Yes thanks, I'm quite enjoying this now :lol:

Enjoying being proved wrong?

You still haven't said why the throw was so vital come the last leg, a leg Taylor was completely outscored?

The bloke's easily the best darts player of all time and has been dominant for 20 years. In that time there have to be blips, he's still human. He's good enough as he is, I really don't understand why it seems that some (including Waddell) want to build him up even more. When the truth's that impressive you have no need to embellish it. If anything it only cheapens the reality.


Spot on, sums it all up really. It would just nice to see the consistency across the board, if Taylor hit 103 against Hankey they would've been talking about until the programme finished, Hankey was class and outplayed Taylor but it still gets overlooked.

I haven't been proven wrong in anything, I just enjoyed the fact i only had to mention the Power and you was firing all the abuse under the sun at me :lol:

The Power would have won had he had the throw, he'd won his previous 3 legs with throw before that. The only one he lost was his first leg with throw, he was never in trouble after that. Sure Hankey had Darts for the match but he never looked like hitting that double 19, the first dart was closer to Double Top.

You didn't just mention the power though, wrong again. You said he only lost because Hankey had the throw, he actually lost because Hankey won the final leg and throwing first had no bearing on it Hankey's good scoring and good finishing did it. Just because Taylor won legs before on his throw doesn't really prove anything. So Hankey having a better one and three dart average, hitting more 100's, 140's and 180's doesn't mean anything?

Taylor hit 100 with his first three darts in the final leg Hankey hit 180 followed by a 140 and finished in 14 darts, so even if Taylor threw first and they both started in the same fashion Hankey would've had the darts anyway. It meant nothing, even Taylor himself admitted he was outplayed he said, 'Ted out played me. My darts were clipping the wires just on the wrong side and I know I didn't play as well as I can.'

Feel sorry for Webster. Blew it big time, but you could see he was in bits about it.

Chisnall's let himself down so far, far too many stray darts. If he gets away with it (although it still doesn't look good) he should consider himself lucky.

To be honest Webster with a bit of steel about him would be up there where Whitlock is today but I think him dithering about moving over the divide instead of taking the plunge when he was World Champion shows a lack of self belief and days like this will not help matters. Bar getting sucked in by the crowd on Saturday Night he had a good tournament and if he can reflect on that rather than the negatives perhaps he can kick on and become a top PDC player but I fear he is a lower top 16 player at best unless he can find the confidence and belief to kick on up the rankings. If 3rd in the Worlds can not kick him on to have a good season (and he's had an awful one) I do not know what will and as Chris Mason said about Osbourne players should invest in their futures by hiring sports psychologists to work with them and Webster is right up there as a player who could do with going down that path.

I think Webster could maybe be top 8 but not top 5 like Whitlock. He's probably more likely to hover around 10-12 with the likes of Walsh and Hamilton though. I think Anderson is the best bet to break into the top 5, especially if he improves his finishing.
