What a guest to have on the show! Made my day listening to the GOAT this morning
Phil Taylor was better !!!
Oh yes ! Phil Taylor was so much better than Ronnie O'sullivan, because we can definitely compare them! 🤪
But Hendry wasn't on
Me too - Brazil, McCoist and Ronnie. Doesn't get better
@marc i used to ponder now i observe
I’ve read your comment a few times and I’m no closer to deciphering your spazzy attempt at English 😂
Saw him on a huge billboard in Changzhou (China) the other week, he is a big star worldwide.
Gabby ?
People forget that Stephen Hendry played to that Luca Brecel standard in the world championship. Stephen Hendry was the most attacking player of all time and hardly ever missed. I think people like Steve Davis and John Parrott have got a little bit carried away. But they did this with Shaun Murphy and Judd Trump.
Ronnie O'Sullivan has also played to that standard if not above...
But Stephen Hendry who's known for all about attacking and hardly missed I'm surprised people are saying Luca is playing snooker nobody's ever seen..
If you have he had Stephen Hendry vs Mark Selby in the final both at their best I could see the final going the same way. I would definitely favour Hendry...
Absolute goat and madman, definition of natural talent. Summed it up when he says I’ll try to do 15 hours a week when others do 7 hours a day 😂
but he did not say how much he did in the past.
training have effect only when stamina is there... and he is old.
No, Luca Brecel is natural talent. He won the world championship and beat Ronnie without even training
he trained 7 hours a day for years when he was younger, his documentary is worth a watch
If his argument is that only talent should matter then snooker tournaments should only be between about six players, the epl should only have six teams, Usain bolt should have just been handed all the medals in the opening ceremony etc.
This isn’t an athletic sport so form doesn’t matter as much. Regular practice is obviously important and makes a difference but he’s been a pro for 2 thirds of his entire life, that’s tens of thousands of hours possibly even over a hundred thousand hours of practice, he’s near enough mastered the game
Rodney is up and coming tennis superstar according to Del Boy. Girl asks Rodney what he prefers Astro turf or grass Rodney says I dunno I’ve never smoked Astro turf.
He quickly backed out of saying that on air didn’t he 😂
Gabbys book "My beef with Jurgen Klopp" 😂
Very good
Could you get a book out of that headline 😂
don't forgot his beef with Roy Keane!
THE GOAT
All I know is I've been playing since 05 and my highest break is 28. I have a love hate relationship with snooker... I love snooker but snooker hates me😂
The question for gabby is not have you ever wrote a book, it should have been "gabby, have you ever read a book"
It’s important to not take the mockery too far!
This! I was going to comment this. Spot on.
He read a book once...... Green it was.
Coming home from school … putting on bbc2 … embassy world championship… watching Hendry, Higgins & ronnie… ahh bliss ❤
Such a humble fella considering.. He may not share the same consistency as Davis and Hendry.. But thats just what makes Ronnie such an exciting player to watch.. Cuz when he's in form, he is literally playing in a super human league all by himself.. Hands down the most talented player to ever hold a cue!
Well said mate
agreed!
Humble?? In what way! He's never been humble in his life. He the most arrogant, unbearable sportsman ever seen for about 20years!
@@jakelamotta2387 don't confuse confidence with arrogance..
@@DailyArtTherapy every snooker player has confidence. Your the one that's confused.
It's hard to see anyone ever replicating Ronnie's success. His combination of natural talent and longevity is truly remarkable.
@@carter3369must explain why your missus is unhappy with you
@@carter3369 everyone has a day when they write something retarded
Ever heard of a guy called "Brecell"?
@Carter Clearly you have no idea about snooker WHATSOEVER!
@@pranavhrishikesh2229 I had red panty night last night so can’t complain
Girl - " Which do you prefer, Grass or Astra Turf? "
Rodney - " Dunno, i never smoked astro turf "
🤣🤣🤣
Thank God Ally was there so they at least had someone on that knew their snooker
I thought the same .... who was that Ronnie fella?👀
The absolute goat of the sport. Hard to find another sport where one person is at such a different level to the rest of the competition, especially at the peak of their powers.
Have you not heard of phil Taylor
@@robertcolcombe6893good point Phil was a phenomenon but the nuances of snooker mean a true genius can express more style and flair. I've enjoyed watching Ronnie more than most sportsmen I've ever seen
Jimmy white
@@sharonpaxton8333 nice joke😂
Stephen Hendry the GOAT!
More of Ronnie on please!! These three on the regular would be amazing.
A proper sporting legend in the studio 👏
"Sport"!?? 😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@gillie-monger3394 yep well done for reading 👍🏻
Great athlete
@@alfiehickson8440 he is, runs everyday.
@alfiehickson8440 34 mins for 10k, so is actually better at his second choice sport than 99.99% of people are at their first choice
"Jimmy Connelly? Do you mean Jimmy Connors?"
"Nah, he knocked that divvy out in first round!"
Genius.. So good without having to be 100% even in a time among other great players
greatest player ever to grace a snooker table. Luca Barcel has nnatural talent but nobody will ever surpass Ronnie.
Only time I thought he’d potentially be surpassed was when judd trump (most talented player ever imo) went on that ridiculous run of form from 19-21 but he’s slightly dropped off recently, he’s the only one on tour that has even a slight chance but brecel is cracked as well
That come back from luca vs si was insane
Ronnie and Phil Taylor are the worlds greatest sportsman. No-one else comes close!
Sorry,but who is Phil Taylor,never heard of him?!is he a commentator?!!
Definitely mate, unreal
hes amazing to listen to. Don't think there's many others (Phil Taylor / Tiger woods / michael jordan / michael schumacher etc) that are as synonymous with a sport as ronnie. Love him or hate him he is snooker.
Very well put in context 👌👊 excellent point!
Yes Ronnie the greatest with 21 majors 39 ranking titles the most centuries and 147s keeping snooker relevant and on the front pages entertaining us for decades his longevity is legendary and will be his legacy his aura and pressance is unique nobody like him everything he does makes headlines for the sport
And then came along "Brecel".
@@wanderer1955 clueless comment 🤣🤣🤣
@@bazzer2828 Lol!! You ➡️🤪
@@wanderer1955 brecel's win was more to do with other players lack of form, he'll never get to a final again let alone win it 😂
@Barry Porter Your delusional. If you can please try and get back in the real world ASAP!!!
Really cool interview
His personality has changed for the better. He must be in a very good place.
Amazing talent.
It's the cue action
There won't be another Ronnie in game of snooker. This man is a genius
didnt he just say Luca is better?
@@GordonTredgold no lol luca isn't anywhere near ronnie's level
@@bazzer2828 i didnt make that claim thats what Ronnie said
@@GordonTredgold ronnie was just being polite lol I'd put money on Luca never winning another world championship
@@bazzer2828there are players more talented than Ronnie as talented he is, trump and brecel are the 2 players on tour rn more talented than him and they’ve started to have success in recent years, ronnies obviously ridiculously talented as well but he’s just a better competitor and plays much better under pressure which is like 50% of what’s needed in snooker to succeed
So pleased Ronnie is happy doing what he is doing. Its great to see him happy.
Brazil is one of the finest broadcasters in the game right now. Others need to sit up and respect the kid for how he goes about his craft!!!!!
He's the last of that generation
I think Gabby would struggle to read the word book, let alone read one. Write one!?!
For all his success and talent Ronnie is the kind of bloke that you meet down the pub, respect.
Lol!! I can tell by your comment you have never met him personally....you're in for a shock if you ever bump into him on a night out and try to say hello to him.
I love Ronnie❤❤😊👍👍Ronnie O'Sullivan and Stephen Hendry (and Steve Davis)- the very best and Daddies of Snooker 😊
I remember years back , Ronnie dad said Brecel the closest thing I seen to Ronnie
My 2 favourite sportsmen of all time. McCoist and O’Sullivan. Need Andy Murray to join them to complete my top 3
So you’re Scottish then 😂
@@georgejung5429 yes lol
Thank you so much Alan & Ally for inviting the rocket , the kind of player that makes uninterested people in a sport become very interested .....It'll be very sad when he hangs up his cue !!!
A legend of the game, what a guy
Remember years ago when Ray Rearden was loosing a frame/match, his opponent at the table and he hung a white hanky on the end of his cue, another player was loosing and he got out a book ."how to play snooker" all on tv. You cannot imagine that happening now with Barry Hearn in charge, they would be fined for bringing the game into disrepute, probably put them in jail, players with no characture nowadays, they all walk round the table like they have just lost a £20 note.
defo right on how this world championship was different to others with Brecel and Si .....mesmerising semi-final
These two are the bests hosts on talksport bar none
Happy to still catch you on AM.
Was watching Ronnie's interview with Hendry yesterday as it goes.
Selby is built like Hendry 🤷🏻♂️
Tony Dahl was director of fools and horses and when he fell through the bar was his first scene me and few others did his loftily conversion at a town house in Acton
For anybody wondering, Ronnie was talking about an Only Fools and Horses scene where Rodney is chatting a girl up pretending to be a tennis player, and she asks if he prefers Astro turf or Grass?, And Rodney replies "I dunno, I've never smoked Astro Turf" 😂😂😂. You can see Ronnie realise he's not allowed to tell it because obviously its drug related.
8:24
Proper guest! Met Ronnie when i was a kid, lovely bloke.
The goat!
that episode of only fools Ronnie mentioned is from the first series and is by a long way the best episode from the first series which is generally regarded as not as good as the rest of the series along with maybe the last few episodes
Maybe.. but the Astro turf scene is proper funny. Defo up there as one of the best lol moments
Brazil needs to lose some serious poundage. He's a pretzel away from a mass coronary. I'm worried for the old fella.
Shame alan called it a day to 2 days. By far still the best 2 days of talksport breakfast.
LEGEND.......
Certified GOAT
@ Wayne Pulham and certified knobend
@@jackbaker1921 doesnt mean he isnt class player sure he cares what people think
@ Jack Never said it didn’t make him a class player. Not so class of late tho is he losing 7 frames on the spin
@@jackbaker1921 true but everyone can loose and brecel won it so no shame
Even though I love Ronnie, I’d still say Henry is the greatest - when you take into account the greater number of ranking tournaments today and how much more people play - you can REALLY appreciate just how much Henry dominated during his run because it’s only in the last few years that his records have started to be beaten.
Only reason they're being beaten is he retired too early.
Hendry got the yips before he retired
He retired when he started getting beaten, Hendry wouldn’t dominate snooker if he showed up now. The 90s crew still cutting it today
Legend
Eh, mate, easy mate, easy mate, what can we leerrrrnnn, love the kings english, I fink its brilliant, cheers mate.
Ronnie is right.. Snooker peaked in around 2002 quality wise. Yes, the top 100 are stronger now but the top 16 is woeful now compared to back then. This is why the people dominating today are in their mid 40s !!
Is that and the pressure of fame is immense on the young sportsman of recent years because of the vast improvement of social media which in my opinion puts much more pressure on young players,specially in snooker as it is not a team sport and you are on your own out there with the eyes of the now whole world on you!
@@behzadeslamizar3450 it’s not that deep, it’s just lack of talent coming through. Same with football too. In the 90s there was dozens of workd class footballers , now you can barely count on one hand
brazil knows about drinking though
Not sure there’s ever been a more successful sportsman. The man is a genius and imagine if he actually tried?!
When Ronnie speaks we all listen.
What a bloke. 🐐
No we dont.....
He is phenomemamemal
Sullivan just got battered by that new culture on the way to becoming world champion. And chiunese player Si is off the charts. Ronnie is butthurt because the changing of the guard just happened one month ago
I gave up on boring robotic snooker about 20 years ago, today Ronnie is the only one i tune in to watch, when he retires snooker will die.
Yep 🧐
Genius, without a doubt. The man is a genius
The best snooker player I ever seen , his 147 in under 5 mins will always stick in my mind
it was just over 5 minutes not under, but yeah possibly one of the greatest individual sports achievements ever televised
He isn't that good 😂
@@jamesadcock5235 neither is your knowledge. inagine saying the greatest player of all time isnt that good 🤣🤣
@@jamesadcock5235 Ronnie 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🐐
5 minutes 20 seconds. This is not a secret. Sorry to educate you, but ..................
Ronnie is the best ever but hendry in his prime beats ronnie. Better matchplayer
@@teddy11179 better temperament than ronnie. Ronnie couldn't beat hendry in late 90s. But I think ronnie has a better safety game. They are the 2 standout players
He has got a magnetic personality topped by he’s truth and as it is telling,makes him a world apart from the other personalities,proof being how devastated he was when at such a early age wholeheartedly missed his dad when he went to prison!such personalities r so rare to come across in life and when one comes across who unlike others in public view are acting rather than being themselves in front of cameras,it’s refreshing to see a super star in the filled of his sport has such a intoxicating personality.
Ronnie's a top man. Hope he keeps playing.
8:35 "I don't know , I've never smoked astroturf"
About time talk sport talk snooker!!
Fan boys fawning on here
Fan boys, idiots and those who are also A grade 'gits'.
Amazing..16-14 down to Selby was the greatest ever come back ever witnessed..
What a love about Ron is he never mentions that...
Genius 3 frames ever seen..
My favourite match ever.
Even Hendry in the commentary box said we've gone from the sublime to the ridiculous !!!! The comeback was mind blowing & only the rocket is capable of performing that kind of level .
@@mohammedyacinebouacida1712 And now Luca Brecel, if he wants to. He came back against 3 of the greats in their own playground.
Yeh I watched that too Ronnie just went out full attack & blew Selby away really.
Ronnie is the GOAT of all sport, and humble about it too, legend
snooker is not a sport.
@@Alien_Observer_ it absolutely is 😂
Not only is it a sport it's a hard sport at that
@@peaky237 Behave. It's a pub game like darts and table skittles.
@@CJAFCN5 I am old enough to remember when professional players would smoke and swill pints during their games.
Why didn’t they ask him about his documentary :S
He abandoned his daughter she needed Help with substance abuse he said NO & Completely ignores her when i read this ive gone off him.
Nice to hear Ronnie talking like this, he seems to be in a good place !
The best sports star England has ever produced ..... Genius
he's the best ever to play ronnie rocket .boy from wordsley..a true star ....never be same without him ....come on ron 💙💙💙xxx
PHENONEMAL
This years snooker was amazing luca was out this world
Poor old gabby, he can't even spell book, never mind write one. Just on what Ronnie was saying about the state of the game at the younger age levels, There just isn't the amount of clubs open, loads have closed in my city, how are you going to get kids playing the game if there are no clubs for them to play in, going down to the club wasn't just about knocking a few balls about, it was part of a kids education growing up, its a real shame.
It would be interesting to see Ronnie try “snooker plus” from the 1950’s
how does ronnie look that young
I agree, Snooker has lost its culture - very few actual officers playing the game nowadays.
Love Alan and Ali. Should be called the AA of talksport carrying everyone!
I agree. Snooker was once a british sport of elite players competing. Bringing more emphasis from other countries has dimsed its culture.
Never smoked Astro turf, great episode. Ronnie is a brilliant character and unbelievable talent, battled his demons and makes watching snooker enjoyable
Good to see him so happy
That will change once again as soon as he wants some more money.
Simply greatest player I’ve ever seen I was big jimmy white fan then since Ronnie came along I became big fan
if i saw trigger sitting somewhere, i'd have to walk past and say 'allright dave.."
No surprise, so has the UK
Only fools and horses was funny af
But the funniest thing that's made me laugh until it actually started to hurt and that was "The two Ronnie's", especially Ronnie barker, that guy was a national treasure ❤😂😂😂
Ron’s quality snax
We need more snooker clubs open in uk All over!!!!!
He's really good with a snooker stick, knocking them balls into those holes with those nets
Love Ronnie O he IS a legend Seems to be happier now which is great Mind you if layla Rouass was my partner I'd be grinning from ear to ear Great insight into his thinking and future Not a long enough interview though Could listen all day Fabulous Cheers all 🍀😊🔮
Top fella
Ronnie will talk sh*t on snooker forever, a game that’s supported him for decades.. it’s sad to hear
2nd only to the all time GOAT Stephen Hendry!
@waynette homo 🎣
Time to go and make BANK in Asia on the back of the Netflix film. He should have made 2 or 3 times the amount in terms of the viewing figures he has brought to Hearn's sport.
GOAT enough said!!!!!!!
Ronnie must create some level of resentment with other snooker players. He doesnt practise like they need to, he plays with his left hand better than most can play with there normal hand and has played at the highest level longer than most manage, still winning regularly.
