There were other issues I wanted to raise, but that can wait!
Anyway, I think Ronnie will shock the world by, not only turning up, but also claiming the title.

yea the most hollow poor excuse for a World Champion snooker has ever had.
Absolute nonsense!
The World Championship is a 17 day event that happens in April/May.
What happens throughout the remainder of the season has no bearing on the WC.

Absolute bullocks of course it has a bearing Christ sake a World Champion should be a ambassador for the sport and promote the sport by turning up to events and not bucking about playing donkey doo exhos with Jimmy in Legends.
He does buck all for snooker sitting on his bottom twiddling himself.

Yes I do agree he should promote the sport, but then again he has nothing left to prove and he has indeed promoted the sport in the past when he played in almost every event, and you can't absolutely say he isn't a worthy world champion because like Jewel said that is a unique event that almost every time has no bearing in the rest of the season. A player could virtually win all tournaments in a season and then come to the Worlds and do nothing and go out in round 1, just goes to show how unique that event is, but I do understand your point that being World Champion he should play in more events. But like I said I'm not criticising Ronnie cause he doesn't have to prove anything else,

I know that Ronnie leads in H2H against Higgins but because of his desolate H2H against Higgins in the last years, I would like it, if he wins one more time against Higgins in a very big match. Something like WC, UK or Masters Semifinal/Final. This should be his final goal. To beat his great Rival one more time to prove that he is the better player. Actually he already is the superior player (very big majority of players and experts agree) and mainly because of his 5 World Title now but yet I don't want him to retire when people are talking that he couldn't beat Higgins since 4 years in a ranker.
