Cazoo Masters 2023

boomdocker

Starts tonight, with coverage on ITV @7pm

Some good looking matches, Joe Cullen, the defending champ takes on Chris Dobey

KevIRL

Not a ranking event but at least qualification is based on ranking with no invites. Proper start of the new season really

Will I Am Not

Anderson loses with a 111 average 😬

ThebitterLemon

Lads is this on ITV4?

thanks

TbL

Will I Am Not

Yeah it is.

Will I Am Not

Actually it’s ITV3. Football an ITV4.

ThebitterLemon

Thanks a lot, I hadn’t ITV3 manually tuned on Sky.

Done it just in time for Dirks mental walk on music.

Thanks again

Mr. Guappa

Great game earlier today between Rob Cross and Gary Anderson. Cross won 10-6 averaging 112 and Anderson averaged 111.

be interesting to see if he can reproduce that form v MvG today

hawkwing

Semis are like lads playing at home against each other, nobody seems too bothered and all very relaxed.

Will I Am Not

This is poor stuff from both players.

Agent_47

Cross needs to take a drugs test, yikes he is not all there….

TipsyMcStagge

Is it just me or is Cross absolutely steaming up there?

Agent_47

Not steaming, rocking around 😳

PsychoPete

Cross just wanted to go home I'd say

Agent_47

Couldn’t take 57 out , I mean what’s that about?

Dobey rounds off a poor enough final

Dillonb3

No idea whats going on in Cross head. He gave an interview yesterday daying he'd turn down a sppt in premier league if invited

hawkwing

The cup is hideous :-(

Agent_47

Yeah, commentators rounding on the format, want sets back and for it to be a ranking event

premier league spots announced tomorrow

boomdocker

You'd wonder about Cross - from the sublime on Saturday to the ridiculous on Sunday

That effort at 57 was farcical

Handed the title to Dobey, who's a good player but far from great

Wouldn't be surprised if that's the only televised title he ever wins

Kingp35

These unranked events really are a waste of time. Surely the Masters could be ranked, have the top 16 qualify automatically with the other 8 filled through different criteria.

First proper darts of year are not on until 11th February when the first pro Tour event is on.

Anyway well done to Dobey, although I didn't watch a single dart thrown.

hawkwing

Premier league lineup, don't think i will be watching much of this as usual. Thought Noppert would be in before the great dancing Dimitri.

Michael Smith

Peter Wright

Michael van Gerwen

Gerwyn Price

Jonny Clayton

Nathan Aspinall

Dimitri Van den Bergh

Chris Dobey

Will I Am Not

Probably should be in ahead of Aspinall too.

boomdocker

Luke Humphries should have been in ahead of Aspinall, Dobey and maybe DVDB,

TipsyMcStagge

Can't understand Dimi getting in should be Humphries.

ThebitterLemon

PL is a pile of sh1te, glorified exhibition that means nothing apart from increased bank balances. Watch most darts but rarely this (even though the new format makes it slightly more watchable)

How the hell Dobey got in is a complete mystery!

Surprised they didn’t find a way to get Fallon in.

Rant over
