Snooker World Open

Wasn't going to start a thread for this but everyones favourite scumbag has just got on my tits yet again.

Then came the brilliance, and after potting the first red in frame three O'Sullivan halted proceedings to ask what the prize for a 147 was, only to be eventually told there was no additional purse and only a £4,000 sum for the highest break.

He potted some outstanding balls in his maximum, achieved in barely 10 minutes - even with the delay when researching about the 147 prize - but shook hands with King after potting the pink.

Referee Jan Verhaas persuaded O'Sullivan to finish the break and he duly slammed in the black in nonchalant fashion.

"I wasn't going to pot the black because I asked and was told there was no break prize for a 147," O'Sullivan admitted to the BBC.

"What's the point of making a 147 if you're only going to make £4,000?"

cbc admit it, if you didn't put money on, you'd find it dull as shit.

You wouldn't possibly consider doing it for people who've come to watch who may have never seen one live before eh?

What a lunatic.

I saw Hendry miss the final black a few years back at the Masters.

O'Sullivan is a dick, and is no where near as entertaining to watch as many believe. Give me the Whirlwind any day - a much better snooker player - just had/has no bottle.

I think his reasons for doing it are w*nk .

If he'd got to 140 and then just sat down then it would've been brilliant. Effectively saying I could have had a 147 but f**k it, I don't give a f**k. As he made a point of stating that it was due to lack of prize money then it loses it's appeal somewhat.
