What on earth is going on with Rocket Ronnie.  Known to be a a little volatile he walked out of his quarter final match yesterday conceding after missing a red, while already trailing 4-1.  As the match was best of 17, there was still a lot of snooker left to play.  All he did was confound Stephen Hendry his opponent and upset his army of fans who had paid good money to see him.

Ronnie is undoubtedly a genius but as with many he has a flaw in his make up somewhere - put him in the category as George Best, Paul Gascoigne et al unfortunately.  If he really is not enjoying the game he should take some time out as John Parrot suggests.  Although contrite over the incidence he can’t let the game, his fans or himself down like that again.
