The thing is, he's not. Far from it. He was on a ton+ finish in that set, and he threw a 59 I think it was.
And his doubles have been pretty sketchy. He's big scoring, aye, but the rest of his game in that set was not of his usual standard.
He's an absolute lunatic. I genuinely think he doesn't know what he's sayin half the time.
That x8 will cost Whitlock.
And it has.
I cannae fucking watch.
Didn't see any of the darts last night - but when I had a sneaked a cheeky wee look at the news on my fone and saw "Whitlock stuns Barney to reach final" I was off my seat! Ya fuckin beauty, I can't wait for the final tonight.
I really hope Whitlock brings his A game. He might still only win 2-3 sets but it would make it some kind of contest.
Won't be able to post OR watch the matches tonight. Fucking gutted. Mon the Wizard!!!!
EDIT - regarding whether to take out Sid or Tony with one bullet. How comes nobody has thought of the classic Hollywood shot - stand them one behind the other and the bullet will go straight through, thus taking out both of your foes!!!
Sid Waddell is a fucking muppet.
Van de Wiel's doubles are really beginning to let him down. Those three attempts at x20 were rank rotten.
Walton is scrapping to stay in this.
EDIT - and he takes the third set.
...... and Willy breaks right back.
The two of them are throwing thirties, forties - pretty poor. Although Willy has had a couple of bounce outs.
Could be anybodys match.
I like Colin Murray - seems to have a good rapport with Bobby Dazzler already.
Just watching this laddie Van de Wiel - couple of very decent legs there!!
The whole "3 dart average" thing mystified me earlier.
At one point, I cannae mind what set it was, but Taylors average was on screen as being 107.5. He threw a 96 I think it was (certainly less than a ton anyway) and his average jumped to 107.88!! I'm no maths whizz, but how the f**k is that?
I absolutely refuse to be drawn into this averages pish. Legs won will do me.
