Any other player get a ban.

Come on Trump.
There is not a person in Sport I dislike more. He constantly trashes the Sport that has given him the opportunity of a fantastic life. Awful humourless personality and loathsome individual.

Trump looks done.

Ronnie just turns the screw at every visit.

Be great to see him match Hendry's seven titles.

Whatever people think of him (and I like him) it cannot be denied he is extremely good at snooker

47 years of age and still the best out there

He could probably get to 10 world titles if he put his mind to it

Great session that from Trump, fair play to him, showed some bottle to get back into the match.

Think it's game over for Trump at 16-11, can't see him turning this around.

12 second shot time for that frame. An absurd ability to raise his game when he wants to.

This talk about moving from The Crucible. It’s not going to happen, is it?

Judging by the comments in here over the last week there were a few tears shed at the result last night.

I think he's the single best sportsman in the world relative to his sport. Nobody is operating at a higher level in their specific area.

Like him or not, it cannot be argued that he hasn’t elevated his sport to a completely different level. He’s been his own biggest rival throughout his career, but when he has his mind right, no one can get close.

It went on about 15-20 seconds longer than it should have for sure.

I haven't watched snooker for years, but I switched on for the final session yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it.

O'Sullivan is an incredible talent, a bit of a tool, but so enjoyable to watch. He plays himself and his demons as much as his opponent, but he is box office for a sport that peaked decades ago.

That clinch... yeh it went on way too long, Trump looked a bit awkward and O'Sullivan pretty emotional. But to have done this over such a long period of time, and still be up there is some achievement. I'm glad he won it.

Whether you like him or not at least he has some sort of personality. Seems to be in short supply in Snooker these days.

You say he always makes it 'all about him' and yet his post match interview was all about Judd Trump. Odd that.

Might not be the worst idea. Tried to get tickets for next year's worlds. Pretty much sold out already unless you want to pay £600 for a session.
