Smith has the most 'not arsed' way of throwing darts

sinnermichael · « **Reply #16763 on:** June 8, 2019, 08:26:52 pm »

England out. O'Connor just averaged 115 to beat Cross.

He is very erratic, always shaking his head, him and Cross aren't the best pairing England have ever had.

Long gone are the days of Taylor and Lewis.

MVG was awful there. Never seen him miss so many doubles.

Schedule is out for the Matchplay

Standout tie is Lewis v Durrant on Sunday night. I'm sure there will be a lot of people hoping for an MVG v Durrant game in the second round

Blimey, just saw Van Gerwen lose 6-5 from 5-1 up against Martin Schindler in the World Series in Germany. Crowd were loving it.

Couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's like he just switched off.

Why do the presenters keep saying he might have other things the think about etc? Implying something has happened

Yes, dont know what they were implying. They kept mentioning Michael Smith as well but I wasnt paying attention, did him and Van Gerwen have a row or something?

Never seen this Clemens play before. Really good player.

MVG made a comment about Smith not having the right mentality to win the big events. Smith then knocked MVG out of the American event last week and responded by questioning MVG’s mentality when it comes to the tour events.

Glen Durrant put in a good display to beat Adrian Lewis last night and now plays MVG in the next round on Tuesday night. MVG will have to play a lot better than he did last night if he’s going to beat Durrant.

The Jackpot played almost his A-game but Durrants concentration on every throw is fantastic.

I´m looking at Max Hopp to beat Smith at 2/1 tonight, you reckon it is a goer?

MVG and Garry Anderson should both win, but Wade vs Suljovič is a dilema. My money is on James.

Alisson Wonderland · « **Reply #16775 on:** July 23, 2019, 04:10:25 pm »

Michael Smith is one of the toughest to bet on because he’s so inconsistent. I’d fancy Smith to win but there is definitely a bit of value in Hopp at 2/1.

I agree with you on MVG and Anderson and Wade v Suljovic is a toss of a coin. I’d probably just favour Mensur based on his recent record at the Matchplay.

Hoop at 2-1 could be a great shout.

Wouldn't bet on either MVG or Anderson right now.

duzzle doing well here but I'm fucking sick of those target shirts now.

Durrant dumps MVG out

voodoo ray · « **Reply #16780 on:** July 23, 2019, 11:47:04 pm »

durrant fully deserved to win that but mvg really isn't playing very well at all lately.

Fordy · « **Reply #16781 on:** July 24, 2019, 08:18:09 am »

What is happening in MVG life?! Something is effecting him.

Alisson Wonderland · « **Reply #16782 on:** July 24, 2019, 12:21:03 pm »

I don’t think MVG actually played too badly yesterday, particularly in the second half of the game and he definitely played better than he did in the first round or on a couple of his recent games. Durrant was just too good for him in the end.

Maybe there is a bit of complacency slipping into his game as he only really came alive when he was under pressure. He doesn’t really have a very good record in the Matchplay for someone of his calibre. This will be the third year in a row that he hasn’t even made the semi-finals.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #16783 on:** July 24, 2019, 12:23:24 pm »

He was shite by his own standards. The amount of darts going low was ridiculous and there were legs where he couldn't find a treble for love nor money.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #16784 on:** July 24, 2019, 09:36:14 pm »

Ridiculous number of games going to the tiebreaker this year.

That Bunting match was a cracker. White just couldn’t get over the line

4pool · « **Reply #16786 on:** July 25, 2019, 10:51:04 pm »

Thursday July 25
Quarter-Finals
Michael Smith 16-11 Mervyn King
Glen Durrant 16-7 James Wade

One semi final set. Another one to go:

Friday July 26 (1900 BST)
Quarter-Finals
Rob Cross v Stephen Bunting
Peter Wright v Daryl Gurney

Hij · « **Reply #16787 on:** July 26, 2019, 10:56:08 am »

I'm off to the final on Sunday, leave on Saturday. We were supposed to go to the semi finals but the lad bought the wrong date by accident. Based on who is left it looks like the final should be decent whoever plays in it.

Alisson Wonderland · « **Reply #16788 on:** July 26, 2019, 12:14:04 pm »

I'm going to the semis tomorrow night. The Winter Gardens is probably the best venue to watch darts in my view.

I'd expect Cross and Wright to win tonight based on form and that should be a cracking match if they play each other in the semis.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #16789 on:** July 26, 2019, 12:51:28 pm »

It's a great venue but fuck me is it hot in there. It must have been unbearable the past couple of days.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #16790 on:** July 26, 2019, 09:02:37 pm »

Gutted for Bunting there. Good game though.

4pool · « **Reply #16791 on:** July 26, 2019, 09:11:31 pm »

Anyone got a decent stream for the Match play?

Incredible come back by Cross.

decent from cross that

Fordy · « **Reply #16794 on:** July 27, 2019, 09:09:43 pm »

Amazing come back from Cross. He looked well out of it at 10-5.

sinnermichael · « **Reply #16795 on:** July 27, 2019, 10:31:02 pm »

Fancy Smith to finally break his major duck tomorrow.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #16796 on:** July 27, 2019, 10:31:59 pm »

Should be a good final. Can't see either player running away with it.

This is why I never bet on darts haha.

Cross has won his last 17 legs in a row.

smith could come back here, cross hasn't really been playing all that well. smith's just been shite.
