I see he's 500/1 to win the competition outright so the bookies aren't giving him much of a chance.

Another 500/1 shot is Mark Allen's opponent Jamie Clarke. I didn't know the Armagh player played snooker too !

I don't think Selby will hammer him at all

[RonnieFol]

O'Sullivan and Selby share the morning session, Selby will be happy with that, he and Wilson looking good for final

Selby won't be happy at all he Should have been 14-9 up and somehow lost the frame.

Congratulations to Ronnie, I heard an interview on BBC radio , it was much more normal,,where he talked about lockdown and some mental issues, he was also very kind to Kyren
He joins Steve Davis and Ray Reardon on 6 world titles and just 1 behind Stephen Hendry , but moves one ahead of Hendry in triple crown wins

Wrong he is two ahead of Hendry on triple crown wins

[Ryankelvin]

Apologies for that , I got World ranking events and triple crowns mixed up
O ‘Sullivan has 37 world ranking event wins to Hendrys 36
In triple crowns as you quite rightly state O’Sullivan has 20 to Hendrys 18

At the end of the day Hendry has 7 world titles to O'Sullivans 6 ..

It comes down to this really . o'sullivan definitely has another 1 in him but i'd be shocked if he got to 8!

[Bluered99]

It was unbelievable, Ronnie said there was no hard feelings.... Don't think Mark Allen was looking at it that way, glad he won

[DonaldTramp]

Allen beats Trump 6-1 in Milton Keynes.
Thank the Lord and the stars above.
There is a God!

What?Judd who?
I was talking about President Dud Trump.

[Ryankelvin]

Not correct thread
Final of the UK championship tonight between, Judd Trump and Neil Robertson, going to be a late night
Robertson leads 7-6 ,

[RonnieFol]

Hendry and Doherty already had invitational tour cards from this season, they last for two seasons
