I was thinking President of Ireland - Michael D's term is up shortly.

Maybe Shaun might throw his hat in the ring?

Shame. Better play lost.

Shaun Murphy would tell you himself he lost too many frames by having breaks ended on straightforward shots he should have got

Good final, not much in it but Selby deserved the win.

I thought we’d be spared the appearance of family this year.

He's very witty

Mark came across well to be fair to him

Are they going to give Chris henry a medal i wonder??

Peter File

A good final to end the snooker season.
Murphy and Bingham will be reinvigorated next season.

volono

The negativity he plays with really annoys me but that's his style I suppose. Up to the likes of trump and Robertson etc etc to come up with a game plan to beat him next season over this format because it suits him down to the ground

Overdoing it there with the confetti

Hearn thinks snooker and darts are the same thing

Half a mill!


Not a bad day's work!!

Is Selby's bird Irish or Irish descent?

Addle

Interesting that Shaun was the first up work with Chris Henry.

I think that last res Shaun missed probably dinner up the difference between the two players. I don't think Selby would have went for it and if he did, he's have made sure to give it enough to not leave it over the pocket. Given the struggle Selby was having you'd have to feel forcing him to battle for the title at that stage would have been the smart decision.

Enjoyed that match thoroughly. The best man won, but Murph certainly did give it his all.

Fantastic tournament overall.

The withdrawals tomorrow will be something fierce.

Timewasting and playing on for excessive snookers has to be stamped out

No problem with hard matchplay of itself

Ebdon and others showed years ago that you can use dirty tricks to knock fluent players off their stride

Born in Ipswich played pool for Ireland.

Any chance of Selby going on to become GOAT?

It was an all or nothing shot, I think if he’s four frames down, maybe , but given he was again in touching distance I was surprised.

Well the last time the World Snooker Title was brought home to Dublin - Kerry won the All-Ireland.

So maybe we should be thankful Selby won!

If ever I wished the pubs were open. Chatting to a couple of mates there and we watched of the Higgins Trump final in the pub and it was brilliant viewing. Made a few pound on the overs for match centuries too which made it sweeter. Simple things like that yad miss

What exactly is Chris Henry's role with these players. Is it mental, technique or he is just some sort of guru that players want to be associated with?

Garath Potts gets invited down by Selby for a photo with the trophy.

I checked his age he is 37. I figure that means he has about 8 more go's at winning the World Title.

I don't know why Selby disappeared after he won it last.
Selby said it was lack of belief.

Hendry once thought Selby would dominate the game like he himself did. And beat his record.

But the key stat I took from tonight is that Selby has won 9 out of 12 of major ranking finals he has competed in. That is killer instinct real competitiveness when at the business end.
