I'm convinced Maguire might well have gone on to win the World Championship in 2005 had he closed out this match. With Higgins not yet back to his best, Hendry fading quickly, Hunter sadly battling cancer and the next generation of Selby, Robertson, Ding etc. yet to properly emerge or consolidate themselves as frequent winners, it was a glorious opportunity that year. Maguire had looked the real deal in the 2004-05 season, making the British Open final, winning the UK and hammering a then very dominant O'Sullivan in both of them. Maguire admitted that this match sapped all his discipline and will for the rest of 2005 and it took him 2 or 3 years to really recover. Problem was, by then Selby, Robertson and Ding were in the upper echelons, Higgins and O'Sullivan were virtually passing the world title between them each year and those kind of chances just weren't as frequent anymore (even then, he let Higgins off the hook badly in the 2007 semi finals). Such a talent; really should have a few more trophies to show for it and, in my opinion, should probably have had a Crucible triumph in 2005 or 2006.

Great comment, he has definitely underachieved

You are probably right but you can’t look at things this way. Same way Ronnie could have had 8 world titles by now but he only has 5. Snooker frames get so close sometimes. There are plenty of matches won at black ball. It’s just what it is. This way by this analogy every snooker player are underachievers. I have a list long as hell. From jimmy white to Ali carter or Michael holt or any other.

@breadandcircuses9967 4 жыл бұрын

You’re giving him more credit than he really deserves , he gets described as an underachiever because he won the UK in 2004 as a 23 year old but the only serious opponent he beat in that tournament was O’Sullivan , David Gray Mark King Steve Davis Mark Davis and Stephen Lee were the others , its like he was the party pooper in a designated O’Sullivan festival and has been a bit overrated ever since .

Obviously i knew the outcome of this match, but looking at just the final few frames, its incredible how strong Ronnie was mentally, and the level of discipline he had at the final frame for example. Not attempting that risky pink which was covered ever so slightly by a red, and instead went up for a baulk color ball, and got down again, and went up again, and so on. Its so nervebreaking to go up for the blue to build a break every single time, even the best players tend to mess it up after the 3rd or 4th attempt, but Ronnie kept himself amazingly intact while building that break with the baulks. I was aware of his strugglings against Ebdon in the last 16, and now after watching this vid, i have no idea how he could collapse against him so badly.

That missed black by MacGuire was the turnaround. After that he was all hangdog and Ronnie picked up on it, spurring him on. He should have maintained his winning expression and shrugged it off. Ronnie was already resigned to losing prior to that.

@CesarMuroya 4 жыл бұрын

Good observation. In fact, it's impossible that Maguire has been in the top 16. Only data of the start-end of the seasons is available. So, I chose #3 (end) instead of #24 (start), because the WSC is played at the end. But you're right, I should not have put #3. Now I wonder how his ranking rose from, say 17 to 3 by winning one qualifying and then losing in round 1.

@@CesarMuroya The rankings used to be updated once per year after the world championship but changed to a rolling system in 2010/2011with the rankings updated after every tournament. Maguire would have been #24 when the WC's were picked - and had to play a qualifier and face Ronnie. But, as a result of having earlier won the UK Champs, he was promoted to #3 after the WC! Very unfair - hence the change!

@Reddan Jones Ronnie about Hendry, 2002 : "The most satisfying thing for me would be to send him home to Scotland as quickly as possible for a nice summer off. "I'll say hello to him because it's hard to ignore someone - but he's not my cup of tea." "I know if I do get beat and he comes up and does a moonie in front of me and goes 'nah nah nah', I'll just look at him and say 'well done' and say 'go back to your sad little life'." No doubt he loved him.
