PDC World Darts Championship 2019/20

Deeper Blue

Price got away with that big time, complete implosion/bottlejob from O'Connor

Loafing Oaf

what exactly happened? He mistakenly went for double 1, hit a single 1, then bust it?

Huntergonzo

Incredible miscount, pressure does very strange things to people.

Price in fairness did throw 2 huge legs when he had to hold to stay in the game but unfortunately O'Connor wasn't able to hold it together.

I hope O'Connor can get over this and recover.

PTH2009

MVG could run away with this tournament

It's hard to trust some of the players who done well all year like Chizzy, Price and Wright.

Had the darts to beat comfortably the second best player in the world. Yeah, still a pub player alright.

Devastated for him, played well even if Price was off his game. Tbf price was sweating away I'd say it's roasting on the oche.

Feel sorry for him there, that's an awful way to go out after putting in a great shift

Yeah, totally agree with that sentiment. He gave a good account, should have won, had the brainfart at the end, but it can go either way, you can learn from it and insure it never happens again, and grow from it, or let it tear you up and make you doubt yourself in the biggest of moments. Hopefully the former.

Ah devastated for Willie. That was cruel hope he doesn't beat himself up too much.

What a disaster for O'Connor. Would rather have lost 3-0 than for that to happen

did o connor from limerick win?

You could be right, but i find he doesn't inveigle his way into my ears as much... He might be so bland that my brain completely shuts him out.

Deeper Blue

These days you'd really notice Dave Clark struggling a bit Fair play to him for keeping at it

good nite willie yar here to make up the numbers as you have shown,amateurish.

Gotya

Did he throw the 3rd dart at the board after hitting a single one? They didn't show it, but it was called no score?

indeed,but that's the difference between players that participate and players who have that something extra and willie failed misberably when the touching line was in hand.

A far better night of darts overall tonight. Would like to see noppart get through the next round, although not sure what his draw is. Remember him having a storming bdo a few years ago and was wondering when he'd turn up at the pdc.

He missed the board with the first dart, then hit the one, think he missed the board with his third

Yea it's getting worse alright - poor man.
Like you said fair play to him for fighting on.

Much an all as I would have loved to see Willie win, it's probably better for the tournament to see Price go through as he is the one player (maybe the only one this year?) who I think can actually beat MvG in a world final

Yeah, not important in the grand scheme of things, but i was thinking that they weren't even good attempts at x1

did the mc say he needed 4?

Don't think he missed the board with the 3rd, it couldn't be called no score. It would have been, one scored.

He probably just randomly threw it after thinking he bust with the second.

Some ridiculously harsh criticism here. Willie was the better player, f*cked up big time and it cost him dearly.

Sky get a bit of a kicking all over the ace these days, but i have to give them kudos for doing right by him, letting him present when he feels able, doing the prerecorded pieces with him.... Hopefully he can continue.

Agreed. He messed up big time. But some atrocious comments including one that he should hang himself. Horrible stuff.

That would be a score of 1 but it was called 'no score'.
Think it was miss, single one (at which stage he thinks he is bust) and the third dart hit somewhere out of camera shot but on the board, hence 'no score'.

MileHighGuy

It sure if any stragglers still here watching the mardle v Taylor semi.... Little reminder of how good mardle could be..... But my god.... Listen to that commentary..... Honestly it's like watching a different sport.... When to talk, when to stay quiet, adding drama to every dart.... Absolutely brilliant.

PEACEBROTHER

Very harsh

He did bottle it but to be fair he’s on the biggest stage of all and was going toe to toe with price

I just felt price was trying to rush him and thought willie should of slowed it down a bit - he was beating price on the board but felt like price was always winning mentally imo

MIght be a monkey off his back. Up to now his record at Ally Pally is eerily similar to Gary Anderson's at Lakeside. His saving grace was that he scored very well holding his own throw. The standout for a last 16 place on his side as it stands.

MVG and Price had wobbles they maybe weren't expecting. The big hitters of the field will take encouragement from their struggle too.

Rotten you are

He bottled it yes , he blew up yes , he was nervous
Huge mistake yes

It’s a game he will be back and can easily win tour events next year playing like he did tonight

You sound like someone who had 10 euro on him

Liamalone

Poor Willie. He'll kick himself for years with that one. I thought he was gonna do it.

im not putting willie down,but I just think when it came to the cruch he couldn't do it as was proved to be seen.

Healio

That crowd was terribly quiet, on a different night might have really put Price off.

Not to be for Willie, unfortunately.

you have to have bottle,like young aspinal won a major few months ago no flaws there and he not long on the scene.you have to grasp that moment cause if you don,t then that could define you.it makes a statement when you win

Getting fed up with this accusation he "bottled it".
He did not bottle nor choke.
It was stupid error not a choke and one he paid dearly for. I feel sorry for the lad as he had Price on the ropes and played some great darts.

I'd say losing to an already eliminated Dave Parletti at the GSOD might have been worse.

At least he played well tonight bar the gaffe at the end.
