Graeme Dott, by winning the World Snooker Championship, has created an upset. Scotland finds a hero to be proud of. Okay, sorry - another hero to be proud of.

Wiki puts the final in perspective:

It was the longest World Championship final and the latest to finish. The previous record holder was the classic 1985 final between Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor, which finished at 12:19 a.m. The Dott-Ebdon match finished half an hour later. despite featuring 3 fewer frames, reflecting the slow overall pace of the match— the average frame length was so high that both afternoon sessions only had six frames, instead of the usual eight. At just over 74 minutes, the 27th frame was the longest in the history of the World Championship.

Some people who are talking about it:

• Lennie Briscoe.
• Frame 27 - better than the movies.
• Dott was about to quit snooker.
• Billiard Pulse.
