Snooker

Kyren Wilson - worthy winner

Good player and a good character, I like the way he lightens the mood with the crowd at times.

But........

.......that mad guy in the suit who comes on after the match to interview the players - where did they find him from??

Completely mental, way OTT, he's like a pantomime character!!

Rob Walker needs his hard drive checking and his hands cuffing.

You can see some of the players being really uncomfortable with him touching them.

Can’t be doing with all that shite in sport. Once the match is finished, I turn it over to something else. That fella’s a real weirdo.

Ronnie is the GOAT, but the scariest thing is that his winning honours could have been double if not for his mental health and early lifestyle

Possibly his mental abilities contribute to both his success AND his failures so I would disagree a little, if he thought like everyone else he might have actually won less but had fewer demons. Great player I agree but when he finally gives up (hopefully not soon) I hope he can be happy with the sacrifices he’s made.

Think he’s after his 8th World title. He doesn’t seem arsed about any of the other tournaments these days.

Must get soul destroying to fly round the world, play snooker for 5 days, then fly somewhere else and do it again. Jet lag must be crazy.

I’ve never really been a Ronnie fan, I tend to root for the underdog I suppose, but I wouldn’t have a problem if he got an 8th world title. That travelling is bonkers, there’s a new tournament every week it seems on TNT.

The players make a loss on travel unless they win a couple of games too. Must get knackering.

The TNT audio is so bad. They never seem to filter out the air conditioning noise and their microphones crackle when commentating. Do quite like Dominic Dale’s commentary though.

I get the underdog thing, but it’s sometimes amazing to watch the greats at the top of their game, push the boundaries of what’s possible.

We’re very lucky that in our lifetime, we’ve had the likes of Tiger Woods, Ronnie O’Suillivan, Roger Federer, Lionel Messi, Phil Taylor, Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne….

Perhaps growing up with Davis and then Hendry dominating too much I got a bit bored with the game and feared Ronnie would do the same. I like my snooker to be attritional rather than super fast, probably why I like test cricket over T20. But that’s talking about the matches themselves, not the quality of the individual players where Ronnie is a joy to watch when he’s on form. Clearly superior to anyone else. That said I don’t really have a favourite player, possibly Selby or Mark Williams I would root for over anybody else.
 
I'd love to see him win another world, he deserves to be just ahead of hendry in the record books in that respect.
Not got anything against hendry, but I know who I'd rather watch.
