate frame off the balk cushion was sublime, like Hendry said. It has to be the best 3 frames I've ever seen. The Rocket never fails to amaze. Go on Ronnie.
Watched this video so many times i remember every word the commentator will say. I remember watching this live and i was literally biting my fingernails. Even though it would be more pleasing to the eye if ronnie had won the decider in one visit, that safety exchange... And ronnie outclassing selby in his power zone, that was sublime.
The last safety exchange just showed Ronnie's genius, slowly squeezing life out of Mark's granite solid game. Selby coming up with great shots only to be outshined and outdone by Sullivan's effortless array of prowess. Mark barely sat down all pleased with his last shot only to witness and face next level brilliance. There's no other player that can do what Ronnie does ===> the speed, the grace....
Request to this channel, please do not delete this video. Let this stream it on youtube forever.. This is just a high quality snooker played by ronnie under the circumstances. Thank you for uploading it
this is such a huge moment in Snooker history actually. We knew that even though it was "only" the semi final the winner of this match would become World Champion. Wilson had no hope in the final. Ronnie had finally won his sixth World title after a 6 year dry spell and it was the catalyst to go on and win his 7th World title just two years later.
This is why snooker is a beautiful sport. The tension, the precision, the clutch plays. I remember watching this and will certainly never forget it, one of the most exciting moments I've ever seen
This is the stuff of legends. If you were watching this live on tv then you, like the rest of us were watching something so incredible, spine tingling, nerve wracking, when Ronnie won it was a mad mixture of feelings, relief, disbelief, pure joy, me and my friends were shouting Yes, Yes, he's won. I love to keep coming back to this, once a year maybe. If you didn't have the privilege of watching it as it unfolded, this is at least a good compensation for those of you who missed out. Watch this as this really is legendary. Ronnie O'Sullivan the GOAT 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I remember watching this live, him being down two frames, saying never count the GOAT out, don’t be surprised if he does something magic and he did this. Unbelievable
This is the best 45 minutes of snooker I've ever seen (watched about 20 times)especially against Mark Selby, in fact nearly as good as 5 centuries in best of 9 which included a 147 against Ali Carter❤😂
I tend to watch this regularly (mainly for Stephen Hendry’s commentary, as he is the best in the business), the one thing I am not sure if anyone has commented on is the pace Ronnie plays the last red, misses it, covered by the Blue/Yellow. Watched the last sessions live and couldn’t move. Epic.
Mark Selby did nothing wrong, played superb snooker. Ronnie knew his only hope was to give it 100% attack as he needed the last 3 frames to win. Reverse this and Selby would have ground it out and strangled the game to get over the line. This is why Ronnie is unique. Anyone who suffered the 2014 final will remember how Selby crushed the the spirit of all snooker purists. No one could ever wish for that kind of repressive formula again. Ronnie wasn`t going to suffer that again. His battle-hardened mindset knew what to do this time around. He beat Mr Granite with pure brilliance.
The last three frames of this match are the highlight of the entire 2020 World Championships. When I watch Federer I see fans waving flags reminding us we are seeing a genius at work, Ronnie is in that same mould; to add to Stephen Hendry’s Comment 49 minutes of pure O’ Sullivan genius. 20 Triple Crowns ( 6 World Tittles, 7 Masters Titles and 7 UK Titles, 37 Ranking Titles, 1000 plus centuries, 15 147 Maximums) as Hendry said in frame 32 ‘this is what he does’ a snooker G.O.A.T...Sheer Brilliance.
No man, I don’t think he will reach 8 world titles. My prediction is... that this blitz comeback from Ronnie - who seemed absolutely buried by Mark - will have the same impact on him as 2014 final in Sheffield had on Ronnie. It will take some time for mark to wake up from this nightmare. Because just showed him a completely different level of snooker, which is a serious blow to any player confidence
I am big fan of ronnie but i think when you have big big success in a short amount of time and you have all the records you lose the desire and the motivation to carry on . But if chendry challenged himself and put a goal ahead of himself he could'vd won more titles. Take a look now ,the majority of top 16 age is above 32.
Yeah, he stopped having that desire to win, that motivation that does pump yourself. He slowly started to lose against a lot of the pros and began to be even more desmotivated
He took real damage against ebdon in 2002. Ronnie did the finishing blow in 2004 and 2008 semis. Those were huge losses he never experienced before. Totally dominated by the rocket.
@@mr.krinkle1177 well, yeah. You can't really compare Ronnie to the guys that he was beating all the time to get into the finals in the 90's. Jimmy White was really the better one but not enough to win against him, got close just 1 time in the finals.
João Francisco Chanoca yeah I agree he played in weaker era. But he was a true pioneer nonetheless. Took the game and pushed it to today's modern attacking snooker that's why I have huge respect for him. But Ronnie took it another level. He is the ultimate snooker player and I laugh when Hendry fans say ”hendry is better” :))
roonie like can predict the future when he was try to "shake hand" used fist with selby couple years ago..now rules use elbow to shake hand..truly genius this man
Ronnie is showing everyone how to play without fear especially against someone like Selby. Who is a fantastic player but has the ability to stop you playing. If you lose you lose but play the game how you want to play it. What a player O'SULLIVAN is
I hate mark selby he’s anti snooker. Every time he plays Ronnie he grinds the game down to his level. Selby represents everything I hate in the game and Ronnie everything I love
Well,the most epic victories are always against formidable opponents.We wouldn't have that joy if he was playing against Craig Steadman,for example.The most satisfying results are when your hero is pushed to the limits and somehow he founds the winning line.Without formidable opponents there are no great victories.
An unbelievable win for Ronnie and the most exciting semi final I’ve ever seen. Selby played an unbelievable escape to re snooker Ronnie in that last frame. Probably the best snooker escape ever played, given the circumstances. Ronnie held out to win, I just couldn’t believe how he’d turned this match around. Revenge for 2014 finally came. Fantastic match.
Anyone noticed that O'Sullivan opened that last frame decider with his "weaker" left hand? What a boss move in that stage of a match... :D #greatestofalltimes #TheRocket
@@AmazinglyGayPhil I would say even higher. The touch he has and control with the left arm is just seriously epic... I guess he can win against anyone with only playing left-handed 😁
He has been breaking off left handed for years now. His left handed game was peak around 2009. There were matches when he’d alternate left/right/left/right on every shot for his own amusement
Real fan I've watched this about 200 times nearly had a heart attack lol swear I do be more nervous than Ronnie I love watching ever since he came on the scene greatest snooker player ever these 3 frames against Selby are historic I can't stand Selby saying Ronnie was disrespectful what about you in the final you ruined that final slowing up the game on purpose if there was a shot clock in the world championship Selby wouldent get past the 2nd round
EMANeleVenElevEn Dream for ever but never will happen this match change his future confident. He need to speed up his game and forget the past slow tactics then maybe chance.
@EMANeleVenElevEn 10 years ?!? Where did you come up with that crap ?!? He has 5 left at best. He's already 37 years old. The style he uses drains a man out, he will be finished after the age of 40.
This was just an incredible finish to this match. From 14-16 down Ronnie stepped up about 3 gears. He scored 276 points without reply before Mark scored 34 when Ronnie's break in the decider ended at 64. To make breaks of 138, 71 & 64 to win 17-16 from 14-16 down is incredible and only Ronnie O'Sullivan could have done that.
Ronnie is the king of Snooker. What an amazing stuff that was. His commitment when he’s potting, also the safety shots were amazing. Definitely incredible.
One of the most incredible sequence of final frames ever. When Selby was interviewed at the end, he described O'Sullivan's play as disrespectful, which somehow made the occasion even more enjoyable.
@@saggioepicureo His constant hit & hopes weren't in the spirit of snooker which still holds the standards of a gentlemen's game, the type of sport where it's customary to apologize if you fluke a shot. I get what he was saying but it was kind of a compliment actually, Ronnie knew he couldn't beat him in a slug fest so didn't even try. What can be a little disrespectful (imo) is when Ronnie plays snooker like this, then does nothing but whine in the post-match which he does ALOT. His absolute honesty is admirable but sometimes it gets a bit much, like he's taking the piss out of himself, his opponent & the game itself.
Ronnie is a supernatural force. .thanks ronnie from a still suffering Jimmy White fan. Alongside the genius flair you won the biggest matches as this video shows better than most. Superb stuff.
I watched this live. The Best 3 frames I’ve ever seen from a player. He gave Mark a chance and just thought “fuck it, if you’re not gonna take it I’ll pot everything in sight”. Incredible
Man, in the decider Ronnie looked like he would make the 3rd frame winning break in a row and Selby wont score a point. Balls were all in the open. Ronnie somehow landed straight on the black and had to force it in and got an unwanted contact on the reds. I expected to get the red into the green pocket. When he missed i feared the worst and a loss would have been so devastating considering how he played in the last 2 1/2 frames.
When he was straight on the black, why didn't he screw back and play for the red to the left middle? ruclips.net/video/IIo8S7W9YQI/видео.html Sorry I'm no expert on snooker
@@TofuTofu88 he was not exactly straight, he could have screwed back with reverse side but wont get far towards the 2 reds on the right of the pink. He should have been more careful when plays the red before that black to ensure nice position on the black but then again at that time reds are every where so no extra attention given iguess. I still think about this to be honest eventhough Ronnie already has the sixth world trophy in his cabinet at home...
If he were straight the screw back would have been the choice most definitely. He was left with a very slight angle leading the cue ball towards the black cushion. You can still screw back with reverse side there as has been mentioned but its not easy and you probably won't get up table much but perhaps in between the red's. The position is not a given... The top spin choice was great obviously. I think it's quite unlucky to land there with so many red's open. At the same time its a bad shot landing there. Might sound like I'm pretending to be an expert lol but no not at all it's just how I see it.
Selby clearly wanted it more, Ronnie couldn't give a fuck. 😂😂😂. Think Selby chewed his knuckles off during that last snooker. Nothing to prove anymore, just takes everything as a bonus at this stage/age in his career. Legend.
Maybe the best three frames of snooker I've ever seen, and a devastating comeback from Ronnie -- one which arguably did permanent damage to Selby's psyche -- and Ronnie can only go on about not having a cue action and how he just got lucky! Ronnie forever taking the piss! 😂

Amen to that
There's nothing better then hearing Stephen Hendry talk about Ronnies beautiful snooker
The two greatest commentators are Everton and Hendry and you can watch them together commentating on Ronnie’s 1000th century.
@@eyeshandy c y the first

Yeah , the Titan talkin about the Titan , the 2 best to date !!!
You know how good ronnie is when hendry and davis constantly praise him
I'm back, nearly 2 years later to watch these last 3 frames again, I cannot get enough of this, incredible stuff
same here!
The music one
Same here its just a masterpiece from the goat
Goosebumps

watched it 10 times but still i can't believe what Ronnie achieved.
I must have watched it 30 times it's still unbelievable, Ronnie is pure genius+entertainment
I keep thinking he's gonna lose
Me too after a year i continue to watch again and again these 3 frames
I watched this ‘live’ - in the middle of packing for moving to my new flat - and went from resigned misery to euphoric ecstasy during the course of these 50 minutes. Breathtaking stuff, the likes of which make this worth watching over and over again.

I've been watching this semi final since August almost every day. It's the most beautiful match I've ever seen. Absolutely made my day.
Jhoota
I don't know what I like best. O'Sullivan's game of these 3 frames, or the fact that Selby loses these 3 frames against O'Sullivan.
Very well put.
In the context of what happened in the previous frame and the situation of the final, the 138 break seemed like Ronnie just accessed another snooker dimension. One of the most transfixing sporting moments I've ever witnessed.

The post match interview was just as entertaining as the 3 frames he played 😂
all about the cue action
Did he find his cue action in the final?? 🤣
We all knew the second he came through this, the title was his.
Watched this video so many times i remember every word the commentator will say.
I remember watching this live and i was literally biting my fingernails. Even though it would be more pleasing to the eye if ronnie had won the decider in one visit, that safety exchange... And ronnie outclassing selby in his power zone, that was sublime.
Never heard “cue action” that many times in all the years I’ve been watching. Got to love Ronnie 😂
I will keep commentating the same comment whenever I see this match, it's absolutely the best match of the snooker history.
41:05
Hendry: "He is granite."
O'Sullivan: "Here comes the sledgehammer!"
One of the luckiest flukes ever!
Genius
I doubt that its a fluke, Im sure Ronnie saw the possible path for the red to go down table
Ronnie knows when to hit them softly and when to hit them hard. The next shot he selects "Feather Touch"
@@amit77 calculated fluke with touch of genius

A truly crucible classic. The greatest of all time. Won't be another player as good as him not even in a 100 yrs if ever
Apparently it’s all about the cue action 😂
well , obviously , ,,, don't talk about mine , well at 77 ........
Have to check on Amazon with Chief Bayzos there for some cue action. lolol
Liked your comment then realized you had 147 likes and i made it 148. So i unliked my like lol

this was magical by ronnie... i thought he was finished in the previous frame and then he pulls out these three wonderful frames of snooker.. electric
This is why snooker is a beautiful sport. The tension, the precision, the clutch plays. I remember watching this and will certainly never forget it, one of the most exciting moments I've ever seen
I think snooker is what happens when chess has a kid with golf, beautiful stuff
42:28 ''you won't see a better shot than that''..........the next shot from ronnie is already even better... what a legendary match!!!!

Watch this as this really is legendary.
Ronnie O'Sullivan the GOAT 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I remember watching this live, him being down two frames, saying never count the GOAT out, don’t be surprised if he does something magic and he did this. Unbelievable
Such a memorable sports event. Thanks for including Ronnie's comical interview at the end 😊
Back at the Crucible April 2022 and Ronnie's still playing like a machine.
Superb performance from the most naturally gifted snooker player that will ever play the game!
💯 facts!
I love watching Ronnie play
One of the best videos on RUclips. Watching for a third time! Bliss.
This is the best 45 minutes of snooker I've ever seen (watched about 20 times)especially against Mark Selby, in fact nearly as good as 5 centuries in best of 9 which included a 147 against Ali Carter❤😂
Ahh the Ronnie O’Sullivan show , the best 3 frames in history , thanks Ronnie
Best match ever. I cant stop seeing this.
THIS IS THE BEST MATCH I'VE EVER SEEN!!! RONNIE - THE GOAT
41:13 One of my favourite Ronnie shots and with the surprise bonus of the clear facial expression of Selby.
Greatest 3 frames of snooker in a row ever
I tend to watch this regularly (mainly for Stephen Hendry’s commentary, as he is the best in the business), the one thing I am not sure if anyone has commented on is the pace Ronnie plays the last red, misses it, covered by the Blue/Yellow. Watched the last sessions live and couldn’t move. Epic.

When I watch Federer I see fans waving flags reminding us we are seeing a genius at work, Ronnie is in that same mould; to add to Stephen Hendry’s Comment 49 minutes of pure O’ Sullivan genius. 20 Triple Crowns ( 6 World Tittles, 7 Masters Titles and 7 UK Titles, 37 Ranking Titles, 1000 plus centuries, 15 147 Maximums) as Hendry said in frame 32 ‘this is what he does’ a snooker G.O.A.T...Sheer Brilliance.
❤❤I have watched this video before and every time I still get goosebumps and it is all because of Ronnie ♥️
The best animals battle I saw: Rat vs Goat
Cant stop watching this. Mark twitching uncontrollaby. Ronnie playing snooker of the Gods.
Nothing better than watching Selby sweat!
Well said
No man, I don’t think he will reach 8 world titles. My prediction is... that this blitz comeback from Ronnie - who seemed absolutely buried by Mark - will have the same impact on him as 2014 final in Sheffield had on Ronnie. It will take some time for mark to wake up from this nightmare. Because just showed him a completely different level of snooker, which is a serious blow to any player confidence
@@kobeebenisrael6871 Well 1year later
@@kobeebenisrael6871 I am Ronnie fan but the Selby coming back and win the WSC 2021 !!!
Watched this game uncountable times over again and again
Hendry was basically done at 32, looks like o'Sullivan could keep going till 50
I am big fan of ronnie but i think when you have big big success in a short amount of time and you have all the records you lose the desire and the motivation to carry on . But if chendry challenged himself and put a goal ahead of himself he could'vd won more titles. Take a look now ,the majority of top 16 age is above 32.
Yeah, he stopped having that desire to win, that motivation that does pump yourself. He slowly started to lose against a lot of the pros and began to be even more desmotivated
He took real damage against ebdon in 2002. Ronnie did the finishing blow in 2004 and 2008 semis. Those were huge losses he never experienced before. Totally dominated by the rocket.
@@mr.krinkle1177 well, yeah. You can't really compare Ronnie to the guys that he was beating all the time to get into the finals in the 90's. Jimmy White was really the better one but not enough to win against him, got close just 1 time in the finals.
João Francisco Chanoca yeah I agree he played in weaker era. But he was a true pioneer nonetheless. Took the game and pushed it to today's modern attacking snooker that's why I have huge respect for him. But Ronnie took it another level. He is the ultimate snooker player and I laugh when Hendry fans say ”hendry is better” :))
roonie like can predict the future when he was try to "shake hand" used fist with selby couple years ago..now rules use elbow to shake hand..truly genius this man
😂
Ronnie is showing everyone how to play without fear especially against someone like Selby. Who is a fantastic player but has the ability to stop you playing. If you lose you lose but play the game how you want to play it. What a player O'SULLIVAN is
I remember watching this as someone who wasn‘t exactly a snooker „fan“. This changed my mind on the sport completely, thrilling stuff
I hate mark selby he’s anti snooker.
Every time he plays Ronnie he grinds the game down to his level.
Selby represents everything I hate in the game and Ronnie everything I love
Well,the most epic victories are always against formidable opponents.We wouldn't have that joy if he was playing against Craig Steadman,for example.The most satisfying results are when your hero is pushed to the limits and somehow he founds the winning line.Without formidable opponents there are no great victories.
Can you explain what you mean?
Selby is the last player I would expect to lose after being 2 up with 3 to play
I agree. I thought he would be in the final soon. Ronnie had a mountain to climb at 14:16. But then he just took off, rest is history.
I know, it was absolutely brilliant, and hilarious. Selby really thought he was in the final, I believe.
An unbelievable win for Ronnie and the most exciting semi final I’ve ever seen. Selby played an unbelievable escape to re snooker Ronnie in that last frame. Probably the best snooker escape ever played, given the circumstances. Ronnie held out to win, I just couldn’t believe how he’d turned this match around. Revenge for 2014 finally came. Fantastic match.
11:04 This shot alone is why he is the one and only genius in the game
The difficulty, the timing, the pressure, truly ridiculous
That ridiculous shot tight off the baulk line under such extreme pressure, on the biggest stage, was absolutely majestic!! Insane!!
If Ronnie ever doubts his cue action he should just watch frame 31 of this match, its sooooo straight and fluent
If the crowd was there. Excitement level will b unimaginable
Just get your left hip nearer to the table and tah-dah
This sums up Ronnie O’Sullivan in 3 frames.. genius !!
Anyone noticed that O'Sullivan opened that last frame decider with his "weaker" left hand?
What a boss move in that stage of a match... :D

10 years ?!?
Where did you come up with that crap ?!?
He has 5 left at best. He's already 37 years old. The style he uses drains a man out, he will be finished after the age of 40.
This was just an incredible finish to this match. From 14-16 down Ronnie stepped up about 3 gears. He scored 276 points without reply before Mark scored 34 when Ronnie's break in the decider ended at 64. To make breaks of 138, 71 & 64 to win 17-16 from 14-16 down is incredible and only Ronnie O'Sullivan could have done that.
That interview at the end is the best I've heard - ALL ABOUT THE CUE ACTION! 😂😂
Ronnie is the king of Snooker. What an amazing stuff that was. His commitment when he’s potting, also the safety shots were amazing. Definitely incredible.
Most satisfying sequence I have ever watched. I would not be happier than having trophies. Nothing else compares with seeing Selby as roasted.
Great 👌 incredible mach
One of the most incredible sequence of final frames ever. When Selby was interviewed at the end, he described O'Sullivan's play as disrespectful, which somehow made the occasion even more enjoyable.
Why disrespectful?
Selby forgot to mention how many frames he won, because of Ronnie's "disrespectful" shots - like when it was in his favor was OK.
@@saggioepicureo His constant hit & hopes weren't in the spirit of snooker which still holds the standards of a gentlemen's game, the type of sport where it's customary to apologize if you fluke a shot. I get what he was saying but it was kind of a compliment actually, Ronnie knew he couldn't beat him in a slug fest so didn't even try.
What can be a little disrespectful (imo) is when Ronnie plays snooker like this, then does nothing but whine in the post-match which he does ALOT. His absolute honesty is admirable but sometimes it gets a bit much, like he's taking the piss out of himself, his opponent & the game itself.
What a shame it wasn't the final...and what a shame that it was without fans
Ronnie went into GOD mode at 16-14 down, like nobody else ever could.
O’Sullivan é uma máquina de jogar, tamanha é sua precisão.
You’re not wrong mate. His cue action was all over the gaf
Ronnie is a supernatural force. .thanks ronnie from a still suffering Jimmy White fan. Alongside the genius flair you won the biggest matches as this video shows better than most. Superb stuff.
The best in the World. Congratulations Ronnie , thank you!
I don’t watch a snooker upload more than this one
I watched this live. The Best 3 frames I’ve ever seen from a player. He gave Mark a chance and just thought “fuck it, if you’re not gonna take it I’ll pot everything in sight”. Incredible
Man, in the decider Ronnie looked like he would make the 3rd frame winning break in a row and Selby wont score a point. Balls were all in the open. Ronnie somehow landed straight on the black and had to force it in and got an unwanted contact on the reds. I expected to get the red into the green pocket. When he missed i feared the worst and a loss would have been so devastating considering how he played in the last 2 1/2 frames.
When he was straight on the black, why didn't he screw back and play for the red to the left middle? ruclips.net/video/IIo8S7W9YQI/видео.html Sorry I'm no expert on snooker
He was not exactally straight and the easy reverse side shot is not for right handeds in this side of the table. 33:12
@@TofuTofu88 he was not exactly straight, he could have screwed back with reverse side but wont get far towards the 2 reds on the right of the pink. He should have been more careful when plays the red before that black to ensure nice position on the black but then again at that time reds are every where so no extra attention given iguess. I still think about this to be honest eventhough Ronnie already has the sixth world trophy in his cabinet at home...
If he were straight the screw back would have been the choice most definitely. He was left with a very slight angle leading the cue ball towards the black cushion. You can still screw back with reverse side there as has been mentioned but its not easy and you probably won't get up table much but perhaps in between the red's. The position is not a given... The top spin choice was great obviously. I think it's quite unlucky to land there with so many red's open. At the same time its a bad shot landing there. Might sound like I'm pretending to be an expert lol but no not at all it's just how I see it.
One red was going to right middle after last black. Was that better option than he played? I am not very good at also. Thanks.
Whenever i feel broken i will watch the face of Selby maybe it'll relieve me
Why
Whenever i get constipation i see your comment. lololol
Just absolutely the greatest ever!! Ronnie u r god 🔥
Who's here after Ronnie won his 7th wsc?

He’s just stood there at the end and took the absolute piss for three minutes 😂😂
Ronnie tu sei un genio .
Sei il più grande della storia .
Voglio il mondiale 2021

👍
Brilliant Ronnie! What a super Final, best in the World. Congratulations Ronnie
The 138 was a beautiful break. He's got the delicate touch.
Hoy, Congratulations Ronnie! Good job Sir, amazing match.
some people when they wanna feel good go score some H, meth or coke. I come here and watch these last 3 frames
Hendry’s reaction at 42:49 gets me every time 🤣
Selby clearly wanted it more, Ronnie couldn't give a fuck. 😂😂😂. Think Selby chewed his knuckles off during that last snooker. Nothing to prove anymore, just takes everything as a bonus at this stage/age in his career. Legend.
Simply the greatest player ever
O melhor de todos os tempos...
Excellent ,it even better live.
I think Ronnie controls the white ball ,better than any other player .
Maybe the best three frames of snooker I've ever seen, and a devastating comeback from Ronnie -- one which arguably did permanent damage to Selby's psyche -- and Ronnie can only go on about not having a cue action and how he just got lucky! Ronnie forever taking the piss! 😂
Even with a crap cue action ronnie is too good for everyone, what a dude what a player.
Probably three of the best frames ever played in snooker ..
Speechless!
Long live ronnie o just amazing to watch what a comeback
