Most of the time it seems somewhat easier, than say what the tennis player's face on tour. Some hacks are quite hostile to players.<br /><br />Don't have a problem with O'Sullivan's reaction straight after the defeat. He was nearly the same all week in the BBC studio after matches. I do advise folk on here to read O'Sullivan's post match reaction to his Master's defeat. As always, it makes for interesting reading....When doesn't he!?<br /><br />Thanks, JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-45069576309836326192010-01-23T17:32:39.642+00:002010-01-23T17:32:39.642+00:00well you are certainly wrong on your comment at 1:...well you are certainly wrong on your comment at 1:59, because i know several of them and have said quite a lot of comments that ive posted on here (and elsewhere) to their faces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-70053299276606775242010-01-23T16:09:42.617+00:002010-01-23T16:09:42.617+00:00I'd happily tell Ronnie off to his face!
