O'sullivan being a sulky fuck again.

[Spy Bee]

A player of O'Sullivan's ability should have won far, far, far more trophies than he has. He's definitely wasted his talent (to a degree) because of his shit attitude.

 

I don't agree with this. Mental strength and even inclination to a point are also part of talent. Potting ability and cue ball control alone are not enough.

[Christian]

I think he was having a go at Barry Hearn really.

 

On the BBC website he says that Hearn said he was going to bring more money into the game & he is actually getting rid of 147 prizes etc.

 

Is the correct answer.

Bonafide genius and the Higgins of our times.

[The Dude Abides]

Ubercunt. That is all.

[Get Carter]

Well good luck telling your grandson about being there and witnessing a real life 'legend', then going on to tell him about how the man who walked away from a snooker table instead of potting a ball !!!!!!!!!!!! not exactly Wyatt earp is he.

 

Do one bellend

[rondeco]

'Do one bellend'. Wow! Shakespeare shivers..

[Mathewbet1]

Legend

[Trumo]

If he wanted more money he could have placed a bet on it. Oh wait...

[loadsoftrophies]

He's a fucking smartarse, can't stand him although he is uber talented.

[Tyler Durden]

Fuck me you'd think he had mugged a pensioner the way some carry on here, he deliberately left the ball as a swipe to Hearn (bit too much of a coincidence if not), the genius part about it was the fact that he asked the question while there was a full table left.

I thought that was this chap?

 

[lifetime fan]

Let me clarify my point.

 

Ronnie is my favourite player since Jimmy White and is a pleasure to watch, when he first broke through he was a complete breath of fresh air.

 

Now I still love to watch him play snooker but turn off as soon as he's being interviewed.

"We'll try and find out for him when he gets down to the last black".

[Elmyn Noos]

Snooker is fucking boring to watch. Anything that spices it up a little gets my vote. Humility is fucking well over-rated anyway. I like to see a swagger and a bit of arrogance. I would have told the ref that if he wanted the black potting, he'd need to get me Barry Hearn on the phone so we could talk shop. I'm here for the money fucktards.

[Guido]

He used to be my favourite player (excepting Tony Drago, obviously) but is now my least favourite. Cannot stand his childishness and the way he speaks to people in interviews. That said, i had no problem with him leaving that last black, which would have been cool and made a point at the same time. Think i may take LF's advice above and start turning off when it's interview time!

[cochcaer]

Thought he was just fucking about and that it was a pr stunt. The death of Higgins may have reminded them that a bit of attitude raises the profile of the sport.

[Red Mist]

He made a good point about no prize money for the 147. Having a special prize is a given in snooker but Hearn's new event has fuck all, despite him promising more money. Bet Ronnie now feels like an idiot for previously backing Hearn to the hilt.

[Woo]

Pretty sure you get £147k in the World Championships if you make a maximum break.

[Wor Horse]

Barry Hearn is a twat. He's always promising money but never gives. I think L*yton O*ient have spent a fee on a player once in the last 5 years under his ownership.

[Get Carter]

'Do one bellend'. Wow! Shakespeare shivers..

 

Whats it got to do with you

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Do one bellend

 

Are you made up ??

[Thants]

Ronnie O'Sullivan made a 147 break in beating Mark King 3-0 at the World Open - but only after the referee urged him to pot the final black.

 

He potted the final pink before bizarrely shaking hands with King and was set to leave the auditorium before Dutchman Verhaas patted O'Sullivan on the back requesting him to pot the final black for the sake of an expectant crowd at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre.

 

O'Sullivan hesitated before smashing the final ball into a bottom bag with the black almost bouncing off the table before disappearing down the hole to the delight of the audience.

God I hate reading the news. Fuck off did he almost walk off only to come back. He just made an issue of Hearn talking shit while potting a 147. Fucking legend and my favourite behind Jimmy.

[Get Carter]

Are you made up ??

 

Made up with what?

 

You were the one with the smart arse Wyatt Earp and tell your grandkids reply you prick.

 

All I was doing was saying was that had I been there it would not have bothered me had he walked away from the black as I thought it was a better tale to tell.

[Xherdan]

Pretty sure you get £147k in the World Championships if you make a maximum break.

 

 

 

There is an over all prize of £147k. If two people make 147's they divide the £147k.

Whats with the personal abuse? Can you not make a point without resorting to this type of childishness?

[lifetime fan]

There is an over all prize of £147k. If two people make 147's they divide the £147k.

 

Plus another £20-25,000 prize for the highest break
