A Quick Rant

.......Just witnessed a vile moment in sport.

The 'legendary' Ronnie O'Sullivan had potted two reds at the start of a frame when he suddenly stopped to have a word with the referee about money. He wanted to now what the prize money for a 147 break was!
The commentators stopped mid-flow pondering this current manifestation of the madness of O'Sullivan.

Cut to the end of the frame, which O'Sullivan won, and his back stage chat with BBC commentator Rob. He wasn't going to bother potting the red because there wasn't any big money in it but the ref, Mr Jan Van de Haas (Or something like that) persuaded him to.

What the blue blazes is happening to sport when a nutcase, albeit a skilled nutcase like O'Sullivan can pick and choose which balls to pot. Big money and I'll bother, small change and I won't.

In his interview he stated that £4000 for the highest break is not much really, and when asked about pleasing the fans with 147's he shrugged his shoulders.

The 'man' is a disgrace.
