Ronnie causes outrage

Written by Rachael Rodgers

Some have said that as great as it is, that snooker players have twitter and talk to fans on a regular basis. However when it comes to Ronnie O'Sullivan it is considered he maybe shouldn't be allowed to have twitter.
  Last night Ronnie caused a mass debate on whether or not players should be made to wear the shirt, bow tie and waistcoat at the PTC events. World Snooker have ruled that since live streaming is now available on two tables that any player on those tables has to be fully dressed in the attire you expect to see a player be wearing. Players on none life streaming tables do not have to wear a bow tie.
  Ronnie stated that for PTC events players should be allowed to wear polo shirts and smart trousers, to be more relaxed. Most fans and players agreed with him but he didn't stop there.  When told by Janie Watkins who works are the South West Snooker Academy that air conditing will keep the rooms cool. to which ronnie replied.

It appears that in the past few weeks players have recieved guidlines on how to deal with social media, obviously Ronnie failed to read that piece of post and seems intent on flauting the rules set my world snooker.  Rumour has it that Ronnie maybe after his expected ban before Shanghai.  Ronnie's thoughts are however a showing of personality and devloping the character that Barry Hearn says is missing from snooker.  Personally i think it is unfair to limit the players to what they can say, yes someone will always be offended by something they say, but really its real life.
  And with Ronnie you never know what side of serious he sits upon
