Warne 'tried to humiliate Sussex'

[Pete]

Why is he a 'nutcase thug' ?

[Kirsty Harris]

Erm, because O'Sullivan regualry seems to lose his marbles, like his latest 'retirement' speech and has thuggish tendancies to his personality, like his lack of respect for many of his opponents, I guess!

[Pete]

He suffers from deep depression, it doesn't really make him a thug.

[Kirsty Harris]

yes, I accept he suffers from depression - something he needs to sort out, however this does not excuse some of his behaviour over the years of verbally abusing other players, showing a lack of respect to his opponents and the fact he is more than prepared to use his fists to solve an arguement. There is no denying he is a real talent, but I don't think this and his depression should excuse his general behaviour to others. The same would go for someone like Alex Higgins.

Anyway, it's my birthday today, Pete, so lets not get into a squabble about it ! Sorry if I offended you!

[Pete]

Didn't offend me And happy birthday!
