    Awful game this. Walsh is terrible

    There is a reason why they are first on, some line up for rest of the day. Wife might divorce me by end of week.

    Thank fook for that. Would have preferred Walsh to go through but was willing Newton to finish it there and save us all from another set.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,574 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Straightforward enough there for Newton, Walsh v poor compared to his last game


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,072 ✭✭✭Max Power


    Hopefully the real darts will start now.

    Predictions for the rest of the days action:

    Whitlock to beat Chisnall 4-2
    Wade to beat VDV 4-1
    MVG to beat Lloyd 4-1
    Barney to beat Anderson 4-3
    Lewis to beat Painter 4-0

    Cmon Whitlock. I'd like to see him win it out.

    The hair, the throw, the walk, the hair, the beard, the throw...I just don't like Whitlock.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,574 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    A lot of poor finishing in that set

    His criticism of Whitlock is getting annoying now. Thankfully Rod Harrington is on now.

    Thankfully he is gone now, but yeah, hate listening to him, all he does is slag off players.


  • Registered Users Posts: 274 ✭✭wilddarts


    Bristow is solid ****e at commentary. Fair enough he won 5 world championships but with an average of 95????(which was the standard), He slags players off when they'r throwin better darts than he ever had to. Bad and all as Mason is on ITV4 at least he kinda takes the piss out of himself and doesnt put the players down.

    In fairness to him, he was brilliant. Yes, he "only" threw in the mid 90s, but that was enough to make him the best ever in his day. I have no doubt but if he were throwing now, he'd be able to up his game to match anyone around.

    But he is a bad commentator.

    This is the worst I've ever seen Whitlock play in terms of scoring power.

    He was throwin back in the eighties. (Keith Deller in '83???????)
    Anyway if he was able to match the standard he'd be throwing today.
    All the Embassy Legends don't Like to hear that if you cant throw an average of over a ton you cant compete.

    Brilliant 152 from Whitlock there with Chizzie waiting to take out 90 for the match.


  • Registered Users Posts: 837 ✭✭✭Gotya


    152!!!!!!!! wow


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,058 ✭✭✭finnharpsboy


    chizzy blown it

    That check out crushed Chizzy's soul


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,072 ✭✭✭Max Power


    Decent game even though both players weren't at their best.

    95 is still a very respectable average. Would definately be in the top 16 in the world.

    wade v van der voort next but first up Hazel O'Sullivan :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭messinkiapina


    Thought Chizzy was the better player, but neither played well at all. Chizzy fell apart after the 152.


  • Registered Users Posts: 129 ✭✭michaelr666


    come on van der voort


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 563 ✭✭✭buster180


    Is that a fight going on in the background of the Wade Van DerVoort Game???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,158 ✭✭✭reni10


    What is going on in the crowd at the wade match?
    First time I have heard the announcer call for order!

    How is Wade 3-0 up. He has robbed the last 2 sets. VdV missing far too many doubles.
