Disciplinary action taken by the Danish Darts Union (DDU) against one of its members has handed a spot at January’s Lakeside Darts World Championship to Englishman, Sam Hewson.

Vladimir Andersen has been handed a six month ban for what appears to be inappropriate behaviour and/or attitude at a tournament in Denmark, the Samso Open. It seems that he was verbally warned on the Friday for his behaviour – a warning that he accepted.

It’s reported his behaviour became abusive once more on the Saturday and he used threatening language, including “fek you” and “fat pig” at “high volume”. The tournament referee saw fit to ban Anderson for the rest of the weekend.

Lancashire's Les Fitton saw off Ten Times World Champion Phil Taylor 5-1 in the early rounds of the Vauxhall 128 Pro in Great Yarmouth today, before going all the way to clinch victory.
The 42 year old was in supreme form as he brushed aside Taylor, Irish Master Champion Denis Ovens, Colin Lloyd and John Ferrell on his way to the title.

That is cool.

Interesting suggestion that there might be another cross-code showdown in 2000. I don't know if it was ever seriously suggested as an annual event.
In 2000 it would have been Hankey v Taylor, two fine gents.

...
And the ambitious Bristolonian is also hoping to face PDC World Champion Phil Taylor.

Not convinced? This wasn't the last time Mace said Taylor has no bottle.

Where did that myth come from in 2000?

Taylor had beaten Barney and Burnett in televised cross-code clashes by that point. He'd also won the rivalry with Priestley and beaten Bristow in a lively affair in 1997. Harrington had a great record against him in untelevised events, but I don't think Rod ever beat him in a PDC TV event.

The only real recent blemishes on his record in the late 90s were his losses to Baxter, Evison and Manley in Blackpool, but he was dominating the competition on TV otherwise. The bigger the occasion, the more likely he was to deliver.

Taylor didn't want to play Les Wallace and played Burnett instead who was on a serious dip of form, But Mason was trash talking it seemed

I watched the back end of the 1998 Matchplay... years ago now, so I may be misremembering. Mason was on course to play Taylor in the semis and he was crapping on Taylor before the fixture had even been confirmed. It didn't happen in the end because Baxter beat Taylor in the QFs.

Mason said that Taylor has no bottle because he is never under pressure so he's not used to it and he can't handle it. Make of that what you will. He was just lashing out I think. He had a history of saying such things about Taylor. At that tournament Jeff Stelling likened Mason to Prince Naseem Hamed.

Aye, it was probably a failed attempt to get into Taylor's head and hype himself up in the process.

I mean Taylor had to withstand a 101 average from Priestley in the 1996 final at the Circus Tavern. Also, the Bristow game in 1997 was not only close but contested against a master of mind games in front of a rabid crowd.

Anyway, those comments came back to haunt Mason in a hurry.

I don't think Wallace would have provided a stiffer challenge than Priestley in 1997.
