Selby's one of the least interesting and most uninspiring champions snooker has ever had. Gutted for Ding

Really? even after the likes of Steve Davis?

Congratulations to Mark Selby. I wanted Ding to win, but I have to hand it to Selby, he's granite like Reardon, Davis and Thorburn were.

It's gone rather quiet in here!

The Jester takes it! Yes!! So happy for him. It's such an achievement, especially considering his form has been iffy leading into the tournament and he even missed a couple of tournaments suggesting that he has a lot going on away from the table.

Call him boring, or whatever but if it was me in his position then I'd do whatever it takes to take home that trophy and not to mention the money!

Selby doesn't make me want to pick up my cue again. The style of the game's moved on since the days of Davis but Selby just plays like Ebdon on tranquilisers at times.

You'd never know Selby just won a world championship if it wasn't for him holding the trophy. Looks about as excited as winning a game of Bingo.

Either way a great night for Leicester.

That occurred to me, too.

Must be about the first tournament ive seen where i don't think selby has forced a re-rack, seems to be a part of his game thats really irritating.

There was a re-rack in the final!

Was a great tournament, some cracking shots. Disappointed we didn't get a 147 though. Ronnie probably would have tried for one if he didn't get knocked out so early.
