Absolutely brilliant, I can’t remember seeing Ronnie so interested in an interview. When Mark was talking he never took his eyes of him that’s two people going through the same thing. Well done to both players.

It was a wonderful interview, not rushed or pressed just a natural conversation on such a sensitive issue. Credit to Ronnie, Mark, Alan and to Radzi for letting it flow. Eurosport is fantastic for their coverage as a whole.

The interviewer didn’t interrupt them. That’s what made this discussion so great

[iwbus]

This is such an important, pivotal video, these guys need support. I got help because of Selby and his mental health tweets from a few years ago, talking about it is so important

[rubbish]

It's so good that this was essentially just off the cuff on the back of the match. Big props to Eurosport for not cutting it short and giving it the time it deserves

[DJStrobe]

Well said mark. A lot of people dont discuss there feelings with friends because they dont want to share the hurt and make them feel bad. Very well said

[houssama]

This is crazy, mark and ronnie on the same table, u can feel the RESPECT

I'm 54, life long Snooker fan. Love the game...not very good (47 highest break, 75 on my little table). This little chat is brilliant - so honest and open. Ronnie the GOAT and Selby - absolute granite on the table and the only player that really threatens an on form Ronnie, I feel. And Alan, also a very good, respected pro. All talking honestly about the tough mental side of the game. The presenter is great at making the players feel relaxed enough to open up also.
The irony is, although O'Sullivan and Selby's playing styles are quite different, they are actually very similar mentally.
Great interview.

Probably one of the most interesting, thought provoking and important discussions in Snooker ever. Hopefully the authorities are listening, this isn’t just a watershed moment in post match analysis but for Snooker as a sport.

Additionally much has been said on O’Sullivan and Selby’s rivalry, but you can tell they have the upmost respect for eachother. On the table they are two of the most competitive beasts to ever grace the game, although their playstyles don’t suit one another and it sometimes boils over on the table. However, you can tell their respect for eachother off the table.

This discussion was absolutely mesmerising, and kudos to Radzi and Alan, just letting them chat it out without interruptions. Eurosport really is the gold standard for in-depth Snooker coverage and analysis.

Love how there was no rush in this interview and just allowed it to flow through. Really good to see and great to see Ronnie and Mark talk about mental health because it is important

[JJSnookerChannel]

That’s a really candid and useful conversation the lads had there and it was very refreshing to hear top people in their sport talking openly about their struggles. Well done lads

[grahamd]

This was an absolutely brilliant interview, and full credit to Mark and Ronnie for being so open and honest about mental health. These guys, and Alan, speak so much sense and this will really help viewers realise how important mental health is. And how important it is to talk openly and honestly - there is no shame if you don’t feel great. Well done Mark, Alan and Ronnie.

[Maxjo]

I hung onto their every word. I always thought they were enemies but that looked like they’d found a common ground and made peace

[sticksman]

Mark is a class player and class act. He should be more popular. Great servant of the game.

[onelove]

I hope Mark wins another world title. He's a great bloke and a fantastic snooker player. Good luck, Mark. Stay strong. 💪🙏 You're playing great again.

[damianleah]

Great interview, it’s really difficult to get across how debilitating depression can be. Mark Selby did a good job in trying to explain it a little.

[TheBillPodcast]

Thank you so much for posting this brilliant and important conversation - huge respect to everyone involved.

[phil]
