It cannae be. Seriously. Poor second set there from both players, didnae look as if any of them wanted to win it!

...... 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!!

Cracking 118 there from O'Shea to break the throw................... and he takes the decider 3-0. Really good game of darts that.

Some poor darts there from O'Shea, he really shouldn't have lost that set. Some first match all the same!!

What a set from Green! Helped out by the x10 a couple of times, but some cracking cover shots.

Greens cover shots have been exceptional.

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.

This. Exactly this. It looks as if Lewis just wants off the stage, never mind be ready to put up a scrap.

Whitlocks first set today is something that I couldn't quite grasp then, and still can't. I know it's been done to death over the last three/four pages, but it was a phenomenal performance. Taylor is walking this. Lewis has missed a couple of chances, but Taylor is relentless.

That was an awesome set. From both players. Not that I want to bone the guy or that, but how does that first set stack up beside Whitlocks today?

"Two hurricanes ready to collide." Jesus fucking wept. Just for Rod Harrington, I hope somebody wins 5 zip.

Decent??? FUCKING DECENT??! Wash yer mouth out man!!! :D

Whitlock on his game is an absolutely awesome sight. Those 170 and 150 outshots - I mean come on to f**k. He is relentless and unerring. They may have been building it up (in fact they still are) but there is no way that Lewis vs Taylor, indeed any other match in this tournament will come close to what Whitlock is producing here.

THEN A 150!!!!!!!!!

WHAT. A. FINISH.!!!!!!!!!! Jesus fucking Christ this match is unbelievable.

That 6th set was absolutely incredible. Unbelievable stuff.

Aye, full credit to Wade there. It'll break my heart, but I can see Wade romping away with it now.

I consider myself to be a bit of a novice when it comes to watching the darts - well, since I started looking at this thread anyway - but I have to say I'm stunned at Whitlock in these two sets. He's awesome.

I've found a new sporting hero - what a fucking set of darts that was!! 37 darts to win a set? Jesus H. Keep it up Wizard!

More of that please Whitlock - what an opening leg.

Whether or not the missus is good enough to let me watch the second game, I hope Whitlock gives Wade a right shooin. I dunno why, but I just cannae stick " The Machine" at all.

Webster running away with the 8th set now.

Webster is beginning to look rattled - whilst at the same time Stompe is coming onto a game.

There's a man who needs NO excuse to come out with rancid keech, eh? I've been highly impressed with Whitlock, I have to say. He doesn't seem fazed at all. That treble is VERY tempting...
