O'Sullivan's post-therapy interviews are a mind-boggling wonder of pop-psychology-speak (well, the only one I saw this week anyway).

Go on ronnie!!! He's just won the first four frames of the second session in 42 mins (he so totally deserves to be called 'the rocket').
two eighty breaks and a century and he's 10-2 up.

And why has Dominic Dale suddenly vanished from the commentary team? Dennis Taylor is starting to irk me a bit...
Worst thing about Parrott - his tips segment, where he teaches Stan Boardman to play snooker. Fucking hell.

john virgo must die. he'd whinge even if he goes to heaven "ooh that's not that cloud i'd put myself on.."
ian mccolloch should have won, or david gray.

O'sullivan has rarely got it consistently together, playing to his full potential as he has in the last two rounds, blowing away anthony hamilton and hendry with a session to spare.

I was jumping the gun by claiming I was registered on the BBC website - despite doing precisely what they required I'm not registered. I requested a resend of their confirmation email and didn't get it. This is a very good way of intensifying but broadening miffed viewers' rage and ultimately getting them to give up. What a waste of 20 minutes of my life.

What's the Selby and Vicky thing?

That was weird. I know Selby has spoken of mental health issues.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 1 May 2023 21:19 (ten months ago) link
I recall one year when Selby won it and was visibly depressed throughout the whole post-match, he clearly has his demons, but it feels like this is physical health maybe
Here's to more snooker like how Brecel and Si play it

he bounced back from a serious burnout iirc

I watched the Ronnie Amazon documentary, *The Edge of Everything*. I have an instinctive emotional response to Ronnie at the best of times and found this moving - particularly as the whole thing is inevitably organised around the central wound of his dad's imprisonment. Curious to note how similar Ronnie's story is to Beckham's (whose name is on the credits as an executive producer) - how driven they both are by strong father figures and how both seem to seek father figures in their lives, albeit in Ronnie's case, the father figures seem generally more benevolent (Ronnie Wood, Damien Hirst, Jimmy White and his psychologist Steve Peters).
On the downside, it doesn't need to be the best part of two hours, and the snooker on show is oddly neutered. There's lots of Ronnie self-analysing in hotel rooms. I liked the use of the close mic during in the 2022 World Championships; there are times when you can hear the squeak of his shoes amid the muttering and cursing.
