Nice touch by MVG to say that to Wayne

PTH2009 · 01-02-2018 10:56pm

Decent night here but a bit quite and a few unintersed people here

Deff the new players feel the pressure of the big crowd

enfant terrible · 01-02-2018 11:10pm

wrong thread

RainMakerToo · 01-02-2018 11:40pm

Nice of Sky to throw on the Cranberries at the end for the montage!

hard get excited watching the premier league now i find
to long and drawn out

hard to believe this is same event started in 2005 and only gets bigger

Kingp35 · 02-02-2018 11:32am

I was in the point last night for the darts. Enjoyable enough night but it's just hard to be invested in a darts match when you know there's not much riding on the outcome. I tend to watch the odd Premier League night throughout the competition and I'll definitely watch the finals night but I can't wait until the proper competitions start later in the year.

I also agree that Rob Cross needs to change his walk on music. Absolutely shocking stuff!

Carpentry · 02-02-2018 11:32am

amazing night, amazing darts, great crowd, lot of surprises.

3 x 114 checkout by MvG, Cross was battered.

Wright was bloody awful, not sure how Price allowed him to get a draw out of it, some terrible finishing and terrible averages.

We left when it was 5:2 for Snakebite, only to discover when on the Luas than match finished 6:6, shocking, cinsidering that Price was awfull on doubles, Wright missed bullseye twice, and that costed him point.

Cross will need to change more than his music! He seems very casual and maybe too casual. He got nowhere at the UK open qualifiers at the weekend
and put up very little resistence in the PL last week.
I'm sure he'll have a decent enough season once he gets going but the fairytale is over.

got to get used to being the world champ and all that comes with it . he's expected to win now . a lot for a fella who wasn't on the scene this time last year

any chance you can order a programme online somewhere ???

Bloody left it under my seat and it was gone by the time i relized lol bloody drink

in fairness there are some assholes on this lineup- Gurney, RVB, Price, Smith

kentoccfc · 08-02-2018 1:19pm

Don't usually like the PL, but tonight's will be interesting.

Price vs Anderson
Smith vs Gurney
Cross vs Whitlock
MVG vs Wright
Barney vs Mensur

NoviGlitzko · 08-02-2018 8:04pm

Cardiff looks empty.

marklazarcovic · 08-02-2018 8:44pm

Glad to see Smith playing well,great to watch

_Kaiser_ · 08-02-2018 9:03pm

I had a feeling Cross might struggle tonight after the pasting by MVG last week, and so far I seem to be right although he just got a leg back there as I type this.

klose · 08-02-2018 9:12pm

Cant believe what I'm watching from cross here, whitlock playing poor enough and he will stroll to a win here.

_Kaiser_ · 08-02-2018 9:14pm

I should have put money on that.. Damn!

So what's going wrong with Rob then?

Didn't the same kinda thing happen Gary Anderson after his 1st world title...he said it was tiredness from all the media sh1te that comes from being world champion.
Life changing stuff for Cross,give him 6 months imo and he be back on form.

_Kaiser_ · 08-02-2018 9:51pm

Not a MVG fan myself but credit where its due, that was a fantastic checkout a minute ago.

Great match this between him and Snakebite

_Kaiser_ · 08-02-2018 9:57pm

Great win by Wright there, especially as he was very unlucky not to finish it minutes later.

Really enjoyed that match

SlickRic · 08-02-2018 10:24pm

I can't express fully just how much I hate Gerwyn Price.

He embodies everything you despised in the class bully at school.

JenovaProject · 08-02-2018 10:28pm

Gary Anderson hopefully beats Price...he looks to be over his back problems and is on fire tonight.

Yea Gary had a good game tonight. Great to see him back on form

Barney pulling away here now too.

klose · 08-02-2018 11:19pm

Couple of good games tonight.

He's a complete tool, he throws 180 and you'd swear he's won the world championships, Anderson throws one immediately afterwards and strolls nonchalantly to collect his darts!!!

He hit T16 D10 to finish the first leg and let a roar that would make Tarzan sound aphonic. Better players like Anderson know to just give it time and get into the game and more often than not their class and ability will come through. The 7-3 last night was typical of that.

I do wonder if the opening shots are live.

It was the same in Dublin last week.

There was very little support or at least it seemed that way for Price. I thought as the home player he'd get them going a bit more. The crowd didn't seem to make much noise and even when the camera showed the arena there didn't seem to be the usual pandemonium.

i always think they should do the opening bit from the bar where it is packed

They are live. There was huge queues outside to get into the point last week and then once you're in you have to que at the bar to get a drink! Most people don't get to their seat until the first game has started.

ArmaniJeanss · 09-02-2018 10:37am

7.10pm start is difficult - theres a good reason why soccer, rugby league etc use 7.45 or 8pm as their standard evening kick off time.

Redo91 · 09-02-2018 10:56am

Only 4,000 at Cardiff apparently. Wasn't there around 10,000 in Dublin?

NoviGlitzko · 09-02-2018 11:06am

I like Price if I'm being honest. Players celebrating makes me kinda warm to them if it's in a good natured way of showing passion. Shows a bit of personality.

I don't dislike him for it and different strokes for different folks, if he feels like it helps him and gets him pumped up then I think its fine, its not as if he is turning to the opponent and doing it.

All that said though, he does have a head you would love to smack!

Carpentry · 09-02-2018 12:42pm

Im better on doubles than Price. How he came back to draw last week against Wright, I have no idea, nor does he :P

In fairness from 6-3 down, he threw two 11 darters and 17 in the last leg to get the draw.

I know, I was being sarcastic, he is still sh!te on doubles. Last night proved it.

Liamalone · 15-02-2018 8:46pm

Another win for Smith, 7-2 over Mensur..... said the stage is freezing lol

Ultimate Seduction · 15-02-2018 9:09pm

Smith off to a flyer this year on stage and floor. Hope it continues, what a throw when he's on it

paulie21 · 15-02-2018 9:17pm

Wouldn’t like to see Price if he won a title if he celebrates a draw like that

EPAndlee · 15-02-2018 9:22pm

I'm really not a fan of Gurney

jeff bingham · 15-02-2018 10:09pm

What was up with Wright at the end?

JenovaProject · 15-02-2018 10:13pm

Delighted for Cross..looks like he's getting a bit of form back.
No idea what was wrong with Wright,He was pointing at the oche giving out to cross.

pudzey101 · 15-02-2018 10:17pm

Just tuned in for MVG now

expect him to breeze through should be good though

jeff bingham · 15-02-2018 10:28pm

Wow some game so far

JenovaProject · 15-02-2018 10:35pm

That was some game...Garys doubles let him down in the end though.
