Masters is just kicking off. Anyone put any money on?
Murpy/Selby starts us off.
Selby didn't last long!
Yup he's swiftly going from the most popular snooker player to a complete cock.
So sorry that £10,000 isn't enough for you Ronnie you great gloating arsehole.
In fairness dropping the winnings so much gives the players less incentive for big breaks and I agree with him. I had the same initial knee jerk for a split second but I've never minded Ronnie and respect him as the best player ever. I can see why it would annoy people though.
My apologies I thought we were at the WC and they'd taken the winnings down. It's too early for that. Sorry I've just had a couple of pints and a bit of lunch at the pub I am talking shit again.Sorry but considering how much money he'll have earned in his career, together with the arrogant way he treats snooker as his personal play-thing, him suggesting that £10,000 isn't worth trying for will rightly wind people up.
It would be like a footballer refusing to score a penalty because his goal bonus isn't big enough.
Pathetic basically.
Just another social-media outrage storm being drummed up without people actually knowing the full facts...
The prize for a 147 is calculated on a rollover basis, with £5k added to the pot in each tournament. It's not as if that money just disappears and it gives someone else a chance to earn that £10k and more.
£10k might not mean much to Ronnie but the next guy that gets a 147 will be £10k richer due to Ronnie's actions...
