Having read this remarkably selfish, childish, deeply ungenerous interview – and I know – for the groupies in the studio audience, is a god O’Sullivan who can do no wrong, I have to say what a deeply unpleasant little shit he is. Take this especially egregious quote:
“I’m just hanging around so people don’t get as good as a career as me,” he said.
“If I could stop [Mark] Selby winning a few, and Judd winning a few, and Ding and [Neil] Robertson winning a few – just ruin their careers a little bit – that would be great. Sometimes that’s just a nice motivation to play.”
There you have it – a man obviously despite his great wealth, hates real life – who still thinks he is a child to be humoured, and given into, who can´t stand losing, and, because he is unhappy himself wants to make others unhappy.
The man who constantly witters on about how much he dislikes snooker, Ronnie, the reluctant winner, Ronnie with his faux modesty, Ronnie the man who longs for retirement, Ronnie whose brooding presence and impassive disdain is clear when his opponent is scoring, Ronnie with his dreary bored voice. Ronnie the total arsehole.
If he really is as bored as he says, why doesn’t he do us all a favour and retire as he has been promising or threatening to do for the last decade. He isn´t a ¨sportsman¨, he is a boring little egomaniac.
