Mille my beautiful wife is 6 years sober today! Unbelievably proud of her. Finishing a masters degree at Cambridge University, having our daughter Penelope and now doing her PHD since then❤️ We need to normalize the conversation around mental health and alcohol/substance use, as…
NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE OUR CUES ON PLANES!!!??? Selby said “check this guy out taking a guitar!?” The owner of the instrument corrected him and said “it’s not a guitar it’s a cello”🤣🤣🤣
Incredible atmosphere in the end during the 1000th century. Obviously gutted to lose but I have no problems holding my hands up today. Thanks for all the support during the week and a pleasure being a part of a special moment of our great game at the end. Well done
@ronnieo147
At 7-5 down at the interval. Alexander comes up to me “Hey Dad I believe in you you’ve got this. Just remember when I watched you come from 8-4 down to win the Scottish”🥺❤️❤️❤️ Sport doesn’t always work out the way we want, but moments like this you remember for ever👨👦🏆
Thanks for all the messages guys. It’s been an amazing season and the cherry on the cake for me making the 147 tonight as it’s been a dream of mine ever since I was a kid. Shame not to win tonight but all credit to Jack who played the match of his life. See you all next season😁
No disgrace losing to the greatest match player of all time. Gutted not to end my best ever season on the 1 table set up at the crucible but wish the 4 semi finalists all the best👍🏻 thanks the for the amazing support all season guys❤️
Shame not to win but tonight was a great advert for the game just unfortunate to have the miscue when I looked good for 9–9. Congrats to Ronnie who played great tonight. Been a scary couple of weeks but glad to be back playing again. Have a great Xmas and new years everyone☺️🎄
I don’t know how. But wow what an atmosphere coming out for that last frame and especially at the end. Credit to Mark for the nice words at the end. Time to reset and go again tomorrow. Thanks all for the amazing support☺️
I don’t normally do posts like this but Just want to address my fans who are a bit confused with results. Everything is fine just missing Australia a bit and have a big trip planned towards the end of the year where I’ll miss the last few events. I should have gone last year…
When someone you idolise as a kid and draw so much inspiration from it hits you like a ton of bricks. One of Australia’s favourite sons and an inspiration to many. Thanks for inspiring a young kid from Melbourne to achieve what many said was the impossible. 💔💔💔

@joegentlemanjoe
his only ranking event win was with no family there and I know that would have been eating at him if he never won another one. So happy for him to share this with his family❤️❤️❤️🏆
What an amazing 3 weeks and topped off by this title tonight. Graeme is an absolute champion and never gave up. The reserves are low but somehow managed to scrape the last bit of water from the well. My brain needs a rest lol
This time last year I wasn’t in The Masters and away from the table life was hitting me with all kinds of blows that was destroying my career. Now it’s the absolute opposite, with a baby girl on the way and a run to the Semi finals
#perspective
good luck to both players today👏🏻🏆
Well that hurts. Fair play to Jamie though from 8-5 up I barely had a chance he played brilliant. Tough season all round and some time off needed for sure. Thanks everyone for the continued support I’ll be back much stronger next season I can guarantee that
The worst punishment for any snooker player is to force yourself to watch an event you’ve been beat in. I’m taking it up a notch and will be part of the BBC snooker team for next week Monday to Friday! Hopefully I’ll bring good insight and leave the harsh words to

You can only dream and wish to be a part of a match like that. Means everything to have Mille, Alexander and Penelope to share it with❤️ thank you so much for one of the most amazing atmospheres the crowd created tonight.
@judd147t
absolute class with his words at the end👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Unbelievable feeling defending this title! Wonderful match to be a part of but absolutely gutted for John though. He was unlucky and I had to pull off a 1/10 pot to stay in it or he would have won. See you guys in Sheffield😁
Shame I couldn’t put the cherry on what has been a great season, and in one I know all the players are incredibly grateful that we have even been able to play in such tough circumstances. Thanks for the amazing support as always guys!
All the best to the remaining 4 players😊
No idea what this was going to be like and avoided spoilers until I could watch it. One of the best things I’ve ever seen and whether you are a fan of snooker or not it is an absolute must watch! “The EDGE of EVERYTHING” You can watch it on Amazon Prime
Congratulations Luca! played the game with such joy over the last couple of weeks and great to get another overseas player engraved on the trophy. Hopefully do wonders for the game in Europe. Also a great champion in defeat was Mark and almost pulled off the comeback of comebacks
Well done Bingtao! Very important that China had a big break through after Ding and the massive investment they have put into the young players. Unbelievable attitude towards the game and deserves everything out of the game 🇨🇳🏆
Hey guys. Just letting you know sadly I won’t be part of the punditry team next week as our dog has fallen very ill and needs some thorough assessment. It’s touch and go so all🙏 really needed🐶❤️
That was a tough battle!!
@nr147
is such an incredible player it’s always an honour going head to head with him in a final. I’m absolutely thrilled to be the first person to win a third Home Nations event. And now...relax!

Did you forget his point is raising money for the leagues/grass roots? Give me an allstar weekend over England vs San Marino/Gibraltar any day😁
Keeper came out missed the ball. Player takes it past him and is blocked by the keeper. Of course it’s a pen! Wright and Neville lost the plot in the studio🙈😂😂😂⚽️
Mille, I finally got to know what it means to be married! The love from everyone who was there was overwhelming. To have Penelope as the flower girl and Alexander as the ring bearer seeing how proud he was to give us the rings took everything from me to keep it together❤️❤️❤️
Wow!
@jimmywhite147
qualifying for the later stages of the UK championships at the age of 60 has to be one the greatest achievements in our sport. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥
I’m sure he had many kids around the world try this green. Thanks

Awesome stuff and congratulations

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 matured massively as a player and person the last few years. Also, welcome to the triple crown club!😊
I won best painted army award at the London Open this weekend! Had a lot of fun playing against some of the best players in the country. Can’t wait for the next one🏆🎨

@nr147
could be some time trying to make his way out of the Crucible.
The ever-accommodating Australian is stopping for every picture request😀
A great match played in great spirit. Over the moon to win and no doubt Barry will get his hands on one again soon! Crowds were amazing all week and the atmosphere in the final was awesome👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏆
I have no bias in the city United game but how an earth was that not offside on Rashford. Completely changes the GK’s positioning and the city defenders. The ball was within an inch of his foot. Maybe letter of the law but it’s a terrible one
He hadn't seen his mum in almost 3 years, and tonight she got to watch her son make history at the Betfred World Snooker Championship.

What an interview that was from Dave Gilbert with
@robwalkertv
Meant so much to him and a horrible way to eventually go out but he has done himself proud. As a huge sports fan just watching that you can’t help but have a lump in your throat. A fantastic guy who’s time will come👏🏻
@mrjakehumphrey
City have just won 12 on the spin. Chelsea decimated by injuries and covid the past month. Tuchel got us to the FA cup final, won the CL, won the super cup and just got us into the league cup final…
Australia death toll from Corona virus is 56. Fined $1000 if caught outside unless you’re going to the supermarket or working an essential job. If that was imposed 2 weeks earlier in the UK compared to the £30 fine (LOL) I’m sure the numbers here would be way down too. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇦🇺
Great win tonight but even better sportsmanship from Bingtao as he wished me a happy Xmas and said great match. The game is in fantastic hands with himself and Xingtong as 2 great young ambassadors of the sport coming through👏🏻🇨🇳
Had one of my best experiences as a parent today. Taking Penelope to see Super Mario for her 1st time to the cinema. She got a little scared a couple of times but the movie was amazing. When Mario was powering up and she shouted “go Mario you got this!” Made me 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️
In 2023 alone, Chelsea have paid £88.5m for Mudryk, £107m for Enzo and now £115m for Caicedo.
That’s £310.5m. Then add on top the various players they pay £30m to sign and then loan out. The sales they’ve made doesn’t even come close to covering it.
Does FFP even exist?
Neil Robertson has been named our Player of the Year after his fantastic 2021/22 season.
Ronnie O'Sullivan, Zhao Xintong and Wu Yize also scooped awards.
All winners▶️
Well that’s a new one. While in line for a coffee this morning had a woman come up to me asking to kiss her napkin so she could use my DNA to recreate me like in Big Bang theory🤷♂️😂😂😂
