“I’ve played some unbelievable players in the past and Stephen Hendry for me is still by far the greatest player, not just for his game, but for his bottle, the attitude, the way he played the game. Me, and Phil Yates, we grew up on the circuit together and that man was just awesome.”

“He took shots on that Judd Trump takes on, but he took them with getting on the black, Trump screws back to baulk, but he [Hendry] rolled them in for the black. To me that stands him out as the greatest player of all time. To me there will never be another Stephen Hendry, he was just awesome, he was the equivalent of Phil Taylor, Tiger Woods or Michael Schumacher. They only come around once every…every sport has one, but I think he was snooker’s.”

That's what everybody else thinks about him.

I thought Ronnie didn't like travelling overseas for the Asian events anyways.

Best of luck to the qualifiers still in with a chance of making the main event.

"O’Sullivan has reportedly developed an aversion to flying and was yesterday tweeting from a train in Germany where he claimed to have ‘mooned’ a platform of passengers.

This brings a whole new meaning to the American pool term ‘bottom English.’ "

"Even just a couple of years ago, there was always a feeling that if things went against him, or if he simply did not feel right on the day, then he might give up and vulnerable to an upset. These days however, that just does not seem to happen, even when things are going against him, he will continue to try and apply himself in the right way."

Taken out of context...hmmmm...

No doubting it goes on, and Lee's punishment won't deter it happening again. I've seen it first hand on the semi pro circuit, and I've been in matches where I've thought wtf is this guy doing? Only later to find out later from those who had money on the game that they had to pay they guy quite a bit of money.
I can understand Ronnie posting what he did. He was clearly pissed off at the whole situation. But there will always be players who don't make what they want from tournaments so they have to cheat the bookies out of a few bob. Slap those who take part in match fixing with a lifetime ban...then just slap them for the fun of it.

O'Sullivan: I feared drug testers :

Who cares what sportspeople get up to in their free time and after all they are only human like the rest of us and they cant inhale on live TV nowadays !

Bill Clinton smoked but said that he didn't inhale his joints & Monika Lewinski smoked his joint but didn't swallow .

Who cares what people get up to off the table !
