ThebitterLemon · 03-03-2018 8:58pm

Part v King very poor quality darts but it's building up to a very exciting game

TbL

crasy dash · 03-03-2018 8:59pm

Enjoying John Part here glad to see him going so well against Merv
Only need a leg now to win

KevIRL · 03-03-2018 9:05pm

Part gets there in the end. Visibily nervous at the end mind.

ThebitterLemon · 03-03-2018 9:06pm

Delighted for Part.

Poor Merv fell Apart.

Part is some man for sticking at it

TbL

Kingp35 · 03-03-2018 9:08pm

It's great to see the John Part snarl back on the TV. Into the quarter finals too! No one would have given him any hope the way he has been playing the last 3 years.

Kingp35 · 03-03-2018 9:18pm

Huybrechts and Ian White gone too. Dave Pallet and Robert Owen the winners and into the Quarters. Mad tournament this!

ThebitterLemon · 03-03-2018 9:26pm

Price missing D12 for a 9 darter, couldn't happen to a nicer guy...

TbL

KevIRL · 03-03-2018 9:31pm

West beats smith

ThebitterLemon · 03-03-2018 9:33pm

Depending on the draw we could see an unheralded name in the final.

Hogan looks neat and tidy

TbL

ThebitterLemon · 03-03-2018 10:02pm

Unlucky Hogan.

That was an excellent match

TbL

sham69 · 03-03-2018 10:10pm

Hard luck Hogan, played great but didn't switch when needed. amazing achievement from a lesser known player though, who seems to love this tournament. I can't keep track of who's left at this stage, I think John part and price are the only 2 I know. Great stuff.

Ultimate Seduction · 03-03-2018 11:04pm

How's cadby doing can't watch

ArmaniJeanss · 04-03-2018 12:18am

Gary Anderson v Rob Cross.
Corey Cadby v Gerwyn Price (these two had quite a feisty meeting before).
John Part v Robert Owen.
Dave Pallett v Steve West.

********
Don't know if anyone noticed that the 'from Butlins, Minehead' bit was being left off the pre-match introductions by John McDonald. Fairly deliberate I'd say, the venue/city always gets a mention.

Barry Hearn and the Butlins people were having a few pops at each other last night.

Will be some viewing for this tomorrow afternoon, 2 of the matches are more tasty than the 5 matches most Thursday evenings...

Have not been Cadby's biggest fan, as was judging the book by the cover but after hearing his interview earlier after beating Schindler, thought he came across pretty well.

Agreed. Hopefully he's maturing a bit, he seemed to be a bit of a dick a couple of seasons ago.

boomdocker · 04-03-2018 1:42am

Wouldn't be Price's biggest fan, but he played great stuff, was 3-1 down I think with a 105isg ave but hung in and threw a great final leg in fairness

The match against Cadby will be something to see, although a pity they're not playing in front of a crowd

Cadby said in his interview he wanted to tone his game down, be interested to see if he can do that when Price is whoppin and hollerin

KevIRL · 04-03-2018 2:46pm

Pallet through to semi final

KevIRL · 04-03-2018 4:34pm

Pallet, Owen and cadby the semi final line up so far.

Yep, he is getting to be very likeable too, fair play to him.

Anderson beats Cross

Steamrolled him after the break, winning 5 in a row. Very clinical hopefully him and Cadby in the final

KevIRL · 04-03-2018 5:23pm

Anderson v pallet
Owen v Cadby

buster180 · 04-03-2018 8:35pm

Have to say i am enjoying this darts without having to listen to morons roaring and shouting in the crowd.

Petyr Baelish · 04-03-2018 8:41pm

See how Anderson puts his foot on the oche with his toe over the line? How is that legal? What's to stop someone taking that further so just their heel is on the floor? That would put you about 6 inches closer to the board.

When he is throwing, his foot isn't over the oche, just something he does before he throws.

Yes, I see that now. I wonder why he does it.

Loads of players do it. Even a few on my team. So you can find your position on the oche without taking your eyes off the board

crasy dash · 04-03-2018 9:35pm

Cadby going nicely Owen not pushing him at all.
Absolutely lethal on the doubles so far.

Whole tournament has been shockingly bad really, not expecting a good final. Love to see Cadby win it

Admittedly, I didn't watch any of it yesterday, but have been bored to death with what I did see. This is the last tournament till July too isn't it :-(

Today's matches have been poor on both the averages and excitement front. I've hardly left the house coz of storm Emma so I've watched a lot of it

ThebitterLemon · 04-03-2018 10:34pm

Anderson is class when he's in full flow

TbL

mdwexford · 04-03-2018 10:38pm

Cadby is going to be a major force from now on regardless of the result here.

When I first saw him in the 2016 Worlds I thought he was something special.

I thought he was a bit of a petulant dick in the 2016 Worlds, but he seems to have a much better attitude now.

Agreed he'll be a serious force to be reckoned with, looks skillfull and dogged

He seems to have matured quickly alright.

Like the way he's taking a moment to compose himself before big darts as well.

He will be in the top 16 by the end of the year I reckon.

Yep, in the past he'd get frustrated and fling the last dart at the board, step back really seems to be helping him

Great for darts with him, Cross, MVG, Wright, Anderson and others all pushing each other

TbL

kentoccfc · 04-03-2018 11:02pm

If Cadby can keep those kinds of darts up consistently all year, he's in with a shout for the Worlds.

Anderson only missing the Matchplay and the Grand Slam now from his collection?

Ultimate Seduction · 04-03-2018 11:04pm

Cadby in top 64 already, 56 days quicker than Rob Cross.
