Darts

Dont see this kind of game often. Mensur is playing off his face but MvG steamrolls everyone in this form.
 
Van Gerwen could lose the head here.
 
What happened?

MVG had 50 left on his last dart for the match at 3-1 but chose 18 to leave 32 with Mensur on 161. Mensur promptly stepped up and finished the 161 and took the set.

MVG’s face was something else. Proper egg in the face stuff after that Mensur 161 checkout :lol:
 
Martin Schindler always reminds me of Üter from The Simpsons.
 
Love these four days before the New Years break.
Opening match tomorrow Smith vs Van Duijevenbode will be highly charged.
One I'm most looking forward to Clayton vs Rock tomorrow night.
 
Wonder how many times the word embroiled gets said today.
No doubt the Ally Pally wasp will make a comeback too.
 
One thing I don't get with darts, and it's mainly at the main events, is why do they have cheerleaders? What is the point
 
Is this Smith a bit of a prick? Seems a strange bloke
Dunno what the wave was all about. It's an edgy match with neither playing brilliantly and I think DVD does wind some people up with his being so animated at times.
I like DVD, he can be entertaining. Smith's roar always feels forced.

Might be just Smith looking like the most miserable man ever when he plays darts :lol: just looks like he's very arrogant. Might be a sound bloke really.

Pretty sure the familes/friends area is directly in line with that area it's back and to the side from the stage, all the players look there for support at times.

Nah, you can see them look diagonally over to their families and he was definitely waving him off stage.

DVD's scoring too erratic in these last couple of sets.

Fair enough I didn't see the wave itself.

Smith also walked pretty much into him at one point so he's definitely on the wind up in any case.

All sporting at the end. Great game, but how desperate were the commentators for Smith, or Ross Smith as they seem contractually obliged to call him, to win.

Yep he took it well to be fair. Was nervy just watching it as I like the big crazy Dutchman. Great game for the neutral.
