Rocks doubles have cost him
Rocks Out!
Clayton's doubles are sensational I never thought he'd miss

Good opportunity for Clayton to get to the semis, the Belgians facing off tomorrow haven’t been particularly impressive imo and he’ll be facing the winner of that one in the QF.
Clayton just turned it on those final two sets. Rock will be a big name in the next few years.
Delighted with that. Clayton was class.
Doubling made all the difference, Rocks scoring is just insane. Sorts out doubles and he will win it all.
Yeah the experience factor told at the end
Yep including consistency - Aspinall should have beaten him reasonably comfortably last round but Rock played much better for most of tonight.
Very similar to Ross Smith being the better player too,however Dirk's experience of the later stages I think helped massively.
Clayton was the better player last night for sure.
Rock has talent undoubtedly but lacks composure when it's really needed.
Clayton is unflappable and deserved to win that last night.
Rock will be back, but needs more to eventually win.

I really hope Clayton wins the whole thing. I was on the darts team at my college at university and found out that Clayton used to play on the same team (although he was there a fair few years before I was), so I'll always root for him.
Not sure who I want to win in a moment. I’ve got more sympathy for Kim and he has come a long way after a few years of struggles, but I also think Dimi is more composed, more clinical and has the better chance of getting past Clayton.
Hopefully just a good game, whoever wins, where the winner can gain some confidence.

Belgium needs a pick me up after the WC debacle
There is a real humbleness about Souttar
Like him and find myself rooting for him most matches given the incredibly boring "Scotland get battered" chant he gets peppered with.
Clemens is seriously obese these days.
I'm watching on my phone and have had the sound off sometimes as well. The three chants repeated over and over are deathly tedious and I hate that commentator who gabbles on inanely and really drags everything he says out melodramatically. Dan someone? Not sure, but he's on loads and diminishes my enjoyment of any match he covers.
Yeah does almost get that way for me. I have been to the Ally Pally 3/4 times now and it is still great when you are there, but watching it on TV does get so annoying with the repetitive chants. How the Yaya Toure chant still gets done for example is ridiculous.
Sid was one of a kind. Mardle and Part are decent, it's just that guy I cannot stand.The Commentary really is terrible. Quality has regressed down the years. I miss Sid
Soutar is a real battler, his attitude is first rate.
The crowd are wankers.
I like the constant embracing after a match. Always looks so awkward.
One minute they boo. Then they sing Scotland get battered. Then they cheer when a 180 gets hit. Then they do the Yaya chant.
Rinse and repeat.
Half of them don't even watch much of it. It's the whistling and booing on doubles I particularly dislike (some of that is nationality, some of that is betting). Don't have a problem with them having a good time.
Potentially epic tie here, hoping Michael Smith wins the whole thing but from what I remember his record against Cullen during the Premier League this year wasn’t great, could definitely go either way.
The darts was never as good, but the Frimley Green crowd were always alot better.
That's the one I used to go to - just to just have a good time and sometimes saw some decent matches.
Went to make a cup of tea and missed the entire third set.
125 average for Bully Boy in the third
36 darts at Smith's speed too.I went for a piss and missed 2 games
I decided to do the washing up as the game started
Came back and the third set was starting
Would’ve been awesome if he finished that with a 9 darter.
Either way, impressive stuff from Smith.
Either way, impressive stuff from Smith.
The Bully Boy my favourite darts player by some distance.
Something about him I dislike. Don't know what.
Mabye it's me
If these first 2 sets are anything to go by should be a fantastic evening of darts
