PDC World Championship 2015

Will I Amnt

Bah, gutted for Bunting. Hats off to Barney, he was superb when the finish was in sight but I feel he's already beaten in the next game.

alan partridge aha

I'd say Wolfie is crying into his cornflakes.

Ronan|Raven

Fantastic match. I wanted Bunting to win but have followed Barney for years. It was like a Barney I haven't seen in years... was he actually enjoying himself out there?

Bunting is a credit to himself. Such a talent.

Will I Amnt

That's cringey from Barney...

seanhynes

Please god Barney don't think youv won the damn thing out now and save yourself for tomorrow night ,poor ol bunting:(

Oscars Well.

squadro

The barney show.

alan partridge aha

Wolfie will have a hit on the traitor Barney

Nib

Nice touch from Barney there. I'd also agree with him, Bunting has to be in the PL this year.

Taylor v Barney should be a cracker. Can't wait!

Dirty Dingus McGee

Brilliant match.Only 1/100 of a point difference in the averages between the 2 players.

Gotya

I dont know if it's the few drinks I had but I felt emotional there with bunting. ;/

haha he will!

best of the best! I'd say he is spitting feathers now!

seanhynes

Barney's smuggled in some good dutch gangja
He went nuts there

munster87

Thought Barney was going to propose to Bunting at one point there!

marklazarcovic

thought it was cringey to begin with,but i think he just wanted bunting to take some positives from the match,a nice gesture

mrmorgan

did barney take some drugs when he put the glasses on, that was pure cringe that was!!!!

Ya, was at the Lakeside when Kist won it, enjoyable but definitely 1st division.

Juwwi

Barnie will searching amazon for Bunting blow up doll tonight

Well done to both players...absorbing game of darts to watch. Barney clearly was still pumping with adrenaline at the end

Good match, Barney played a lot better at times than I expected. Getting the glasses mid match I though would f**k him up but he kicked into gear and started throwing 180s all over the place and some nice finishes. Back n forth match and fair play to Bunting he threw a great game but just didn't have enough to push on in the final set. Barney's finish on 122(?) in 2nd leg of last set finished it, Bunting was waiting on a double and think himself knew it would be hard to break back to safe the match.

Over last 12 months and overall performance in the worlds I reckon Bunting has to get in the PL. Over 12 months on form hes really up among some of the top players

Ronan|Raven

Tomorrow then, RvB vs Taylor, predictions? for me, a Taylor win I feel / fear

That said if RvB can keep his head and not start beating himself up over every missed dart and play to enjoy it...

Ya would agree, Bunting played well and never gave up and was not nervous.

I fancy barney to win, and I also hope he does, taylor is a desperate p***k

Syferus

Classy stuffy by Barney during and after the match. Made it about Bunting and not himself, unlike a certain 16-time champion.

Barney's due a WC win over Taylor and Taylor looks vunerable right now while Barney is clearly enjoying his darts. Makes for a bad mixture for Taylor - Barney has the experience and composure to take the chances Huyb and Van der Voort were presented with in the last two rounds.

Hopefully, friend has his latest book and says he is so up his own a***, will read it to annoy myself.

I think the same, either way can't see any of them winning it out.

I think the opposite. On the oche, Barney cheats his fans sometimes by just not bothering and getting sulky and petulant. We can criticise Taylor because he doesn't say lovely fluffy things in interviews, but he has never just given up.

alan partridge aha

Hard to back against Taylor if he makes the final.

I liked the way he completely ignored the question about playing Taylor lol


I want Taylor to win because I have him in a 9 month long bet also including UFC & football 1 is Jon Bones Jones to win the title fight in 2mro nights ufc :cool:

Great game of darts between two players who aren't quite at the level of the players who had already reached the semi-finals.
RvB is prone to getting emotional. I'd put that down to a few things I've heard about the man from those who follow the fringes of the tour.

Diabhal Beag

Bunting made to look like a winner in defeat. Darts really knows how to make stars.

Deservedly so as well

Looked like he could be the undisputed champ at one stage

Look forward to seeing him in the PL

Barney went on like he won the whole title there at the end. Emotionally, he's gone. It's like when people beat Taylor in this tournament. They get so emotional about it, they invariably go out in the next round.

Barney's done for me now in this tournament. I'd say Taylor will love seeing that post match interview.

It has to be tough leaving the comfort of the BDO and making the move over. It's got a much more local structure. The PDC is a full-time gig for most of the top 30. Travelling away from home and the terrible lifestyle many of them have on the road cannot be easy.

alan partridge aha

He made the switch in fairness, he could have stayed with the BDO and made an ok living. He now can make a lot better living but he'll have to work harder at it. Big fish/small pond small fish/big pond and all that.

Taylor brought darts to a new level and has been absolutely superb at what he does best, outside of that he seems to be a completely odious little tosser with very little redeeming characteristics.

Now that Barmey has beaten Bunting I'd love him to hand Taylor his ass (and the dart board ) but you can chalk it down it ain't gonna happen! Somewhere along the way Barmey will break down.

Exactly what I thought as soon as I seen it. Taylor will destroy him mentally, I don't give him even the slightest chance. He's so mentally fragile and Phil just has his number every time. I was really hoping Bunting would get a shot at Taylor.

premier league with be wade + bunting for whitlock + newton

barney is on the woodbines

Just back from the pub. That was a cracking evening of darts.

Anderson v Taylor for me in the final.

Slicemeister

Anderson??? I hope you're right but I genuinely can't see it.

Really? Why not? Gary is playing great darts and for me should of beat might mike last year only for missed doubles!.

He is a different man these days.
Great to see too

Solely that, MVG is the better finisher this tournament. Dunno the stats so could be well wrong.

I don't either, but I wouldn't be going on what happened so far in the tournament, its all about what happens on the night and for me I think Gary will win.

Whatever happens, gonna be a great night of darts

Ha sound. I actually have a Anderson vs Taylor/ pick the final bet. So I might be biased

Ah who am I kidding, I'm biased every time Gary Anderson plays

Have you played at this level? No way you can say that, Barney could be on a high again tomorrow, it's impossible to get inside the head of a professional sportsman. Confidence plays a big part and Barney seems to have that at the moment. He's has won some tight matches in the last year and that indicates to me his head is right but I wouldn't be putting money on it. Slight favourite to Taylor but to say Barney is done is nonsense.

marklazarcovic

all dutch final please

ive not fancied barney in any match so im gonna continue that vein and say taylor will wup him bad
