Humphries 2 legs up

What's going on?? I thought it was just my *cough* perfectly legal method of watching SS 😆

Sultan of Bling

Watching this on now TV and horse racing came on, now it's gone off air.

Same - back now though... Mon Luke

3-2 to Dobey in sets

Sultan of Bling

It's back

3-2

Massive 117 that.

eagle eye

This is a great match, neither deserve to lose.

ctrl-alt-delete

Dobey with an 11 darter to break back.

ctrl-alt-delete

Down to the wire, as is deserved for these lads.

Humphries throwing for the match.

Some comeback.. Wins on D1 😋.. Luke marches on.

ctrl-alt-delete

Humphries does it, made hard work of it right at the end.

How crucial winning the 3rd set was, could have been 3-0 down.

Another fantastic game of darts.

mdwexford

Phenomenal match.

Both played fantastic, Humphries really pulled out the big scores when he needed to.

25 180’s, both over 40% on doubles.

Honest interview afterwards, well done LH

TbL

Deeper Blue

I think they should bin the Trebleless Visit stat, it's presented with no context and tells us very little.

For the Humphries Dobey game they had 23 and 28 respectively, but I have no idea if that's good or not.

Cracking game again

I like Dobey but always thought Humphries would have him if he could keep close through that hot scoring spell

Humphries to give Cross a good game after he hammers the shite out of GAndo tonight 😎

shockframe

Could watch a game like that all day.

Dobey seems like a decent lad but getting as far as the last 16 seems to be about his limit.

Humphries has got a very good action and 3 quarter finals in 4 years is very impressive in the Modern Era. Up against it in the last 8 but a reasonable chance of making the semi final.

mdwexford

Wade will just do enough as usual.

Think Cross Anderson will be tight. Anderson has to be better than last night.

Wright to beat Searle comfortably enough.

Picks

Kleermaker (think he's overpriced @ 13/5 Boyles) , Cross and Wright. Hope I'm wrong about Wright 😋

Don't know what odds he is, but Kleermaker looks massive to win the 2nd quarter

edit posted a few mins too late - match already on 😃

Loafing Oaf

that's why I haven't been paying much heed to Q2; I figure Wade will do enough to get through and then get brushed aside by Price or whoever.

Porthallian

Never doubt Mr Wade. He won't average over 100 very often but he's so consistent. Only 1 set in but I think he will brush Kleermaker aside with ease.

Porthallian

My picks, although a bit easier with Wade a set up now

Wade 4-1

Searle 4-3

Cross 4-2

It's ridulous.

If someody hits 3 single 20s and the other player hits a treble 5 and two single 20s, he scores less but it's not a trebleless throw.

As some one above posted, there's no context.

Dillonb3

Wade should cruise this 4-0, Kleermaker too inconsistent

Wasn't expecting that early doors!!... The consistent scoring from Wade, and often as not giving himself a dart at a double from a 3 dart out, was exemplary.. way too good for Kleermaker.. was good value for that 4-0 win.. hope he bashes Mervyn. unlike Mardle, can't see King doing much against James...

Looks very open at this stage.. Think Price wins, but at 2/1, won't bother with him.

Have narrowed it down to three who won't win - Ando, Mervyn, and Heavy Metal Ryan Searle (sorry Ryan) 😋

Mon Rob!

mdwexford

Think both of these will average 94 ish in a very tight nervy game.

4-3 Ando.

James Wade has a lovely throwing motion.

I think Cross wins this handy enough, he won't give Anderson the lifelines White gave him.

Have they said that's the way it's calculated?

I'd have assumed that it's only big trebles that count, probably 17s up.

mdwexford

Cross lucky there.

Anderson playing much better with these darts.

I though I heard 'big' referenced by Mardle, today I think (maybe yesterday) during the 'trebleless visit' stats, but I heard no mention of what constitutes a 'big' treble..... Also, when is a treble 'not' expected - if a player is down to a treble/single/double out; do those 'trebleless' visits figure on the stats.... ?

"purview" 😂 - pretty sure he meant "wheelhouse" 😂 1/7 'embroiled' gets a mention (John Part favourite to say it first)

Deeper Blue

Anderson has turned up tonight

Cross has been terrible and is lucky not to be 3-0 down

Coneygree

What's it with the Scots and changing their darts huh? Gary looks a different player tonight.

mdwexford

Ando is a different animal with these darts.

He can win the whole thing with this kind of game.

Mr. Guappa

Cross has been atrocious.

Where's the Rob Cross that beat Gurney in a thriller? Was lucky to win that second last leg - he fluffed his lines on second dart (hits treble 9 instead of treble 12) , and leaves 35, and he only goes and flings it, and busts on d17 😏

Mr. Guappa

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118393360#Comment_118393360

And somehow it's 3-2.

Mr. Guappa

Cross favourite now. Mad stuff.

orecir

Gary can win this tournament

Sultan of Bling

Terrible game management by cross there after getting himself back in the match.

mdwexford

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118392978#Comment_118392978

Not a bad prediction. 😁

Gary did well to pull himself back together for that last set.

boomdocker

Winner comes from the top half in my view, bullyboy, wade or price

really thought Cross was in with a big shout but he wasn't up to it tonight

I'll change my mind, cos I got the first two wrong --- 4-2 to Ryan Searle
