Some drama after the match.

McLeod refused to shake the hand of the female ref "because of his religion" he's an orthodox muslim.

Trump didn't show up for the post game interview breaching his contract with World Snooker and is facing a fine.
Hate to go all "conspiracy theory" here BUT: isn't it a TAD ironic that a Muslim snooker player would choose a sponsor with the initials "ISIS"? Where's Art Bell when you need him? ;)

As its' already been pointed out, he's been sponsored by ISIS (not the terrorist group) for over 20 years.

The other guys post had no winky emoticon, the one that made the first political comment, let's hope that's the end of it

Well, I would say Trump got too cocky for his own good.
Pre tournament, he named himself as one of favorites to win the title

So I am not surprised that he is hiding from the media. Plus that "shoulder injury"- was that a hedge in case he lost?. As Rory said when Trump was leading 4-0, he did not look injured :grin-square::grin-square:

Well, I know it is a bit strange to criticize someone like Trump, because he is undoubtedly one of the most talented snooker players today.
But I also think, that he is not ready to be a world champion and that is in my opinion, because he doesn`t really have a B game.

Same type of players are Luca Brecel or Liang Wenbo. If they are on a run, they can beat everybody just because of their potting skills. But if their potting is not on the top, they fall because of bad position play and taking too many risks.

Trump sure has the potential to be a future world champion, but he has a long way to go to be like Selby or John Higgins, who can grind through a match and can win tournaments despite being not in top form.

Trump is the player that can fire a red down the rail and go 4 rails for perfect shape on one shot, and then miss a straight in color off it's spot on the next.

The Facebook live stream works pretty well. I was a little surprised by:

254,410 people like this​

which I guess means some larger number of people have viewed at least part of the stream.

Particularly nice on the Facebook page is the large number of feature videos with interviews, big plays and commentaries.

Do you think that in-off at the end of the 4th frame was intentional? With him, it might have been.

Some terrific play from RO already in this match.
I really can't tell, it's like with Efren nobody knows what are they playing exactly

What I do know they got him mad, that's never good
