Neil was spot on with his point 11:53. I can only imagine Ronnie didn't realise it would be two snookers required. The other option is that the mindset of what if I miss is just not something he is going to entertain here... but on reflection... the snooker is easy... playing slower makes the pot easy... no brainer really.

[@MetteC5]

Had any other top player than the Snotcket lost this, the comment section would be full of 'cheat', 'matchfixer', 'smells fishy' comments.. 2 poids, 2 mesures, le propre de l'idiotie.

[@allancoull9163]

No idea why he hit the black along the cushion so hard? 🤔 Surely it would have been easier just to roll it in as he didn't need position on the yellow!

[@ISOLATICN1]

Threw the match, soon as he did that I knew it was over ffs

[@xplaybwoix]

Thinking on the other likely scenario that he’s human and didn’t fix the match , I’d say he thought about snookering himself and that is why he didn’t play it slowly . Ronnie is not the type of person to deliberately snooker himself and then have the difficulty of trying to get out of a snooker of his own making . He rarely puts others in snookers so why himself ? I’m confused with Neal Foulds logic of Ronnie intentionally snookering himself when he could quite easily foul or give free ball if he did that ?

[@owenbrad]

​@@xplaybwoix Because if he had potted the black, and snookered himself on yellow, Hossein would've needed 2 snookers. If Ronnie then missed the yellow, Hossein still needs a snooker. If Ronnie pots that black, he realistically wins, no matter where he ends up on the yellow

[@pauls7803]

Ronnie is more bothered about how he plays the game than winning these days. He just wanted to play a positive shot. He always attempts some sort of position on the next ball, irrespective of the match situation. He didn't enforce the miss rule in an earlier frame either for the same reason. Not how he plays the game.

[@ziberpc245]

@@xplaybwoixl don’t see how he could snooker himself. Only with a stun he could. By rolling the black in with some topspin on the cueball he would get enough momentum for the cueball to be able to see the yellow after. I don’t think the commentator had a valid point there.

[@UrosLj]

Shame for Ronnie but Vafaei played good, as ussual one more UNFORTUNATE 0'Sullivan's day of losing to himself...

[@michaelmoffat-d1v]

Can’t believe Ronnie played the black with so much pace✌️

[@joew3477]

some players just have a snooker brain

[@ziberpc245]

It’s called pocket speed and even if he wanted to get to the yellow with a screw shot, he didn’t have the angle on the black to do so, so really there was no point in hitting that black that hard whatsoever.

[@dannyblack9163]

Just roll it in and your opponent needs snookers ridiculous really.

He always attempts some sort of position on the next ball, even when alternatives are preferable. Just how he plays the game

[@BrianVincent-gz2dq]

Is it me or is Ronnie a master at throwing frames without attracting suspicion? The pace he played that black was highly suspicious to me. Noticed a few disguised misses by the Rocket this year.

[@DaMaster1983]

ronnie just had to pot the black , but because he is a perfectionist , he tried to get out to the yellow.. and that cost him

[@adrianwright8685]

12:10 Ronnie didn't work this out - as Neil Foulds said he could have just rolled it possibly leaving a snooker. At that speed a good chance of missing! And why screw back anyway - he didn't get on the yellow?

[@derekwebb4369]

I've just watched the shot again. He could have played the shot gently and ran through with the white, wouldn't have snookered himself. Also would have a better angle to pot yellow. So I can't figure out why he played the black like that. Some people here are saying he fixed the match. I think that's rubbish. He doesn't need to fix matches, he wins enough money playing. He's the most high profile player so is subject to more scrutiny probably. And that black was really really close to going in. It's so easy to say match fix but these players are humans, subject to physical and mental error

Again a STUPID shot choice by someone like ronnie on the last black. He gifted the match to vafai. Where he could've easily try and pot the black by soft stun and leave the cue ball in the line of pink and snooker vafai on yellow, had he missed the black. Or run cue ball to black snooker vafai on yellow, OR put a colour safe knowing he was 26 points ahead. Very Poor and casual game play
