http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/snooker/13262328.stmI mean it was just quite incredible. I had goosebumps through the whole thing. I loved that so much! Im just so happy to see snooker like this, its incredible. Barry Hearn

Genius, what an atmosphere! its the best atmosphere ive EVER seen in anything. So jealous of the people in the crowd. It must have been an amazing moment for them.

It was incredible, never seen anything like it, even stone-cold Willie was welling up in the box. But Judd is the man to thank for this explosion of love for the game, he has captured the public's imagination, never before has a crowd been so up for a match at the Crucible and they were mostly for Judd

Fantastic atmosphere. Electric for both players and Rob Walker was going berserk whipping up the crowd into a frenzy.

Awesome. Neither player could wipe the smile from their face. Would've loved to have been there.

Im gutted not to have been there too
I definitley want to go next year! Hope they dont change anything about the world championship now. They made some few changes like the entrance for the final and the start times of the final which has been great.

I have to say it would be hard to beat Goffs for any final. Drink + Irish = NOISE!

I was there too and didn't have a clue what that was all about. It was fantastic to be there. I put it down to the Judd factor.

Rob Walker told us all to stand up before the match, but he always tries to gee the crowd up, and it never goes that far... Maybe it was the fact that people are really getting behind Trump, I dunno. But people were really, really psyched about being at snooker.
As somebody who gets that excited about attending the Welsh Open, it was an amazing sight to see.

One does not simply output John Higgins.

But immense credit to Judd. He pulled off some shots that were impossible. I'm sure no other player in the world could pull out some of the pots he did. John Higgins was spot on in his analysis saying that Judd was playing a new brand of snooker. I'd be surprised if he doesn't win a world title now.
A couple of months ago Judd was a kid with potential, that didn't seem able to convert it at the venues. However he's on his way to being a great now. Incredible improvement over the past couple of months from Judd.

the accuracy at speed down cushions was phenomenal never seen anything like it but at the same time his overwhelming need to knock the living daylights out of the balls cost him the match at the end.
he lost 2 maybe 3 frames final session by just bashing the balls i hope hes learned from that and hope someone in his corner pointed that out to him.
