I want Ronnie to win another world championship just to cement his legacy as the greatest. That said, I'm glad he's out. He just didn't seem to be in the mood this year. He's a very on/off player and his demeaner around the table wasn't great. I think I saw him pot the white more than any other ball.
As much as I enjoy watching him play, he's a proper mardy and only seems to be doing it for the money these days.Stan the Bat said:

I'm usually a massive ROS fan but for once i think he should put his money where his mouth is. Retire, leave, go to China, UAE or where ever will pay him the most ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzSay what you like about Higgins but I do enjoy watching him because he genuinely cares & puts his heart into it.
I’m willing to forgive a greedy decision over a decade ago, that in fairness he wouldn’t have sought out if a tabloid hadn’t set him up. Lance Armstrong he isn’t.
O’Sullivan just sounds like a brat.
I’d like to see Bingham win because I’m a fat bald man too.
Seriously any one of the last 4 would be worthy winners & would absolutely cherish the opportunity to even appear in the final.

The thing is, he's 48, he's also probably well aware of how long he might have left at the top level, and it's quite possible that in the near future Saudi might come in and offer big money - but his time might have already passed. Would you be happy watching some number 40 in the world making more money than you ever did knowing you could still probably beat them?
It doesn't surprise me he might be trying to get them to hurry up. Imagine retiring then two years later Saudi come in and everyone's suddenly making flipping great wodges of cash for being not very good.

Interesting what has happened to the Class of 92, none got past the quarter finals.
Times are changing.
Isn’t Bingham in that group? Times are changing.

A f
king disgrace
Exactly that.king disgrace As I said earlier in the thread, he should have received the same sanction as his manager Pat Mooney i.e. a lifetime ban from snooker.
ks, It's not a fking disgrace, and no he shouldn't. They both got set-up, and he didn't know even about the meeting etc in advance. He got the fine and 6 month ban for his part in the whole thing, but didn't actually fix/throw a match. Mooney could have taken him down with him, but thankfully didn't.
But obviosly the armchair experts know better than the authorities.
