    Fck sake. He’ll go on to win 6-1 now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭jr86


    Far from vintage mvg again so far

    Cant help but feel it's all set up for Taylor

    Look I wouldn't begrudge him

    Is it within the rules to turn left and return to the oche after retrieving the darts from board?. Never saw anyone do it.

    It’s to make sure they don’t block the cameras.

    Think Taylor came across pretty well in the post-match interview there, and pretty magnanimous with Lewis.

    Some will argue "easy when you're winning" and that's a fair point too, but the genuine hatred towards Taylor makes me laugh. So what if he's not a nice guy some/most of the time? A lot of top stars aren't... MVG can come across as a cocky tool a lot of the time, and isn't shy of antics on the stage either.

    Hopefully we get a good final either way. Would like to see Phil do it if only as a send-off after a great career.


    I don't hate Taylor, I even grudgingly admire his mind games and borderline unsportsmanlike behaviour, he just comes across as a horrible horrible human being.

    The way MVG is playing, Taylor will really put it up to him tomorrow (provided he doesn't get nailed on a Cross)

    If mvg loses this set, hes in trouble, i always think he prefers to lead and not chase a match

    Are these players tested for performance enhancing substances?

    :D

    My da swears by a couple of pints before throwing.

    Yer da wasent the late great Jocky Wilson was he?. I mean like beta blockers or similar. Think Neal Foulds was suspended for it years back in the snooker.

    Cross is clutch when he has to be. Van Gerwen has barely turned up. Can't hit the T20 for his life. Funny old game. If Van Gerwen keeps peetering away it could go down to the wire.

    Who would you fancy against taylor? Would prefer MVG up against him in the final personally.

    Cross is a great player

    Really hope he isn't a one year wonder, but he really has the look of a player who will compete for a long time yet

    A lot of the younger players coming through in recent years are a bit erratic, but he's a really consistent and reliable thrower


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,216 ✭✭✭marklazarcovic


    Cross looks the more focused so far


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    Cross is brilliant, this game is there for him.

    Think any of the 3 could win.
    Cross has tons of bottle to go with a decent bit of talent.
    MVG just seems off this championship but is pure quality.
    Taylor has a bit of fate on his side and is playing half decent.
    Basically fcuked if I know lol

    Boom!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭s3rtvdbwfj81ch


    beauties


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭JenovaProject


    What did I say about bottle and talent.
    Super stuff from Cross


  • Registered Users Posts: 36,259 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Thought MVG had him there with that perfectly timed 180.

    Stunning 161 checkout from Cross. Stunning. Dead centre of the bull too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    Great finish by Cross to take that set.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,740 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    Proper game of darts this.

    brilliant by cross


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 641 ✭✭✭raiders11


    MVG is limping, put that along with Wright and Ando, tis fixed:D:D:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 246 ✭✭Urindanger


    Unreal.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,769 ✭✭✭✭klose


    Rob cross is mustard, what a checkout that was some big balls on him. Great game this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 904 ✭✭✭squadro


    Do any of the guys that learn the game on the electronic boards ever do well playing on this surface? Qpr were brilliant on their own patch years ago but crap away from home. Or is it down to doing the arithmetic?. What's the rule? Are u allowed ask what's left or what did I score?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 610 ✭✭✭kerrylad1


    Fantastic checkout from cross.Excellent game so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,880 ✭✭✭✭Rock Lesnar


    MVG is in trouble here, Lewis should have beaten Taylor, doesnt look like Cross would make the same mistakes if he got through


  • Registered Users Posts: 36,259 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    I'm seeing a lot of 'MVG is playing badly'.

    Nope.

    He's just not the unplayable 108-110 average MVG.

    He's also playing someone who is consistently throwing in and around 15 dart legs. If you do that, you always have a chance because a leg will rarely be straight forward with your opponent miles away.

    I still think MVG wins 6-4 by the way.
