Cross is some player.

That was magical darts in the highest pressure game of all.

Good that he showed a lot more class after the match than a lot of people on this thread.

Good riddance to Phil Taylor, its brilliant to see his career end in failure.
Class???? When did Taylor ever show any.

Last year he was an amateur at home, this year he is world champion, how many other lads will this bring through??

Who knows, but it should give everybody in the PDC a shot in the arm, if he can do it, we can to

Great for darts in general as well, MVG was steamrollering everyone and it was getting monotonous

Betcha we see Taylor make a comeback

Its being the bigger man.

Phil just looks more and more small time with the antics.

Taylor was being a dick but its never bad to see sportsmanship and graciousness. Fair play to Cross i say.

I say fair play to Cross, no point in reducing himself to Taylors levels, Taylor is a despicable human being but the reality is that darts would still be a backwater sport, If not for Taylor and a few others, but Taylor primarily.

Fcuk off now Taylor!

Bob Harris

Unless he wasn't able to on his own, silly from Cross to ask Phil to come over to lift it with him. He won. His trophy.

Itssoeasy

Rob cross won the bloody match didn't he ?

Diabhal Beag

Cross absolutely destroyed Taylor, the biggest snake in darts. Delighted.

JenovaProject

Fair play to Cross very classy showing Taylor the respect he deserves on his last match.

Turtyturd

Taylor is gonna become a John Terry like figure, just showing up on stage in his shirt every year when they are presenting the trophy.

Being the bigger man is wishing Phil well in his retirement, not handing him over what you’ve worked your whole career for, just for a cheesy photo op.

Differing ways of looking at it I guess, I personally loathed it but each to their own.

Clareman

Cross and Taylor have the same sponsors, Cross has been told what to do

Black_Knight

I think i've won "Taylor post match" bingo.

"I can't hear you."
"He's like me X years ago."
"I'm a granddad"
"mouthing something while in the background of a shot"

Felt on Saturday that taylor would rather mvg. Much more personal and more motivation

Looking at Cross on Saturday and his body language afterwards I had no doubt he wouldn't be affected by nerves. Erratic Jamie Lewis he ain't, his style is much more sound and plays percentages well. His ability to bounce back after a poor throw is arguably the best I've seen of any dart player in any tournament

He definitely has the tools and temperament to consistently compete at the top level. I already envisage a massive rivalry with MvG for the foreseeable future

First things first now, change that bloody walk on

The alternative is ruin the occasion by dragging it off him. How would he prise it out of Taylor's hands without it looking unedifying.

He goes home with the trophy. Not Taylor. The next year of looking at it at home is what he's thinking of
