o Sullivan o so silly comment

i love Ronnie, there's no debate,
but these comments by him do inflate.
it is normal and i am sure lots will bat a eyelid,
because moaning about a price, is far from splendid.
£4000 for hitting a 147 is allot lower,
but to world snooker i will not get on the blower.
self commentary has really done Ronnie in,
to not appreciate any price is a sin.
he could have done it another way and gave it to Charity,
but he has shown himself up for a money grabber, that's clarity.
Ronnie i hope you reflect and apologise,
and sincerely mean it and take this as a criticise.
yes you have worked hard for snooker, like all geniuses you have a flaw,
if you are that unhappy with the sport that made you millions, there's the door.


( i love ronnie but he dose put his foot in it allot. this was all about scoreing 147 max break and hearing the price money has been lowered to £4000. (i am sure any of us would be happy with this but ronnie was not and i did not like this side i saw of him ) the joe would love to hear from anyone who thinks i am being to harsh on this genuiness)

not reading that..what did he say?

this.

Oh never mind Joe, I will lend them my hearing aid later.

Joe, I do not know much about snooker so I googled his name.
He is a very colourful character, isn't he?
He also had a drug problem so who knows he might not be that wealthy man than people think.

But still he is a hero to a millions of snooker fans. It was a great shame such a comment what ever the reason behind.

This.

hello sootster < hows you mate ? i hope well.

glad you tryed to find out a bit about ronnie but what you dont no is he is just GREAT to watch when he is on form and the farct he often dose nut case things it makes him on the edge to watch. i really dont ever see him being hard up for cash as he prise earnings are in the millions but i could be wrong.

ps one nutty thing he done that made me laugh was < he was playing snooker and the next game he came in with a total shaved head < that was a classic. he has done lots more to soot. anyway thanks for your comments as always they are a pleasure to read.

He was about to go for a 147 Maximum Break [because the opportunity was there], when he stopped to ask the referee what the prize for Maximum Break was [there's usually a prize, in the World Championship it's £147,000]. After a few minutes, the ref told him that there was no prize, and instead there was just a prize for the highest break of the tournament, which is just £4,000. He carried on, getting all the way until the last black, where he stopped at just 140 points, and was about to walk off until the ref convinced him to pot it and make the 147.

He said in an interview later that he thought 'Barry Hearn was supposed to be putting more money into the game'. He's the chairman of the WPBSA.

A fair comment to make, if you ask me. £4,000 is pocket money [in the Snooker Tournaments sense]

Thank you Jack.:blush:

money back in the sport could have been to mean traing young people up how to play < opening acamedys etc not just biger and bigger pay for winners ? this is not football lol

If this is how he treats the viewers and the people who payed for a ticket to watch him then it's time he was kicked out of the game.

I saw, what an idiot, he tried so hard to get it but was then willing to walk off leaving the final black sitting. The blokes an arsehole with a dodgy background, if he wasn't so obvciously talented he would be blackballed by the governing bodies for being so twatish.

Chill. He gives us something to watch and it's a bit of light entertainment. He's unpredictable and it's quite amusing.

Or would you rather watch a bore with no personality like Shaun Murphy?

Ronnies a good guy but has lots of trouble with depression and stuff. He's a very firey character. He likes contraversy

After the ref told him to play the black,he should've missed on purpose.:spin:

Being Ronnie I'm surprised he didn't do something. Either carry on walking off or miss/foul/belt the ball

I'd rather watch darts. snookers boring.
