SNOOKER 147 VS 146 MANUAL

'It has been mainly manual work, also getting big bales of hay in to feed the animals. 'The farm has got sheep, pigs, cows, goats, chickens, horses and I've been getting the green wellies on,' he told the press at the time of his decision, вЂњ'I've been cleaning out stables and pig sties, taking down fences, putting rubbish into barrels and clearing mud. Fed up with the bureaucracy of the sport he has perfected better than any other, the then world champion swapped the Crucible for cows and bulls, taking on unpaid labourer work down on a farm in Essex in 2013. One such incident, saw Ronnie turn his back on the snooker to rear pigs instead. OвЂ™SullivanвЂ™s disdain for the game which made his name has perpetually reared its head. When Ronnie Tried His Hand At Pig Farming One year later he was up to his old tricks again but this time the referee stepped him, spoke to his sensitive side and implored him to clear up the final colour вЂњfor the fansвЂќ. 'Once the prize goes up a bit, I'll go for the 147. To make a maxi, it's such a massive achievement and if they're going to pay us 10 grand, I think it's worth a bit more than that. 'I knew it was 10 grand and I just thought that's a bit too cheap really. вЂњI could have got on the black and possibly made a 147,вЂќ was his flippant, devil-may-care response. O'Sullivan then cleared the rest of the table for a break of 146, a single point off the formerly obtainable maximum. When informed of the вЂpaltryвЂ™ 10k, he continued the red-black sequence until he snidely chose to pot the pink after the penultimate red, becoming a real b*stard on the ball. O'Sullivan was leading Barry Pinches 3-1 and had scored just 40 in the fifth frame when he asked the referee what he would win were he to score 147. In February 2016, Ronnie O'Sullivan refused to complete a 147 at the Welsh Open after discovering his prize would have been 'only' ВЈ10,000. However, he could have bagged a whole lot more had it not been for his disdain for the meagre rewards that he perceives to come with the feat.
