"He knows I love him. He knows I want to be with him but he's going to be MURDER to live with..."

Ronnie O'Sullivan (new world snooker champion) talking about his Dad (in jail for M1), after winning the championship last night.

Same thing struck me when I read that this morning Bud.

I watched most of the semis and the final - O'Sullivan is without doubt the most naturally talented snooker player ever. He makes it look ridiculously easy.

Having suffered through several losing finals with Jimmy White - the best player never to have won the World Championship - it was really great to see O'Sullivan hold his nerve and battle to overcome the incredibly tenacious John Higgins.

Good final, and an outstanding champion.

Agreed Mr Clark. Didn't watch as much as you, but what I did was well worth it. Haven't watched snooker for years and I'd forgotten how good a spec sport it is.

Sky'll probably get a grip of it now, and it'll end up as bad as the footy, with the snooker equivalent of Andy Gray defacing the baize with his shitty yellow marker thingy and his Cape Canaveral console.

I watched a bit of it yesterday. O'Sullivan's 139 break to go 12-7 up was some of the best snooker I have ever seen.

I think it was the next frame when he managed a high break with the Black on the baulk cushion and he had to do so much to get the Pink in play. (Ooh er missus)
