    Think that miss on double 5 was Gary's last chance.

    Some mad stuff here from Sky. They switch off the UHD channel - then when I get back to the other channel the cameraman zooms in on the bull when Gary was throwing for double 5.

    Peter Wright is having the game of his life, and still Gary clings on.

    1 match dart and Wright takes it. What a game.

    I am not going to try call tomorrow, but if Wright brings that form Smith is going to need to play the game of his life.

    I’m exhausted just watching that.


    Exhilarating

    Epic match. Two players at the top of their game.

    24 180's for Wright 😮



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,115 ✭✭✭boomdocker


    Unreal

    Can't see Bullyboy living with Snakebite over the best of 13



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,249 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Sickened Anderson didn't hold his throw at the death . Love watching him play, he throws with such verocity and speed. Very entertaining

    Going to be a very close final. Would fancy Wright based off experience



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 225 ✭✭mooz


    Savage entertainment



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,335 ✭✭✭✭klose


    I'd have had Smith favourite untill that game, scintillating stuff from snakebite there.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,689 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    The last time they played Wright had to play unbelievable darts to come from way behind to beat him.


    Hopefully a close match again tomorrow

    Wright favorite for the final at 4/5. Smith is evens. Very hard to call. Hesitent nod to Wright.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,318 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    Ridiculous standard.

    I love Wright but I love Anderson more.

    Gary pulls it out here every time, he’s a hero.

    Wright was relentless but there was only the odd throw in it.

    Respect to two of the greatest of all time 🙇‍♂️

    Cracking darts tonight & I collected a few quid.

    Tommorow night Michael Smith to win, highest checkout & most 180's



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭shockframe


    Fabulous game that.

    Gutted for Anderson. Was hoping he might land a 3rd title before he goes but that might have been his last chance. Still though 2 is a great return in the Ally Pally era.

    The way Wright started was just outstanding. Like Taylor in his pomp.Left Gando with a huge mountain to climb.

    Pressure on Smith now tomorrow with Wright having won it before. Could be fascinating tomorrow night,

    The way Wright played tonight, Smith will have to be Taylor reincarnated to land that!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,002 ✭✭✭celt262


    Isn't it great to see players going at it without any side show on stage. Throw the darts and best player wins.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭shockframe


    Huge credit to Wright.

    Doubt he was anyone's favorite player up until recently but there's lots to admire about how he's got the most out of his game.

    dublin premier league date thursday 17th february.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,259 ✭✭✭Sultan of Bling


    Will be a small crowd with the restrictions.

    Can't see them being lifted anytime soon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,318 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    Don’t think he would.

    He is the greatest of all time, that is not remotely disputable.

    Anderson and Wright are top 5 also.

    Night 3 - Thursday February 17 - SSE Arena, Belfast

    Night 13 - Thursday April 28 - 3Arena, Dublin

    Does anyone else feel Wright doesn't get the credit he deserves? I know he throws a bit slower than the Smiths, Andersons and Claytons of this world but Jesus he is just unreal. 24 180s tonight. He seems to have this switch of gears when needed and is so cool, calm and collected at all times.

    Many wanted Anderson to win tonight but I always love to see Wright do well. A real character and a classy man.

    51 years old and here he is at the top of his game and another word championship final. Legend of the sport.

    Wright is a class act and I think he deserves another world title.

    If Smith wins the monkey will be off his back and I think he could dominate the sport for a while. That throwing action is so effortless when he's on.

    I have a feeling the occasion will get to him though and Wright will beat him comfortably.
