In my opinion Ronnie O'Sullivan is the greatest sportsman ever lived…๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ง๐
Who is the miserable guy on the left….
Legendโคโคโคโคโคโคโคโค
It's the attention span Ronnie 12:00. Your average British kid has been born with gadgets, so snooker isn't appealing. In China, kids have a better attention span. Therefore, snooker is appealing.
3 books about what ? The beginning the middle and the end?
By far the greatest British sportsman about
The reason Snooker is losing popularity in the UK is because all the clubs are shutting down. Ridiculous rates and rents on commercial properties is the main cause. Business is being suffocated in this country.
The problem is there are no snooker halls anymore. Is there one where you live?
Always nice to hear from The Rocket, but the childish UPPERCASE nonsense words in the title are just pathetic. "REACTS" "BRUTALLY HONEST"??? He says what he thinks, no drama whatsoever. You still have so many subscribers so you don't need me…๐
How do I order the book Ronnie, and will you sign it please ๐๐ป๐๐ป

How this guy has never won the BBC sports personality of the year is a joke
We are further along with mental health than we were but we are still a long way off
Iโm glad Jim white wasnโt on because he would be butting in every second
Ronnie has always talked down how good he is and his achievements
'you're very humble' said to the biggest ego in snooker ๐ shows she defo doesn't know the sport!! ๐
Crazy to think it works out he's won 2 trophies a year throughout his career, and the competition he's had to face has been relentless.
99.9999999% of the people watching the world snooker championship will be watching on TV and that would change to 99.9999999% if it was in a venue with 10x as many seats.
Regardless of where it's held, the vast majority of the revenue will come from TV deals, not ticket sales. In snooker broadcasting, the TV screen is largely filled with the table and next to no fans (except occasionally the front 2-3 rows visible behind the player and an occasional wide shot between frames). So there's no point having a bigger audience from the TV viewers perspective.
The existing crowd size already imparts more than enough atmosphere – making the venue bigger will make it more impersonal and potentially harder to control atmospheric conditions, and the people in the back row of the Crucible already view the table as a small green thing in the distance.
Improved facilities have been called for by some players but not the arena itself.
So there is an awful lot to lose on one side of the equation including the history and intimacy of the existing venue and on the other side as far as I can see is just a chance for an already rich man (Barry Hearn) to make marginally more money – he's a wheeler dealer and in all likelihood has some scheme in place to have greater control over a new soulless venue of his choice.
It ain't broke at the crucible – there's nothing to fix.
Russian sports people have been banned, so how can snooker players from terroist countries continue to play snooker in Britain
Think he is possibly the most talented sportsman this country has ever produced. I hope he one day gets that 8th world title but if not what a career
โ7x world champion, 8x UK champion, 8x Masters champion, 23 triple crown event winnerโ yeah cheers for adding those three massive numbers together for me love.
The greatest no doubt but an absolute clown ๐คก
I suffer with anxiety/depression and I know Ronnie has felt the same. In 2021 I got the chance to play him in an exhibition, so fought all my fears to play the frame but also used it to raise ยฃ1000 for MIND charity. 1 of my shots during the frame has 150,000+ views on YT and even John Virgo said it was a "Ronnie Special" afterwards ๐
Snooker's in a good place is it? …utter rubbish. Snooker has been left to die in this country and in 20yrs when there's no UK player in the top 30, people will wonder why.
There should be some regulation in place that helps entrepreneurs take old buildings and turn them in to venues.
Rileys in Stockport still has all the tables and balls in there.. just rotting. It's heartbreaking.
Snooker is an odd game. I play it ,i also play pool on an 8 foot table with 80mm pockets and darts.
I cannot watch pool on tv, booring as hell.
I love watching snooker and have done for 20 years but the players make the game, im just glad i like watching trump now otherwise i would watch very little. But darts is very good to watch any player! Not like snooker.
