    He played it odd as well. When John Higgins plays them he makes sure he has idea where the cueball is going. Hitting it firm but not walloping it.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    One of many bizarre shot choices but I suppose he made the scoreboard look respectable.

    Wilson will be lucky to win another world title. He gets too emotional.

    One of the most undeserving "champions" I can remember is Wilson. He won't care one bit though.

    This has been by far the worst world championships I've ever seen. Not just the final but the entire two weeks.

    Delighted for Wilson.

    Poor final but fair play to him. Jones shouldn't have been near the final.

    Fair play to him for doing enough in the end, hard to blame him for shouting.

    Got handed it in the end, why oh why would Jones take on that double, Wilson was gone.

    The damage was done in the first session, but you'd nearly of fancied the comeback and then that double comes out of nowhere and he hands it to him in the end.

    In fairness it obviously means a lot to him to win it.

    Does Jones realise he could have won this? Take away the horrendous start, not even all of the 6 frame lead, just one even. The last frame on the repotted black in the second session. The fluked black by Wilson tonight that Jones should have buried. And many of the frames that Jones squandered on his own.

    The channel was changed as soon as it was clear this was over. Not a chance in hell am I watching that presentation.

    Wilson was the most consistent player of the tournament up to tonight. No one really pushed him close. Well done to him.

    Tonight he was shocking, but it’s done.

    Right, it’s been emotional lads. See you all in September for something less exciting.

    It was dramatic though. There were a few close games in Q-Final, Semi-Final. Quarter Finals in particular was good for drama. There were two other close ones in the 1st round. Ding/Lisowski - M.Williams Si

    But it was definitely a very poor final standard wise.

    Poor state of affairs that Kyren Wilson was the strongest player this tournament.

    He got over the line in the end but he was pretty poor overall, 7-1 start saved him and Jones just left him off the hook wat too many times, he had so many chances to win more frames, on another day the score line could of easily been the other way round, Wilson was actually terrible tonight, think he had like one break over 50 tonight, plus that lucky finish on the black, plus the double Jak took on to gift him it, he looked totally gone in the end.

    Great for the Northamptonshire! Bit tense at the end but delighted for Kyren.

    Surprised he wasn't a bit more disappointed in the end, he was immediately chuffed with the 200k and top 16.

    I don't blame him. I usually have a drink during the last session of the WC. I could have done with one and I was tempted, but it would have been a waste of drink.

    Edit: You know what? I think I deserve one after putting up with that. I might just do it.

    Amazed no one said that in studio. I suppose they want to focus on the "lovely arena" and "spectacle" instead?

    I lost count how many frames Jones threw away. It must be close to ten frames. Was there 3/4 black ball games alone that he lost?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Yeah and could have been a very different tournament if some of those very tight matches had gone the other way.

    Awful shame Allen didn't make it through his one, this could have been his year.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Kyren Wilson is the champion and no one can take that away from him but the standard of play in that final - my god!,but anyway move on good luck to Wilson and enjoy the win . Unlucky Jak Jones.It was certainly entertaining!!!

    Allen must be sick. Easily the most consistent and best player all season. World number one spot not much consolation.

    I watched Mark Allen all season and while he played very well mostly he was prone to some unbelievable bad streaks during matches.I think he's the provisional world no. 1 but he still a way away from being the best in the world that he seems to think he is?

    Just as Wilson will never get an easier World title, equally, Jones will never get a better opportunity to win the World Championship. I would be very surprised if he gets this far again. It was a once in a lifetime chance.
