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

[WizardofozFan]

Been a terrific tournament so far - Price beaten in an epic by Bunting last night, Hopp ousting Chisnall in extra-time this afternoon, Smith & Hughes deserving to go through with excellent displays this afternoon - sad one had to lose, and the Wade-JDZ encounter just now. Nothing beats the Matchplay!

Terrific bottle & ability when it mattered most from Wade, albeit after five missed match darts from de Zwaan, who stupidly left 60 for a second time having missed it the first time.

Once again a lack of class from Wade at the end, over 10 seconds of celebrating before remembering that he had just fortuitously beaten the better player in de Zwaan. And once again the interview has left a lot to be desired, but I'm sure nothing will be done by the PDC!

Thought you'd pipe up.

How can he not be called out for yet more unsporting behaviour? Why does he get away with it time & time again?

Just been a part of an absolute Matchplay classic and he survives five missed match darts from the better player on the night, then behaves like he's won the whole thing screaming & shouting before his disgraceful interview! Has ruined a classic game once again!

This.

I like Wade but he acts the twat way too often these days.

He really gets to you hey.
Better player, Wade had better average, more 100's, more 180"s, better double percentage and highest out shot.
He done nothing wrong at the end, he celebrated with a roar to crowd, then in direction of opponent from 6ft away.
Remember De Zwaan had turned away, was at the table and only offered a handshake once Wade asked.

Dont let 'facts' change your mind though, carry on being bitter its fun.

Wade fan in defending Wade to the hilt shocker.

It's incredible, de Zwaan missed 3 match darts by the time Wade had his first and yet somehow he's not the better player?! Since when did the loser have to offer a handshake? Winner's responsibility in every sport in the world is to console opponent with "sorry" or "bad luck" or just a "that's the way it goes" kind of exchange, Wade offers and never has offered this. Such a shame he lets himself down.

I'd like to know how anyone can defend his comment of "I had to give it to him in his face", this is just about the most unsportsmanlike thing one can ever do. How would he like a limp, no-look handshake and to be told he was being shouted at deliberately?

Unless you call out behaviour like his, nothing will get done. Are you a Donald Trump fan by any chance? Oh, "it doesn't matter he's abusive to anyone that doesn't fit into his mould, you're all just cry babies, just move on and accept him". Re darts, do you like Wade and Price?

1. Donald Trump is a wally
2. I don’t mind Wade
3. Price losing any match is great. I can watch him more than when he first started playing on tv.
4. That doesn’t mean I like any of them

[BlueSpark]

Wife now asleep so Man v Food on
I gather MS slogged his way to a predictable win, thank god that’s over.

[foggs3355]

That was a right pasting Mensur win very easy

[BlueSpark]

Hope Beaton isn’t in a worse position than 6-4 behind at the 2nd break. Game over otherwise.

Wattimena is blaming Suljovic for his defeat. He's such a thick dumb ass

Pap from van Gerwen
Shame it’s Beaton really, most other players would have him under the cosh now
Obvs not Cullen or Wattimena

[BlueSpark]

Not a performance for the statisticians and anoraks to knock one out over that’s for sure

[Bram_1900]

I really can't see why Beaton is here at the WMP. He's consequently underperforming on television. All those darts in the single 1 and 5..
