2022 PDC World Darts Championship

Laura Woods is the presenter. Her direction comes from the broadcaster. No way is she making it up herself.

What do you expect to happen?

That the crowd will stop singing the chant in question?

Unlikely, especially if they are boozed up and Price riles them in some way

For the perpetrators to be thrown out?

Yeah perhaps. How do you deal with it even if only 10% are chanting it? That’s 300ish people.

ya don,t need a lip reader for there carry on when we can hear it from here not to hard to zoom in on the hundreds singing it...............

Some great darts today topped off by the last match. The class on show in that last match was something to be behold. It's as good as I've ever seen from two players.

Based on play I think Smith and Rydz have looked the best to this point but the last two world champs have to be the favourites I think.

This first match today is impossible to call. Mervyn King is favourite, despite not being in the best of form, because Smith hasn't played very often on the PDC. He's unranked but well regarded by many of the pros.

Based on what we've seen I think the fairytale ends for Alan Soutar today. I'll be shouting for him but Rydz was outstanding yesterday and looks a real threat to everybody.

I gotta fancy the more consistent Humphreys in the third one over the more talented Dobey.

Later on I'd expect good wins for Wade and Wright but anything could happen in the match between Cross and Anderson. Anderson gets better as the tournament goes along and Cross is very in and out all year.

Those floaty graphics sky use to show the players and stats etc... Need to be stopped they're laughably bad 🤣

Merv hasn't brought his A game with him today.

Absolute garbage.

Embarrassing darts for a last 16 game, especially from Smith.

If this was the BDO the naysayers would be out in force. Worst standard in a PDC World Championships I can remember.

Rydz should win the next easily if he keeps playing like he has been.

Soutar seems likeable but he will need to up his level today.

Lol, was looking on in disbelief myself.

Smith's inecmcperience showed there, just unable for the pressure.

I'm seriously considering muting my TV instead of listening to Laura Turner, she's the absolute pits

Show some respect, she’s a former women’s World Championship quarter finalist you know. 😏

Is Rydz trying to copy this look

Rydz is some man apart from the dodgy barnet, love to see him win it.

And the hate on here for Price is something else, the darts would be a duller watch for me without him.

Jeepers the amount of talk about the guy's hair. Fairplay to him, if it was said about one of the women's there would be thread bans.

Look I don't think it's hate. He's not a likeable chap and he's a really good player so people love to see him lose.

Just checked, he's 8/1 now.

Crikey, Humphreys must be wondering what he has to do. 103 average and 40% checkout average and he's down 2 sets.

High quality game, Luke is banging in maxes with ease.
