    Wright playing fantastic at the moment after slow start


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Justin Credible Darts


    chizzy led 8-6 and loses the next 7 on the trot , and 10 of the last 14

    Proving everything I ever said about him being a choker.
    Was proven right about White being a choker as well

    but i am sure someone will be along to cry how I am negative

    Yes, but then corrected himself and said Michael

    Thanks.

    You sure? I heard the correction but I thought that was in reference to his next point?

    agree.

    but would love to see blubberboy lose :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,326 ✭✭✭munster87


    Unforgivable there by Durrant


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,326 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    That could cost Duzza. He had a shot at the bull there but miscounted.

    He's being outscored at the moment but only just. Hopefully we're in for a long night.

    Thanks appreciate it very much:)

    if smith gets a big gap in score then durrant is surely a goner in maybe a big scoreline defeat.duzza gotta keep it close cause then smith will bottle it :D


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Justin Credible Darts


    smith could be 8-2 here were it not for missed doubles.

    In my opinion Smith is a far superior player to the over rated durrant, results against each other prove that, but smith is a bottler when it comes to crucial moments in big events, hence why he has never won a major title in his entire career.

    Durrant whilst nowhere near the player smith is, does have more resilience and will scrap


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,614 ✭✭✭bassy


    oh ye baby come on duzza


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Justin Credible Darts


    said it countless times.

    Chizzy , White and Smith are all choking bottlers.
    This comp shows again everything I ever said about these players folding when the pressure is on.

    White proved yesterday, chizzy proved it earlier, and smith looks like he is proving it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,614 ✭✭✭bassy


    lovely stuff from duzza,bullyboy will blubber if he goes to far behind.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,326 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    Duzza was simply the better player in that session. Serious finishing. Brilliant stuff.

    Smith is too erratic, too many poor darts.

    Yeah sure it's probably the easiest sport to identify the bottlers!

    durrant hits a 174 and puts pressure on bellyboy and he proceeds to sh1t himself as usual.

    This is the pdc #3.....proof of all that is wrong with the rankings

    mardle said it was only a matter of time before White wins a major...the same white that cannot win a quarter final let alone a semi or a final.


    Thinks Chizzy will win a major


    and the same of Smith.


    Mardle thinks the viewers are absolute idiots and cannot spot a bottling choker when they see them.


    The only way any of them ever wins a final is unless the final consists of 2 of them and even then it will be who chokes the least.
    Hope Durrant smashes him now

    Great stuff from Duzza. Delighted. He deserved to win, was the better player.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Justin Credible Darts


    dont worry folks, I am 100% sure Mardle Dawson or Nicholson will be along in the next comp of the Players Champs final to tell us how Smith is a future World champion,
    How White will surely win a major
    or how this could the comp Chizzy wins a major.....before all 3 choke and leave with a whimper.
    The sickening part is all 3 of these players that never won a single thing of note in their entire career are in the top 10 and will be forced down out throat in the PL.

    Some people dont like Wade, Price or Gurney, but along with MVG, Cross and Ando they are proven winners....something Smith Chizzy and White will never be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭shockframe


    Smith has a good throwng action but is very hard to warm to.

    Great performance from Duzza. Thoroughly deserved to win that.

    Durrant very consistent and solid.

    He’s hard to beat and on his day can beat anyone.

    TbL


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Justin Credible Darts


    durrant mentioned Wade in his interview which is not a bad comparison, as Wade is a player who is always composed, and looking at wade you could not tell if he was 5-0 up or 5-0 down...Durrant is similar,

    Both dont hit the extreme high averages, but are consistent, and great at checkouts and dont roll over like the 3 stooges of chizzy, white and smith

    Its getting to the stage where the real top guys will be seeing draws against white, chizzy and smith, as a bye :D


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,404 ✭✭✭Justin Credible Darts


    looking like a Wright v MVG final

    Think Wright will beat Durrant in their semi

    Expect MVG to beat Lewis, and Price to Beat Ando, with MVG to make it 18 wins on the spin against Price in the semi.

    Then MVG to own Wright yet again in the final.
    I hope I am wrong, and MVG does not win and is not in the final .

    I think that will probably be the way it goes, chance Anderson might have a bit of bite left to beat Price though. Had Wright win and Durrant +1.5 legs in a bet that still has Anderson +1.5 and Lewis +6.5 left tomorrow night, I’d be more worried about Lewis.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,882 ✭✭✭sc86


    As much as id love to see anderson win i think itl be 16 10 or 16 8 to price sadly


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,614 ✭✭✭bassy


    love to see ando beat price,but hard to see either beating mvg in semi.


    mvg v duzza final,sticking my kneck on the line for duzza to get to final.

    I dont think just cause you win a major it means your world class either.

    Painter and nicolson both won majors
    While painter had solid carear , nicolson was a flash in the pan

    Kirk sheppard nearly fluked a world championship ffs

    difference is that if kirkie won the worlds that time he still would of been a flash in da pan,where as the likes of terry Jenkins was a world class player he deserved hes years at the top cause he was a top player despite losing 9 major finals and he lost to wade taylor mvg ?,big difference is class is permanent form is temporay in kirkies case :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,326 ✭✭✭munster87


    Form was even a push for Kirk, don’t think he even averaged 90 in any game in that year’s comp. Luck played a big part in many ways.

    oh your to hard on me,but the averages back then apart from taylor were no where near todays averages.

    The lowest average thrown by the winner in a PDC final is 92.86. This was the average of John Part in his final against Kirk Shepherd, in 2008. The average of Kirk Shephard in this final is the lowest 3 dart average ever in a PDC World Championship final. His average was 85.10. The second and third lowest averages were thrown by Rod Harrington in 1995 (87.15), and by Phil Taylor in 1994 (90.62). This was the very first PDC final, where Phil Taylor was defeated by Dennis Priestley. Dennis Priestley averaged 94.38 in this final.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,614 ✭✭✭bassy


    absurd average for a world finalist runner up and that's what kirkie was absurd...…………………..

    Sorry don't mean any crictism of anyone was just wondering if he was playing great or just got lucky if I remember right he got luck but I could be totally wrong.

    And you answered before I asked the question :)ty

    I know what I say next will upset a few on here and they will cry about negativity., but the players championships final is not a major.


    It is a secondary tV title. Just like the European championships,
    Non ranking events are not majors either, if it was it would be ranking, so dont class the world Series, the Unibet Masters, The World Cup or the Premier Leagues as Majors, even if the PL has major money.


    For me the true Majors are Ally Pally, The Matchplay, the Grand Prix and the UK open.
    Refuse to accept the Slam as a major whilst wildcards are given to utterly useless bdo p[layers who stink up the comp.

    Delighted for Duzza, Sky giving me the sh1ts about Smith. Now Smith is a grand fellow but there us something lacking there.

    blubberboy needs a deep kick up the anal,hes a nothing player up to this point,the can rave a world finalist runner up a premier lge runner up,all meaningless.


    he would never beat mvg in a final unless he hit mvg with a 2 pound hammer.

    kirk was without doubt the jammiest player that year.


    3 games he survived multiple match darts.
    He survived 7 match darts against Terry Jenkins who blew it,,,as usual

    The most sickening was Mick McGowan who was in great form who missed 4 match darts against Kirk before losing.
    Peter Manley missed 2 match darts against him in the quarters


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,614 ✭✭✭bassy


    but u see even if mick McGowan had beat kirkie,mick still would,nt have made the final if you know what im saying.

    it was just one of those draws where the top seed in the section in jenkins went out early, and all the under dogs won so by the time they reached the last 8 and he beat manley, he met someone who had a similar run in their section.


    It happens.


    I can see an event someday when MVg will get caught out first round and we will eventually end up with a last 4 where every single player in the semis will be a complete choker like Ian white against Chizzy, and Joe Cullen against Michael Smith and the winner will be the players who chokes the least of the last 4.
