Does he have a point?

[Greb147 6,809]

I see Ronnie is going off the rails again, the man is getting stranger and stranger with each passing year. 

He got a proper spanking yesterday and was trying to claim Selby was moving on his shots whilst he was moving himself when Selby got down. 

I do think he's having some sort of mental break down, the most awkward cnut ever.

The Chinese guy showed that it's worth carrying on when your three snookers behind, last night against Higgins, even though he lost; but what the hell was O'Sullivan thinking,playing on wanting TEN snookers with only four colours on the table, then playing on for snookers with only the black on the table and the ref had to step in and end the game ?

Then the mind games, saying Shelby was "tapping" his water bottle, etc ? 

The mind games didn't work against Allen, and they didn't work against Selby !

I still think he's the best player ever, and he's allways been weird, but I think as his skills are waning, he can't handle it and is completely losing the plot !

Shame.

Cheers.

You can tell he's losing the plot can't you and is having a breakdown. 

He looks like Parker off Thunderbirds as a well.

No histrionics or mind games from O'Sullivan tonight, just a workman like game. 1-0 down then wins 4 frames in a row to win 4-1.

Missed a couple of shots he would usually put away, but his ability to play left handed made the big difference against Ali Carter.

Cheers.

What's with all the tournaments all in a row, it seems like they've been playing daily for the month?

Lol if ever there was that type of character in snooker, it has to be ali carter with the hairstyle he had a few years ago. I used to refer to him as 'thunderbird head' when watching/talking about him to my brother

I think a lot of tournaments were cancelled or postponed due to the virus, they're catching up.

Cheers.

O'Sullivan is arguing the rules with the ref ! 

He missed twice in a row on a snooker and the ref has told him another miss and he loses the frame !

O'Sullivan says he can't see both sides of a red So the "three miss " rule doesn't apply ! 

I agree with him, but he's backed down !

Cheers.

Watching as we text chart, he's looking more comfortable than he was last week.

I'm watching it and the ref has just contradicted himself with Hawkins in a snooker.

I love the game, but I admit I don't know the more esoteric rules !

I still enjoy watching O'Sullivan more than the old has beens or the new "automatons", he's why snooker is still relevant !

Cheers.

Yeah, some of the 'finer' detailed rules are over my head.

Quite agree with you about o'sullivan.

Not like Ronnie that, he usually smashes those tight browns in.

I actually don't know if he put to much  "top" or " bottom", ( I think it had to be "top"), on that ball ! I, literally, took my eye off the ball !

Cheers.

Kin el, chill out ronnie, you'll have someone's eye out!! Lol

[Greb147 6,809]

Thinking about it wouldn't it be great being a snooker player? 

Might not be mega money like some sports but it's better than getting up at 5am and working in the pissing down rain all day!
