    I like Durrant, comes across as a decent guy.

    My issue was always with others hyping him too much and using 3 bdo tin pot cups as an indicator that he was one of the best in the world.
    He is a good player, consistent, but nowhere near the levels of MVG, Price ando on form etc.


    I remember when bunting switched and one person said Bunting was one of the best 3 players in the world, just because he won Lakesh1te, lets not forget Kist and Webster won that tin pot as well.


    Price is nowhere near the levels of MVG, look at how willie had him on the ropes, and think durrant is all round solid to give him a good game, and would like him to win, but think no one is stopping MVg, especially in the longer format where he could go to sleep for a couple of sets and suddenly wake up.

    I think Durrant himself realised himself that the recent BDO titles aren’t on par with the PDC.

    I like him, seems a decent guy that has made the most of his talent by working really hard.

    For me he’s definitely a top 10 player now and I hope he makes it into the Premier Exhibition (not that I’ll watch any of it)

    Did MVG go for 141 when Labanauskas was on a 9?

    Durrants age, means his chances of PL invites are gonna be slim and probably needs it this year or the next, otherwise its not gonna happen

    MvG was acting the bollocks a bit there, shame Laban couldn’t punish him

    Labanuaskas was unlucky but has had a great tournament. Do they have a spot at world cup?

    Was great to see mvg missed the 3 darts at double when he tried to rile up the crowd. Criminal from Labanauskas to let him off though.

    MVG seems a bit tetchy in that interview. Is he a man under a bit of pressure? From himself more than anyone most likely!

    a 50 year old man coming out to a tune that 14 year old girls sing, is kinda disturbing

    His antics and his nickname do not go well together at all.

    101 average and 2 sets down.
    In fact averaging more than Price, but Price had 5 doubles out of 6 prior to that last leg

    Has to be said

    darts has a problem in relation to behavior and referring

    snooker is a notch above. Same man at the top

    wanted Durrant to win, but its clear Durrant for all his consistency at mid 90 averages, he cannot live with the elite pdc players no matter how much spin Mardle, Dawson etc put on it.

    Have a real feeling Price is going to win this out now. Well able to pull off finishes and big scores under pressure.

    I can't see Wright being as good tomorrow tbh, but I'm looking forward to it
