Snooker Ronnie O'Sullivan 147 break UK Championship 15.12.07

"It was nice to give the crowd something to cheer about at the end," said O'Sullivan. "This is a great venue and a great tournament but my snooker tonight was not great, it was so poor. I played 16 poor frames but everyone now will be talking about the 147 so I feel like I've cheated, or taken a short cut. I'd rather have won 9-3, playing solid and not making any unforced errors. "The first black in the 147 was a blind shot but it wasn't as hard as it looked. It was 8-8 and I felt like I wanted to get something out of the game, to go out in a blaze of glory. Once I got to 40 I decided to go for it, and I felt a few butterflies which was good. "It's nice to get to eight 147s, I'd like to get to double figures, maybe get one at the Masters and at Sheffield and make four this season. "Mark had the upper hand for most of the match, he's a tough competitor, you don't get to a world final otherwise. At 6-3 I was losing it, really struggling. There was no fluency, no power or finesse in my shots. I was a foot out on some of my positional shots." As for the match with Maguire, O'Sullivan added: "Stephen said in an interview that he's been watching me and noticed I'm giving away chances. He's right, and only a few people would recognise that. I've been playing quickly and scoring ok, which has camouflaged the fact that I'm making a lot of mistakes. The bookmakers will make me favourite for tomorrow but I'd make Stephen favourite. If I play like I did today I'll get beaten because Stephen is a winner." Selby said: "It was a brilliant end to the match. I've had a good week and I wouldn't change anything. At 7-5 I had a good chance in the balls and after that it seemed to change." http://bux.to/?r=LinuX0702

I agree with one thing you said there: he is one of the best of all time. NOT the best. NOT the greatest. NOT the most skilled. NOT the most entertainer.I'd put him on 4th place with John Higgins. 1st Hendry, 2nd Davis, 3rd Reardon, 4th ronnie/Higgins.

What are you talking about? Kim Il-Jong packs seats wherever he goes too.

of course ive heard of the premier league! and if ur gonna go down that road then u also forgot to mention the pot black tournament. but those are 2 totally different tournaments to the main tour, and ronnie sells tickets and packs the seats throughout the whole tour. the fans turn up to watch him play, and when he's finished playing, they go home again.

Thank you sir, but I think I will leave it to the doctors (and maybe neurosurgeons if his condition persists) to read those postings and conduct a proper diagnostic of his condition.From a layman's point of view, it seems that he is still suffering from post-traumatic shock and the words "Ronnie O'Sullivan" "genius" "147" etc. trigger rabid attacks from him at anything in front of him. Simply put, his condition is worsening and the neurosurgeons may have to take over soon.

AntiFanBoy, you are a real jerk, who thinks that he knows everything about snooker. Rommie O'Sullivan is one of the best players of all time. He started playing as a professional when he was at the age of 15 (earlier than the others), because he has a talent and born-to-play skills. If you really think what you wrote, than I suppose you always sit on your sofa in front of the TV, watching football, eating pizza and melting in your own juices and shit!...

@EnhydraLutris1 If you want to see the comment, just click on "spam" and then a "show" option comes.

You obviously never heard of premier league.

Oh my, it appears all of AntiFanBoy1's postings have been rated -6 and not readable. I wanted to see if has recuperated from the trauma of being sodomized with snooker equipment. Expert opinion says if one sign he is still traumatized and angry at O'Sullivan is if he continues to troll O'Sullivan videos and randomly posts insults and attacks other posters. Guess it will take a long time for him to heal. God bless.

just goes to show that ur not a real snooker fan - theres never one match straight after the other
