Darts World Matchplay

[JaneJeffer]

Michael VanGerwen is out! Makes it much more interesting now.

Great match last night between Huybrechts and Henderson.

Watching tonight. Great match between Gary Anderson and Joe Cullen - a 9-dart finish and a 170 checkout already!

I had given up talking to myself

Joe Cullen looks like he's really enjoying it.

This has been a good tournament for having unexpected players doing well. It's nice to see. I must admit I was SO glad when Phil Taylor retired - I get bored of a sport when one person dominates it for too long

Yeah and Phil Taylor was so smug! I'm not too fond of VanGerwen either. I hoped Aidy would do better as he's a joy to watch when he's on form.

This is good stuff!

I missed the 9 darter as I was in the bathroom! My DH said it was a cracker.

This match is going right to the wire...

Yes and PT is so patronising when he's interviewed - as if he's doing them a big favour by just talking to them.

MVG was lovely when I met him just before he became really famous - not sure what he's like now - our local darts organisation can't afford to get him now!!

A fly

Can't believe the fly!

MGV is probably alright. I just don't like the way he goes on when he's winning. Gurning and fistpumping.

Phil got really annoyed with Wayne Mardle one time over some silly joke he made about him

Ooh this is so exciting!! I missed the fly

Aww sham he missed the double 20. Great match.

*shame

Feel for Cullen but great match.

Missed the nine darter because I didn’t realise the darts was on and was watching Grand Designs!

Laura Woods is really good doing the interviews.

Great match - hope the rest of the tournament is as good as that match

Is that Taylor doing the commentary?

Yes, I think he adds an insight which no-one else has. Don't like the man but he was a great player.

I find Suljovic hard to watch. He's got such a weird throw.

DH agrees with you!
