Anderson's first game takes place in the evening session of the first Saturday, probably v Simon Whitlock.
You'd have think that MVG and Humphries are some way ahead of the rest at the moment. Smith completely out of form, Wright also struggling. Price not at his best either.Quote:

You would imagine those two will meet in the 2nd Semi.Quote:

The WDF world championship is on from the lakeside today

After the Klaasen MVG incident he seemed to loose his way
Starts tonight.
Scottish interest on the first night, Cameron Menzies playing.
Been good so far
He's a tad eccentric to say the least. ☺️Quote:

Fine performance from Anderson 3-0.
Well that's Wade out which is always a good thing. Doesn't even acknowledge his opponent but what's new. Campbell looks decent.
It was a good afternoon's entertainment.Quote:

Must've been some performance, surely the highest debut average in Ally Pally history.Quote:

Great nights entertainment. 👏
Pietreczko 3-2 v Rydz averaging almost a ton in his victory.
Huybrechts pumped 3-0 without winning a leg.
Clayton 3 Lennon 1, 88.4 must be about the lowest winning average in this round.
Gurney 3 Beaton 1, Gurney averaged over a ton. Beaton retiring at end of 2024.
Pietreczko played really well. Rydz has got loads of ability but maybe weighed down by all that glue on his barnet!
Anderson not playing again until the first game on Friday night.
Williams (English) beats Schindler (German) in a great tussle and opens his post match interview with "I know we won 2 world wars and a world cup..."
Jeezus. Glenn Durrant is supposedly a mate of his and even he was saying Williams is quite a strange guy.Quote:

Totally agree that he's better than Dolan but I thought he was only good in patches tonight - maybe because he knew he was always in control.Quote:

I would agree with that, hopefully we are correct.Quote:

Aye he's on fire. Plays Cross or Clayton, if he can keep this form going I'd fancy him.Quote:

Having a 'mare.
Anderson having a mare
On 121 and 6 darts to take it out - and hits 5.
Loses that leg and the set.
That's an absolute shocker !Quote:

This is far to easy right now
What's going on here? Never expected this.
Even Lee Johnson couldn't get Gary through this, horrendous, it's like watching Man United. ☺️
Anderson's finishing - even by his standards - is hilariously bad.
It's not even pub player level.
Had to turn it off
He's alive!
What a come back to win set 3.
You would have got long odds on it being 2-2, 20 mins ago but he's played some great stuff to come back.
Mon Gary ! 2-2
Something wrong with Dolan, nae Idea where the massively high 20s are coming from.
Dolan wins 4-3 and probably just about deserved it. Anderson played well for 2 and a bit sets but was rotten at the beginning and end.
The 2 darts at double 4 in the last set cost him dear, though in true Anderson style missing 3 at double 5 in the last leg was typical.
It's as if the last year hadn't happened for Anderson, that was brutal. Just couldn't get any momentum at all. Gutted at that.
Littler sees off Barney
He is some player and coping with the pressure really well.Quote:

Cullen choked big style in losing to Humphries although they both made a meal of it in the end. Great game but just shows you how the match pressure gets to the best in the world.
Would be great for the sport if Cross and MVG both get put out and there's a new name on the trophy. Even Humphries winning it as favourite would be good. "Also rans" like Dolan and Chisnall might not get a better chance.
Can’t see past MVG now
Dobey 4-0 up and Cross comes back to win 5-4
Biggest bottle crash since Hearts at Dens Park.
Epic last set though!
That was brilliant, the match turned when Dobey missed a double 11 (IIRC Cross was 2 legs to 1 up in the 5th set) for a 142 checkout. 👏
Littler will get right up Dolan's nose with the posturing over that 170. Young man has some swagger.
Littler is winning this championship.

That will scar him forever , He completed bottled that today , Shat the bed bigtime
Mvg under a wee bit pressure
Never saw that coming, Mvg could not hit a double
Bye bye MVG, cannot believe how bad he was. Williams really consistent.
Watched darts last night for the first time in this tourney. That was boring.
Not really a fan of darts but this semi final has been a tense watch. Littler should probably be out of sight
Littler has nerves of tungsten
Stroll for Humphries. Looking forward to a good final.
I think that Humphries will be a match too far for Littler
mon Luke Humphries
do it for Leeds
do it for Yorkshire
Love watching Humphries play, nice relaxed style (apart from when he missed the 9 darts at a double against Cullen!).
Littler is handling the media scrum well. So far anyway.
