Totally agree with all you've said there WUB. And if they aren't used to him by now, they're never going to be. He's always just been himself ... more and more though, this just seems to piss of Hearn because he can't control him.


Ronnie doesn't seem to be all that bothered about it either going by this little conversation between himself and Barry

People don't understand someone - particularly in this day and age where everything is about spin and image and many people in the public eye are complete phonies - that just says what he thinks, and you can like it, or you can lump it. It's like there are supposed to be two narratives or images of yourself that exist, one in public and one in private. Someone like Hearn; everything he says is public in carefully calculated spin. I'm sure he's totally different in private. But he just wouldn't understand someone who can't be arsed with all that.

It was also recently brought to my attention that he's linked the DIF a couple of times lately via tweets.


If he's on there, it will fuck with his head and he won't be able to concentrate on what he does best.

psketti wrote: I didn't know that, but I found a couple of tweets where he linked to the DI headlines. I would hope that he's able to compartmentalise his snooker from anything else, but I think it's great that he's got a social conscience. It would be easy for him to just enjoy life and not really bother about anything else. He's been tweeting some interesting stuff recently:

Anything that gets everyday people to realise that things are very awry can only be useful.

Aye you're right enough WUB.

Although, if he mentions lizards at any future point, I still think we should hatch a plan to rescue him

psketti wrote: I think he's a bit too down to earth for that. I don't think I've encountered anyone that really accepts that premise.

Lengthy interview with Ronnie here:

www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/oct/11/wo...ion-ronnie-osullivan

I must read his book at some point. I never thought I'd see him coming out with this sort of stuff:

I wouldn't what Dennis Taylor would make of it.

Is anyone watching the Champion of Champions this week?:

Aye me and I nearly forgot it was coming so thank you WUB

Can't wait... a whole week too

So, is there like...any nekkid pics of him up on here yet then?

psketti wrote: It was mainly aimed at you!

I saw a bit of the snooker from Belgium last week (Ronnie lost in the final to Selby). He played very well until the final, but one of the commentators said something that was mind blowing. He said he'd been talking to Judd Trump and they'd been practicing in the same club together, and while Judd was there Ronnie had made eight 147s in an afternoon.

Ronnies too classy for that kind of shennanigans ffs

Wow.

I'm having a wee moment here now while that sinks in...

Just wow.

Did I mention how much I love Ronnie yet

Well that was a pleasant enough opening afternoon, resulting in Murphy gone which suits me just fine

Would like to see Maguire take this one but it will likely go to Selby.

Ronnie's on Friday

psketti wrote: Looks like Maguire has won the first frame. Selby is a difficult opponent for Ronnie, although he still beats him more often than not. Snooker all day and cricket all night this week; I don't know how I ever coped with having a job...

Some of the best matches I've seen have been Ronnie and Selby.

Been looking to see if it's documented anywhere what Judd said about those 147's but can't find anything.

Well played to Bingham. Judd just wasn't doing it.
