Ronnie O'Sullivan in dispute with the authorities.

Brief interview on BBC Radio 4 just now, Ronnie explaining his dispute.

There is a full interview on BBC2 at 7pm tonight (Wednesday)

Shame, because I do enjoy watching him play.

He certainly isn't cursed by excessive modesty, that's for sure. I just enjoy watching him play, but it sounds as though a falling out with the authorities is coming which will lead to him chucking his toys out of the pram and spending a lot more time in China playing pool.

A Seniors competition is being broadcast on TV Channel 5.

Some interesting snooker to watch, but why do they have to take it down market?

Higgins and Allen's off table behaviour is the primary reason for my dislike of them.

Why, what have they done?

He was his usual...I'm not bothered/talking crap self as usual sadly.

I thought he said he was tired. He has been backwards and forwards to China for some time.

Same, and I just struggle to listen to the crap that always seems to come out of his mouth. He is to snooker what Brendan Rodgers is to football I reckon!

He is still an unreal snooker player though for sure, although Stephen Hendry will always be my number 1 snooker player.

He is probably fed up with the same stupid questions being asked time and time again.

Why they pay that Rob Baxter bloke I fail to understand.

Who is the bloke in the terrible suit asking the questions?

And they are always the same questions!

"His lead is reduced to 4-3".

No, it isn't. It's reduced to 1.

Just watched the Trump v Cao game.

I fell asleep twice and they were still going when I woke up. Dear me!

It went on for ever.

Unfortunately as I mentioned on the proper snooker thread (what happened to it?) I think they are lining him up to be a commentator; he’s done a few guest spots already.

So we’ll be seeing him for the next 40 years.

I think this is a very nice snooker thread...

It is intended to be a generic rather than an event specific thread.

Well done ROS - he is a bit of a genius but I'm getting a bit bored now. I used to think he was fun but I'm not so sure now. I'll be supporting anyone else in the next tournament. Literally anyone.

What for? Why? What difference will it make?

What I do - if I am allowed to, that is...

I record the snooker, I fast forward through the intelligence insulting chat beforehand, I watch the play, I fast forward through the interval. I turn off at the end of the play.

Job jobbed and no mindless chat to listen to.

So I dont keep seeing the same bloke win.

I think I may have some news for you.

You not supporting him, will not make a difference to him winning.
