White is almost comical on the doubles, terrible stuff!

Great bottle shown by Ian White.

ThebitterLemon · 24-07-2019 10:53pm

If Wright keeps up anywhere near this standard no one will beat him. Seriously impressive

Savage stuff by Wright. Some performance.

very, very impressive - keeps playing like that no one will touch him

diusmr8a504cvk · 25-07-2019 12:03am

Wright should be the favourite now. I fancy him to beat Gurney (who I backed before the tournament) and Cross and see the winner of Wade and Durrant on the other side.
Michael Smith is there for the taking for Mervyn King.

Ultimate Seduction · 25-07-2019 12:22am

Ian white is a strange case. He's won on the big stage with cameras on him multiple times, just that they were streamed not on tv. He's never reached a tv semi final . How

diusmr8a504cvk · 25-07-2019 11:39am

Duzza the favourite against Wade, how things change!
Bookies tipping Cross to meet Duzza in the final.

fqollere · 25-07-2019 11:43am

White stalling on the finishes

What was that all about ,was pleased he lost

Trying to compose himself, it didn’t work!

Has to be a mental thing, he's played great all year on the Euro tour events in front of big crowds
Seems he just can;t find it on the UK stages

fqollere · 25-07-2019 4:18pm

it's like he's got backward gears

white had it in the bag

Agreed but credit to Bunting he stuck at it, hitting some important doubles

Wadey and Duzza will be like darting chess.

Ultimate Seduction · 25-07-2019 6:00pm

I think Duzza will average 10points more than Wade in a drubbing.

Deeper Blue · 25-07-2019 7:49pm

King looks like he could pass out at any minute up there :eek:

Would like to see him win here but can't see past Smith.

Johner · 25-07-2019 7:57pm

Merv hits the front for the first time. Got to hand it to him, he’s hung in there well. Still a long way to go though.

ThebitterLemon · 25-07-2019 8:20pm

Jesus how many missed doubles between them there. That was a shambles

TbL

Ultimate Seduction · 25-07-2019 8:31pm

Smith unplayable in spells and un watchable in others. He's improving as the tournament progress though.

Pretty much sums him up, if he could have a bit more steel under pressure he’d be unplayable

Kingp35 · 25-07-2019 9:32pm

Duzza is better version of Wade. Solid but not spectacular. I expect him to go on and win this.

PTH2009 · 25-07-2019 9:33pm

Can't warm too wade at all hes a gob****e

ThebitterLemon · 25-07-2019 9:38pm

Christ this is dire. I'd give up watching except the last time I did that Wade staged a brilliant comeback. He's been absolute toss.

TbL

ERG89 · 25-07-2019 9:53pm

That last leg was torture.
It's like an exhibition with 2 old players.

PTH2009 · 25-07-2019 9:58pm

I wonder is this format the reason for Durant and he could struggle in other ones like the grand prix or the worlds ???

Not taking anything any from him excellent darts this competition from him

Timistry · 25-07-2019 9:59pm

Well done Durrant! Looks like the man to beat

nannerby · 25-07-2019 10:11pm

Wade really is a surly yoke happy Durrant won he seems a nice guy but probably wouldn't be rooting for him against the likes of wright or cross.

boomdocker · 26-07-2019 10:26am

Jaysus Wade is an awful tosser!

Totally agree. While darts isn't exactly a sport played by the elite, I think all viewers can identify with the honest nature of Duzza. We're all Duzza, and I'll cry if he wins it.

sc86 · 26-07-2019 2:31pm

he could be seeded for the worlds at this rate

The Shane Lowry of darts

Be some party in Middlesborough if he wins

I think he's on course for rank 35.

krustydoyle · 26-07-2019 3:32pm

Duzza comes across as someone who now realises how good he actually is.. Fair enough you don't win 3 World titles been a bad thrower regardless of the organisation you throw for. But i think he went through a period over the last 4 years wondering if he was good enough for the PDC and I think he knows now that he really is.. It's a pity he didn't make the move over sooner

Ally Dick · 26-07-2019 8:17pm

Bunting hasn't got the cojones to do this

Kingp35 · 26-07-2019 8:18pm

Serious fight back from Bunting. 9-4 down to 10-10. You have to give him huge credit.

He'll choke at the end. Too many scores under 60. He cant cope when hit with a barrage of 140s

ThebitterLemon · 26-07-2019 8:41pm

Fair play to Bunting whatever happens he’s played really well. Nice if he wins but better for tournament if Cross wins it

TbL

Ally Dick · 26-07-2019 8:42pm

I like Bunting, but Cross has been unbelievable

ThebitterLemon · 26-07-2019 8:43pm

Hopefully Bunting will take heart from that performance and get back to playing decent darts again. Unlucky lad.

TbL

mdwexford · 26-07-2019 8:46pm

Another fantastic match.

Really has been a great tournament so far. Best I’ve seen in a long time.

Ally Dick · 26-07-2019 9:10pm

Who's place will Duzza take in the Premier league next year? Suljovic?

fqollere · 26-07-2019 9:24pm

This is good

Wright's up to his old tricks. Like Bunting. Gets too nervous when it counts

Ally Dick · 26-07-2019 10:26pm

You've got to have the eye of the tiger. Wright doesn't

mdwexford · 26-07-2019 10:29pm

Class match.

Gurneys finishing won the day.

Kingp35 · 26-07-2019 10:34pm

Great match alright. Mad to think that Wright was 1-3 with the bookies before the match. A great nights entertainment.

ThebitterLemon · 26-07-2019 11:02pm

Wright was brilliant and awful, he struggled to finish many out shots between 50-100 and Gurney seemed to excel on them and picked him off.

TbL

nannerby · 26-07-2019 11:06pm

Good nights darts deserved winners something about gurney tho he is hard to take to.
