i prefer Dale to Gould, end of the story so im not bothered about celebrating.
Sure if Gould had came back from a snooker down then yous wouldnt all have been feeling sorry for Dale
True, because Dale has won titles before.
Anyway, Dale had a job to do too, and he'll take this win. Fair play to him

Gould was the underdog in that match
bullocks, higher in the rankings, higher in the provisionals, much better recent form... he was the favourite no question
and fave with the bookies too. Gould was 1/2, Dale 6/4

thankyou ned
think the Gould fans are upset... not as much as he will be, but he'll look back in a few days and realise it was just a one frame shootout, he didn't put it out of reach, and losing frames from snookers required is fairly common. Happens much more than losing from 11-5 up on the biggest stage, and he got over that no problem, he'll be fine.

will be interested to know how it happened... could be that Gould tried to leave Dale in trouble after getting the lead, Dale fluked a snooker and Gould never got a look in again... or could be that Gould missed a sitter cos he stopped concentrating too soon, then made an bottom of a load of easy escapes.

Gould was punching above his weight in that match as it was. He had a glorious chance to win a title there, and it's gone from him.

Goulds first comments as he left the PTC cubicle were "FREE DIERDRE RACHID"

I really hope it wasn't a fluke. Snooker has a serious problem with flukes, it's a cancer

Yh, gonna be intriguing to read. Love to hear dales take on it all, and see how much it means to him, see how dissapointed gould was. Maybe flukes? I hope not, I hope dale played well to get snookers and a good clearance.

Not a chance. Playing an obscure non-televised tournament against a guy of a similar ranking, and he loses a decider on snookers... it'll hurt, but he'll get over it. Losing in the biggest tournament of all, in front of a Crucible crowd and millions watching on TV, from a much stronger position than he was in today... and then the guy you should have beat goes on to win the whole thing. That's much much worse. Think you're overrating the importance they give these things, he'll be snake hissed off but he won't be thinking "there goes my only ever chance to win a ranking event".

Dominic Dale has won 2 ranking events and been a professional for longer and has more experience. Of course he was the favourite and Gould the underdog in his first final.

See above, the bookies disagree...
Tony Knowles and Mike Hallett were in this event, they have experience and ranking victories, would they have been favourites over Gould? Would Dale have been favourite over Allen?

Crossing the winning line to get a title and then losing it AFTER losing to Robbo at the Crucible is way more likely to do damage. I'm sorry Ned B-H but you don't know what you're talking about. You may not rate the PTC but for Gould it was a major final. Let's wait and see what the man himself has to say. He seems happy go lucky as if he could pick himself up from it but this will hurt him.

I think your trying to kid yourself on here Sonny by claiming this, as a way to downplay Gould losing the match. Of course he was favourite to beat Dale.

He was favourite based on current form and provisional ranking yes, but against someone who has been there and done that in bigger events and who had beaten Selby and Wenbo TODAY both of whom seem to be playing well. I wanted Gould to win yes but if I was putting money on it I would have put it on Dale. And I'm not being wise after the event here.

I think Gould was favourite actually as he was comfortably the form player, and let's face it, Dale is not one of the stronger rankign event winners. I think Gould is a much better player.
Anyway, well done Dale, gotta repeat that because he can't be knocked for doing what he has to do, even if we weren't shouting for him.

Maybe tonight. If he's still thinking it in a week he doesn't deserve to ever win one. Of course what he says and thinks tonight is gonna be more emotional, he's still in the heat of the moment, he'll probably think it's the worst thing that's ever happened to him tonight. It's how he feels once he comes to terms with it that matters.

Gould was punching above his weight in that match as it was. He had a glorious chance to win a title there, and it's gone from him.
Punching above his weight or not (fact is he played awesome for the first 2 sessions) he was 11-5 up and in pol position to win only needing 2 of the last 9 frames to win the match so thats gotta hurt far more than this loss. Also with a favourable quarters draw and it being the BIG tournament, theres no way that hurt less than this.
But he got over that big loss so he can get over this one too.
