Bosses are taking pee says Rocket

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN has accused snooker bosses of “cutting corners” with tournament venues.

The Rocket began the defence of his English Open title with a 4-1 win over Kurt Maflin at the K2 in Crawley but said: “I have just been asked to do an interview and all I could smell was urine. If they are cutting corners, they are cutting them in the wrong places.”

A World Snooker statement read: “He has made no formal complaint. Feedback from the other players has been very positive.”
