He seems to be a pretty divisive character judging by comments here and everywhere, so time for a poll..........

Don't like him but can't really explain why, he always seems to be just there but never actually did anything until this week.

very similar to trump
bingham is a guy that was winning masters qualifying competitions and all thoes minor events for years he is the type of player that the new Barry Hearn Run tour will suit to the ground he would go to anywhere to play he loved to travel to pro ams for peanuts etc but he never really did nothing in Ranking events like Trump before china now bingham can go to Australia,Germany,PTC for more than peanuts and he loves it.

I voted neutral. I'm happy to see him got to a final though. Don't see why we are suddenly hating him, just because he's never been in a final before and now he is.
I remember when I first went to The Masters though, first tournament I'd attended that wasn't a local Premier League event, and the first match I saw was Steve Davis vs Stuart Bingham. They started at 11am, and finished about 4:15, and I don't think it even went the distance. Slow, dull match.
I've forgiven him that now though.

Its not that weve all just suddenly startedd hating him, we never did like him, found him dull, boring etc but now hes had a few wins and his profiles rose, its more relevant for us to be vocal about it.

Trumps 21, Binghams 35, what a stupid comparison
Though i suspect now that Trump has "made it" the new tour set up doesnt really suit him as hes turned workshy and would probably be happy enough with the old 6 rankers.

Did mark Allen vote in this?
Bingham isn't afraid to speak his mind, he was slagging off Ronnie a couple of years ago which was funny.

It'd be funny if Mark Allen lost to Bingham in the next tournament.
I really wanted Bingham to come out and go; "Who lacks bottle now, sweeties?"

hundred percent agree GJ
hes a bottler and he twice bottled that final frame today, luckily for him muppethead Williams had gave up and was slack.
and yeh the real Bingham was that clown at the Crucible.
lets see how he gets on in the top 16, he wont win a Round 1 game i predict

I'm not particularly a fan of Bingham, and wanted Williams to win yesterday. But I find this mass hatred of him a bit ridiculous. Why hate somebody just because he's had limited success in his career? I could understand if he was some Rory McLeod style grinder, but he's not.
He's won one ranking event, and probably won't win another. It's hard to begrudge the guy his moment in the sun. So what if he does feck all else? He's a guy who has devoted his life to a sport, finally got himself a trophy. I find you have to say fair play to the guy, not tourist him off.
