Has Taylor ever played worse and won a final??? Dolan was obviously a bit overwelmed by the occassion but what was Taylor's excuse.

Think even Taylor is allowed an off day.Admittedly his game was well off,and if Dolan had taken his chances who knows?
If he had played as he did against Wade I reckon he would have done it.

That was a night of darts I didn't expect, Brendan Dolan hitting a 9 darter and then beating James Wade comfortably. I did expect a Wade/Taylor final but not it'll be a comfortable Taylor win without any sort of opposition.

I don`t know if Wade was affected by the crowd.I know people say you should shut it out,but it must be hard when you get booed every time you go to the oche.

Fair comment and perhaps if he had faced a player like Wade or Barney in good form he would have raised his game I guess his off day made it a better final and we should be grateful it was not a 6-0 in no time job and Dolan had a few glory moments along the way.

Sky have got it this year mate.

Re: Another Darts Thread : Tue Nov 08, 2011 6:29 pm  

Bloody hell, Part gets a reasonable draw for once.

Re: Another Darts Thread : Sun Nov 13, 2011 10:37 pm  

Jan Dekker is my new hero. Mr Coat is the best nickname ever and he actually comes out in a fantastic jacket aswell. Brilliant.

Seems Sky want Hankey in the Premier League, think the like of Newton, Nicholson and Webster will be fuming if they miss out to let him in.

I'd love Hankey in the PDC and the Premier League, he's a big character and a good player too. Personally I'd like to see him ahead of Nicholson and Webster anyway, Nicholson because he needs to learn to play consistently before he gets in not just on the back of acting up and Webster because he's had his chance recently and was poor for more or less the whole tournament.

Only just got my internet back up and running since Friday and I've been impressed with the GSOD so far, it's looking like a it'll be a good tournament again this year.
