leave him alone you lot. wasnt his dad in prison for murder?? while you all were getting tucked up with yer bloody teddies and getting read stories he didnt have such a good childhood, which has lead to depression and unhappiness.

just coz u are a legend it dont mean that u are happy inside.

He beats himself up far too much! I adore him and will be proud no matter what <3

It's a shame Ronnie can't find his peace :(

@MrPragmatism Show me where he claims to be a genius? Its the opposite, he dislikes being called a genius because it implies that he doesn't have to work to be as good as he is. And he's hardly bitching, if you had followed this mans career at all you would see he suffers from depression and is fighting a constant battle with himself and his game, imagine being that good at anything and still dissatisfied with it, only he can understand i suppose.....Just stfu MrPragmatism

i think you have to be a bit mad to be a snooker player i mean to practise like they do is a bit OCD why is it we tend to know every little detail of snookers players lives

Disturbing how he keeps getting knocked out in the first round now. I hope he manages to snap out of it:(

[kiwicalibre]

Can anyone imagine snooker without Ronnie? I can't... but it will happen and some other little freak will happen along some day. Lets hope so for the games sake.... other than Ronnie the current crop are like watching paint dry.

jeez, whats the the replies on this video. Calm down you muppets, this is the best player in the game you're talking about.

@JamieWilliamsAus hands down I agree with you in every single way, and because of his childhood, one of the reasons he might won't to retire is so he can spend a lot more time with his family and kids, to give them what he never had. Quite sad actually when you think about it.
