Just seen this on another darts Forum. The video clearly shows that the dart was outside the double 12. Bad form from Taylor not admitting that the dart was outside the wire.

PDC release statement regarding Taylor v Winstanley
THE PDC has issued the following statement in relation to the Gibraltar Darts Trophy game between Phil Taylor and Dean Winstanley:

FOLLOWING speculation and discussion on various online and social media forums, the PDC can confirm it has reviewed footage of the conclusion of the fourth leg of the Gibraltar Darts Trophy second round match between Phil Taylor and Dean Winstanley, where Taylor was awarded game shot on a finish of double 12.

The footage shows that the dart landed outside the double 12 segment however both Taylor and match referee Russ Bray have confirmed they were unaware of this whilst Winstanley did not raise his concerns at the time.

PDC Tournament Director Tommy Cox confirmed: "I spoke with both players and the referee and Phil offered to replay the match, which under the rules is not an option, and Dean confirmed that he wants to put the incident behind him and concentrate on his next event.

"I would like to reassure the public that that fairness, transparency and integrity are top priorities of the PDC and this unusual episode is purely attributable to a rare human error from the referee."

After watching the video I'd find it hard to believe Taylor didn't realise it was out...

Poor form.

Of course he knew it wasn't in, when i played i always knew (and admitted if it wasn't in) and i was knowhere near pro level, just goes to show what type of guy Taylor is
