Ronnie O' Sullivan

I was so glad I recorded the afternoon's play, what a treat those last four frames were... and to see him so relaxed and happy after, chatting to Steve, made my day it did.
 
Seems like it's getting easier and easier to make 147s. Are they making the pockets bigger or something? Or are the players less pissed?
 
I had mixed feelings about Carter's 147, I mean - fair play to him, and he was playing TCE (that cunt Ebdon) which made it even better. But what kinda ride is Ronnie gonna get for £78,500? Actually I take that back. You could get a nice second-hand Lupo for that, and have change for a chinese and some ganja.

Come on..it was carters first ever 147 i think. I wouldn't say its 'easy'. Maybe they just practice a lot more and they're worth a lot more to these days.

Oh and yeah poor ronnie now only gets £78,500. I feel sorry for him. :( :hmm:
 
Carter looked overjoyed when he got his, leaping around all over the place. In amongst all the whooping I was hoping he'd 'accidentally' pop TCE in the mouth and blame it on high spirits.

Dunno if you saw any of Ronnie's morning session, he was all over it. Every break started off red, black, red, black like he was determined to get another 147 no matter what! Mesmerising to watch when he's cueing well and feeling positive.
 
According to the papers today Ronnie is thinking of packing snooker in to become a pro cross country runner!
http://www.independent.ie/sport/oth...er-makes-history-with-superb-147-1362630.html
O'Sullivan admits he devotes more time and energy to his running than his snooker and has linked up with a local athletics club while in Sheffield to keep up his training.

The 32-year-old was a creditable 189th out of 832 finishers in the South of England Cross Country Championships in January and has set himself some ambitious goals away from the table.

"I'm looking to go as far as I can go,'' said O'Sullivan, who ended the opening session of his quarter-final with China's Liang Wenbo level at 4-4.

"I want to become an elite runner, that will give me a two hours, 30 minutes time for a marathon, that's my goal eventually."

Why the hatred for TCE?

Apart from the eternity it takes him to play one simple fucking shot, the fact that he readily admits to employing underhand tactics to frustrate his opponents irks me quite badly. Also he always seems to do it to my favourites, he knows full well he can't best someone with the natural talent of Ronnie without incorporating sly, psychological devices to throw him off his game, thus making the crowd sit through hour-long frames, with him pulling that quizzical look as if he's thinking of his shot (when he's just standing there attempting to aggravate his opponent by doing nothing at all) when we could be seeing free-flowing 147s instead.
Also, he fucked off to Dubai with his family and now spends every opportunity he can talking the place up, like he's bankrolled by the tourism industry. When I think the reason he left is because nobody in his street liked him.
Actually there's a very fine line, I hate him so much I have to quite admit to LOVING him.
Well not really, but seeing him get beaten does make me very happy and you can't have one without the other.
So in summary, snooker is a gentleman's game. Not for devious, sneaky bald grinders like TCE.
No wait, AND the year he won the worlds he was the luckiest fucker in the tournament, all the in form players knocked themselves out on their way to the final and TCE had a easy run.
AND remember when he brought out a single? 'Tears of a fucking clown' or something, and thought he was 'the one with the personality' amongst his contemporaries? Collapsing on the floor after a break and generally being a conceited brash pony-tailed cockerny-wanker.
I'm sure I'll think of more if you give me just a minute.

I vaguely remember reading an interview with him. Interviewer said he was basically a weirdo nutjob, very intense. Was stressing his intellectual qualities and the amount of reading he does :rolleyes:
 
:D that's made my afternoon.

Always thought he was a boring fucker to watch, but that's made me laugh. TCE seems pretty fitting :)

There's another reason right there!

Whenever he plays I'm always expecting to hear, instead of the usual "Come on Ronnie/Jimmy" someone to shout "Fuck off Ebdon you wanker". It'd be a refreshing change and worth getting slung out for, I reckon you'd get some sort of ovation from the the crowd too, and maybe a wink and a nod from the ref.

The first time I saw that abbreviation in a text from a mate, with no explanation necessary, I laughed out loud and haven't been able to shake it off since. :D

Haha didn't know hendry was facing ronnie in the semi's, just starting now, should be a classic!

Didn't he walk out of the match last time he played Hendry in the worlds?

Hoping for a classic too. All i've got to do today is go out and vote at some point. The rest of the day is reserved for snooker :cool:
