PDC World Championship 2015

Dirty Dingus McGee

Huybrechts blew it there.Terrible time to have a really mediocre leg, Taylor gave him every chance to finish him off.

Clareman

All down to bottle now, great break by Taylor at the start of the final set.

tusmaith

similar to previous game, the old masters are hard to beat!

Don't know about that, 2 great starts to these legs now, the man has won all those titles for a reason

KevIRL

Hybrechts is done.

seoirsem

All over now me thinks

tusmaith

the body language is funny to watch, you would never see Taylor celebrating hitting a ton, Kim is talented but needs to learn class

Yup, bad miss of the 19s for Taylor though to leave the door ajar

true dat!

MInd games ya see.

Will I Amnt

Another great match, pity Kim dipped in the last set, he was very consistent up until then.

Clareman

Some grind there by Taylor, Heyburets should have concentrated on the darts and not the player.

BTW, how do they decide who goes first? do they go closest to the bull like normal comps?

Nib

Great game. Delighted Taylor came through, not a huge fan of players who fist pump a 134 and 135. Total overkill from Huybrechts, it's going to take more than that to beat a man of Taylor's experience.

Ya throw for bull before they come on, nice if they could do it on stage.

Keano

Why did he take the dart board?! Kim barely signed it

Will I Amnt

Get the mic away from him

Clareman

Gracious in victory there, could have gone off on 1 on his oppenent, he seems genuinely delighted to be through.

First time throwing with those darts? Surely he's a load of the same darts, you can buy them for ~€80.

enfant terrible

Woman interviewing Taylor is useless.

Thanks for that, I'd imagine with pros there could be a lot of throws at it.

KevIRL

Good interview from Taylor tbf. Didn't stick the knife in

robman60

I was really hoping Huybrechts would take it but Taylor showed why he's the champion he is.

The crowd really annoy me when Taylor is playing. I could understand a player like Anderson or van Gerwen having huge support because they're genuinely nice guys, something I wouldn't say about Taylor. The relentless chanting is exasperating.

He always does, he gets the ref, scorers and players to sign it and then gives it to someone, we told the landlord we'd start doing that, only to be told "would ye f**k, they cost €50 each"

He could probably still play great darts with a set of brass darts!

scudzilla

Wait till he gets knocked out....and blames his new darts :pac::pac:

Agreed defo on that, At the grand slam a few years ago and the Taylor chanting was painful and most of them not looking at a monitor.

Haha

The refs hate it when he trys to throw the surround over and around their necks

Taylor is class is all fairness.

Down the local 1 of the lads got a set of Taylor's darts, they were bouncing out the whole time out of the board, the board was old but no-one else had a problem, after 1 of the best players told yerman to change his flights the problem was fixed, the flights that came with the darts were tiny and the dart didn't have enough power to get into the board.

Nice darts though.

I've tried all different flights & the slim flights were awful for me. Barely got through the air and everyone literally hung out of the board or fell out, changed to standard flights throwing exactly same way and every one was sitting nicely upright and strong in the board. Nice for someone to give your mate some good advice instead and just happily caning him every week lol

I wish they would do it on stage! Hardly takes much time. Is the UK open only tournament its done on stage?


Good game that, both played well but taylor stepped up on his own throw and took charge at the end. Loved KHs 126(not just because of my bet :P) but T20,bull &D8 was nice especially as so used to seeing people go at 19s

You don't understand why the man who has single handedly transformed the sport and has dominated perhaps like no sports star has dominated any sport gets great support? Because you think other people are nicer and this should be the main factor?

Jesus if you fist pump every 96 or every double 16 you hit, i'd hate to see what you'd do if you won the championship...

The part of the dart he grips is now squared, first time to use them.

The battle of the super heavyweights

Tobyglen

Can't stand the comments from Mardle, his comments around Huybrechts lacking winners instinct are absolute bollox. Taylor now is a legend because he used new darts?? Reality is that Taylor struggled to win that game against a guy who hasn't that much world champ experience.

Shame they don't have more of Bristow commentating.

None of them a patch on John Henderson tho

Mardle is bad, bristow is as bad though, makes my ear bleed. Part is hands down the best co-commentator/analyst

Auld Hendo is a rocking legend.

You have a point alright Kong is a big man.

Clareman

This game just makes me realise that I should wear my glasses when playing

Bunting playing really well here, Smith will need to hit one of his monster scoring streaks fairly soon.

Ya he is a solid 15 dart man.

Gotya

Walk in the pdc park for bunting so far.

gugsy

Bunting is gonna make rvb's life hard in the new year.

Rikand

Bit of a disappointment this one after the previous two matches

Will I Amnt

Much better from Smith but you would have to think it's too little too late.

Possibly but if he holds his throw it's 3 2

I was disappointed but not surprised he didn't give his opponent credit, in fact he never mentioned him.
Huybrechts at least said fair play to taylor

I think smith can take the next set against the throw!.

No, its smith throw.

Bunting could really do with a bit of Brylcreem, SkyHD does no favours for the fuzzy head of him :pac:
