I did - but I also feel the final frame was a bit underwhelming - with O'Sullivan conceding the match after missing the green the frame before. Selby had a much better temperament (and of course he has shown that before).

That was fantastic game of snooker, i agree with Nick. Ronnie seemed to just give it up at the end, sometimes he expects himself to pot too much i think.

Wow though, Selby was fantastic to keep his head and play the way he did was great to see.

Roll on April now , I cant wait.

The new organizer guy said he's going to try and put on more tournaments too!

For me there's no better background television than snooker - you can pay attention on other things while keeping track of it and tuning in completely when the game gets lively.

Good to see Mark King having a laugh about it, i really like this whole new direction there pushing Snooker into, its like Parrott and Jimmy were saying at the end theres more countries etc getting involved now so the future is bright.

Did anyone see the promo they did about the 14 year old lad from Belgium, sounds like a great little player.

Loved Mark King's entrance!!! What a nutter haha!!

And yeah Lee I saw that Belguim chap!

He can hit 147s and he's only 14! :O

They were saying he's like a "new Ronnie"

Would be great to see him compete!

Was happy to see Selby win that!

Supposedly the new organiser also wants to add a tourny which the top 64 enter, 1 frame games, 12 min time limit on the frame. 20 secs time limit on a shot, and a foul would result in ball in hand to the opponent (to speed it up i can only presume).

Sounds fun

Both players get DQ if match exceeds 12mins?

Gutted if you draw Ebdon.

Masters 2010.
Superb tourney...concerning the level of snooker.
Good to see Mark Williams back on form.
A pity the Whirlwind couldnt qualify.
Lefthanders are still my favourite players.....like Neill Robertson and Mark Allen....atacking players with good cue power.
Of course Ronnie....best breakbuilder of all.....if he is on fire nobody can stop him....the accuracy and speed of potting makes him a real enterainer....
Entertainment....couldnt believe my eyes...when i heard music when players did their entrance.....it seemed the Embassy.
Snooker is not a pub sport in my opinion.
So i didnt like the american way of presenting this wonderful game. Entrance of Mark King doesnt suit snooker at all...
Call me old fashioned....but i didnt like it.
Final was class; had it all. Painfull misses, big breaks and a close race.
Happy to have seen it all!!
