😊 Ronnie O'Sullivan exits The Crucible with his head held high | 2024 World Snooker Championship 

It was initially a high-quality final session, but Bingham ran away with it. As a Ronnie fan, I feel disappointed that he's knocked out, but you have to give Bingham his credit as he played phenomenally. I like Bingham and would be happy to see any of the semi-finalists win now.

RIP to the snooker viewing for the Semis and Final.

Spoken like a true sportsman. Well said and played Ronnie

The heart always sinks a bit when Ronnie goes. Hopefully he will be back again an get the record.

Conditions were a massive leveller this year definitely. The three best touch players (Ronnie, Trump and Allen) all going out can’t be a coincidence. And lack of century breaks backs this up.

In my opinion Ronnie's problem is that he's such a good player. When he comes up against someone who's also playing a very good game and ends up making it an even and competitive match, he tends to think he's playing badly and gets frustrated with himself because he's used to being so superior to everyone else. I've seen it happen several times and yesterday at the end of the game it started to show in his expressions.

Abt time they have sorted the pockets. For loads of years the commentators were saying the pockets were tight yet they were flying in high of the jaws and high of the cushions a bit like big pocket pool tables when they never should of been going in. Going by this year's pockets they have really been deceiving us, this is what the pockets should be. Been saying for a long time, you can see when you watching, how has that gone in hitting so high up, I feel vindicated now. These are best players in the world it shouldn't be like that. Hope they keep these pocket fittings going forward, for me it's made it far more entertaining, that you might get a miss, than predictable first chance, end of frame, one dimensional, no tactics or safety play to speak of. Was just becoming a game of first chance and not really a game or contest. That has changed somewhat this tournament with proper pockets. The match was very enjoyable, well done Bingham !!

Fair play to Bingham but that’s about as bad as I’ve seen Ronnie play in the last year that first session was horrendous I don’t know how he got out of it 4-4.

In tears all night 😭😭😭😭🍀🏳️‍🌈♥️🏳️‍🌈♥️🏳️‍🌈♥️🏳️‍🌈♥️🏳️‍🌈♥️🏳️‍🌈♥️🏳️‍🌈🐐

Fair enough. But such a shame he missed his chance to win all triple crown events in one season. Also it could have been a great chance for Judd to win his second World title, but he missed it too. Can't believe them both did it at the same day.

Go all the way Dave ..I'd love it

All these players are capable of beating each other on any given day

Absolutely gutted. Would have been a dream for 888 in one season, especially with who was left in 😢. Still an absolute legend 🐐

Most disappointing semis since my wedding night.

Bingham played really well, no shame in that for Ronnie.

worst semifinal line up in years

You could tell Ronnie was getting best after the second session really messed me weekend up

He lost it when he started disrespecting desi 🤡

I honestly think the issue with the crowd coming in rattled him. You could see he was agitated. Personally I didn't think there was any need for him to speak to the ref the way he did, she was only doing her job. But he has form in that regard, absolutely delighted to see him out

Stephen Hendry is the true goat 🐐 and his record will never be bettered!

No more bellends shouting Ronnie every shot now 🙌

When Bingham is at his best it surprises me that he's not won more. One of the best break builders around. Sometimes just lacks self belief and maybe concentration.

Imho a crazy decision not to go for the red. I didn’t get the sportsmanship angle, once the black was spotted properly just knock the red in, Bingham had no issue whatsoever. Strange one!

Not taking it away from bingham but he did get the run of the ball on several occasions not only against ronnie but also jack. Also seemed like every time there could be noise booing from table 2 and people moving about it was when ronnie or jack were taking shots

Best worlds for a few years, look at last year. Real Snooker fans like to see a new champ as well as the favourites win now and again. Totally unpredictable now, love it.

Fantastic attitude fella , great tournament

Ronnie saying something sensible is about a 1 in 5 chance. The odds are shortened still when he's on Eurosport, where he seems more comfortable.

Bubbles burst 🎈 📌 💥

Good man ! great perspective spoke beautifully, you win some you lose some he is the greatest player ever and his mental health physical health is all that he should be thinking of.

Great to see O’Sullivan out. Now let’s sit back and enjoy the rest of the tournament.

It's good to see Ronnie smile

I'm a Ronnie fan more than a snooker fan and so that's the end of the tournament for me. He's a natural talent I actually understand his mentality it's not about winning at all he just wants to feel comfortable when he plays and for the game to come easy to him, when it doesn't he don't enjoy the game. I'm a golfer and am exactly the same I love the feeling of a perfectly struck ball and it feeling natural more than I do fudging a low round together. When you're not hitting it right and it's all a struggle and feels alien I hate the game and want to quit. Some people will never understand this mentality as all they want to do is beat their mates for the ego and that's fine, each to their own.

Bingham was the better player today. He was more clinical with his breaks and missed fewer easy balls. Good luck next year Ronnie and I hope Stuart wins his 2nd 🏆 really top bloke !

A great champion being gracious in defeat. He has nothing to prove and the better man won on the day. Not many in his position could be so gracious!

Ronnie will alway be known as the greatest of all time. The game won’t be the same without him

Love Ronnie and very impressed with the optimism he reacted to the loss. Genuinely looked excited with the game - that's what we need!

Ronnie demonstrating his Greatness here in a very open, honest and gracious way . . . WSC 2024 could well be remembered as The Year of The Qualifiers, it wasn't to be for Ronnie this year but he still has plenty left to give to his chosen sport and to Snooker Fans all over The World, he's truly a Great Man and a Great Ambassador for Snooker. 🎯👊💯💯

Brilliant match...ronnie wasnt his best but played well...Bingham made mistakes but wasnt punished enough..apart from that Bingham deserved the win..that guys got heart and determination...great match.

Glad to hear Ronnie in good form.

Hasn’t been on it all tournament called it from the first 4 frames

Great session. Both players playing top notch stuff. Stuart was fantastic.

The best have gone

Only Ronnie can inspire opponents to play that well! There’s no way Bingham repeats that form.

Man's devastated that he never beat hendry lol. You can see the pain in his face

Strange guy. Keeps saying how pleased he is with how he is hitting through the ball despite the fact this is the worst I've seen him play in any world championship. So many chances offered up to Ryan Day in the second round and then the same again against Bingham. Not surprised he lost.

How the fuck did that happen ffs

Glad hes out now the saudis wont have the champion as a cheerleader. The world championship should be at the crucible. Well done Bingham👏👏👏

Can't see Ronnie getting the 8th title now

0:23sec, Ronnie hunged in there, good on him.

Legend!

Pockets are very unforgiving, good to see Ronnie so positive.

Ronnie was poor but Bingham had to play out of his skin to win says it all really. Bore fest for the rest of the tournament massive switch off incoming!

So three great snooker players exit the crucible ie judd Ronnie and John miracles do happen wow didn't expect that great TV xxxlol ❤❤❤ best wishes 2:12

He said thank you in Mandarin at the end 🤣

With his head held high. Or bullying the female referee when she is making the correct call, being obnoxious & rude to her later on & then claiming she & the other referees are out to get him-pick one.

He is the GOAT but if you were being fair, he wasn't playing great. I thought if he makes it through and playing on this form, he wouldn't get beat in the semis for sure, even against Jak Jones.

People said oh the draw has opened up but just shows you never know what can happen and Stuart Bingham is a former world champion so it is not new to him which could stand him in good stead and good to see Ronnie being positive in the interview.

Ronnie is undoubtedly the greatest snooker player ever so far, but I have to say that apart from him not playing well right now, he is not at ease with himself, whereas only a few months ago, he was a lot more relaxed and having a lot more wins. He is undoubtedly under a lot of pressure right now, making remarks about and to the young referee, and remonstrating about the audience not being seated. He will get that 8th title, but needs to throw off the pressure if he can!

Bottler Ronnie O'Sullivan. The pressure was all too much for the 2nd greatest player of all time 🏆

Great result.

Yes ronnie he was

Hope Kyren wins it. He's underrated and deserves a major win.

Best wishes Ronnie! 👍

Ronnie was all over the place. He has won The UK and Masters this season but didn't even play well in them and still won.

Bottled the last three frames. Well done SB.

Next couple of days will be boring snooker wise but will definitely tune in Monday night. Always a special moment to see a new snooker champion crowned , just have to wait another year to see Ronnie's 8th.

You could tell she was itching to ask about the door situation 😂

Enjoy your summer off with ya!

Still gutted felt like ronnie didn’t get into his a game hard to get used to the tables but fp Bingham on form

Bingham was better player from start to finish Ronnie struggled all game & missed pots he never normally misses but fair play to Bingham hope he wins it now nice guy.

That was his best chance to get 8. Everybody was out

With all the retirement talk lately, it's nice to see him be positive about this.

Ronnie did well to stay composed and fight back to keep the game level until 11-10 whereas if this was a couple of years ago he would have checked out mentally earlier on in the game. He's learning to hang on in there and building resilience when under the cosh. As for going for the 8th title, he should be allowed to do it at his own pace.

Funny how Ronnie does be depressed after 10-1 whitewashes of opponents yet this time he misses sitters everywhere but is happy with his game and how he played. He clearly was fed up and frustrated off all the misses in the last 2 frames whacking the table a few times . But doesn't want anyone to talk about it so doesn't mention it. But still the greatest of all time 🙌🏻😀

Anyone slagging off the semis, go back to your favourite sports. Snooker fans know that all semi-finalists deserve their spots

Also liked the comment door gate by Steve Davis he found it amusing risha xxxlol ❤❤❤ best wishes 2:12

Felt like Ronnie dropped his focus as he felt Bingham was better. Took on shots that he normally wouldn’t. Like the way he slammed the yellow for snookers required. The killer mentality even if you play below your standards wasn’t there.

Hope Dave Gilbert wins it now, praying it’s not a Wilson - Jones final that would be a bore fest!

He's still a winner

Next year 😊

When Ronnie is out, I'm out too. Who cares about Gilbert-Wilson or Jones-bingham

Humble in defeat

Boring Final

Well we all know who is a happy bunny.. Stephen Hendry. No eighth WC title this year, Ronnie! 🤭

Never looked that Good by the Match reports, Don't see ROS getting 8 WC now tbh. Too many easy misses proliferating ROS & Higgins. Williams actually looked the best the last couple of Months. The holy trinity class of 92, What a ride but I think we're coming to the end of it now..... Difficult to see who is going to pick up the Baton, None in the last 4 but I actually see it coming from China, Si or Yeulong (who was really disappointing in qualifying this Year) Hope Kyren wins it tbh.........

Ronnie bends over the table, his cue he begins to draw. He hears a noise behind him and says, "Would someone shut that door!" The door makes a loud noise as he takes the tricky shot, he miscues the shot and says, Oh look I've missed the pot!

It looked like Ronnie played badly on purpose and didnt want to go further in championship ( like lot of t imes ) because he missed a lot of easy spots especially at the beginning of 3rd session when Bingham maked errors

let's face it: every fan knew he played - in his standarts - already horribly against Day and it continued in the first sessions against Bingham ... ... it was kinda to be expected that ronnie would lose this match :(

The 888 triple crown grand slam was simply impossible. Should've been left within the figments of vivid imaginations.

True sportsman Ronnie and well played Stuart.We could have another new first world champion but I think Stuart will take some beating .

O Sullivan done game over

I have a question for the snooker community out there. my parents gave me a ticket for the Ronnie-Trump semi for my birthday. now that will be Bingham-Jones. what should I do? I clearly don't give a fuck about that match and the whole tournament now. should I sell it?

Love Ronnie but fuck he chats some shit

I told you all that Ronnie will never be the goat.

Commentators will hav too crawl out his arse😂😂😂😂

He played like Gilbert O'Sullivan 😢

Higgins, Trump, Ronnie all out. Not much interest in the semis now tbh

I did a 10 Bob double on both judd and Ronnie to lose. Great it came through finance wise but gutted for snooker that it did

Either we're gonna get a new winner this time, or Bingham will win his second title. My money's on Jak though, come on Jak!

Best championship in years.
