Very easy for Dimitri

Deeper Blue · 30-12-2022 2:41pm

I think Huybrechts did well to get this far. Dimitri was always winning that one.

Will I Am Not · 30-12-2022 2:51pm

Huybrechts looks like a bottle of Lucozade.

siblers · 30-12-2022 3:52pm

So careless by Souter. He'll be sickened

30-12-2022 4:01pm

Just threw a score on Cullen for this one.

Sultan of Bling · 30-12-2022 4:05pm

First 2 games today not up to much.

I'm expecting a cracker in the next one

PTH2009 · 30-12-2022 4:35pm

With the pool of players so deep now it's hard not seeing the PDC wanting to expand the tournament again. Logistics could be the issue eg venue availability

If your lucky enough to get a tour card you'd have to be winning at least near £15K to qualify. The big boys will always qualify

PTH2009 · 30-12-2022 4:38pm

Think that was Cullens chance

30-12-2022 4:54pm

Handy enough afternoon for Bully Boy.

That missed double 10 in the first set was a killer for Cullen.

Sultan of Bling · 30-12-2022 4:56pm

Missed chances early on for Cullen really affected him.

mdwexford · 30-12-2022 4:59pm

Smith is even speaking differently since he won the Grand Slam.

Seems more confident now and believes he is going to win.

Shaping up like a Smith MVG final already, can’t see them losing.

Yeah Smith is getting a lot of luck but as you siad his confidence seems sky high

Got him at 9/1 too win it out, still 3 tough games in his way

Cross and MVG both tipping along nicely

boomdocker · 30-12-2022 7:04pm

Cullen didn't show up today unfortunately

Smith could win it - had a serious escape vs Schindler (did he have match darts?) and it's not unusual for the eventual winner to look back at close shaves along the way (snakebite, Rob Cross) so maybe his name is on it

Hope MvG and Cross win tonight, that could be a cracker

ongarite · 30-12-2022 9:00pm

This is a cracking match. Both scoring really high and hitting nice finishes.

US3 · 30-12-2022 9:27pm

Great game delighted for Dobey didn't think he'd have enough to beat cross with cross playing well.

PTH2009 · 30-12-2022 9:33pm

Great game with both players showing up in a big way

Got Dobey at 50/1 too win the title and if he brings that form you never know esp on that side of the draw

boomdocker · 30-12-2022 9:35pm

Didn't see that coming

Hope he hasn't played his 'final' and can give MvG or DvdB a game in the quarters

Dillonb3 · 30-12-2022 9:52pm

Dirk threw that set away. MVG isn't playing that outstanding

PTH2009 · 30-12-2022 9:56pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120047856#Comment_120047856

Dutch vs Dutch

I'd say there's some tension

Dillonb3 · 30-12-2022 10:21pm

Far too many trebleless visits from Dirk

boomdocker · 30-12-2022 10:36pm

MvG never even got out of second gear

Can't see Dobey giving him a game

PTH2009 · 30-12-2022 10:40pm

QFs so far

QF1- Price vs Clemens

QF2- Smith vs Humphries or Bunting

QF3- Clayton vs Van De Burgh

QF4- MVG vs Dobey

boomdocker · 30-12-2022 10:44pm

Price v Smith

MvG v Clayton

MvG v Smith final

Dillonb3 · 30-12-2022 11:07pm

Bunting destroying Humphries here

retalivity · 30-12-2022 11:08pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120048137#Comment_120048137

He's throwing some savage darts.

boomdocker · 30-12-2022 11:16pm

He is, but Humphries playing like a Rd1 qualifier

30-12-2022 11:33pm

THE BULLET! BANG-BANG!

roosterman71 · 30-12-2022 11:36pm

Bunting winning this match knocks Dolan out of the Masters

hawkwing · 30-12-2022 11:46pm

Only 1 close game from the 8 and that was last night,

1*4-3

1*4-2

5*4-1

1*4-0

Hopefully the quarters are better but on paper they don't look too exciting :-(

Swaine · 30-12-2022 11:55pm

Bunting is a dark horse for this, he's been incredible so far and not getting the credit he deserves from Sky etc.

Strange that the narrative is it's MvG's to lose, don't agree, hasn't been tested at all yet.

Been a great championship so far.

PTH2009 · 30-12-2022 11:58pm

They are all over MvG alright I agree that he is favourite but it's far from a done deal in my eyes.

He has taken over Taylors old mantle of getting an interview in the studio post match while the rest of the winners have to just wait on stage aswell

PTH2009 · 31-12-2022 12:27am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120048306#Comment_120048306

Rock probably would of been Skys special guest for the night if he'd won last night

boomdocker · 31-12-2022 3:48pm

MvG has been caught out before in tournaments where he has cruised through a few rounds and then come under pressure in a close match

You could argue he was tested by suljovic

My money still on him for the simple fact that to beat him you're gonna have to average over 100 and 40% on the doubles over a best of 9+ sets

Not many players left in can do that

PEACEBROTHER · 01-01-2023 1:48pm

Would love to see Johnny Clayton go all the way

Comes across as a nice guy

Loafing Oaf · 01-01-2023 2:13pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120048250#Comment_120048250

Yeah if the first one up here is a close match it could well be the only one...

Swaine · 01-01-2023 3:29pm

DvdB is such an odd character. His demeanor on stage is like that of a man on the cusp of committing suicide.

Clayton was sh1te there, the Rock game took so much out of him, he's not a young man.

squidgainz · 01-01-2023 3:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120052504#Comment_120052504

He was a bit embarrassing after I had to flick away haha

Swaine · 01-01-2023 3:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120052512#Comment_120052512

Man definitely downs a few drinks before coming on stage, or maybe something a bit more questionable. Deserved his win though.

Bunting 5/2 to beath Smith. I'll be having a poke at that.

squidgainz · 01-01-2023 3:43pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120052526#Comment_120052526

Yeah that actually makes sense! Yeah hes been very good does look a little long.

Swaine · 01-01-2023 5:05pm

Smith has lost the plot here. Going for bull with 25 left to bust 80.

Bunting all over him.

hawkwing · 01-01-2023 5:20pm

Don't really like Smith, face like a slapped hairy arse most of the time. Also the way he throws.

alan partridge aha · 01-01-2023 5:21pm

The Bullet finishing absolutely dreadful. Was hoping he'd win but doubles at 24% won't win matches at that level.

Smith's ave under 92, that's poor but finishing got him through.

mdwexford · 01-01-2023 5:21pm

Bunting left that one behind him.

By far the better scoring during that game, doubles let him down badly.

Swaine · 01-01-2023 5:24pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120052844#Comment_120052844

Needs to sort that awful beard out. Looks dreadful on him.

His throw is one of the best when on it, looks like he doesn't give a fcuk when he's not on it though.

boomdocker · 01-01-2023 5:41pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120052504#Comment_120052504

DvdB has ghosted his way to the semis beating players who are underperforming, hasn't averaged more than 95 in any game

It'll be a sin if he gets to the final

Oh and yes, can't stand him, :)

Swaine · 01-01-2023 7:56pm

Tonight's predictions:

Price 5-1 Clemens

MvG 5-3 Dobey

I have a feeling we are going to see a 9 darter tonight.

PsychoPete · 01-01-2023 8:46pm

Would love to see a Clemens or Dobey upset but hard to see passed Price and MVG getting through

klose · 01-01-2023 9:23pm

Some stuff from clemens here

Officer999 · 01-01-2023 9:31pm

Brilliant game
