Walk on girl who's just walked out with MVG wins my award for 'Walk on girl of the season'

 

[Richard Cranium]

I think we will get a 9 darter here!

 

[Richard Cranium]

Kin hell, Didn't see that coming tonight.

 

[Master D]

Glory glory Gary Anderson.

 

[Richard Cranium]

World and PL champion, Not bad. MVG is some player though. The standard at the moment is incredible. Roll on the next one!

 

[Master D]

It's a tricky one as for me MvG is the best player in the world and he always finishes top of the league but Anderson has had the indian sign over him twice now when it really matters. Anderson said it himself, MvG's speed plays into Gary's hands.

 

[Gilly?]

Went to an exhibition last night with Martin Adams. Managed to take a leg off him but it turns out he's really good. Really nice bloke too.

Phil Taylor v Gary Anderson and Adrian Lewis v Michael van Gerwen tonight in the World Series of Darts semi finals. Two cracking matches to look forward to at 10pm on ITV4.

 

[Murphy]

Been enjoying the World Cup of Darts over the past few days, Hong Kong have been great although it looks as though they'll be heading out in the QFs.

Proper needle between Belgium and Australia earlier, Nicholson and Kim Huybrechts not particularly big fans of eachother.

 

[Munkiki]

Haven't been watching, have Barney/MvG been playing this poorly throughout or just an off day?

 

[SamScfc]

Anyone been watching the world cup tonight? Barney has been absolutely shocking, MVG has carried them, RVB keeps hitting 5 even though he's got specs on!

 

[Murphy]

Tell you what, that's the best World Cup of Darts I can remember. One shocking match from Barney aside, quality has been through the roof. The match between MVG and Peter Wright was absolutely immense in the Semi, and the final going down to the wire was testament to what a fantastic tournament it has been.

Brilliant stuff.

 

[Gilly?]

Wolfie has agreed to take part in the Grand Slam of Darts. Finally get to see him against the big guns.

 

[The Iron]

He will get absolutely thrashed by the best players that is for sure. The standard of the BDO players is abysmal compared to the PDC.

 

[Gilly?]

Adams is quality, there's a lot of top quality players in the BDO. On floor tournaments they're very very good. It doesn't quite translate as well when they get on stage though.

BDO is grass roots, I'm beginning to appreciate it a lot more these days.

 

[Murphy]

Pelting start to the Matchplay these opening couple of days - hard pushed to find a game that has lacked quality. Bunting and White in particular was an absolute scorcher, as was Wade and Kyle Anderson this evening.

 

[Gilly?]

Kyle Anderson has a lovely throw. It's basically dart porn.

 

[Murphy]

Was having this debate with the old man yesterday, who has the weirdest throw? I narrowed it down to either the Finnish guy Korte, or Dennis Smith who's throw just irritates me every time I watch him (Which thankfully isn't all that often these days).

Another good night though, Chisnall/Caven was a belter, gutted to see Barney go out although he didn't look up to it for large parts so no surprise really.

 

[Gilly?]

Petri Korte has the strangest throw in darts, though a guy on my local league could quite easily take that mantle. I'll try and get a video of it next time we play the team.

Dennis Smith seems like a nice fella but because of his throw, he's automatically a bellend.

 

[Gilly?]

Whilst Andrew Gilding is probably a nice bloke, it doesn't stop him looking like a sexual predator. Great start by him though, 11 darter. I don't remember the last time I had an 11 darter, good year ago.

 

[Murphy]

Yeah I really like Gilding. Feel like him and Ian White are constantly underrated by most which is a big mistake.

But yeah, he does look a bit dodgy. Just don't smile Andrew, just don't smile.

 

[Gilly?]

I rate Ian White, I've got my money on him to do Whitlock. Nice throwing action too.

Is it sad to enjoy a good throwing style?

 

[Murphy]

Na, a nice fluent throw is #DartsPorn.

I can't decide on Andy Hamilton's - it's hard not to love the rhythmic nature of it.

 

[Gilly?]

Andy Hamilton's annoys me, but I think it's more down to the fact he annoys me.

Adrian Lewis, Michael Smith, Kyle Anderson, Barney, Paul Nicholson, Ted Hankey all have throws that give boners. I quite like Scotty Rand too... and obviously my pub standard throw is majestic.

 

[Gilly?]

Gerwen Price is costing me money here. He's on fire!

 

[Hooray]

On the subject of enjoyable throws, I've always liked Wade's.

Price is playing some marvellous darts here.

 

[Murphy]

I like Gerywn Price - a lot. Showed some serious nerve there - what game as well. What an evening in fact, sort of just want to give Jamie Lewis a big hug, playing any else with that sort of form and he's probably the favourite to win.

I love Darts.

 

[Gilly?]

Gerwyn has cost me a bit of money but I'm chuffed to bits for him. He's a bit of a tank so I'm guessing he scared the darts in.

 

[Murphy]

He wears a shirt with a 6 pack painted on. You don't mess with tossers like that (Although he seems like a genuinely nice guy).

 

[Master D]

What a match. MvG just scraping it.
