Ronnie O’Sullivan lashes out at Ali Carter after bitter feud and tells snooker rival ‘go and sort your life out’
RONNIE O’SULLIVAN has told Ali Carter to “go and sort your life out” as their bitter feud continues.
The snooker rivals have been embroiled in a war of words since Sunday’s Masters final.
O’Sullivan came back from 6-3 down to win 10-7 and clinch a record-extending eighth title.
However, he was later accused by Carter of “snotting all over the floor” during the match.
The incident is now “under review” by the World Snooker Tour.
In his latest response, the Rocket fumed: “He (Carter) has got issues. He’s got to go and sort his life out.
“He’s got to go and see a counsellor or something. He’s got to deal with that because that isn’t any good.”
The world No1 and seven-time world champion had previously labelled Carter “a nightmare” in a separate rant.
He exclaimed: “I haven’t spoken to him for 20 years. I played with him when he was a kid and shared a lot of stuff with him.
“For him to come out and try to trash talk me like that, do you know what? He can have one of them.

“He can sit on it as far as I’m concerned. I don’t give a f***. You know what he’s like, everybody knows what he’s like. He’s got issues.
“F***ing why has he got issues with me? I’m not having it. I don’t care, grow some balls.
“I don’t give a f***. The more he brings it on, the more I f***ing punish him every time.
“Absolutely. He’s just digging a grave for himself. He needs to sort his f***ing life out.
“That’s it, I’ve said my piece. I’m not going to skirt around it anymore, tip-toeing on egg shells around someone like that.
“Playing snooker against someone like that is a nightmare. He’s not a nice person.
“It’s not a nice vibe he leaves around the table. I’ve said my piece and you’re going to write what you’re going to write. I don’t give a s***. I’ve said it now, done.
“End of press conference? I suppose you’ve got your headlines, haven’t you?”
