Have I mentioned that Ronnie O’Sullivan is my absolute favorite snooker player? (He’s Merrystar’s, too.)

Well, he is. Snooker’s always exciting when he’s playing.

Ronnie O’Sullivan said he was not worried about snooker’s authorities censuring him after he made a gesture during his win over Stephen Maguire.

The tournament favourite raised a finger to a pocket after missing a difficult pot during his 10-6 success.

“So what? Frustration’s good. It shows how passionate I am about the game,” he told BBC Radio Five Live.

“I’m here to win the tournament. If they want to fine me, they can, I’ve got plenty of money, so I’ll pay.”
