Ronnie O'Sullivan

Post by Ruler of The World »

What the hell is up with him now????

Taking his shoes off, calling himself a wanker and sticking chalk on the table... topped off by getting knocked out of the tournament!? What's his problem?? Why does the best player in snooker for decades have to be such a twat?

Lol no idea, I did chuckle when he put the chalk down. Potentially a foul as he could be accused of using an object to gauge width of gaps, angles etc
For all these years I thought you could get by on that with eyes alone. Nope. Plonk. Random chalk on table. Uber silliness.

Ronnie is better imo, the standard is much better now than it was when Davis was winning tournaments, Ronnie has not achieved as much as he should have done. There's also alot more tournaments now on a weekly basis. If you put Steve Davis in his prime into the top 16 now he would win a quarter of what he did in the 80s, same for Hendry but I rate Hendry more than I do Davis. All 3 are great players tho.

Who else could ever take a year out of a sport and come back and win the worlds the next year. With a game like snooker where practice and dedication are key that's a massive achievement

I don't sit around waiting for replies all day and troll them! I only do that at night!

Its like The Cannonball says, the standards are higher now. Hendry was more consistent but on his day Ronnie would pulverise anyone which is why I said what I said. If it weren't for his attitude, he'd be the best ever with records to show it. Sadly, he is a severely flawed genius but I guess that's why so many people love him.

Excellent logical point making skills and great that your information is so accurate too. No wonder you're named after Michael Jackson's chimp.

You have to wonder how a no mark serially average top 32 player has suddenly got so good after struggling for twenty years to scrape a living suddenly be world champion.

If it had been a horse , it would be drug tested !!!
