If Ronnie had this kind of temperament throughout his career he would have easily won far more tournaments... certainly far more up for the fight even when not at his best he can win. Not that 5 world titles and four UK titles amougst others is bad lol but for his talent he should have bypassed Hendry and could still do so.

Trump on his way to a five one lead so looks like a ronnie trump final should make for a classic

I've seen a lot of players play live.

 

But I have to say, in terms of natural talent, Ronnie & Judd are by far the two best players I've seen.

Ronnie and Judd should be great. Two of the most natural players ever to grace the baize. Hoping for some big breaks and for it to go all the way.

As if Ronnie has never been up for SPOTY.

Sums up the joke of an award.

You have to be a BBC golden boy!

Same with Phil Taylor, took him about 15 world titles to get nominated.

Definitely a snobbery towards the 'pub sports'.

Grandad.

It's even more ridiculous when you look at what Ronnie has achieved in the last calender year. 

 

Think only Rory has achieved more collectively than Ronnie, granted Lewis Hamilton is a World Champion in his sport but the sick thing is even if Ronnie beat Selby to win the World Championship this year it still wouldn't of made a difference.

Is Snooker considered a pub sport? I've never looked at it that way.

Not technically.

Ironic thing about it all is the BBC have 4 tournaments televised throughout the year.

Shouldn't they rename the sports personality of the year award to the sports achievements of the year award? Personality hasn't come in to it in decades.

Dictionary definition of Personality (see number 3)

personality (ˌpɜːsəˈnælɪtɪ)

n, pl -ties

1. (Psychology) psychol the sum total of all the behavioural and mental characteristics by means of which an individual is recognized as being unique

2. the distinctive character of a person that makes him socially attractive: a salesman needs a lot of personality.

3. a well-known person in a certain field, such as sport or entertainment

4. a remarkable person: the old fellow is a real personality.

5. the quality of being a unique person

6. the distinctive atmosphere of a place or situation

7. (often plural) a personal remark

It's never been about how nice that person is. Sure popularity with the public my swing the final vote, but all in all the final list in compiled due to achievement and always has been.

Not a pub sport like pool or darts is, but a 'sport' where you are quite likely to play it having a pint is what I meant.
