[@MrSaltford]

i love the way ronnie sees life and the way he sees snooker as just a game without pressure and just a sport.
he's done everything in the game and the game has benefitted from ronnie as well.
i don't see ronnie wasting any years in snooker because i don't think he would still be playing now. much like stephen hendry was finished in his mid 30tys

[@Temme142]

it's probably alot easier to see the game without pressure and just a sport when you've made your millions playing it though. the guys working part-time bar jobs practising 7 days a week are the ones with the pressure on them - only ever a couple of losses away from dropping off the tour!

[@Mitjitsu]

According to Ronnie he can't afford to retire, and I suspect much the same applies to Higgins. There isn't the money there used to be when the likes of Davis and Hendry were dominating. Even Dennis Taylor is richer than all the current players on tour. Also, as you get older the worse you deal with pressure, because you know there's going to be fewer opportunities to do well in tournaments. Ironically one of the best tournaments I ever had was when I came in with no expectations and felt somewhat defeatist coming in, but because I didn't particular care as to how things went. I didn't buckle under pressure and make mistakes like I would in the past.

[@Mitjitsu]

@H No, the top players 30-40 years ago made far more money due to the amount of opportunities to make money off the table. Snooker was the number 1 sport in the 80's due football being plagued with hooliganism and dilapidated stadiums. Snooker was in decline for many years at the turn of the century and has only began to make some form of resurgence thanks to growing interest from the far-east and people from countries where snooker has no presence access to streams via social media. The only question I have is when will the Worlds move to China and what will be the long term effects.
