2010 StanJames.com World Matchplay - Day 3

[Paddy McGinty]

I thought the first leg was very intresting.

King left on 80 and went T20 instead of T16.

He took it out too.

They say how professional he is - that proves it to me.

Why would anyone ever go T16 from 80? Unless D16 is the only double in your book surely it's just silly?

I agree, what if he hit a 16 with his first dart, he'd have to go either 14 bull, or try to hit another treble to leave himself a double, a foolish way to go for 80.

i know taylor is the greatest dart player ever, but sky, especially sid waddell are obsessed!
sid ruins commentary, for me anyway, on other players by his constant name dropping.
get a grip sky, it takes a whole set of players to make a great tournament

The sooner Sid goes the better, maybe we could package him off to the US as a gift

He'd do well over there.

The US would send him off to Guantanimo for use as a form of torture. Having to listen to hour after hour of his silly drivel................ :MNNN:

i'm suprised you can understand him druid
he talks in riddles, but every now an again he comes out with a classic that makes me smile

[druid]

Unfortunately, the gems have become too far in between. There was a time I loved listening to him....but no more. Why are you surprised I can understand him?

because a lot of us on here can't understand him, especially when he goes off on one
maybe you can translate for me

[Gringo]

Klaasen using new darts tonight, surprised nobody noticed/mentioned it (especially olly )

[druid]

I never did understand the "thrutch" he talked about when observing Kirk Shepards throwing action....another one of his made up terms. Cant find the right word....make one up

our sid has a language all of his own
but i suppose he is a darting legend, and has lots of fans!

Agreed, Sid was awful tonight.
"Eccles will not leave with many shekels"
"The Viper is getting his windshield wiped"
He actually apologised for that last one...

[xtreme rebel]

Great night at the Winter Gardens tonight. Brilliant that Steve Brown won. Jenkins way out of form and over-weight. Clinical performances from Anderson & Whitlock, while Klaasen was breathtaking at time. All 4 Dutch players have made it through - 3 of them were qualifiers!

12 Round 1 games so far and by my counting we've lost 7 seeds - Lewis, Hamilton, Osborne, Priestley, Thornton, Jenkins & King. All of those 7 had serious Premier League qualification hopes going into this event!

oh dont worry, i noticed........just decided to take my anarach off this week

seem to be a longer and thinner version of his old ones with les of a real change in thickness in the middle, where as his old ones were nose heavy.........look what youve gone and done......my anarach is back on now!

working a treat so far and klaasen vs anderson will be a cracker..

[armchairfan]

Any averages in for tonights games?

Terry Jenkins (88.57) 6-10 Steve Brown (87.45 - 2nd worst average so far)
Simon Whitlock (94.86) 10-1 Tony Eccles (88.85)
Robert Thornton (92.79) 0-10 Gary Anderson (98.24)
Mervyn King (93.26) 4-10 Jelle Klaasen (94.15)

Tournament Average: 90.34

[jointer]

first bristow now harrington having a pop at jenkins

[Mike]

Glad Steve won tonight. His first big win, and you could see the nerves.

Averages may be lower than usual, but you have to start somewhere.

Quite a few missed double bringing the average down somewhat.

Can kick on from here.

Go-on my son.

[OllyNufc180]

with all of stompes misses doubles in his game last night surely his 90 average would have been 95 ish if the doubles had been to usual standard

[GtotheF]

Jelle Klaasen - take a bow sir.

Anderson owes Jelle one after his shocker at the Players Champs.

Yep and me Lisa but sadly they are getting to be years apart now.

Sid = Mute Button in my house.
