Remember that pink he played once?

I hear that's blasphemy around these parts.

Judd.

What's with the light display?

Well done to Judd. Has been a long time since he won his last ranker. Now he's done it and in a great style as well.

He,s finaly done it again,he,s won a final and a ranking tourney again.


Well done Judd!.



Walden did,nt deliver today,as i wrote earlier,thats now 3 consecutive finals that he,s lost.


It was,nt a brilliant final by any means,especially regarding BIG breaks,but as often said,a win is a win,BIG breaks are fun,yeah,but it,s really about winning tournaments.



The Walnut made breaks of 61,74 and a *108*.

The Juddernaut made breaks of 55,59,69 and a 90.

Congrats to Trump, Long overdue success.

Next one is the big'un.

Well done Judd

Indeed, and I will take full advantage of my livesport subscription! Finally works on my phone, tablet and big screen thru my laptop! Life is good!

Hopefully the stat that no player has won the China Open and then gone on to win the World continues. I cant stand Trump. When you consider Jimmy and Ronnie are my favourite all time players i hate when people put his name in with them as fan favourites. He is not likeable at all.

I don't mind Trump, he's more tolerable than in the recent past.

Yup Griddy it's a good time of year to have a World Snooker live sport subscription! Hopefully they'll have some commentary. If I remember correctly last year they had commentary for the third (final) round.

He's maybe not likeable to you, but he's probably the most popular snooker player behind O'Sullivan.
I'm using Twitter 'followers' as the evidence. Although, this could be 'flimsy' as it's predominantly 'western' based and used a lot by younger females. (who will find Trump attractive - young, loaded, trendy, high-profile - the things that tick women's boxes.)
That's not being 'sexist' - it's simply the facts of the demographics of Twitter use. Similarly, it is now a fact that the majority of users of Facebook are middle-aged women.

But make-up your own minds - here are the number of 'followers' of the snooker personalities (in '000s and rounded up-or-down as applicable).
(Note: some players don't operate an account.
But, of those that do, only individuals with over 1,000 are included. ie '1' in the following list)
