While the stupid rubbish goes down in other threads, I'd like to make my last post of the night on a more positive note.
I am not a fan of O'Sullivan the person and I have made that clear enough on here (probably to your infinite annoyance). I would like nothing more than for him to have been spanked by Robbo tonight. But there are times when you have to show respect for a genius and tonight was one of those times.
I did not see the first session but gather Ronnie played extremely well. In the evening session Ronnie was superb and made the game look very easy. I know how hard the game is and for that, I have to take my hat off.
I thought he handled the 1000th century with the respect it deserved and he was generous in his speech at the end.
So to all the Ronnie fans - Holden, Andre, Rocket, Erza and many others - tonight I know you enjoyed watching something special that will stay with you for ever. I have had ups and downs with all of you but I am not pigheaded enough to be bitter or upset about what we saw tonight. It was a special moment.
The best man won and you deserved that sweet success for your unswerving support.
