How many could he have won if he really wanted to. Mental really
Not a word between the two of them there
CMOOOON ROOON!!!
They donāt get on apparently
Itāll be the first time Ronnie goes to the Crucible with the chance of winning the triple crown and emulating Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry (twice) and Mark Williams.
An 8th win at the Crucible in May also sees him move ahead of the 7 won by Stephen Hendry.
Itās hard to see Ronnie passing up on the history making opportunities there.
He was saying on Eurosport there that heās playing the World Grand Prix next week but after that heās not playing again until the Worlds.

So hard to no with that man. Was on total control again Brecel last year and stopped like he was shot albeit Brecel played very well .You really just never no what you will get with Ronnie. If his mind is fully right He will take all the beating for sure.
I think Taylor was driven by a want to constantly be the best. To me he practiced like fuck to meet that level. He obviously did have the ability as well.
But Ronnie is something else. The five minute 147 at the Crucible for instance. His ability to switch hands which was never done before in snooker. His control of the cue ball to me is his biggest quality. He has it on a string.

I think lads greatly underestimate the amount of practice Ronnie actually does.

Same as Taylor. The goats across sports all had huge talent, but its their work ethic and mental strength that set them apart.

Ronnie OāSullivan launched an astonishing foul-mouthed rant at Ali Carter after he was accused of āsnottingā on the floor in the Masters final.
OāSullivan beat bitter rival Carter 10-7 to claim a record-extending eighth Masters title and Carter claimed the eight-time world champion was guilty of a ādisgustingā action in the final frames.
āThere were a couple of things that happened out there that go unnoticed,ā Carter said.
āWell, they donāt go unnoticed but anyone with an eyesight or a brain can see whatās going on. And itās disgusting quite frankly.
āNo-one wants to say anything, do they? Snotting all over the floor and all that.ā

OāSullivan won Ā£250,000 for his Masters triumph but stormed out of the post-match press conference and gave Carter the middle finger after hearing of the claims.
āHe can sit on it as far as Iām concerned,ā he said. āI donāt give a fā. You know what heās like, everybody knows what heās like. Heās got issues.
āF------ why has he got issues with me? Iām not having it. I donāt care, grow some balls.
āI donāt give a fā. The more he brings it on, the more I f------ punish him every time.
āAbsolutely. Heās just digging a grave for himself. He needs to sort his f------ life out.
āThatās it, Iāve said my piece. Iām not going to skirt around it anymore, tip-toeing on egg shells around someone like that.
āPlaying snooker against someone like that is a nightmare. Heās not a nice person.
āItās not a nice vibe he leaves around the table. Iāve said my piece and youāre going to write what youāre going to write. I donāt give a sā. Iāve said it now, done.
āEnd of press conference? I suppose youāve got your headlines, havenāt you?ā

Earlier in the tournament, OāSullivan had hit out over the conditions at the venue, describing the 159-year-old Alexandra Palace as ādisgustingā.
He said: āI just donāt like this place. I find it disgusting. Everywhere is dirty. Itās cold. Itās freezing, I have to wear my coat everywhere. You go through car parks. There are bins. Honestly, it just makes me feel ill.
āIām a bit of a clean freak and when I come in here it gives me the heebie-jeebies. I just canāt wait to get out of here.ā
Carter is an absolute prick.
Ronnie on now
