Ronnie plays on Monday at 7pm.

how will he find the motivation for that one. 128 draw. bo7.

he is mentally damaged. JH the better player atm and has a chance to win the WC.


Thankfully Ronnie has a different mindset than you. He's a champion. Champions are defined by being tough, believing in themselves and getting back up after being knocked down. Your attitude is bucking disgraceful!

I don't buy into this idea that Ronnie's game goes downhill in finals lately.

The truth is he's been patchy throughout all the rounds for all of 2016, it just happens that his best form as come in R1 or the Semis, and not the Finals. It happens, and he won 7 frames today apparently playing "crap", against the 3rd best player there's ever been in my opinion.

Ronnie will definitely win a title this season. Definitely.

Higgins? Either he'll win nothing else this season or he'll win thw Worlds.

That was typical BBC. They were desperate to get that emotional, 'fairytale' ending. Hazel virtually goaded Higgins into tears.

Has ROS left the arena , not waiting until Higgins lifts the trophy? I think thats a good sign actually. It shows me, that he's really snake hissed off and in that mood he's always trying harder.

Higgins was playing utter garbage for years. Yet he's back to winning elite tournaments now. Just think about that. Or do you honestly believe Ronnie is a lesser player than Higgins? If you do your out of your mind.

Might be a good sign the loss bothering him but pretty classless to leave. :td:

Might result in a fine for unsportsmanlike conduct....what happened last time he did it?

Which is why I said it was bull when he said "I don't care if I win or lose."

If it meant nothing to him he'd play the way he does in practice.

He obviously cares, he just wants to relieve the inordinate amount of pressure that's always on him.

Bucking disgraceful.

He did the same at the Masters 2010.


Very unsporting. It shows he's very snake hissed.


Yes and he usually tries even harder after that.. we shall see...

The only positive is both these tournaments Higgins won weren't rankers,,, otherwise he would be on 30, 2 above Ronnie.

It was the Mastersfinal 2010 right? If I remember correctly, there wasn't any fine.

Its disrespectful , no doubt. But you know, ROS has been critizised a lot here these last days and people thought he doesn't give a damn about winning or losing. This obviously shows that he still has these competitive insticts inside him. The key difference between now and 5 years ago is that hes now smiling in front of the camera and these things. But hes still the same man and thats good to know.

yeah give more light into the garbage play he has been presenting. he has been mentally kanckered. tough to overcome.

JH reaches two finals in 6 days and wins both. ronnie reaches two final in span of one month and loses both. had a lead going into the evening session in bot. he cant cope with the pressure atm

till the wels open win 2014 i was postive about his chances. but the loss to selby signalled something. he won some tournaments after that but never looked the ronnie of 2012-2014.

All in all, I thought that was a fabulous tournament.

Generally a very high standard, (even today every frame but one had a 60+ break I think?) the table played generally very well, the coverage was excellent.

2-3 more years like this and the CoC will be considered a major.

Re: Dafabet Champion of Champions Final !!!!!!

And for those who think Ronnie is finished... think again!

2 Finals in little over than a month, and not +laying is A game.

He will win at least a title this season, garanteed.

I just want him to produce his A game in a Final again and not just Semis like in Romania and here.

Spot on.

I don't agree with this unsportsmanlike conduct nonsense. It's not even a real thing. It's one of those mythical things that someone invented a long time ago.

Besides I doubt his opponent Higgins cares too much about it and nor should he. He has the trophy and the winners cheque.

Obviously Every player would like to immediately leave the arena after a loss but as a "gentleman" you just stay until your opponent lifts his trophy. At least waiting until your opponent is finished with his speech.

The fact that he respects Higgins more than any other player but still did this makes it little a bit more special imo.

But as I said. I think, this is a good sign. The man still wants to win, he wants to produce. He hates losing. That's the O'Sullivan I wanna see. As long as he has this attitude , losing matches dont even bother me that much.

Only when he deserves it like every other player.


Pisses me off a bit the amount of dissecting Ronnie Good or Bad thats happening on line.
