Ronnie was spot on...
he might be falling assleep in China, just like Selby was here lol...
I think he goes there more for the promotional money he gets than actually winning.

Whitewashing Higgins was more than enough to make this a good tournament for Ronnie

Decider would have been great, even if Ronnie lost it.
Well played Shaun.

Can't wait for the Shoot Out. Will the Watford curse continue or can Magoo retain his title?

Quality wise?
From Ronnies perspective that's the worst I've seen him play in a final. From start to finish. His first session in the UK final against Selby was up there but he obviously turned it around in the 2nd.
But this one was bad from start to finish. He missed some pots by an absolutely mile. But as I've been saying since the start of the week. I don't rate this tournament that much.
And imo Ronnie has a very good chance to win the UK Championship.

somebody wrote:the best player has won. but what a poor final all the same. pleased all the same with the attitude of ronnie who fought until the end.
No, the best player lost. However, that's snooker. Luck plays a significant role at the highest level.

Murphy was the best player all day.
Yes he was lucky at times, but even Ronnie had a tremendous fluke in this session.
Murphy's long potting was amazing.
Ronnie's whole game, potting, safety and long potting was some of the worst in a Final.
No worries though.

Congrats to Murphy I guess lol
Didn't expect that at all. Murphy was there for the taking plenty of times but Ronnie played rubbish from being 2-0 up. Too many chances missed and was quiet lucky to nearly get it to a decider. Wow just 1 ball away lol
Shame because he was the player of the tournament and deserved to win this.

True, but Ronnie will play better in a more important tournament, Smurf won't.

Let's look at the bright side of this final: Ronnie made another ton. Only 99 to go until he reaches 1000.

no it wasent Ronnie wanted to humiliate Shaun 10-1 or 10-2.
i believe he put to much pressure on himself to do that and when it wasent happening he got frustrated.

Well played Shaun.
Well played if you like 89% pot success rates and no centuries in a best of 19 match. Yes, well played Shaun

from a mental point of view whitewashing Higgins was more important because he'd struggled against him since a decade but you're still right with your comment. Ronnie wanted to humiliate Murphy and it didnt work.

Ronnie loves one table set ups playing 128 in york is not as enjoyable or as important as this week for him.

Probably about the length of time it takes me to pick up the £65 I've just won for betting on Shaun.

Murphy did the smart thing and kept his mouth shut this time. Usually he's always whining about something or other regarding Ronnie.

Sometimes I bet on Ronnie to lose a final because I like financial compensation for being disappionted. Also I like to watch it without getting too nervous.
