Ronnie O'Sullivan insists he 'doesn't care' about the backlash he has received after Judd Trump claimed the Rocket should have done the 'normal thing' by acknowledging his 147 brilliance.
O'Sullivan, 46, defeated Trump 10-6 at the Champion of Champions final in Bolton to provide another reminder that he is still snooker 's greatest. But the world no.1 later found himself in the centre of a sportsmanship storm after failing to congratulate the Juddernaut on his 147 maximum break.
Trump produced his moment of inspiration in the eighth frame of the showdown whilst trailing 6-1, bringing the house down as he held his nerve to clear the colours after potting the requisite 15 reds and blacks.
