Ronnie O'Sullivan 2019 The Big Interview

[@amarsbarr]

Great interview I spend hours watching and hearing Ronnie talk. Super legend look up to him a lot met him 3 times

[@DigitalUnderground7]

One lucky person here :) I've watched him since the 90's and would love to meet him. Without a doubt one of, if not, the greatest player of all time.

[@nikkicharnock7329]

I love rob Walker his face when he interviews people is so lovely you can tell he is so interested into the conversation ☺️

[@davidlane147]

He’s so humble. He doesn’t realise he’s the best there’s ever been

[@philjones45]

The one thing he isn't is humble. A great player, but arrogant and an ego maniac.

[@deanarnold10]

Humble 😂

[@davidlane147]

Phil Jones Stephen Hendry is arrogant. He said he’s the best player ever, you’ll never hear Ronnie say that. Ronnie said he was better as a teenager and he wouldn’t even accept the fact that he’s the best player in history

[@TyroneKing1977]

@@davidlane147 In one program he said he knows he's the best in the world and he doesn't have to play to prove it. I like him more as he has matured but couldn't stand him for years.

[@ubersteve3265]

He's taken his meds for this interview

[@gerryvanderzeypen1214]

picks up his "lunch bucket", goes to work, punches in, and takes care of business in HIS line of work.... a real natural, way to go Mr. O'Sullivan! Been great watching you perform on YOU TUBE and it relaxes me as I watch. Thanks for being A GREAT ENTERTAINER!!

[@victorymansions]

To me Ronnie O'Sullivan is the 'Johnny Marr' of snooker. A total magician at their skill, yet very straight to the point when talking about it.

[@cowgate]

Ronnie was put on this earth to play snooker and to entertain the fans. Guys a genius

[@daveytrump6516]

HES SO HUMBLE!! HE HATES IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY HES THE BEST!! HE PULLS HIMSELF DOWN, I DONT THINK HE KNOWS HOW SPECIAL HE IS!! RONNIE IS THE BEST PLAYER AND THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER RONNIE!!!

[@alanhock5760]

Greatest player ever. Many people including myself only watch snooker if he's playing. Be a sad day when he retires

[@TheJGEdits]

Ronnie 'you know' o'sullivan

Easy to be humble when everyone you meet tell you that you're the best ever. Let's see what he'd be like if no-one noticed him.

I'll never forget that game with Peter Ebdon when he asked a member from the crowd for the time because Peter was taking so long between shots lol. He had a watch on his wrist haha!

[@mickmcdonagh1557]

Steve davis is right there is nobody near good enough to replace Ronnie when hes finished playing and probably will never be...every snooker fan will always argue/ debate over who is the greatest player ever ??? Take arguably the best three Ronnie davis and hendry if they was all playing at there best Ronnie would wipe the floor with them

[@elliotbullman4765]

Ronnie´s low self-esteem comes from years of parental neglect

[@michaelhill6980]

😔

[@Steven-ze2zk]

Nope. He was loved, supported and nurtured by his parents. Take it from me, a victim of parental abuse, Ronnie O'Sullivan does not have any psychological issues resulting from childhood parental neglect or anything like it.

[@the_alchemy_method]

he was practising with ebdon for weeks before the 2013 world championship

[@therub2191]

And they only played two frames

[@Klappi1]

1:37 But he IS the best breakbuilder for sure...

[@CityStarrzz]

No, he's right. He isn't the kind of break builder he considers as "The Best". Not that he's never had moments where he can do it, but when Hendry was on form, he DOMINATED. He would be left a long pot, pot it, land on the black, and then proceeds to aggressively smash up the pack, and creates a break in which nothing ever really look out of place. Ronnie, as I said, has managed this in spates. Ronnie doesn't seem to understand his own talent very well though. Ronnie is like Hendrix... He plays as much on feel as knowledge. Obviously he's learned things, but he's not a cookie cutter, by the numbers break builder. Instead, he quite calmly plays on what's available, by aiming for sectors of the table. Ronnie run's out of position often, so he altered his game to stop playing on individual reds. He instead plays on groups, and finds those positions better than anyone else in the game. He doesn't need the pinpoint accuracy at all times, because it takes a lot of that pressure off. Unfortunately, he seems to see this as a weakness... when it's his biggest strength. Ronnie is also best when he's in charge... You can't beat a confident Ronnie without throwing him off kilter. It's just not possible to dominate him if he's on form. This was as true of Hendry as it is Selby. The man will not give himself the positive reinforcement required, but just like some people have anxiety and depression, and others can't relate... he can't relate to being able to be so confident he tells his missus to pack his dinner jacket like Hendry would have done. He's never felt good enough, yet everyone in the game tells him he's the most naturally gifted player of all time. Which is a massive kick in the teeth when he's sat and studied other peoples games, his own, found flaws, made changes to fix them, wins, and is then told "oh well you're the most naturally gifted player ever, so it's kind of expected now mate... Which just takes all the glory out of it. Obviously this is just how I see it, and it's filled with armchair psychology... But ask yourself how you'd feel if you put your heart and soul into something, had a very fraglie level of confidence, and were then told none of it was done by hard work, and you're just a weirdo with a natural talent. You'd be pretty shitty about it too.

[@sugs1191]

He is not the best breakbuilder he is a close second. He is perhaps the best safety player.

[@jasonantigua6825]

CityStarrzz Come again

[@broyout3586]

@@CityStarrzz Thanx, lots of truth in there. Never looked at it like that. Probably a reason people take to him in spades. A bit like Alex Higgens and Jimmy White, there is a fragility in them you just can't help but want to embrace. But support in the form of lauding him to give him confidence doesn't actually help him. The feeling he's only reached part of his full potential, yet breaking almost every record out there. A truly amazing sportsman.

[@Klappi1]

@@CityStarrzz Very good points there. Of course Ronnie himself wouldn't admit to being the best at anything 😀 But on break building the stats are on Ronnie's favour. At this moment, him and Hendry both have 1270 matches played on cuetracker so the comparisons are there. Of course 'peak' break building is harder to judge. Although Ronnie says he'd rather have Hendry's career, I'm glad he's had longevity. His success despite all the bad spells(and farm work) in between is incredible. I wasn't there to witness Hendry's dominance so I am naturally biased 😊

[@amigodawn1728]

This guy sent Stephen Hendry into retirement. Ronnie is much better than Hendry because Hendry, Davis etc had lower class players to match against. Let's face it the likes of Dennis Taylor, Terry Griffiths, John Parrott would never have stood with half of today's players? The standard is very high today compared to then. As much as Ronnie is moody and unpredictable, he is the greatest player to have lived. Players to watch out for in the future are, Thepchaiya Un Nooh. Xiao Goudong. Mark Allen. Neil Robinson. Judd Trump.

[@puddleofmudd5215]

[@garygwin1741]

It's A Real Crime that Pool isnt regarded in this way. Props to Ronnie and the Fans of Snooker.

[@felenti4956]

Stephen Hendry the best ever

[@pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591]

Ronnie's interpretation of his life are so far off the mark, it's unbelievable. Like he said I can't go out thinking that I'm going to win in advance, and take my dinner jacket... What he did was pot a red, and ask what you get for a 147 break... that's thinking in advance that you can't miss! So I think there's something wrong with his brain, but that maladjustment helps him to win snooker.

[@jhonclark5125]

Until he wins 7 world titles he will be annoyed by the game. I think he will get 8 at 47. And what a lesson to people if you take care of yourself eat properly sleep properly and work properly he overturned the snooker world a player peaks at snooker between 35-45 if you look after yourself. Can't believe he not wearing glasses he obviously not a wanker

David Mellish never say never I but I honestly think he hasn’t got the mental capacity for the worlds no more, I’ll be proved right

[@LawnBowlerUK]

Dan Ward I agree with you. I'd like to see him win a couple more. Win the most titles, and be the oldest winner would be fantastic, but I highly doubt it'll happen. Don't think he has the concentration for those long matches anymore.
