    Is this the earliest the final evening session has ended? Since I started watching (2003ish time) some of them went past midnight!!

    Is that Peter Ebdon in the audience?

    Yep, he taught Ali Carter how to lose ungraciously. :p

    Hearn's fault, and the stupid 'great shot' banners that probably rustle like mad.

    The runner up medal is pretty pathetic :o They could have got something a bit bigger.

    Yeah I really dont like it, they do the sdame thing in football - it spoils the enthusiasm of the celebrations as a watcher and the kids are completely oblivious to it all anyway.

    I nearly watched BGT, I assumed it would be a late affair! Glad I didn't now

    Is that the same trophy they have always used? :confused: What happens when they run out of space for names?

    Made up for Ronnie, he is such a great player. And I love his little boy being there, he is too cute for words!

    I hope he apologised for the hand shake earlier tonight. Something along the lines of "Sorry Ronnie I don't know what I was thinking" would have been appropriate.

    Hmm what happened I must of missed this.

    Carter tried to stare Ronnie out at the start (no doubt Ebdon's idea) and Ronnie returned it with interest once he'd wiped the floor with him.

    When they came to shake hands earlier this evening in what might have been the final session, Ali basically looked Ronnie in the eyes and wouldn't look away for a good 2 or 3 seconds as they shook hands. A proper no blinking icey stare. Ronnie looked rather perplexed to say the least. I think it was a desperate attempt by Ali to put Ronnie off... or something. It was very weird.

    but they normaly show bits and bobs whatever the match finshes before the interval or no.

    Carter was a pretty dire opponent

    Yes...awful opponent...he only beat the rest of the best snooker players in the world to get to the final.

    He is World Champion material up against a sheer genius at snooker with his head sorted out. The only way you can beat a genius is by trying to disrupt his flow and he tried but jsut didn;t take the pots he could have done.

    Great final.

    Carter was awful, what a pity he bullied his way past Trump earlier in the tournament. O'Sullivan v Trump would have been an incredible final.

    Couldn't they have had a bit more chatter instead of putting coast on for 10 minutes.
