Sorry if this has been asked before but why are they using Ding on the scoreboard and not his surname line they do for everyone else?

They do the same for Liang Wenbo. I think it's a Chinese thing, they use the names differently to us.

I can't wait til a player called Bell or Dong appear on the professional scene.

Le sigh. I guess I can only hope Ding whips everyone next year and the snooker is a bit quicker and more fluent.

What is it with people and their phones? How hard can it be?

[Noodle1982]

fk me! switch your fking phones off!!!!

The need to have a zero tolerance on the fking things.

[johnxjsc1985]

Well done Selby its clear your form struggled but a worthy winner

[Noodle1982]

[johnxjsc1985]

Couldn't agree more! He's just won the World Championship and he couldn't even crack a smile. Ding looked happier than he did!

Who the fk thought it was fitting to name him "The Jester from Leicester"??

[Digger]

All you have to do you nuggets is congratulate him. He's probably got a lot of emotion going through his noggin right now.

Miserable gits.

One of the commentators suggested copying what they do at Augusta for the Masters and banning phones from the room entirely. Sounds like a good idea to me but I don't know how well it actually works at the Masters.

I'm disappointed that Ding lost, I thought he played better than Selby throughout the tournament before this match and he was certainly the less boring player. Still, I guess style doesn't win you championships. He gets extra points from me for coming through the qualifiers too.

I always presumed it's like calling John "little john" in robin hood when he's a mountain of a man.

Well done Selby. Might not be the most entertaining player in the world...but world champion.

[BlackLabel]

Congrats to Selby - not a fan of his brand of snooker but he's a bloody good player. He's only 32 so could quite easily win another 1 or 2 titles at the Crucible.

[johnxjsc1985]

after two days Selby is the worthy winner and if he isn't a smart arse comedian entertaining the public so what you do not fluke the snooker world championship

[Veeayt]

Selby deserved it, he was playing better and won. I also think his playing style allows him to take on any other kind of player, except Hendry perhaps.

Bump...
