Oh Kyren that was horrible

Pexbo v Wilson in 5 years?
At least he pockets a nifty 200k
Disappointing that the first question was not about the cue action
After today’s performance I don’t think I’d be able to take a frame from the absolute bottom of the local amateur leagues
it was genuinely like I’d just picked up a cue for the first timeJust love him! He doesn't give a shite about anything, but at the same time does!
He doesn't give a shite about anything, but at the same time does!No cue action tonight in his speech!
Spoke too soon! Cue action!
Nice to hear it directly from him acknowledging his concentration and motivation
The people who hate him for his interviews make me laugh. He has fun at times, he is a dick at times, but this one is a proper champion speech!Just love him!
2x as of this postNo cue action tonight in his speech!
Great guy Ronnie so glad he’s won
2 cue actions...cmon...give us more
well done Ronnie. I do home he gets a 7 as well.
He‘s very human isn’t he. Can be a dick one moment and genuine and nice the next.
Yesterday there was no cue action bit found it today! Happy for him and his cue action!The people who hate him for his interviews make me laugh. He has fun at times, he is a dick at times, but this one is a proper champion speech!

Crazy to think he was the oldest player to have won it in 2012, 2013 and now in 2020
Indeed! Makes me chuckle!
Him and the Old lady are back together after 7 years! Hopefully it won't take that long again!
Love the respect for Hendry's title. Saying it's about the first and fastest.
Hope he gets the 7 even more now.

Both good interviews, knew it was going to be too much pressure for Wilson before the final even began, he seems to crack under pressure the times I've watched him the past couple years. His first final here was always going one way against someone like Ronnie.
Thanking the fans like that was a real class touch too.
Ray Reardon surely?
I don't mind Radz, a bit over the top but he seems keen on the game at least.
The old prick he's talking to though 19-18 to Wilson

Reardon is the oldest winner aged 45 years, 203 days. Ronnie is aged 44 years.
For some reason I thought Dennis Taylor was the oldest to have won it prior to Ronnie. You're right, the records still with reardon
Didn't ol' dracula coach Ronnie for a spell too?
@SirAnderson we saw that mate! 
@SirAnderson maybe they need some cue action too.
@SirAnderson we saw that mate!
Right on cue, I average at least 3 posts that don't belong where I first put them!
There's some absolute, know-nothing dickheads on the Caf, eh?
To be fair, Ronnie himself and most of us who has ever listened to him would have said the same.
Steve is a wet blanket, but he loves the game. Saying he wants to see Ronnie winning into his 50's is such a class thing to say from a fellow legend of the game.
Hendry is in awe of Ronnie’s talent. I remember him getting upset when Ronnie was saying he doesn’t really care about winning and doesn’t have the appetite for a battle. He was outraged at that sort of talk from Ronnie and you could tell that as a fan he wants to see the best of this mercurial talent.

Well deserved 6th World title, 19 years after winning his first!
Ronnie had to do it the hard way, having to beat Ding, Williams and Selby, all of which would have been a worthy final.

Another great win for Ronnie having had to beat Ding, Williams and Selby just to reach the final.
Slightly caveated by the fact that Wilson was well below par and to be honest never really in the match.
There were 2 balls of real importance, one in the final frame of the first day, a red that was the difference between 9-8 and 10-7 overnight which he missed.
There was a similar shot in I think the third frame yesterday after they'd shared the first 2. Potting it would have given him a great chance to get it back to 11-9 but again it wasn't there.
I just think the whole occasion overwhelmed him, and he clearly had little left in the emotional tank after Friday afternoon. Had his match finished in the evening I doubt he would even have got 8 frames in the final.
The arguments against Ronnie being the GOAT diminish further but I think he needs to equal Hendry's 7 Crucible titles to put it beyond doubt - his ranking title record speaks for itself.
As for Wilson, he spoke really well after the match and should be very proud to have done so well, especially after not playing his first round match and missing out on valuable best of 19 matchplay before he took on Gould and Trump.
He will be a regular at the one table setup I think, I tipped him a few years ago as a future World Champion and I hope he builds on this and is stronger next time he makes it this far.

Can a maverick really be GOAT ? He's too temperamental. If taking players at their peak Hendry beats Ronnie and so does Higgins in my opinion. But no doubt once the stars align, Ronnie captures the magic of the game like no other player in history.
Hmm, I respect it. But why does being a "maverick" have anything to do with it? He's won most titles of anyone, has been at the top of the game for longer than anyone else has managed and those players themselves disagree with you.
Ronnie at his very best beats anyone at theirs over 35 frames all being equal. When he's on form, no one matches his shear shot variation and ball control at the highest end. IMO of course
