Saying he’s got abit of a cold, wearing his coat in every interview, basically ways of making a point about the venue being cold and not up to standards, he’s unreal 😂😂
He's advertising the coat. He as is own clothes shop.
Believe me. I’ve been to the Alexander Palace. It’s proper freezing. I did not enjoy my visit.
He's right little diva
Thanks for explaining. I wouldn’t have realised other wise
Was at 2 sessions at the masters. It is absolutely freezing in the venue. Huge empty spaces, set up outside the one table set up is an absolute joke.
You can see Alan McManus doesn't like what O'Sullivan is saying, but it's hilarious. What he is effectively saying is "I'm so good I can play rubbish & still beat them!".
To some extent it's true, of course he is playing down his performance but the truth is at his best he's just untouchable.
I can imagine Ronnie's personality does grate on a lot of people on the tour but his talent and hardwork also does a lot of talking for himself. There's always some merit to what he says. Rarely is it worth totally disregarding what he says. McManus like most people probably envies Ronnie's ability.
He's also trying to annoy Hearn, who made him. He remains an employee at this tournament and hates it...
@@kwl189while hes obviously blessed with how naturally gifted he is, he put the hard yards of practice in like others when hes young and has years of experience. He is probably at the point in life that doing 6 to 8 hours practice a day would be of no additional benefit
McManus is a 100% purist about the game, I think it baffles him about how Ronnie can do what he does.
Ldoggmillionaire makes a very valid point in that also Ronnie has put in many years of hard work too.
Just a bit of fun reminds me of pep haha
Jimmy and Alan’s faces 🫢
😂
😂😂
I think Ronnie is good with the mind games also.his average game is alot better than quite alot of his rivals A games some talent indeed
Ronnie’s playing better mind games then managers do in football. Unreal stuff.
This interview is hilarious - "Ronnie, where's your joy at the table at the moment" - "It is playing absolute filth and still managing to win" LOL 🤣🤣
Ron is the ultimate…people must accept that.
This whole match and post interview was a shot at Shaun. You're daft if you can't see it. And point well made Ronnie, the greatest snooker player ever.
Ronnie's psychological game has really turned up leaps and bounds from what it used to be along with his match play and tactical awareness. Even when he's not firing on all cylinders, he makes it so hard and difficult for people to beat him and get over that line because he's not throwing in the towel.
@@RandomConversation. That was the point. He always had it in him but either because of outside problems sometimes beyond his control and not having a natural interest in that side of the game, the likes of Higgins, Ebdon, Williams and co would outwit and outlast Ronnie. That's changed since Ronnie started working with Dr Steve Peters and he's world class at it now. Think it's a massive reason why Ronnie is winning these days.
@@IronOrchid-HQ Still some way to go in the final yet. Far as I can tell when Ronnie has been genuinely outplayed and outgunned he's given credit to his opponent? His critics will be hoping for a defeat but it can turn around quickly in snooker.
@@IronOrchid-HQ many genius' are flawed by nature in some facet or another. It's extremely rare for someone to excel at the highest level in most if not all aspects of life. Ronnie says one thing but does another. As it turned out, he found his way and somehow bags another title. I'm happy that he won.
@@IronOrchid-HQ Ronnie seems to just have that option open to him to dig deep, and stay in the game like Higgins, Selby, Williams, Ebdon, maybe Paul Hunter was also good at it as well (hard to remember back now, even though I watched Paul Hunter play a lot growing up). Almost like a survival instinct of sorts. His progression on this side of the game isn't talked about enough at all because mindset and mental fortitude keeps the guys up at the top.
Genius on the table. Comedy gold off it!
I think it was Steve Davis who once said: "to play like there's no care in the world when it means everything". Ronnie cares, I wouldn't pay attention to what he says, it's part of his mental preparation. Remember before the Masters he said let's go for 888. would be nice to win all triple crown events in one season.
This is spot on, you nailed it
@@Thebatsign: Huh? What has COVID got to do with it?
@@MontyCantsin5Back to sleep monty you're not ready to wake up yet
@@shipit9937: Ah, more vague conspiracy theory nonsense. Next you'll be telling us that you're a critical thinker and that you 'do you own research'.
@@MontyCantsin5 Conspiracy is not a theory.
it must be hard for that guy on Eurosport to basically have the same interview with Ronnie after every game in every tournament for the last however many years. Ronnie is box office when it comes to watching him on the table, still a genius.
Ronnie loves trolling presenters, pundits, media he didn't even need to get out of first gear today absolutely smashed it.
Thanks for the summary, Stan...
but if anyone calls him out on it he hides behind "mental health"
Fuck McAvoy, Ronnie should have gone for the lead role in the film "Split"
As soon as McManus started talking Ronnie let out a massive sigh. He's been so passive aggressive in every interview since making the final and I love it.
I'm confused if Ronnie's personality is real or if he puts on a show to get people riled up
I think he alternates sometimes, that’s the impression I get. A bit like if you hear Bob Dylan interviewed, you haven’t a clue what he genuinely thinks. It’s always quite funny seeing the baffled expressions of the other pundits. Sometimes Ronnie just gets bored I think.
i think he gets a bit irritated by the boring formulated, vanilla questions. he's like marmite; people love him, people hate him and he's fully aware of that and i doubt he loses any sleep over it.
He seems bipolar to me.
I think he thrives on the controversy. If you look at other big tournaments he wins, there are usual some erratic, strange or critical interviews he gives. When he won the World Championship in 2020, he criticized younger snooker players on his way to winning the whole thing.
He's Bi-polar.
He just feels like Brando in interviews because although he has pride in what he does, the press wants to always manufacture stories from shreds of nothing, and he’s not conceited like most social influencers & celebrities today, so he brushes off comments knowing that whatever he says will be scrutinized a thousand ways and he hates that.
When true geniuses like Brando & Ronnie do what they do, and everyone in their respective professions are obsessed with finding their “secrets,” it just BORES them, so they come off as uncaring or inconsiderate, when they’re actually not. It’s also easy for them to troll the media, and they like to entertain themselves by doing this.
Just give them space, let them breathe, don’t smother them, and ENJOY THEIR GENIUS.
It’s a unique and special thing the rest of us get to witness.
Alan Mc Manus’s expression he was well pissed off with Ronnie again. Ronnie seems to talk more erratic to me when he’s lifting trophies and big money. Perhaps the Edge of everything documentary as gone to his head slightly? Latest comments by Ronnie “ I’m going blind, have a dodgy knee etc etc and the younger ones still can’t beat “ I got a reply the other day for mentioning in his documentary he mentions in a phone conversation Llandudno is full of old people and the guy who replied just couldn’t see how any elderly people might get offended by this. I still enjoy watching Ronnie like thousands of others but just think at times he really does let himself down with his comments whether he’s bored or not.
lovely seeing those aftermatch interview from ronnie, they are the best, people baffled about his "opinions" not even trying to understand his point of view
.
being the best in snooker for atleast over a decade including functioning as the main figurehead and holding on to that spot because you are just so dominant, there is no comparable sportsman alive. :)
He's having some fun.
he's so touchy and anxious. I think it's the mind-frame he's most dangerous in. Just like Hendry was a monster when he was winning, in a good way, Ronnie needs this.
doesn't seem healthy though
It's very easy to judge from the sidelines.
Shut up you muppet
Might be but his health is tip top based on his diet and exercise.
Ronnie o Sullivan is my hero i absolutely love him as a player so so good to watch, I'm a massive snooker fan. Although, I do find him quite arrogant sometimes his attitude his mannerisms, be a bit more humble mate Rodger Federer was unbelievable he was classy and humble sometimes Ronnie comes across like snooker ows him one. But I do love you Ronnie I hope to see you play before you retire
Ronnie again "struggling" towards another Masters title.🤣Yeah, it's alright.
Congratulations semi and lets got the trophy even against Allen can be harder when Mark on the top form as well.
What an interview. 🤣
Ronnie is simply trying to create a situation here and blow it out of proportion and with today’s media that will certainly happen! Never heard anyone complain about Ally Pally except him. Good old Ronnie stirring it up
It's a gift to make something so skilled look #effortless & #easy*
I agree with Ronnie he is bang average and still battering em.
😃
When he speaks like this, to me it sounds like he’s trying deflect a bit of pressure and tension off himself because he wants to win. He’s usually more vocal like this in the triple crown events. That’s what I have observed anyway.
I agree, while I think he always says what he thinks in the moment, there's always a bit of mind games going on - he definitely lived in Shaun's head rent free this afternoon.
Making a point with his Patagonia.
how so?
how? just a standard jacket 🤣
@@barryr10 he said the venue was cold
@@mikiex ah, makes sense mow
@@mikiex ah right
Thought the interviewer done a really pro and great job with a tough man. Tried to mix up the questions to keep Ron interested. He gets bored with stats type questions which sadly Hazel on the BBC had lumped on him a few minute’s before this “This is your 14th final how does it feel”. Not his buzz!
He must get sick of being asked the same questions time and time again
I saw just many snooker players have strategy for every match for every competitor or opponent.Ronnie is one of them.👋👋👋👌👌👌 He don't play same to all matches
So refreshing to read the comments and not see any negative 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼 Thee greatest snooker player any living human as of now will ever see 👏🏼
Tormented genius
Ronny has some balls on him, especially talking to Stephen hendry
They should stop interviewing ronnie. He doesnt give a shit about it and it shows...
Serenely into the final, an evening off to watch Allen and Carter battle it out to win the right to face him. Not a bad position to be in!
Top player, top bellend
Absolute Legend. I got a cold and can’t even get out of bed.. Ronnie gets a cold and goes on to win the Masters.. we’re really cut from a different cloth ain’t it..
The boy is a genius
Whatever the interviewer says to Ronnie he always says the opposite. He is the greatest player of all time but he's also the greatest whinger of all time. I get the feeling that Jimmy is starting to get fed up of Ronnie's constant whinging. Sad to say it but I can't wait for him to retire.
Big fan, but he really needs to stop moaning and giving the same reaction in every interview. I'm surprised they even bother talking to him any more. He's even moaning about what looks like the best venue on the calendar to me.
Jimmy loves Ronnie hes buzzing off Ronnies words, Alan's like don't say stuff like that Ronnie
Lets face it snookers only exciting because of Ronnie, I've said it before and I'll say it again, i wanna see Ronnie play snooker when he's in his 50s 60s and 70s!!!!....... and i've had a word with God regarding the Ronnie o Sullivan situation and the Almighty gave me a message to give him......"You must continue playing snooker because im in heaven and everywhere and enjoywatching you play and it pleases me Greatly"!!......thats the Lords wishes so now YOU HAVE TO keep on playing!!!!..... and to all the unbelievers who think Ronnie cannot win an 8th world championship the Lord has another message...." Oh yea of little faith"!!!!.Lol
Interviewer : "you're a real historian of the sport". EH?!
The token anchor is painful.
Trolling is what motivates ronnie. He’s got things balanced pretty well right now
Looking forward to this shoulder barging final
Doing things on his terms, fair play Ronnie. Really dont think the media ought to interview him tbh. He doesn't do what is expected of him, and why should he?
sir ronnie o'sullivan, the legend
He is amazing in his interviews
no fucks given, hes something else
2:14 lol
He's been talking like this for years about he's game just to p.ss the other players off he won't stop 😅
Why Eurosport have Ronnie on the team is a mystery to me; he invariably gives the impression of being bored and not wanting to be there, slouches in his seat and talks with his hand over his mouth.
He's good at playing snooker - not at talking about it.
That's your opinion Adrian
Regardless of how he comes across it's always worth having Ronnie in the studio
Without Ronnie being in the studio and able to do punditry he might not be gracing us with the performances he has had since he joined Eurosport. Aside from fact he is paid to be on eurosport, he gets to hang out with friends..remember the good presenters from the past..Andy etc..He gets to have a take away curry and watch a snooker match with his bud Jimmy. It is a massive coup having Ronnie giviing his opinion on snooker matches throughout his time on eurosport...Gold dust
Karen
The Maradona of the sport
McManus is not a fan of Ronnie sticks out a mile
McManus loves Ronnie. He just dislikes this Ronnie. Remember Ronnie has 2 personalities.
He is no doubt the best, most exciting naturally gifted snooker player ever,
But he really is depressing to listen to!
I get the feeling Ronnie is on the edge and the final could go either way. It's another needle match and he will need to be fully focused.
Might be worth a bet on Carter, this one. Thank me later.
Thanks!
@@juhoollilainen8055hope you didn't bet the farm?😂 I've never seen Ronnie play so bad and win a tournament!
Imagine if Ronniw won SPOTY , he would be just like this lol
At least it is a personality, most winners are generic.
He should not be forced to the interviews. Just sit at home and come play snooker tomorrow. It's unbearable to watch him speak sometimes. I love his game but his attitude towards in answering questions is quite annoying tbh. Just be a little bit nicer Ronnie, you're on the top of the mountain, just be grateful and speak from your heart.
Coat on 😂 GOAT
I like Ronnie, but, he also comes out with so much crap. In some ways I’d like to see him get beat so he shuts up. He says he’s not bothered about winning etc, so let’s have a player who appreciates it a bit more!
yeh, i never listen to him. contradicts himself: "i need a crowd, prefer no crowd, don't get nervous, get nervous, care, don't care."
@@j2shoes288
Wasn’t long ago when he said all the new, young up and coming players were useless, then he said the complete opposite about them several months later. Said he loves playing to the crowd and entertaining them, then says he hates playing in front of them. He’s like a woman, riding on a wave of emotions and blurts out whatever he’s feeling in the moment. He’s like a carrier bag flapping around in the wind.
All over the place.
I don’t take anything he says seriously these days.
@@VoiceOfThe What he was it's weird that the class of '92 who are all now in their 40's are still dominating the game because he would have expected new players to have emerged to knock them off their perch.
It's a very valid point.
too many touchy bitches watch snooker, you're the one coming across as a woman mate. It's not that deep
it's because the presenters come out with so much crap. especially that blonde woman on the BBC. seriously it's so boring. ronnie is not politically correct, pompous gent and i can understand why people hate him for that and also love him. it's always interested to see polarazing comments about him
I don't watch anyone else's games actually oh but ali played really well and played some good stuff 😂😂😂
Ronnie being ronnie 😂😂😂
He's rightfully fed up of how much better the infrastructure is in other countries.
The presenters keep trying to jolly O'Sullivan along & it's a complete waste of time - but they never stop trying which makes for a cringeworthy but very funny show. 😂
Wonder what David Vine would've made of him?
I know Ronnie has been doing these post match interviews for 30 years… I’m torn over the way he presents himself. If Murphy had been interviewed you’d get the super well mannered ‘ambassador of Snooker’ type of thing. Sometimes that’s gracious and nice. But sometimes you want a bit of punk rock.
I have to admit I am getting a little bit bored of Ronnie getting a little bit bored of these interviews.
2 things. His job was over from his point of view. Secondly he presented himself earlier. Cue in hand. This is not his job. It's a chore to him. When he is out of a tournament. He does the presenting job. In my view.
Yeh I agree with that. I guess my point was that being TV friendly is all very nice, but at the same time I’m glad that we have the enigmatic Ronnie. An argument could be made that it’s not super inspiring for a younger generation to see him when he’s being negative. But hey, at least he’s being real.
I question why do we need all of these interviews at all? First you have Rob walker in your face right after the match which is a new one, then bbc studio, eurosport, then all the sponsors. Surely one short interview is sufficient?
@@tonus6559 Well again a question. Is deflecting pressure and downplaying expectation negative or does it give him s better chance of winning? The more he wins. The longer he stays in events. The more we see of him. When he was striving for performance perfection. He used to lose due to frustration and disappointment in himself. Thus we saw less of him. Which was negative for the sport.
Hey I agree with that too - O’Sullivan’s snooker is inspiration enough and we could all live without the post match stuff. He’s got his own agenda and his approach is always interesting.
The interviewer comes across a bit cheeky and standoffish
he is doing pretty good job for a black person
@@peterkrajcovic458 You're doing a shit job as a troll though. Must try harder..
@@FlameFlickers fair enough
Its not a nice place to be I can empathize with him. Hes just telling the truth. Its been so friggin noisy too you'd wonder what all the constant banging noises on tv are. Shockingly damp and cold in there when i was there, not a very nice place to be.
Leave the man alone. I'm not defending his behavior but I truly believe he earned the right to do and say whatever he wants (without breaking the law of course).
is ronnie the "full ticket mentally " i`m having some doubts 😵😵
Ronnie saying playing like that won't bring him success, but he going for 10 titles of each of the majors 😂😂😂
Ronnie gets me down. He’s a genius for sure. And. I genuinely Appreciate he’s got depression. But he’s so irritating with that last question on Allen v Carter. “I don’t watch anything… But I watched all of Carters previous match and thought he played well”. Tiring. It’s a shame he’s a bit thick. Kills the curb appeal to his genius for me.
Like this comment if Ronnie is the GOAT?
Goat indeed 🖖🔝
Who’s the melt conducting the interview 🤔
Used to like him but coming across very disrespectful. Know he's a genius but hope now he doesn't win but then he'll say he doesn't care. Well neither do I.
Question: How do you assess Carter/ Allen’s tournament performances so far?
Ronnie: I don’t really assess anyone. I don’t look at their games . I don’t really follow it to be honest with ya. . . . . . . I did actually watch quite a lot of that match to be honest with ya . I thought Carter played really well to be honest with ya. I thought he played fantastic snooker. 🤣 He’s a walking contradiction 😂😂
The gaffer says what he wants 😂
Ronnie needs to get humbled by Ali Carter in the final 😂😂
Even if ronnie loses he still will take home 100k 😂
u know
Shaun Murphy must be so jealous of Ronnie???
This presenter is awful
Its the `woke ` situation we are in......diversity and not talent seems to be important.
He's lost the plot
And he remains miles in front of all the others
@@My40Lovehe's miles ahead, nobody can touch him when he's on his A game. Should cherrish him in this sport while he's still playing as nobody will be like him again
Lost the plot yet still remains the absolute best the game has ever seen.
Yerrrrssss ronnie lad 😂🙏
Criticise the ally pally. As always
It is an awful venue. Professional
Players like us don’t appreciate it. We have better venues in China events
@@CEO786who are you? Give us a clue 😀
Who are these snooker Gods lol 😂 😂😂😂
He’s so funny. Everything he does and says is for a reason. Constantly winding up Barry Hearn.
I look forward to ronnie o'sullivans interviews! All the other snooker players are boring.
Don't suppose anyone knows what trainers he has on?! 🤣
He beats himself up too much! nobody plays well all the time!! he should be happy instead of grumbling all the time! I'm like mate you're in another Masters Final lighten up!!!!!
White's face, even he can't take ronnie once in a while.
What's going on with the pundits these days? A lot of terrible ones with no clue about the sport. I see they've brought in Snoop Dogg for the snooker now. It must be torture for these players and ex players to have to put up with it.
Jimm looks passed off with him as Jim would love to just win a match ...
Jimmy a legend in his own right
Indeed he is..a mate of min he is..I know Jim well ...get sick of Ron talking crap lol....jimmy is snooker xx
Ally pally is not fit for Masters bring it back to Wembley
Best of all time but his attitude stinks. He's always moaning, he wanted to play out in China now he's crying saying he's tired etc, what does he want?
I think your attitude stinks. Armchair expert
He likes the lime light that's why hes not bothered if he wins which is a damn right lie he wants to win if he didn't he would of retired years ago
guy is troubled
I think Ronnie is drained after snooker matches. Moreso than ever before. So last thing he wants to do is get asked questions from Radzi in this way,( even though he knows his intentions are good and Ronnie likes Radzi but he is alot older and he''s tired more in general I'd say and with interviews. Okay Ronnie can be unpredictable but he just can't be bothered with the same questions over and over . Radzi does his best to try and take the conversation away from snooker like about his fav curry or trainers which is good..At least he tries so fair play.
But he still has the ability to also make interviews awkward. I don't know if he gets questions in his earpiece, but to say to Ronnie ...
' You watch snooker you are a real historian of the sport, looking at carter and allen who are playing in the semi final , how would you assess their tournament so far?
To me that is a badly structured questions that threw Ronnie and gave a prickly answer. Radzi has a habit of doing that, or stumbling over words. He is a very good presenter but with snooker , he hasn't improved sadly.It's getting a bit kids tv with Radzi too . I think he needs replacing with Rachel Casey. She is a natural and brings a better balance.
Or replace him with someone new, who is personable but knows about snooker and is not just saying WOW all the time.
The end.
He has been set up to fail, it's an impossible job anyway as Ronnie is Ronnie. Yet, Hazel has the experience and grace to gauge his mood and can get him to behave just well enough to finish the interview without it being too awkward most of the time.
Ronnie has to do what he's told by doing interviews, and deliberately makes them awful. It's his little protest.
Ronnie, Iove you, you talk complete bollocks 😊
Ronnie! Stop eating carbs and sugar and the pain in your feet will disappear
Ronnie is just a whinging baby!
Carter will wipe the floor with him!
