Should O'Sullivan be forced to play back to back sessions tomorrow?

Yes. Of course he should (others have and not grumbled).

O'Sullivan should bring a lawsuit (Barry Hearn should be taken to court over gross unfairness).

Bring the Selby/Robertson morning session forward to 6am so O'Sullivan and Williams can start at midday.

Vodka's obsessed with Ronnie. Has been for years. It's a bit sad, really.


Don't mind him, it's quite funny really.

O'Sullivan wasn't consulted first. He has been treated like a 'Lab Rat'.



How is he a lab rat? It happens to somebody in the quarter finals every year. Last year it happened to somebody else. Next year it'll happen again.

Was Judd Trump a lab rat when he played both sessions of his opening match on the first day as World Champion? That happens every year as well.

It shouldn't happen. O'Sullivan is right to stand up for his rights. Players have routines that they follow before each and every session and when they finish sessions. You could equate the end of a session routine to the 'Post Ejaculatory Refractory Period'. A player needs to rest at this point. And then there is no time to follow their routine leading in to a session. Hearn doesn't understand this as he is a creator of money and not a creator of art, like O'Sullivan is.

Am I the only one who has been watching snooker for longer than a season?

Well, what more proof do you need that it happens every year?
