Ronnie O'Sullivan: Life Away from the Table | Snooker Vodcast | Eurosport

[@paulriggall8370]

Really enjoying these vodcasts, starting to kind of like Andy, or at least I'm able to listen to him without wanting to scream, which is an improvement.

[@madihahussain1092]

Ronnie was the best I saw him playing 2013 2014 world championships

[@seanmccombie6379]

he was amazing in those years escpailly in 2013 when he had pretty much a year out, the quarter final match vs Bingham was probably best match I have ever seen anyone play

[@gurdeepchumber2764]

His best period was 2017-2019 I'm sure he won 5 rankings titles......was beating everyone..

[@mrb018538]

Gurdeep Chumber he also got back to world number one playing half the tournaments of all the other top players. Machine. I agree 2017-2019 he was superb. This season he’s been pretty average by his amazing standards

[@gurdeepchumber2764]

@@mrb018538 Yes between 2017 -2019 were his best periods....yes he became world number & even smashed 1000 centuries!!!....looked at a podcast today by Eurosport where they interviewed Ronnie.....He basically said over the next few seasons he's going to try to play in as much tournaments as possible which is great news for the fans.....His game is great at the minute but you just can't play in less then half the ranking tournaments & stay up the rankings.....He did say he'd made a mistake as he wanted to play in German masters & European masters which he pulled out last minutes.......this season Ronnie said he's actually played well won a tournament,1 final,2 semis & quarters too......ranked 18 is brilliant when you've only played in a handful of ranking events..

Fair Play. Always craved a Full Size Snooker Table back in the day tbf, but did have a Dart Board. The Priory eh. Broadway Lodge ftw, but glad he's a re-born Drinker keeping it in control etc. Phenomenal player and many hours/days spent watching this LEGEND tbf.👍. "G'wan RONNIE"...

[@flameassassin]

decent content, but i like how andy's sitting in front of his (i think) shure microphone and you can clearly hear that he's actually using the internal airpod mic for all of these.... eurosport professionalism at its finest 😅

[@malleureuse]

my thoughts exactly, and it looks like the Rode NT1A-mic (good choice, had he used it).

Quality interview. Good stuff Andy!!

[@studiolezard]

Regarding Steve Peters' involvement, I noticed that Ronnie took on an nice habit of smiling after he missed a shot, and on his way back to his seat. It's a good way to mitigate the feelings of anger.

[@clivesterclivester7419]

Invincible Ronnie 😎

[@jamesgoing4527]

Unplayable when on it and that's in any era against any player to date.....hes the most misunderstood person in snooker..... Hendry Davis never had any of this man's issues both politically perfect to the establishment😇never had any real competition they just turned up and won......imagine they had to play a Murphy Allen Perry Hawkins dott or Carter let alone players like Higgins Williams Selby robbo ding and trump...... 🙏 Ronnie thank you trust me your the greatest 19 majors says it all taking your honest storytelling into consideration not that I had any doubt👌your cue ball 2nd to none and your longevity is legendary great to see you so happy looking forward to the next 5 years so folks enjoy him whilst you can he's the governor nó doubt👍

[@Harry-jz1dn]

The same unfair, weak argument given about Hendry as usual. I've watched snooker since the late 80s onwards. Everyone (like you have done) ONLY rates Hendry solely on who he played and the weaker opposition of that time. YOU CAN ONLY PLAY WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU. If the opposition is weaker it doesn't mean you are are a weak champion. To make fair comparisons you need to take Hendry on his own merits and his own game, high breaks, 147s, safety. Then you take his will to win and his temperament under pressure. Ronnie himself couldn't believe how good Hendry was when he came into the game as a youngster. Peak Hendry would easily have risen his game and will to win against modern-day players, including Higgins, Ronnie and Williams and been a world champion. Sadly by the older Hendry got the less he cared about snooker, he'd won everything in the game already and played to keep the income in, practising nowhere near the amount he did. He's said as much in interviews. It's the same when people say Maradona could never have been world player of the year in the modern era because he only played against rubbish defenders.

[@sryan9213]

Hendry was definitely not politically perfect. He was spread on the front page of national newspapers in the 80s for misconduct (poppers, women etc) Hendry changed the game. No one can doubt that. 7 centuries in 10 frames in a final was peak. As Hendry was on the decline (2000s) he still put Ronnie in his place regularly. Peak Hendry wins world titles in any era as does peak O Sullivan obviously. Hendry was a born winner. O Sullivan is a genius no doubt, but has always had a sense of entitlement which has cost him on the baize. He knows now Trump is at his peak and he isnt. You'll see Ronnie in less tournaments now. Trump has taken the game to a new level.

[@jamesgoing4527]

@@Harry-jz1dn that's why Ronnie beat him at 17 the youngest ever to win a major upto that point hendry was beating Doug Mountjoy Terry Griffiths Mike hallett ffs will ya stop look at his finals record against Ronnie for example let alone any other great.... His main competition was a self proclaimed pissed up Jimmy White who he beat 4 times so give over he just had to turn up back then....in the modern era he wud of competed with a Perry Hawkins Dott Carter Wilson Allen and a Shaun Murphy but no chance dominating........he got the yips because the game the standard and competition got stronger......

[@hystericalwolf]

Ronnie's home life during the 90s was unfortunately his main downfall. But it forced the best out of him down the line.

[@mrb018538]

Yep. Read both of his autobiographies....he was a mess in the 90s. Both parents in jail, a fat slob who was drinking and taking drugs.

[@jamesgoing4527]

@@tonykplayter8019 I didn't want to know who practiced with I wanted to know who coached him and I do know now for about 3 years he was coached every day from the age of 9 by a guy called Gary Keeble unfortunately the guy has never ever had a mention in all the interviews Ronnie has done about his Talent so that's the man who put him where he is today

[@studiolezard]

I love Ronnie, but it's amazing how little remorse he has for the man his father killed. If not for the man, then for his family. You can take the man out of Bigotry, but you can't take Bigotry out of the man.
