Care to add any context to that post or do you not really know?
Hey man, I didn't mean to be dismissive, fair play for calling me out. It was more a flippant dig at Baddy just agreeing point blank with your post, when I thought it had problems.
I'm not sure if you've watched any of Ronnie's interviews after his matches this season, or his punditry on Eurosport. He conveys a genuine love for the game in these spots, and his desire to improve, even in what is realistically the November of his career, is to be admired. A proper student of the game. Earlier this year, for example, he was saying how's going into the pack less, tweaking his break-building (and picking them off Ray Reardon-style) and this is the guy who is the most successful break builder ever, and it's still not good enough for him!
Sure, he says some twattish things, and these get reported the most, because it's clickbait. And yes, he's been guilty this year of playing a bit kamikaze at times. But in recent months he's knuckled down and his last couple of tournaments, where you could see he was trying his heart out to get in the 16 for the Players... until Holty upset that little plan.
Calling him 'tedious and boring' when he has supplied, as ever, some of the most exciting play in the last two years is just plain wrong, in my opinion. The Tour Champs last year, less than a year ago, the match with Judd with the black ball finish when he came from 6-2 behind, was one of the most exciting matches ever (not just my opinion, we had a poll on the forum recently.)
At no point in recent times, as your post states, as he talked about hating the game. Quite the opposite in fact. So yes, I thought your post had problems.
