Darts

Barney's been looking cool all tournament but the head shaking is back.

EDIT: Mardle saying the same.
 
Sorry for anyone who has put $ on barney, but I think Phil will win this easily, 6-1 or 6-2 I think

It is kind of looking that way. Needs a big out shot or something to kickstart him.
 
Ouch, brief flicker extinguished there...
 
There's not been many upsets this tournament, the favourites have generally won. MVG will be the underdog against Taylor, he'll have to raise his game to unseen levels to beat the power
 
Very disappointed with Wade tonight...he is much better than that. Fair play to Van Gerwen though he is a force right now. Barneveld needs to stop being a fanny and get his shit together...he is a tit when he gets like this.

They were joint favourite at one point (MVG and Taylor). Mikey might even edge it for the final, assuming Phil gets through.
 
Only a set with throw, but 3-0 would have been curtains.
 
Barney looked a broken man there. Was hoping he would have put up more of a fight.
 
Taylor well in control. He still has the Indian sign over Barney. Over most of the 'Old School' in fact.
 
He needs to man the feck up, no wonder his missus left him

Thought Sylvia has been over supporting him. She certainly was earlier in the tournament. Taylor just seems to have the hex over him.

Only recently which coincided with some return to form for him. He looks like he's back to his gutless self though.

Yeah when he won that tourny. Bit harsh, he has had a great tournament- beaten Whitlock and Anderson, just not given a good show of himself tonight against the best player ever.

Yep said that the other day in this thread

The power still has the hoodoo on some of the older school players. The up and coming players dont have that baggage against him.

Which is why an MVG vs Taylor final will be interesting. He wont hold any fear and dismantled him recently anyway

Don't mouth off then and come out like a sheep, really disappointing.

I'm disappointed- I wanted him to win, but I just don't want to kick a man when he is down.
 
All this bollocks about not being scared of him, not being scared of anyone etc. He's absolutely bottled it, and his credibility will mean he can't come out on top in any future mind games. He'll never win the worlds again, and I'm not sure he'll ever win another major tournament again.
 
He's going down with a whimper here. Barney, you're one of the all-time greats yourself. Start acting like it and grow a pair ffs.

We all thought that before he won the Grand Slam. Maybe he will just need someone else to knock out Taylor!
