Darts

:lol: Gates’s counting really is something else, why does he need to look what’s left after hitting s20 T18 from 124 and again the next leg hit S20 T17 looks to see what’s left off 121.
 
Rydz playing well and wondering if he can emulate his '21 rn. His hair seems weirder than ever though.

Decent run in the tournament and he can get a trip out to Turkey to fix the barnet.
 
Great finishing set to an average game.

Not a fan of Smith so quite happy.
Just watched it now. That last set was epic though.
Williams-Springer was really entertaining.
Off on holiday tomorrow, so going to be tricky to watch much cos I won't have iptv:(

EDIT: Looking forward to watching Nijman tonight/arvo UK time.
 
The missus and I were bored on Wednesday night. Channel flicking and we came across Fallon Sherrocks match.

Didnt think much of it, expecting to change the channel again after a few mins, but we watched the whole thing. Then the next match.

We've watched most of the games thus far. I guess we're now fans of Darts. Something I never thought Id say in a million years!

Its a buzz to watch.
 
After my praise of last night's session, Burton-Merkx was awful quality and deathly dull just now.
 
So I look at this thread and then go to Twitter… third tweet down is about darts.

Usually the sharing of cookies/info is annoying but this time, it gave me this…. which I’d forgotten. So close!


I remember that live too. Certain Wade won the set still in a real high quality last leg.
 
Wasn't really looking forward to any of the games today.
I just wanted to see Nijman as my dark horse QF pick. Looking a bit nervy right now and being dragged into a battle.
 
Wow great last set again and unlucky Carolissen.
Harsh there's no tie break in the first round, although sudden deciding leg is kinda cool too.

Imagine how much of a slog some games will be to watch when it goes to 128 players. Thankfully I was at work and it had finished when I got home.
Hopefully Sosing is OK as he had to go to hospital with chest pains.

Oh shit didn't hear why that match was called off, hope he's ok. Trying to pack and watch the darts is difficult.

i missed that it's going up to 128 and 32 extra matches. It's just greedy and will be deleterious to the quality of the tournament.
 
I've not seen mansell play before so maybe that's his usual style but that looked clear as day gamesmanship to me. A slow throwing action is one thing but he was taking an age to collect his darts and was deliberately staggering his walk back. Goto was constantly having his throw disrupted. Bald prick*, hope he gets smashed in the next round

*as a bald man myself I'm allowed to call him that, indeed I'm embarrassed to have him a part of the bald community

Clayton will knock him out next round.
 
Afternoon looks very meh but the evening looks good, not that I'll see any of it sadly.
 
Veenstra, Barney and Noppert out on the same day, not a good day for the Dutch.
 
Barney was pathetic, an all time low in his career. Kenny played crap and still won easily, wouldn't be surprised if Barneveld announces his retirement after, he should.
 
Littler starting two legs in a row with 6 perfect darts :lol:

And now misses D12 for a 9 darter. The guy is ridiculous.
