It is already an amazing match when you are crushing your opponent and your final shot puts him in stitches and gives him $6000. Truly historical.

It was fun watching his score sit at 128 for just a second.

Did I miss something with his remarks about ranking points?
Sarcasm maybe? The humor was lost on me...
Anyone get it?
Pretty sure they started to use money earned for the rankings instead of points...
....Ronnie disagrees
Mr. Wilson:
i think the main point is that, while ronnie is a genius with a cue in his hand, it's seldom a good idea to stick a microphone under his nose. it's a dice throw.. he speaks sense sometimes, but sometimes he starts singing or says something that will land him a fine

When he's speaking seriously -- which he was not as suggested by the bad Australian accent -- he says that he plays because he loves to play and he enjoys the competition. If you want to see his serious take on the win, see the interview done immediately after the match by the table. Compare and contrast to most of the player interviews you have seen.
Which I watched....and adds to the questions, was it sarcasm?
Snooker not being the primary around here, I feel like I missed something that led to the remarks that I simply didn't get...like an inside joke
I had to watch that ronnie interview a couple of times with so many australian references. The interviewer called him aussie osullivan. Ronnie mention 'tinnies in the esky' and having the 'rellies over' for 'barbies'. I dont get it but it was amusing. Ronnie may have had a couple before that interview.

Yes. It certainly was.
No. I haven't seen the one in the 500th in any other match that I can recall.
The one in the 1000th is from Malta: http://www.worldsnooker.com/corporate/referees/terry-camilleri/
From that web page: What do you carry in your pocket: 2 ball markers, coin, and a prayer card
In the 500th the ref is Paul Collier.
He is a well established ref. He was in the 2016 Word Championship Final as well.
Ronnie is definatelly sarcastic about the ranking points. In short the story is that O'Sullivan doesn't feel like entering all the ranking events, as he thinks that there are too many and one after another. He feels like it is exhausting going deep in a tournament and travel at night to be at the next one 2 days later (or even the next day). Barry Hearn says he is free to enter or not enter tournaments at his (Ronnie's) will. While this is true, not entering a tournament means no ranking points, therefore dropping in the rankings. This is why basically Ronnie is not ranked n.1, because he doesn't feel like entering all the tournaments. But this means he might not be qualified to play on invitational events because of his ranking or, have to qualify for other events, which in O'Sullivan's eyes is unfair because he is the best player and shouldn't have to prove this to "empty arenas where no one is watching" (referring to qualification events)
O'Sullivan has even proposed a "break away tour" so he will be able to play in more reasonable schedules (in his view).
So in the interview he is clearly making fun of the current ranking point system and he is showing how Barry Hearn wants players to think and act, that is chasing ranking points.
