    I wouldn't be too surprised if both Hossein and Ronnie haven't coordinated this "beef" to create some excitement. Hossein used to idolise Ronnie so it still seems strange that he comes out with stuff, regardless of Ronnie's attitude.

    Friday would be prime for another Just Stop Oil protest too
    With you on that one on both points. Ex boxing promoter in charge of snooker looking to bulk up the viewing figures.

    Anyway, completely agree that Hossein needs to concentrate on his game. Ronnie O Sullivan will be loving this as he is getting into Hossein’s head, O Sullivan is a stirrer and doesn’t coke across as the nicest person at times so I have little love for him (amazing player though).
    Hearn will be loving this.

    I still don't get why Hossein did this last year - picking a fight with another player is one thing, picking a fight with a player who is your hero is another, but picking a fight with a legend of a sport who is very liked... it just didn't make sense

    Like I said, Hossein is so talented but he needs to stop talking until he wins a real title

    biggest game in entire world champs in terms of attention. Not even a final gets this much attention. Hossein only needs to play as good as he did vs ding and he will have a fair chance of winning. Ronnie has been udner the weather so perfect for hossein

    For the world 23 he sure does talk a lot lol

    Having said that, this is the first time I've been interested in Snooker again, so the sport definitely needs characters like him.

    Again, Hossein went overboard with his comments about Ronnie after the game. I don't get it- he played so well, and yet he just couldn't control himself after the game

    Now even his all time hero Jimmy White isn't too impressed...

    This is going to sting Hossein because he loves Jimmy White

    Hossein is so talented but needs someone to hold him back

    vafaei is ticked at Ronnie, and Ronnie is ready for a show down.

    if Vafaei can back up his words with action (a win or a very close match to make Ronnie sweat), then his pre match psy ops will go down in snooker history!

    Have you seen his comments on Ronnie 😂

    This is what Ronnie said first
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ot...hip-clash.html

    (Apologies for the link to that toilet paper)

    Then this is what Hossein said today

    https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/20...r-championship

    This is a part of his interview
    "He's such a nice person... when he's asleep." 😳 Hossein Vafaei called out Ronnie O'Sullivan after his first round win... They face off in the last 16 🌶 @WeAreWST | #CazooWorldChampionship

    Vafaei beats Ding with what the commentators are saying is the best single session from any snooker player they have seen for a long long time


    He was phenomenal, so many of the shots were magical, gets a standing ovation from the crowd and the likes of steve davis


    He plays Ronnie o'sullivan in the next round. i still don't get why he picked a fight with Ronnie but the next match is going to be amazing
