PDC World Matchplay 20th - 28th July 2019- Blackpool

[ChrisW]

That was a fantastic watch. Match of the first round already on night 1?

[BlueSpark]

Dart off the board going for a single 20, there
At least Paula hits a 12 or an 18.

Pantaloons from Noppert so far

[ssjsa]

Fairly comfortable first session for Gary, but not playing great, so needs to roll over Noppert before he gets a chance to settle into the match.

Not the best from sky no interview after the 1st winner of the night itv can do it this what sky lack at times

If Sky got rid of all the shit build up and pre recorded interviews would be time for the post match ones. No way they need so much studio chatter.

Why on earth do they need over 30 minutes of chat before the start. They could easily have the first match starting at 7:10pm.
Also as usual with them way to many advertising breaks.

Were you watching the same programme tonight? They had nowhere near 30 mins of build up.

Was something like 25 minutes of waffle so got bored and turned over. Only came back toward end to see King win.

Sky have way too much talk for me. One of the reasons the matches run on way to late. After midnight finishes is a disgrace. Although worst culprits there were ITV4 with the German Masters. Should have cut well over an hour of crap out of the finals night plus started an hour earlier.

Some of us have 5:30am starts on a week day so can’t stay up to stupid times,

[Ginge]

It was nowhere near 25 minutes. Just checked a Whatsapp group and King had broken by 7.22. Maybe even earlier as i am watching on a delay.

[The Crusader]

Bunting had at least 5 bounce outs from the 60, Gando just had one from them middle of Bull.

Unicorn boards are really dog muck.

[BlueSpark]

That was an underwhelming match after the last one.
Let’s hope Dobey can give Cross a good hiding.

[ssjsa]

Not overly impressive from Gary, but through to the next round regardless.

Little bit of an anti climax following that superb 1st match between Aspinall and King.

Working all day tomorrow, but have the afternoon and evening sessions on Sky+, so probably a late night for me catching up on both sessions.

He will make minced meat out of the polish sausage

[ChrisW]

Great odds available for Demo man. Considering his last two matchplays he reached the quarters.
