    Group G and H look most competitive. Group B toss up between Mensur and Whitlock for 2nd



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,892 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Is it all PDC players now ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,761 ✭✭✭Dillonb3


    Few surprising results in this evening session



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    The mensur game earlier was desperate stuff altogether



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,761 ✭✭✭Dillonb3


    There's Fallon eliminated

    Great news..we can enjoy the darts now and not have to listen to sky bang on and on about her

    The Grand Slam has really lost it's interesting angle with no BDO or WDF players involved. Instead it's padded out with fodder who all get knocked out in the group stages. Once we reach the second round then it's just yet another matchplay event. It also has the stupid situation of players who were in the same group potentially meeting again in the Quarter Finals.

    I never thought I'd say this but I think there's too much darts in TV these days. the non-ranking events really need to be scrapped.

    On the darts, I think Sky are probably delighted that Barney got through as it gives them a nice story. There hasn't been too many shocks otherwise bar Price potentially going out.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭Swaine


    Not even playing tonight and there was full on discussion just now. She's moaning about her "haters", Sky going with the jealous trolls angle.

    I wish she'd just go away, she's crap and only there because of her gender.

    At least Lisa has a bit of class about her.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Mensur S is unwatchable, horrible horrible stuff. Sooner he’s out the better!

    I read the interview, she was complaining that people were cheering when Beau hit the 148 against her. She didn't seem to have a problem with Mensur and Evetts getting booed out of Ally Pally.

    I never had a problem with Fallon just Sky and PDCs promotion of her but that interview shows she's an idiot. A spoilet brat.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,761 ✭✭✭Dillonb3


    What a performance from Ross Smith



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Wright out, missed two darts to go through and then limped out


    TbL



  • Registered Users Posts: 689 ✭✭✭US3


    Josh Rock is special. Can't wait for Thurs night now



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Danny Noppert wouldn’t be my favourite player by any stretch of the imagination but have to feel sorry for him tonight. Unlucky to lose that but Price has balls of steel!


    TbL



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Looks like a very poor/small crowd tonight?


    TbL



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,825 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    9 darter from Rock. Some going



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭Swaine


    What a game that was with MvG and Rock. MvG needed to be at his best to beat him. Rock is special.

    Just a word on Johnny Clayton. What the hell has happened to him? Alarming rate of decline now, his averages over the last while must be a concern to him. Seems to have lost that X-Factor.

    No one is coming close to MvG in winning this thing if he playes anyway near what he did tonight.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Think Price beats MvG, Price will get to him unlike Rock


    TbL



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭Swaine


    I'd have to disagree. Price hasn't been great, he can't heep relying on 150+ checkouts to win him games. MvG is all business in this tournament, can tell he really wants it.

    Think Joe Cullen beats Smith tonight and Price will wear down Barney but it won't be as easy as the odds suggest.

    Barney rolling back the years here



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,761 ✭✭✭Dillonb3


    Didn't see that one coming. Barney rolling back the years



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Simply amazing from Barney



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,280 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    Barney Army.

    Soutar having a mare with his doubles at the wrong time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Poor quality QF there, Souttar would have won it if he could have hit D18


    TbL



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    Lot of missed doubles tonight.....

    Humphries has a lovely action. I don't think many would argue this.

    It's his approach and stance at the oche that has me musing.

    The frontal upright approach, toe only touching leaves him a lot further away.

    I was never a good player and "monkey see, monkey do" played with foot side on to the oche and a lean forward getting closer to board.

    Luke's approach to the oche lends itself to longer hours of practice perhaps but I guess what I'm asking is would coaches actively promote Luke's "foot at 90 degrees to oche/frontal" method for young talent?

    Brilliant game this is. Smith missing lots of doubles. Another major final for him hope he can finally win one tonight



  • Registered Users Posts: 689 ✭✭✭US3


    104 average after missing 16 darts at double unreal



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,892 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Surely its Smiths time in a major final



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    If Aspinal plays like he did in the latter part of that match, in tonight’s final, Smiths wait for a major title will go on…


    TbL



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,016 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Surely it has to be Smiths time to win a major



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    Even Smith can’t fcuk this up, surely!

    Well done Smith, he’ll be a danger to everyone going forward now that he’s gotten that elephant off his back


    TbL



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,892 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Delighted for Smith and have thrown a sneaky bet on him at 9/1 to win the World's

    The curse is over

    Pub I'm in didn't have sound for the darts, why did they take a break with him only needing one more leg too win



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,629 ✭✭✭ThebitterLemon


    It was stupid alright and I’d say Aspinal just wanted to continue but it was a scheduled break at that point.


    TbL



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭Swaine


    Delighted for Smith. Don't think I ever wanted an Englishman to win ever but really wanted Smith to get over the line. Such a talent desrves it.

    Aspinall becoming more unlikeable every time I watch him, needs to cut out the childish faces and gestures.

    Bring on the worlds..
