Before the match started,i had a feeling that Ronnie would beat John.
Yeah,we all know,that Ronnies cra**ed his nappies often when he played John,but often does,nt mean always.
I have no complaints at all how the match went,panned out,bout the run o the ball,etc,as Ronnie without a doubt was the better player and thouroughly deserves to be in the Final!.
John canny and didnae complain neither,as he also knows full well,that he had plenty o chances.Every dept of his game was over par.His scoreing,positional play,safety play was poor it has to be said,one aint gonna beat Ronnie,especially if all of those assets fail,in fact there,s a lot o players who one would,nt beat,playin the way John did,let alone Ronnie.
Ronnnie made SEVENTEEN 50+ breaks!,which is truly FANTABULOUS,INCREDIBLE!.
I dunno who holds the record,or how many 50+ breaks in a best of 33 is the record,but I have a feeling that what Ronnie achieved here against John,(SEVENTEEN 50+ breaks ),that that surely is a new record?.
John only made a measly seven 50+breaks,four of them were just over 50!.
I aint as disappointed as i thought i would be,but thats mainly because John was poor,if he eg had o played good,really good and of gotten beat,or eg,if he had o lost 17-16,17-15,i would o been gutted,but losing 17-11 is a clear defeat.
I,m obviously now hopin that Judd,ll take care o Ronnie!.

Sorry dude, the final is Ronnie getting embarrassed by Trump

that bus is long passed. At the age of 32/33 MJW, Higgins, Ronnie, Hendry, Davis, even Selby were mutliple WC, UK and Masters winners. I dont wanna devalue the other ranking events but you are measured by those TCs.
With the longevity the players have now, 32 is still fairly young. A good decade of dominance and all the records are gone. Trump has everything it takes.
Centuries yes, ranking event yes. Doubt he will even cross 4 in each TC event.
Selby was 31 (nearly 32) when he won his first WC. It’s far from impossible that Judd will match or surpass his haul.

True.
But this Week, Judd could start to elevate himself to another level
Exactly my point, that's why I said i get the vibes of the 1990 UK final between Davis and Hendry!

I was just about to post the same thing, if it’s a trouncing too then all the more sweeter. This is all I needed to see all season.
Utter crap! I get it's a good win, but how you can take more satisfaction in Ronnie beating an underperforming Higgins, than a potential blockbuster Ronnie trump final is beyond me.
Because he hasn’t beaten Higgins here since 2001. Not to mention countless other collapses.

How about Ronnie beating an in form Trump in a final match for the 7th!? An in form Trump would be the ultimate challenge for Ronnie, now that he finally put Selby in his place. It would be the next epic chapter of the story of the great man. I know Ronnie has what is needed in him to figure out Trump's last year version if such an encounter happens in the coming years. Trump has a major problem with consistency and it is still unknown whether he is capable to fix that in the future. My opinion is that these consistency problems can't be resolved drastically and will hurt his legacy eventually. It must be said, however, that in the instances when he delivers his best snooker, it is something very special to watch. And that is exactly what I want the Rocket to accomplish - to win a world title beating an in form Trump, preferably in a final
The reposting function didn't work and I just copied my post from the 2020 WC final thread. I guess my wish for the 2 of them to meet in a world final came true! :) I have expressed this opinion of mine several times on this forum - The Rocket beating Trump in the Crucible final would be beyond epic. Come on Ronnie!

Gutted that Williams didn’t get through because I would have loved nothing more than to see him and O’Sullivan go head to head over 35 frames.
Fingers crossed for the 7th.
