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.

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.

Group D looks a tad tasty and I think Waites and Taylor will be happy with their lot.

Is ITV still showing GSOD or is it switch over to Sky as was the rumour last year ?

Sky have got it this year mate.

Bloody hell, Part gets a reasonable draw for once.

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.
