Will he.....won't he???

it will be very interesting wild, there were some rumours of a secret meeting ronnie had with barry hearn where he agreed to play the bbc majors , anyway all will be revealed next week

Organising it 4 days in advance is a bit odd.

Anybody want to take bets? My money is him willing to play in the WC but that being his last ever tournament.

its been mentioned if a player decides to enter a press conference isn't necessary just enter it.

either its a Barry Hearn Publicity Machine which its well Possible or its very BIG.

But i think he wil annouce his full retirement from snooker at the presser

He's playing at the Crucible

I hope so, but I will only be certain of that when I see him there. It's not so much that he's "changing his mind all the time " - at least not just for the sake of it - it's that his mood is up and down a lot and with it how he feels about things. That's also why even people around him have different perceptions.

yea but that doesn't add up to the sort of personality Ronnie has.


would he call a press conference Just to say that?

surely there's more to it than just that

Sonny wrote:He's playing at the Crucible

I think that much is obvious, but is there any more to it would be my question.

Indeed wild, there is certainly more than wether he will play at the Crucible or not. I rather expect a statement about the future: retirement, reduced schedule? ... We can only wait and see though.

That's not true.
In York last season there was no need for the "balcony policy" to make it look full , this year there was. And in Germany the crowd in the first 3 days was not even half of what it was last season.
I know it's not the official discourse, but it's what I and everyone who was present have seen.
I'm NOT saying that it's because of Ronnie. It might be because people have less money and prices of the tickets have increased. But it's the truth: in every event I've attended BOTH last season and this one, there was LESS audience this season than in the previous one whatever WSA wants us to believe.

Monique if tats true in going to accuse world snooker of being dishonest. And tell them that you say so.

York was no different, they didn't open the balcony last year because the stalls sold out, they just closed it this year out of spite because most people prefer to sit there.

i think ronnie will come back, i hope he does as the wc won't be the same without him there to defend it. i give him a chance of winning but tbh i think the winner will come from selby, robbo, judd or john higgins ,

John Higgins?

apart from the pattern since 2007 i cant see that happening.

If Higgins gets a draw like Ronnie did last year then he has a chance.

If he is going to retire I hope he plays one last time in Sheffield, that would be a better way to sign off on his career.

casey

Agree ronnie did have a cake walk part from robbo match

Sky confirm ronnie will defend his world title


TYPICAL SKY THEY STEAL RONNIES THUNDER

HAAAAAAAAAA

I'm curious about this press conference. There has to be more to it.

BBC confirm he will play

Was there any more to it or did he just announce he was playing at the Crucible? Whatever, he sure does enjoy the limelight.

robbos odds for worlds getting bigger already

ronnie

monique says he doesn't enjoy the limelight but i think this confirms he does.

for a player that has personal problems that took him away from the sport for almost a year to then do this is baffling.

thats why i thought there was more to it than just saying "im going back to work"
