"Stop going on about it"

[Safc]

OCHE

It appears the 1 millionth dart was a single 20 but its takes sky too long to get the graphics up so it makes u think it's a single 1

Probably a howler its self

[mad jock]

Quote...Miscounted during the very first leg of the evening too in the Murnan vs Aspinall match.

The only mistakes I ever see from the refs are by him; the sooner the PDC bin him off the better.

They only keep him for his 180 BS voice

[PT13]

Oche, one bit needs correcting from yesterday, as I had mentioned in another post yesterday.

The 6-3 score was actually the set score in the 2006 Las Vegas Desert Classic final when Part beat Barney. Barney's win over Taylor in the semi final was 4-3 in sets.

[Grim Reaper]

Laura Woods calling James Wade "James Round" when running down the evening's matches after the Smith vs O'Connor game.

Laura Woods calling James Wade "James Round" when running down the evening's matches after the Smith vs O'Connor game.

Not exactly an inaccurate description of him, or indeed most darts players!

[Pigpen]

Webby sayys "this could be Michael Smith's maiden major win. He has a really good attitude"

[Randall]

No
No he doesn't

[Ross, Bob]

Webby sayys "this could be Michael Smith's maiden major win. He has a really good attitude"

Quite delusional.

[thegentle]

They keep banging on about how Smith is a different player these days, but any time he's made a major final (a proper major, not one of the tinpot ones) he's had a kind run, and he certainly doesn't have a kind run here...

Mark Webster says I think Joe will be coming back with Kleermaker sitting on 258

[Safc]

Peter Wright's drunken interview live on sky

[Randall]

And his darts selection

[Grim Reaper]

Also during the Wright/Heta match at the beginning, the graphics said that Wright beat Meikle in Round One, it was Round Two.

[Jimmi]

A graphic also displayed saying that Wright had hit 550 180’s in the tournament.

[The Thorn]

A graphic also displayed saying that Wright had hit 550 180’s in the tournament.

Hasn't hit that many in his whole career, the useless cunt

[Captain Hobo]

A graphic also displayed saying that Wright had hit 550 180’s in the tournament.

It said 'Wright Tournament 180s'

I assumed it meant how many he has hit in the World's for his career.

[Emulsfier]

That first set of Jose v Soutar.
