Tired O'Sullivan considers break

Quote Ronnie

"I probably won't play next year. I'll take a year off. I'll let you know before the season starts, but I'm 90% positive," said O'Sullivan.

"It's not an irrational decision. I've been thinking about this for quite a while and maybe it'll be good for me."

"I need to see a few people to see if it's worth coming back next year. Maybe if I have a year off and am quite happy I have another year off," he said.

"It may be the case I'm saying goodbye. You all have a special place in my heart. Thank you for your support."

============================================

You suck Ronnie! I think you do need a doctor or just Dr.Oiy .. You are not really stable mind.. I know he wanted to win world champ for the most this year. I wish he could too! I said bye bye Ronnie yesterday but I didnt meant to bye bye like this. He is the best, I mean he got talent in it, so his career is not really hard. Compare with other player that have to practice 10-12 hours a day. When I got to read news today about "taking a year off" I kind of ..what.. huh? Other players have to work hard to get the way like him, why he will waste his talent?

Even he win I think he will still tell the world that he may take a break.. He always said so. I have heard few times already, I respect him in the case that he came from a tough family. But he can be successful in his career.. but again he is like something unexpectable. Sometime he can play like God sometime he is just being *****.. depend on his mood. And somehow he still show his depression.. I can feel it once when he was going to quit he said like he cant make it no more.. so many problems around him since his dad case, then it was like last strow about his sister. From that news I felt like he was extremly sad, depressed, confused.. I was sad with him And its affected him a lot about his dad.. life is hard.. Just fight my dear!

Now once again, but no sad sign just he aint happy much with his performance.. but I still do! He Won 3 -4 tournaments this season.. what do you want more Ronnie? Ken even won nothing and be in low performance but never heard he gonna take a break! I hope Ronnie wont take a year off... he is just crazy as always.. LOL damn him! If he was James Wattana he might just quit already ages ago..

I confused with news.. dont know if it last decision yet, dont know if he will do it for sure. But sound like he does, just not sure for how long. I hope Reardon is right for 6 months or shorter. I like last word from him even its sound a bit too sweet to be Ronnie, but I take it as I got a special place in his heart too )

Even though no Ronnie but world champ still go on and one last hope of mine is Peter Ebdon!

Enjoy the Show

hey oiy

is that I McCulloch the same guy as lead singer in Echo and the Bunnymen?

seen them a few times in concert but that was years and years ago

the band was really good...but didnt know he could play snooker!!!

I think the legendary Ray Reardon has called it correctly. Ronnie will probably take 6 months off and the game will call him back

no idea really.. u check out the link if he is same guy as u mentioned or not.. I gotta search.. LOL
