Ronny obviously likes the interviewer. Probably the best ronny interview I've ever seen. Good vibe and questions.

[@georgejung5429]

True

[@rs-vp7re]

He's a pundit/analyst for Eurosport when he's not playing in the tournaments so he respects them for letting him on the channel

[@charliejames3294]

Over the moon for Ronnie, and love the way Collin interviews him too. You can tell he understands Ronnie the way he conducts the interview, unlike other presenters. Plus he gets a much better interview out of Ronnie also

[@andrewpulda7969]

The best Ronnie interview ever. Collin did a masterful job of questioning Ronnie on Ronnie's level, not using cookie cutter questions but using personal knowledge to let "Ronnie be Ronnie" but still expose his inner thoughts. No leading questions for rehearsed answers.

[@johnsrabe]

Andrew Pulda & Charlie James … I should have read your comments before I wrote mine! Yes, exactly.

[@joeloxig6872]

I'll be honest, i wasn't sure if Ronnie would ever win another world title but i'm so happy he has. I remember 10-15 years ago people were talking about how he had underachieved so i'm glad that in the past few years he has still kept his ability to play at a high standard and has started to break hendry's records. Enjoy him whilst you can.

[@reav3rtm]

@Rex makepeace I think the other person to beat Ronnie (apart from Ronnie himself) is Selby. Selby has enough patience and safety to counter O'Sullivan and get him impatient. There was also Higgins but he's taking risks now.

[@LaShoju]

It’s refreshing to see an interviewer talk about what Ronnie wants to talk about rather than getting annoyed that he’s not interested in what they want to talk about.

[@phezza2000]

Correct

[@garethparr649]

Yes very refreshing indeed. A nice change from the usual nonsense

This man is legendary. Everyone have something remarkable to remember him about snooker. Whether it's his fastest 147 record, or that fucktecular brilliant break of 92, or his famous maximum call of 147, can I know what's the prize money for maximum break, or his 1000 century breaks.. There are just too many too many things this man singlehandedly elavate snooker to this higher standard that we mere mortals would only dream of. Congratulations Ronnie. You are indeed The Best!!!!

[@thisis008]

True I still can't believe that 147 call against mark king.

[@johnsrabe]

A great interview. Yes, a few softballs, but he asked open-ended questions and then shut up and listened. And Ronnie responded by giving us something more intimate and inside the game. Thanks for this.

[@exsappermadman25055]

Ronnie mucked about too much when he was younger and missed out on a few titles. Now he has the experience to understand what it means. Well played and well deserved!.......

[@HannesW123]

[@Zhaggysfaction]

Since the 11/12 season, Ronnie has won a triple crown event EVERY season. I haven't heard someone talk about that. I think it's massive, All the talks is about him not playing in every tournament and then winning some but that has to be recognized in the highest echelon of achviements in snooker. Since when has this been done before? Only Hendry, Davis, maybe Higgins or Selby could've/could do it.

[@ivo7418]

You're right! And people say, even himself actually, he is inconsistent but this 9 year consistency in winning at least one of the three major tournaments shows he is very much consistent!

[@ozzyefc44]

He never won a triple crown in 2015

[@ozzyefc44]

Oliver McCall true but he never lifted a triple crown in that calendar year . Btw I’m not doubting his genius I’m a big Ronnie fan

[@Zhaggysfaction]

[@williamstdog9]

I love this interviewer because he genuinely loves Ronnie!! The respect and admiration is palpable 😊👍👏 And he’s not just trying to get “likes” or “clicks” like nasty media ppl can be .. it’s as awesome as when some of my favs on ESPN interview Roger after a Grand Slam win .. they treat him PROPERLY!! 👍☺️ Loved Ron’s honesty and the fact that his wife / partner supported him right till the end of the finals. FINALLY we get to see his woman by his side 👍So sad to see every other player’s wife and whenever Ron accepts a trophy she’s nowhere in sight .. so that was awesome to see 😊💥 KEEP GOING RONNIE!!! 🇨🇦🍻🥳

[@TheAlfsterino]

Nice interview. Especially talking about mental health - the worst thing about being introverted is being in front of large crowds and beating yourself down...I wish more interviews were like this where he can be open and honest and relaxed.

[@J0hnBrien]

Truly LOVE that Ronnie ended up walking away with it! I just wish there were ANYONE here in America that I could share my excitement with. 8->

[@haocai1574]

Dude, I hear you, and I am here with you, lol. Let us see if Ronnie could do it again next year.

[@elena16350]

The people of this country don’t what they’ve got, he is the most talented of sportsmen, wee been lucky enough to watch his wonderful skills, and all the media do is say things like how erratic he is. I don’t know if you know, but Ronnies father went to jail for a bank robbery, this was followed a couple of years later by his mother going to jail for whatever. Now these events wouldn’t be worthy of note, except there son was trying to become the best snooker player he could be, now there are so many things that could have derailed Ronnie, and at times he showed a lack of caring about the game, but , he got through all of that and became the player he has become. I’ve got no time for Pugh luck stories, but this has merit.

[@J.R.__]

I worry for the future of snooker once Ronnie is done with the sport. Snooker halls/clubs are closing up and down the country and kids these days don't care about snooker. Video games are taking over kids' interest. Who's going to be the next John Higgins, Mark Williams, Ronnie, Shaun Murphy, Selby, Fu or anyone? Ronnie said it himself that the new generation isn't talented enough. I wouldn't be surprised if snooker dies as a mainstream professional sport within the next 15 years.

[@mrpussinboots4252]

Spot on, couldn't have said it better myself. In my area alone 2 have gone in the past 8 years - the only 2 up here. Theres now non left Only a handful of pubs have a pool table but I wouldn't be surprised if it went in 10 years. Unless the China pros salvage it. Very sad indeed.

[@sebluketravis2438]

Ronnie MUST start some Merch with ''I need a new cue action'' or ''it's all about the cue action'' - i'd buy one of them t-shirts or mugs!!! Seriously this lad had a really tough child hood, people forget that backstory. Looking after his sister so young with his dad in prison whilst travelling everywhere to tournaments. What he has achieved in the sport especially with mental health issues is extraordinary. He absolutely should be Sports Personality of the year and also should be knighted when he retires. I imagine within the next few years which I think will be ('class of 92'-93 season) - 30 years. Be great if he could get another ranking, maybe UK to get to 8 and maybe 1200 centuries. All I know is it's been an absolute pleasure to watch him in full flow and I am happy he has found peace and solice in his life with Laila. Absolute genius , even Stephen Fry agrees!!

An absaloute legend. I hope he goes after hendry's 7. But that will be upto ron. The 138 he had at 16-14 down against selby in 7 minutes was snooker from the gods. Ok he got away with a smash. But he did it. 17-16. Nobody is going to tell ronnie to stop being ronnie. I pray he continues for the next 5 year. Even get 8 world titles. Fastest ever 147. Pure genius and 1 massive reason to watch snooker. Right handed, left handed. A cool half a million to for winning. Sweet. Please carry on ronnie. Big congratz for winning. 👍. Also i would say in 10 years china are going to be massive in the game. I always think niel robertson can do so much better. Tons of mental strenth, ability. I think he makes it to tough for himself at times. Looks for problems that are not thare. Just my opinion. I like niel and i think he will have a great spell at some point. Hope he does. But 2020 WC belongs to "The Rocket".
