@nickgoff79 @Denmania2008 Bit of a difference between the 1950s to 2010s compared to the 1990s vs the 2000s…

@Denmania2008 you'll be telling me Pele was better than Messi next

I’ll tell you something and the history books might not agree and the lovers of Ronnie won’t agree but I’ve never been more right. When they all play their best, the whole lot, ever, John Higgins is the greatest player of all time.

@Packology @Nick_Metcalfe There’s no reason to use triangle chalk anymore mate it’s inferior in every way. If Ali Carter or someone like that was the only player using it he’d be getting all this hate online. Just because it’s Ronnie people rush to defend it.

@LadiesMan899 @Nick_Metcalfe You mean complaining, or being a brand ambassador?

Neil Robertson has called for a ban on the Triangle chalk used by Ronnie O'Sullivan. 'It destroys the game, all the players hate it,' says Robertson. More details here from TNT's James Walker-Roberts: tntsports.co.uk/snooker/halo-w… #Snooker

@Packology @Nick_Metcalfe Neil isn’t the only player with this stance.

@Nick_Metcalfe How about we talk about the fact that Neils is an official Brand Ambassador for Taom chalk ….. yes really, Google it for yourselves.

@djk29_ He’s frustrating to watch playing like that. I think he’d win more playing like his old self.

One thing about Neil Robertson's game now is that he chooses to get bogged down more instead of going for his shots! #WorldChampionship

@Boogemgb @philhaigh_ I agree that it should be points, but winning Saudi with the big prize pot against all the top players is harder than the Welsh that some of the top guys skip. Just my opinion.

@philhaigh_ I agree with Murphy that the ranking system needs changing. It's not harder to win the Saudi as it is the Welsh or other tournaments. The ranking points need to be for match wins, or even frames.... Not money. It's completely illogical as it is.

‘I think with the world number one thing, I don’t feel like I’ve played good enough to hold it.' Judd Trump is still world number one, but he's not so sure he deserves to be. metro.co.uk/2026/04/28/jud…

@Livesnooker @andrewjwalker11 The infamous “I’m going to send him back to his sad little life in Scotland” game

@andrewjwalker11 We believe it was a certain Ronnie O’Sullivan in 2002 🚀

The first maiden World champ to reach the following year’s quarter-finals since 2020 🌀

@NickPowch1995 @thatoneChipgoal @Tgarratt10 Yamal at 16 was Spain’s best attacker at the euros you fool.

@thatoneChipgoal @Tgarratt10 Yamal at 16 in English clubs wouldn't be getting Prem mins he be going through the championship route for development English football different to La Liga!

The best RW in the world Yamal aside (he’s not human). Get your head checked if you think otherwise. Proper, proper player.

@Twotribes66 @ILoveSnooker_ God you are a fool.

@ILoveSnooker_ Didn't Neil get his Century of Centuries with the triangle chalk? Ronnie, Stephen and Steve, getting loads of worlds with the chalk, Ronnie getting fastest and most 147's Nobody is doing that with the new chalk.

Neil Robertson: “I would prefer to play John Higgins so I don't have to contend with the bloody chalk that Ronnie O’Sullivan uses, which should be banned from the game.”

@Rolmeister147 @jaykay3737 Heathcote.

@jaykay3737 Similar to Heathcote. He’s got a solid action #niceaction

Hossein Vafaei - best cue action in snooker? Sold AF

@pjsuffolk @Pavlo__Escobar Don’t agree with that at all.

@Pavlo__Escobar I think the only opponent who Ronnie genuinely respects and who he sees as his equal is Higgins.

As a Ronnie fan, which opponent has scared you the most?

The penalty awarded in favor of Real Madrid in the 1960 European Cup final.

@Nick_Metcalfe People are so reactionary, I agree that Judds triple crown record is underwhelming, but why are people acting like he played terrible when that was probably Vafaeis finest performance of his career?

The curious case of Judd Trump's career. His status in the sport is not to be questioned. No player has been a bigger winner in recent times. But it does still feel like his record in the very biggest events is light. One world title. It just doesn't feel like enough. #Snooker

@JeffcottPeter @philhaigh_ Just like in Saudi…

@philhaigh_ By coming out and talking about Ronnie the way he did, all he's done is show that the issue of Ronnie's chalk has got in his head and he's giving Ronnie extra motivation for the next time they meet in a tournament and when that happens, Ronnie tends to come out on top

'Ban that crap, please! All the players hate it, it destroys the game.' Chalkgate is upon us. metro.co.uk/2026/04/27/nei…

@TSnooker102 Your ability to appear to be a fool is almost admirable.

I hope Trump loses his World number 1 spot soon because he's not even in the top 10 best player in the World.

@TC_UTD @Nick_Metcalfe Guarantee if it was a lesser player you wouldn’t defend it as much.

@Nick_Metcalfe Imagine getting upset because of someone using a different brand of chalk... You're a professional Snooker player, get over it. Ronnie gets a lot a stick, but I don't think I've ever heard the man complain about conditions in his whole career.

Neil Robertson on the Triangle chalk: ‘Ban that crap, please. All the players hate it, it destroys the game. You get kicks, you get bounces. Not only that, it makes an absolute mess of the table. It’s like (Ronnie) is doing artwork with chalk all over the cloth.' #Snooker

@TAFKASB Fuckin leave it out on JP.

JP 'the only time I've seen Shaun play badly this season was at The Masters'. Neglects to mention that he's only watching him now for the third time all season.

@VeloNews12 @OfficialPDC Clayton isn’t chasing is he?

@OfficialPDC Littler at the O2 already feels inevitable. The rest have spent 12 nights chasing him like he’s got the receipt for the trophy in his pocket

The BetMGM Premier League standings after Night 12, as Luke Littler all but cements his spot at the O2 ☢️

@SteezyAM @ThanosWasRightz @sportingroars @RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 @imanshumpert Exactly what I’m saying, why can’t people just get if role players play good it’s because LeBron’s on the floor and if they play bad then LeBron has no help, it’s a pretty simple concept!

@ThanosWasRightz @sportingroars @RunItBackFDTV @MichelleDBeadle @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 @imanshumpert They are playing that way because LeBron is on the court. Yes he is.

LeBron James is not still a top-10 NBA player 🗣️ Iman Shumpert disagrees with Nick Wright: "Guys are too athletic and getting around, which is why he got to the old man game after a while." @MichelleDBeadle | @ChandlerParsons | @TeamLou23 | @imanshumpert

@willcall1985 @philhaigh_ It definitely would’ve been pre tournament.

@philhaigh_ Kyren winning wasn't a surprise really
