Darts Thread

[Jords]

Anybody else watch them on ITV4?

Dont watch it religiously but always dip in and out of it when its on (always makes it feel more like Xmas for me too). Phil Taylor is a God.

[Jords]

Probably the only sport thread Ive made. :laugh2:

[MTVN]

Yes, I'm a big Darts fan, missed it tonight though. Taylor is unstoppable right now, he's winning every major and it's not even close. Even Barney cant put up much of a challenge anymore. He really has to be nominated for Sports Personality of the year at some point, 15 time world champion fgs. Glad to see Baxter won tonight as well, he's probably my favourite player, along with Peter Manley

[Beso]

James wade has a big arse.

[Stacey.]

I'm actually watching it now :/

I hope that Scott Waites wins the whole thing now.

[Niamh.]

I'm watching, not by choice though!

[Jordan.]

I only watch it if theres really nothing else on.

[MTVN]

Come on Adrian Lewis!!

[Stacey.]

Come on Adrian Lewis!!

He's such an arrogant bastard

[King Gizzard]

Can't stand the Darts on BBC/ITV whatever it is. Skysports is alright though. Once you get good on the terrestrial darts you then go over to skysports where there's more money.

[MTVN]

He's such an arrogant bastard

:shocked:

http://images.sportinglife.com/07/07/330/330lewis_479262.jpg

The man is a legend :worship:

And anyway we dont want a Welshman or a Scot to win :nono:

[King Gizzard]

Some guy with crazy hair who went out to Phil Taylor a couple rounds back is from my town

[MTVN]

Can't stand the Darts on BBC/ITV whatever it is. Skysports is alright though. Once you get good on the terrestrial darts you then go over to skysports where there's more money.

Yeah the BBC darts is shocking compared to the PDC on Sky, the players are a lot worse, very few could compete with those from the PDC, and there's no atmosphere the games

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

lol stacey watches darts :laugh2:

[King Gizzard]

Oh, and I can't stand Phil Taylor. Glad he's out

[Novo]

lol stacey watches darts :laugh2:

Can't imagine it either :laugh3:

[Stacey.]

Sometimes when there's nothing else on I do :laugh:

[seanraff07]

UK Open starts on Sky Sports on Thursday.

Hopefully Anderson can continue his fine year and win it.

[Mr CW]

Anderson is on fine form. Future world champion no doubt.

[seanraff07]

Anderson is on fine form. Future world champion no doubt.

Yep. Was unlucky to lose in the final at the start of this year, he had a fantastic tournament. Lewis' 9 darter was special though.

[Mr CW]

Sure was, he got his revenge in the premier league though. I've got a feeling we're going to see a 9 darter this weekend in bolton.

[Mr CW]

Anyone watch the uk open opening night tonight? . Was a couple of shocks, third round looks tasty, lewis and jenkins has to be the stand out match for the 3rd round. Should be a good few days in bolton. :spin:

[MTVN]

Looks like there's gonna be an upset here, Taylor 7-3 down to Paul Nicholson in the last 16

[Novo]

Paul Nicholson beat him 9-8 in the end

Amazing finish

[King Gizzard]

I can see the alexandra palace from where I am sitting right now in my make shift bed at my bro's place :)

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

why are there no good looking men in this sport :bored:

[King Gizzard]

because its a pub sport..

Unstickied until major tournament

[Alf]

grand slam of darts starts at weekend.
i tip justin pipe to go well, i'm not saying he will win it, but he's my dark horse.

[MTVN]

Think I'm getting tickets to the Premier League this year, can't wait for it

[Jords]

Players Championship

Sad for Nicholson would have been an amazing finish if he got the bull!

[Jords]

Pipe is doing well but oh boy is he slow!

[Jords]

Taylor v Jenkins

Fantastic match both have missed great opportunities but I think Taylor's snatched back Jenkins' early lead :D

[Jords]

HE DID IT :dance:

[MTVN]

Scott Rand has beaten Barney and now Wade :bored: none of the players left have ever won a PDC major

[REye]

I don't watch it on tv but have played a few times in my local. Is great fun. Especially when you combine a play with a bit of money gambling.

[Jords]

Painter :worship:

[MTVN]

Amazing game between Gary Anderson and Artut who's basically a nobody, gone to a tiebreaker!

Edit - Anderson's won now, only after coming from 2 sets down though :hello:

[Jords]

MTVN is it possible to unscramble a channel? Cant watch it comes up with that :(

[MTVN]

Is this freeview? I think you have to subscribe to Top Up TV to get Sky Sports on there, not completely sure though :conf2:

[MTVN]

Wade is a big boy these days isn't he, just got destroyed by Taylor. Next week'll be interesting deciding who makes the playoffs

[King Gizzard]

Some good Mcleish out signs at the darts

[MTVN]

Taylor about to win another Premier League

[MTVN]

Great game this, Whitlock was 7-2 down but he's got it back to 7-7

[MTVN]

[MTVN]

Final day of the Players Championship today

[MTVN]

The Flying Scotsman has launched a great comeback here

[MTVN]

Ok never mind he's lost

[Marcus.]

hi guys

[MTVN]

Hello there Marcus, do you fancy the Hammer or the Power in this one?

[Marcus.]

Hello there Marcus, do you fancy the Hammer or the Power in this one?

i wanted hammer but i can see power winning it now

[MTVN]

Can't believe the Hammer's bottled this

[Marcus.]

Can't believe the Hammer's bottled this

i know well done power

[Alf]

can you feel the force?

hopefully this is pipe's time to at last breakthrough and win a tv tournament,(huybrechts will be no pushover), but whitlock's looking in good form.

i go for whitlock vs pipe final

[Marcus.]

can you feel the force?

hopefully this is pipe's time to at last breakthrough and win a tv tournament,(huybrechts will be no pushover), but whitlock's looking in good form.

i go for whitlock vs pipe final

same here

[MTVN]

The Whitlock & Taylor semi will be the key, you've got to fancy whoever wins that to beat either Pipe or Huybrechts

[Marcus.]

The Whitlock & Taylor semi will be the key, you've got to fancy whoever wins that to beat either Pipe or Huybrechts

yeah

[Locke.]

Get this out of the sports section

[MTVN]

Certainly not, everyone knows darts is a sport

[Marcus.]

Certainly not, everyone knows darts is a sport

yes it is

[Alf]

Get this out of the sports section
someone's jealous of it's popularity
you won't find these competitor's cheating to gain an advantage, not like football players do, this is played with sportsmanship, and competitiveness, making it a sport.

[Marcus.]

[Alf]

huybrechts in the final, beat pipe 11-6

[Marcus.]

huybrechts in the final, beat pipe 11-6

that good to hear

[MTVN]

Didn't see the semis or final because of the NFL, surprised at how comfortably Taylor dispatched Whitlock though, didn't expect him to have too much trouble against Huybrechts

[Alf]

world chapionship's next
you should have backed taylor for it last week, price will have gone well down now.

i'm tipping gary anderson for the world chapionship
robert thornton for a big outsider

[MTVN]

World Championship starts tonight :amazed:

[SocietyIsRuined]

I've bet Barneveld are 18-1. He's already won the Grand Prix. Can't see past Taylor though.

[Marcus.]

World Championship starts tonight :amazed:

oh will put it on

[MTVN]

I might put some money on the Hammer or Thornton as dark horses, don't expect either to win but pretty good odds on them both

[Novo]

Come on the Swede

[Novo]

THE ARTIST!!!!!

[King Gizzard]

Has the great Co Stompe been on yet

PLAY UP STOMPE, STOMPE PLAY UP

http://i.imgur.com/4uyeW.jpg

[MTVN]

Lost 3-0 to Paul Nicholson :joker:

[King Gizzard]

**** sake :joker:

[King Gizzard]

no way is this Hopp guy 16

[Novo]

The dream is nearly over for Dennis

[Alf]

i need kim huybrechts to just win tonight for £44

i did
k huybrechts to win
j pipe to win
r thornton, minus 1 and half
j wade, minus 1 and half
w newton, minus 1 and half
m webster plus 1 and half
p taylor minus 2 and half
to a fiver

pays just over 8/1

[Alf]

what a *****ing bag of sh*t huybrechts

wank*r

[Novo]

Snakebite is destroying michael van gerwen at the minute

[Black Dagger]

Good ole Wright.

[Black Dagger]

LMAO at those giraffes.

[Novo]

The Storm Troopers are there

[Novo]

Mighty Mike has woke up

[Black Dagger]

You've jinxed him, Andy

[Novo]

118 average in that last set, jesus christ

[Alf]

i backed 4 players to win the title
1 of them went this afternoon, justin pipe
i've also done james wade, gary anderson who plays barney
and i've done robert thornton who has to get by the power next on tonight (tall order)

[MTVN]

The Hammer does it again

[Novo]

The Hammer will be destroyed when he comes up against The Artist soon

[MTVN]

A great day of darts lined up today, Barney against Anderson should be an amazing game

[MTVN]

Adrian Lewis destroying the Artist a bit later tonight as well

[Novo]

Don't be so stupid and naive. The Artist will destroy him

[Legend killer]

Barney is about to reclaim his rightful place at the top of the game. We all saw him make Taylor CRUMBLE like shortbread when they went toe to toe when Barney first switched codes

[Novo]

Anyone who doesn't think Phil Taylor is the best ever by a massive distance needs to take a good long hard look at themselves

[Legend killer]

Taylor like a serpant at night feasted in the weakest era of darts history where bloody Colin Bloody Lloyd( was actually number 1 isthisreallife.gif ) Wayne Mardle and Kevin painter were his main challengers

After making Taylor crumble in the WC Barney went on to dominate the next 2 years winning ranking event after event.It got so easy infact he changed his darts and throwing action and never recoverd up until this year where the sleeping giant was finally awoken disposing of a player in Gerwen who destroys Taylor on the regs at the grand slam

[Novo]

Don't be silly Legend Killer, Taylor is miles ahead of him but it's nearly time for the Artist to draw the perfect picture and win the World Title

[MTVN]

Don't be so disrespectful of Colin Lloyd LK

OoqXrmmo7SU

[MTVN]

Taylor and Barney head to head

Played: 55

Draws: 1

Phil Taylor: 43

Raymond van Barneveld: 11

...

[Novo]

Jesus christ and there i was thinking Vika's record against Serena looks bad

[Legend killer]

LLOYD is a BLOODY BUM don't disrespect me by putting that bum's name in the same sentence as mine

[Novo]

Pretty good game here between Whitlock and Chisnall

[Legend killer]

Also LOL at those disguised stats you posted

World Championship 1 1 (Barney's being in the final)

Major/Premier 6 4 (Barney was leading this before he went into sleeping)

Non Ranking 24 1 3

So when it actually matters ie:ranking events the head to head is neck and neck

[Novo]

A 130 Checkout from the Wizard

[Marcus.]

oh i did not know it was on

puts it on

[MTVN]

Barney was close a few years ago but I'd probably put at least 5 other players ahead of him now

[MTVN]

Bloody Chizzy

[Black Dagger]

Come on Chissy lad.

[Novo]

The Wizard is on the ropes

[MTVN]

Oh no

[Black Dagger]

Yes.

Don't **** it up now Chissy.

[Novo]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Black Dagger]

Oh bugger off.

[Legend killer]

Barney was close a few years ago but I'd probably put at least 5 other players ahead of him now

Yep sadly he changed his darts and throwing action for some unknown reason after his dominant 2 year spell

[MTVN]

Magic!!!!!

[Novo]

**** sake, The Wizard has no nerves

[MTVN]

Yep sadly he changed his darts and throwing action for some unknown reason after his dominant 2 year spell

Think the diabetes had quite a big affect on him as well

[Marcus.]

it the nerves

[Black Dagger]

Think Chissy has given up here.

[Legend killer]

Think the diabetes had quite a big affect on him as well

Yah that did not help but still does not explain his sudden change of a proven winning formula. At least this year he has started to play somewhere near what he is capable

[MTVN]

http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/63070000/jpg/_63070839_eurochamps_sf_whitlock.jpg

[Black Dagger]

Oh I can't be doing with his girlfriend for another game :bored:

[Novo]

Is The Artist and Lewis the main event tonight?

[Black Dagger]

Yes, it is Novo.

Looking forward to watching our Kevin slay him.

[MTVN]

That keeps my last 20p from my betting account alive, just need wins for Wade, Anderson, Lewis & Van Gerwen now

[Novo]

Come on Wade

[Black Dagger]

Can't stand James Wade.

And he's a miserable *******.

[Black Dagger]

Lewis is such a bellend.

Come on Kevin lad.

[Black Dagger]

:amazed:

Better keep that up.

[MTVN]

****ing hell Anderson

[MTVN]

Right now c'mon Lewis, can't lose to this thug

[MTVN]

Lewis has got this

[King Gizzard]

Whitlock :worship:

[MTVN]

Time for the Artist to pack up his tools :xyxwave:

[MTVN]

"He said it was a rubbish game, I think that was a bit disrespectful" :joker:

[Alf]

lewis vs mighty mike looks a tastie tie

[Black Dagger]

FFS Kevin.

Hopefully Gerwen eats him alive :amazed:

[Legend killer]

We gonna act like Barney has not looked in a different class to anyone else in the tourney. Gonna take out Simon GUTLESS Whitlock with utter ease

[Novo]

Well it looks like my good friend Wade will have to take this world title now

[King Gizzard]

http://i.imgur.com/U28hK.jpg

[MTVN]

Tonight is the night the Hammer finally takes down Taylor

[SocietyIsRuined]

Got a feeling that Newton is going to win this.

[SocietyIsRuined]

Can't stand James Wade.

And he's a miserable *******.

That's what depression and bi-polar can do to you.

[Alf]

barney's on fire, can anyone stop him?

[MTVN]

Good to see him playing so well, looked quite emotional about it at the end of that 5th set

[SocietyIsRuined]

He blew Whitlock away. He deserves to win the whole thing the way he is playing.

[Alf]

it's hammer time

[Alf]

the power needs to send a message out to barney, to put some fear into him

[Marcus.]

it's hammer time

come hammer

[Legend killer]

We gonna act like Barney has not looked in a different class to anyone else in the tourney. Gonna take out Simon GUTLESS Whitlock with utter ease

http://glennedley.co.nz/mm-assets/2012/120206-mindreader.gif

NUFF SAID!!!!!

[Novo]

Because no one would have predicted that anyway :crazy: Taylor will destroy Barney next

[Novo]

Taylor playing at 5% of his goat mode and still taking apart Hamilton

[Black Dagger]

He's slaying him :worship:

[Legend killer]

Hamilton is another gutless bum like Whitlock has some sort of mental block vs Taylor Barney has no such problem and will finish him with utter contempt

[Legend killer]

Because no one would have predicted that anyway :crazy: Taylor will destroy Barney next

http://gifsforum.com/images/gif/you%20mad/grand/34439274_u_mad_gif.gif

[Novo]

Think i'll be posting that gif to you when Taylor gives Barney a good beating

[Legend killer]

Find you own gif's

[Novo]

can't be bothered, yours will do the trick

[Novo]

Anything Barney can do the Power can do better it seems

[Legend killer]

Barney Army!!!!!!

[MTVN]

LK really pleased with himself predicting Barney would beat Whitlock :joker: :joker:

[MTVN]

The poor Hammer though

[MTVN]

Looks like I am going to have to join forces with Legend Killer and see Barney take the trophy

[Black Dagger]

Sorry, Van Gerwen is going to beat him in the final after he finishes off Lewis tonight :worship:

[Legend killer]

I hope I play Phil. I'm not scared

WAR BARNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

[MTVN]

Newton 2-0 up against Wade

[Novo]

Wade will come back

[Marcus.]

yes he will

[Legend killer]

Barney has the dynamic duo of me and MTVN behind it does not get much better then that

[Marcus.]

Barney has the dynamic duo of me and MTVN behind it does not get much better then that

no it dose not

[Black Dagger]

Van Gerwen has me representing him and me > everybody else xo

[Marcus.]

Van Gerwen has me representing him and me > everybody else xo

i always go for the underdog

[MTVN]

Mutant Mike van Gerwen

[Marcus.]

Mutant Mike van Gerwen

is he the under dog

[Black Dagger]

I wouldn't class him as an underdog, he's been very consistent this year and bookies have taken notice of him. Adrian is more of the underdog tonight and he's the current world champion, so.

[MTVN]

He's actually the favourite although Lewis is the reigning world champion and I'd say better than Mutant Mike when he's on top form

(didn't see Lucas' post)

[Marcus.]

oh that guys

[Legend killer]

Mike taps Taylors ass for fun he has no respect for him he only bows to one man and that is Barney


In Barney We Trust

[MTVN]

Great game in the end, well deserved for Wadey

[Marcus.]

Great game in the end, well deserved for Wadey

yes it was

[Black Dagger]

Wanted Wes to take it, but well done Wade.

I don't think he's playing strongly enough to beat either Gerwen or Lewis, but he can give it a go.

[Marcus.]

Wanted Wes to take it, but well done Wade.

I don't think he's playing strongly enough to beat either Gerwen or Lewis, but he can give it a go.

well he the underdog

[Black Dagger]

That bloody double 16 letting him down :bored:

[Marcus.]

That bloody double 16 letting him down :bored:

that just evil

[Black Dagger]

There we go, another set like that will make me feel more confident.

[MTVN]

Ridiculous the number of 180s MVG has thrown, Lewis is one of the only players who could keep up with him playing like this

[Black Dagger]

Just been amazing game.

Need Lewis to mess up here so he doesn't make it 4-4.

[MTVN]

Yes!!!!!

[Black Dagger]

Urgh, just kick my nerves in even more.

[Marcus.]

Urgh, just kick my nerves in even more.

they do that

[Black Dagger]

He's got this now :bored:

[MTVN]

This is it

[MTVN]

What's he done

[MTVN]

Shiiiiiiiittttt

[Black Dagger]

Yeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssss

[Marcus.]

Yeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssss

he done well

[MTVN]

Can't believe it, probably the best game I've ever seen, gutted for Lewis

[Black Dagger]

Yeah, I was never really into darts before the past couple of years, and here I am jumping around like a twat.

What has the Olympics done to me.

[Black Dagger]

And now tomorrow we'll have Taylor vs Barn.

Crazy.

[Alf]

the machine will swallow them all

[King Gizzard]

The chosen one

http://i.imgur.com/QdU79.jpg

[Alf]

had a poker night at mine, so i had the music on and the sound down on the darts, so i don't know what the reaction was for them 2 games tonight, but from what i saw it looked like great games.

i've got wade at 16/1, but i've only had 2 quid on, i had a tenner on him last year at 10/1(i always back him)

he looked class tonight, newton give him a good go, but i am scared of van gerwen, the kids class, hopefully wade can grind him down, been a great championships though and more to come.

[Alf]

englands 2 best vs hollands 2 best

i'm predicting an all England final

[King Gizzard]

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02093/james-wade_2093441b.jpg

[King Gizzard]

Love how fast van gerwen throws his darts, whoever wins that match I want to win, or just not Taylor

[Novo]

A lot of dutch players are fast throwers, VDV Is the fastest thrower in the game

[Legend killer]

God can't wait for Barney to chuck the trash out. Taylor has been feasting in the weak era for too long he can't handle real competition

IN BARNEY WE TRUST!!!!!

[Black Dagger]

I'm very Brit-orientated, I like seeing us do well.

But I want an all Dutch final. Come on Barney and Mighty Mike.

[Legend killer]

BD showing why he is a quality member

[Black Dagger]

Why thank you LK.

[Novo]

Taylor could win this with one eye shut if he really wanted to but it's hard to keep the hunger for winning something you have won so many times in the past

[Marcus.]

just put it on now

what have i missed

[Legend killer]

87% win ratio for the year

Yet she only won 1 slam guess my cock ain't the only thing she chokes on

[MTVN]

Thought you were on about Taylor for a while there

[King Gizzard]

Love how Wade sounds so bored all the time :joker:

[Novo]

Wade 6-4 Mighty Mike
Taylor 6-2 Barney

Quote me on that Simps

[King Gizzard]

Awful from MVG

[Novo]

5/5 on the Doubles for MVG

[Novo]

Wade was 0/3 in that set i think

[Novo]

7/7

[Jesus.]

Anyone watching it on stream and got a good one?

[King Gizzard]

Seems I've spurred MVG on

[Novo]

Wade's face then :joker:

[Black Dagger]

Might Mike not wanting to let me down.

[Novo]

Van Gerwen has come a long way from the days of Jobbing out to Gary Robson and Wolfy in the BDO

[King Gizzard]

Poor Wade, ah well, like MVG as well and his weird celebration

[Novo]

Hang on a minute

[Novo]

****ing hell :joker:

[Black Dagger]

****ing legend. Shame that wasn't a double.

[Novo]

Go on Wade

[Black Dagger]

**** off Wade

[King Gizzard]

MVG is not human

[Legend killer]

God dammit the alien is inserting his probe into Wade's ass swiftly amazing stuff from MVG

[Legend killer]

Wade being classless as usual would not even congratulate MVG after his 9 darter

[Novo]

Good old Wade

[Novo]

Cool and Calm by the great James Wade

[Novo]

Yessssssssssssssssssss

[thesheriff443]

great match being played.

[Black Dagger]

Bugger off Wade.

[King Gizzard]

Great match

[Novo]

**** sake Wade

[Black Dagger]

They have hyped Barney vs Taylor to the point it obviously won't be able to compete with. Pretty sure this will be the better match of the night.

[Novo]

Yes!!!!!!!

[Black Dagger]

Urgh

[Marcus.]

Urgh

he done well

[thesheriff443]

They have hyped Barney vs Taylor to the point it obviously won't be able to compete with. Pretty sure this will be the better match of the night.

no,taylor greatest player of all time!

[Novo]

Wade is missing far to many doubles

[Black Dagger]

Get in Mikey lad.

[Legend killer]

Wade 6-4 Mighty Mike
Taylor 6-2 Barney

Quote me on that Simps



And Novo gets laughed of another sports thread

http://gifsforum.com/images/gif/you%20mad/grand/34439274_u_mad_gif.gif

[King Gizzard]

Walked off straight away and didn't congratulate his 9 darter, dick
