Can never have the decency to attend tournaments or appreciate his fans support.
Was watching a program called top 100 most annoying people of 2010 and he actually came 63rd on there! was funny.
Im just getting slightly annoyed and bored actually of him and his actions. Dont get me wrong he is still great when in full flow putting all his concentration into the game.
Opinions...
You really want my opinion?
I'll probably get criticised for my opinon on the matter, but here it is...
I've always been annoyed by him. I saw some of the show you refer to, and just turned on it time to catch Ronnie's mention, and still say he shoud be higher then he is. I've never been a Ronnie fan, and I never will. That's not to say I am an extreme hater, I'm not. Credit where it's due. And I won't criticise something he does, just for the sake of it. I agree with Monique. The criticism of his pulling out of the Championship League is a bit over the top. It's a qualifying tournament for a tournament he automatically qualifies for. If anything, it was a bit of a mystery why he entered anyway. And, I hadn't even realised Mark Allen had pulled out. Which I think indicates; a) This tournament isn't that big a deal and b) However much I dislike Ronnie, there are people that are willing to complain about him for no reason. These people are equally as annoying as people who say he is beyond criticism just because he happens to be the best player out there.
Saying that, pointing out that Ronnie gets in the papers more because he's such a big name player, and Mark Allen leaves this tournament to deafening silence are somewhat simplistic notions. We're talking about Ronnie. A guy who during his career has assaulted referees, has walked out on a match that people have brought tickets to watch him play in due to the fact he is losing, has attended press conferences whereby he has spent the whole time talking about his penis and laughing about it, has almost refused to pot a black in a 147 to make a point about the lack of prize money on offer for it (despite the fact that there are more opportunities for all players to earn money this season), has attended press conferences to promote snooker events only to have himself quoted as saying the number one tournament in the sport is boring etc....
I do hate this "Poor old Ronnie, why can't we leave him alone?" attitude. I'm surprised we haven't got some camp blonde guy online going; "How bucking dare you? He's been through so much..." (Remember him?
) But I really don't understand, how even the most ardent fans of the man cannot understand why people would dislike his personality. He acts like such a bucking div most of the time. I can enjoy watching him play. Ronnie vs Higgins is my favourite rivalry of all time. But Ronnie, unlike fellow serial annoyance Murphy, can annoy you half way through a game. (For example, conceeding with 13 reds on the table.) At least Murphy plays the game, and has the decency to refrain from being annoying until the interviews after. That way you can watch the game, and turn him off.
