Potentially tricky first tie for Gary Anderson, last on tonight v Adrian Lewis.
The O’Connor game was good earlier
Hoping this will be a good game. Lewis has had a terrible few years but he is a cracking player when it clicks.
Can’t see Anderson beating him
Double double from Anderson there, sweet as a nut!
Easy peasy.
Very easy in the end!Quote:

Garbage early on but he motored away and won easily in the end.
Aye, blew him away, happy days! 🍺Quote:

Backed Michael Smith at 33's.
Borland v Brooks is the best first round match at the PDC Worlds that I have seen. A nine darter to win the decider set 3-2. Brilliant.
That was absolutely incredible and what a celebration. Hopefully now he'll change his nickname to something to other than Big Willie 😂Quote:

Absolutely epic performance from big Willie, but those two are the future of darts. We could be looking at the new Jocky v Bristow right there.Quote:

Young lad from West Lothian just hit a 9 darter to win on his debut performance 👏 👏👏👏
how good was that game. Some brilliant darts and to win the final set 3-2 on a nine darter fantastic.Quote:

That was quality. Especially with the crowd singing the ‘Scotland get battered’ song. Did quieten down as the leg went on right enough!
Bugger, been flicking channels all night and missed that.
Great effort. Have we found a tenuous link to him being a life long Hibs fan yet?
Probably spelling but is it too much to hope he is a relative of the famous shop on Leith Walk where you could buy flights, stalks and a telly?Quote:

Oxymoron 😀Quote:

Peter Wright takes the first set. He’s always a bit slow out of the blocks Wright, but if he gets going he’s hard to stop. He’s relentless.
Not long in and just caught up on this.
What an incredible leg of darts. The doo club in East Calder will have had it's roof blown off 😂
The standard is really good, I'm sure the stats will back that up.Quote:

9 darter for Labanauskas, magic stuff.
The same guy said something similar the othe day though I cant remember what game. He seems to be new (Adam Smith) so he's maybe trying too hard with the clichés.Quote:

That's Craig Levein on for his first game now, he's not too bad at the old arras
Noticed a quick reverse in the attitude of Mardle last night who has gone from 'get her into the Premier League' to now thinking she will struggle in Q school - if she even enters.Quote:

I love the lassie to bits, her coolness under pressure and these looks of disbelief when she's knocking in 170 finishes etc. And it's amazing how she is pretty average in the women's circuit but raises her game massively when in the big TV tournaments. But I agree, and she knows it herself, she has to grind it out with the rest of them. Getting knocked out in the first round might be a blessing in disguise for her.Quote:

Florian Hempel knocks out Van den Bergh too. Not sure why but never taken to van den bergh so happy at that.
Big Willie is on first on against Ryan Searle this afternoon.
Looks like he's going to take a bit of a pumping unfortunately.Quote:

I've been moaning about the crowd but the way they continued singing Don't Look Back In Anger after the music had stopped for Joe Cullen's walk on was just brilliant.
Magnificent 144 check out by Soutar to beat Suljovic in the 10th leg of the final set.
brilliant from Soutar, so far behind and then finally winning 6-4 in the last set, against my 2nd least likeable darts player, Suljovic
Suljovic lost a lot of fans after that bizarre set of antics against Anderson. Not as bad as Gerwyn Price, but close.Quote:

Fair enough, not been paying too much attention just happened to notice it at the end of that game. He's still a fud though!Quote:

That’s when I took a real dislike to him. Want him to lose every game now. I don’t mind Price but can understand why so many don’t like him. I have an irrational dislike for Dimitri van den Bergh. I’m not sure what it is but I just can’t take to him even though he comes over as a nice guy.Quote:

Price getting pelters from the crowd. Not sure what the "we know what you are" chants are referring to mind you.
I find the crowd at the darts to be ever more annoying year on year.
I believe they're referring to the Welsh's affection for mutton. 😲Quote:

I've just realised. I don't like Price but it's getting pretty ridiculousQuote:

Some match that
That was a brilliant game.
Huybrechts blew that, if he'd taken his chances he could have had it finished a few games ago.
Hope Van Duivenbode is on form when he plays Price, could be another feisty one.
Good entertainment, back to the football now.
Mervyn King scuds Steve Lennon 4 zip. Some horrendous doubling from Lennon.
Think Searle will beat noppert
Now MVG as well.Quote:

Over 12.5 180s was even money
Aye it is tragic.Quote:

Cross beats Guerney with the big fish. That was an awesome match.
It certainly was. Got to feel for Gurney there he was brilliant.Quote:

Wright changed darts after 2nd set looking better now
nice sporting thumbs-up from Heta there
Wright looking like a different player
Wright survived a bit of a scare. The last two sets were impressive.
Dave Chisnall has withdrawn from the William Hill World Darts Championship after testing positive for Covid-19 ahead of his match with Luke Humphries.
Price calls for postponement after Chisnall out of World Championship.

There’s no way they’ll postpone unless there’s not enough games to fill a schedule.Quote:
