    Quite an odd lineup tonight with no 'big' star in the lineup. I suppose J DS is no normal joe soap

    Missed the pre-match and post-match interviews about Jamie Lewis and can only find online that he had many "problems" and developed "bad habits". Anyone know anymore about what he went through? Was just curious.

    In any case it was an exceptional comeback and great to see him get the win. Although I did feel a bit for Woodhouse also. He was bordering on Rob Thornton levels of frustration with himself there.

    Some tension between Meulenkamp and Krcmar :D

    Edit: Krcmar looks like he's having some panic attack on stage.

    Nothing against Woodhouse, but delighted for Lewis
    Saw him in one of the Euro tour events a few months ago and think he barely managed 70 AVE and was beaten 6-0, looked like a lad battling some demons

    Wasn't he a semi finalist here a few short years ago?

    He actually only averaged 57. He was suffering with extreme anxiety. Delighted he won.

    Brilliant 148 checkout from Lauby to level this match. The pace is great to watch.

    Think the wrong crowd noise was played there just before Lauby's second last dart at double. Think it could have put him off.

    Really like Ryan Serle, no dramas, decent player, gracious when he loses and seems to be an all round sound lad. Delighted he won but he might want to consider some specs!!!!

    Very harsh that, completely ruined his rythm.

    Really enjoyable game. Lauby a very good player. In with a real chance of getting a card.

    I didn't realise the crowd noise was there in person for the darts players, thought it was just for viewers at home.


    Wonder if they'd prefer no noise

    I think i read earlier in the year that players were generally in favour of it.

    Reckon it might be even more offputting than alive crowd when the "wrong" noise is played.

    A terrible watch but Mansell played well there with a near 94 average. Puha was rubbish, didn't win a leg and averaged 79.

    I'm not expecting much better from Chinese qualifier Liu in the next one.

    If he can sort out his finishing he should win
    Jones not scoring heavy and surely won't continue to bang in the ton plus finishes

    No - just outside the Pro Tour top 32 and hadn't qualified via the order of merit

    Beaten by Sedlacek in the last chance qualifier there a few weeks ago

    He's very good, he's been doing the sky darts podcast for a while now so I'm surprised they haven't had him on before (to my knowledge)

    Adam Smith the boxing fella is another good addition

    Webster is good also

    Should be a lesson for him, he probably fired Dirk up, who completely pissed down his back after set 2

    Probably better for the competition that Dirk won too

    Haven't watched a game yet apart from Keane Barry. Is it fair to say it's a fairly poor tournament so far ? Lots of 3 Nils and low 80s/70s average
