Rocket attempts to snooker ѿý reporter

Ronnie O'Sullivan and our reporter Jamie Broughton joust over whose opinion matters more after the former world number one snubbed the chance of a maximum break and £10,000 prize money at the Welsh Open.

"I'm really interested in what you have to say. I'd love to know what you think. I like you as a person and I value your opinion," said O'Sullivan.

World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn had criticised O’Sullivan, describing his actions as "unacceptable" and "disrespectful".

But O'Sullivan said: "If you were to sit down the five greatest snooker players of all time they would have said that was the right shot.”
