No criticism of O'Sullivan himself as he remains a fantastic player, but how pathetic does it look for the sport that a 50-year-old man can show up after two months and cruise into the semi-finals? And might end up in the final against another 50-year-old?

This just shows he's the GOAT of this sport.

He is the greatest of all time, but the sport is also in the sewer water. Two things can be true at once, Johnny.

It's shocking stuff. He isn't playing at all well and he has won 25 frames out of 34.

Well, look at it this way, should Pang be in the QF instead? A 13-4 destruction says otherwise and too heavy of a deficit. O'Sullivan isn't playing bad snooker, he's hot and cold. There is a difference.

Outright bad snooker is something like Selby's level against Woolaston. Selby could not get anything going, across 2 sessions he played at the same rubbish level. O'Sullivan looks average for a few frames then switches it up.

He's not playing well by O'Sullivan standards. I've seen him play five times as well but get a tougher time of it than he's currently getting. It has been a woeful effort by the opposition because the strength in depth just isn't there.

Which I find really weird, because through most of the rounds there's been really stunning match-ups. The kind of match-ups you rarely see even in a good year.

But in almost every one, one of the players has played like dogshit.

It was only the Scottish and Welsh he skipped really. And the shootout, if that counts.

Does the Shootout count
For anything?

Illegal streams? Why are you not paying to watch your favourite sport? Snooker is a business, you know.
