Bunting v Jeff Smith isn’t bad. I mean would you rather watch that or log on here and see Thorn telling us all about his latest wank.
Neither.

Hopefully Ross Smith beats Jeff Smith.

Maybe he could have dragged Taylor down, we will never know.

He comes across as a decent bloke and I believe his body shop business in Canada burnt down just over a couple of years ago. I’m glad he will be keeping his tour card and I hope he can move up the rankings.

For the good of darts and for a great tv spectacle. John Norman JNR has to win his first round match so he can get to play MVG. The over the top histrionics from JN will hopefully put MVG off and we get the mother of all shocks.

While him against MvG would be...interesting lol, I suspect MvG would deal with the histrionics fine, unlike a certain Scottish player :lol:

If anyone fancies going for a dig, find us the times when previous World Final pairings occurred in later years in earlier rounds. What's the earliest round it's happened in?
Taylor and Painter twice met in the Last 32, in 2016 and 2017.
Good show. 2 in 1.

And indeed, as mentioned by you and thegentle, the 2008 World Final had been a Last 32 game in 2010: Part v Shepherd.

If we go in the opposite direction, we can mention Taylor v MVG. That was the World Final in 2013, having been a Last 64 game in 2008.

Also, MVG v Wright. The World Final in both 2014 and 2020, having been a Last 32 game in 2013.
