Why would you not go double, double if you block the treble with the first dart?Tommy Thompson wrote:I don't know either player, but probably I am one of the old school if you want respect you have to give respect, what is the point in 56, double 18 and double 10, (if that is the case) could you see someone like Taylor doing that, I don't think so, and what if he did, how would that go down with everyone and to be honest he is a player who could do this on loads of occassions as many times he is in a position of being well ahead. Completely out of order, doesn't deserve being attacked probably best action is to completely ignore the man, by all his fellow professionals. Always remember what goes around comes around.

Situations dictate the approach i take Dave.
96 left, 5-1 up, pro tour event (unlikely scenario already) but. S20, if T20 is blocked, with my opp on 270, im setting myself up for either D18 net visit or D20.
5-5, 96 left, im attacking d18 2nd dart to leave tops.
I read elsewhere he had 56 left with 3 darts in his hand, possibly lies, but at no stage am i trying double double here. All about the dynamics of the game im in at that time.
Re: Bit of bovver in Germany?
When I was on 80 against Redman I went D20 D20 with my first two darts.
They both missed.
By a long way.

Re: Bit of bovver in Germany?
I hit 100 once in a k/o with the first 20 blocking the treble so as soft as I am I asked the bloke if he minded me trying 2 doubles.
He was a fair bit bigger than me though so when I hit it I was glad I asked

Re: Bit of bovver in Germany?
With 96 left and the first dart covering the T20. Personally I see nothing wrong going D18 & D20 regardless of what you opponent is on if you feel confident going for the shot.Dicie wrote:spaceman70 wrote:Why would you not go double, double if you block the treble with the first dart?Tommy Thompson wrote:I don't know either player, but probably I am one of the old school if you want respect you have to give respect, what is the point in 56, double 18 and double 10, (if that is the case) could you see someone like Taylor doing that, I don't think so, and what if he did, how would that go down with everyone and to be honest he is a player who could do this on loads of occassions as many times he is in a position of being well ahead.

Just my personal opinion though.
Re: Bit of bovver in Germany?
What if player doing thumping had tried something similar earlier in match and failed.

Re: Bit of bovver in Germany?
Has anyone even considered that if bomber had 56 left with 2 darts after hitting the big 20 that with the way he plays on differend doubles anyway his thinking might have been s18 d19 had he not gone in the d18?? You only had to watch him for a few legs in the WGP to see he has quite a varied and weird choice of doubles!!

Re: Bit of bovver in Germany?
The way Taylor refuses the bull with his opponent on a finish is worst in my opinion but sometimes it works for him other times it don't.

Re: Bit of bovver in Germany?
Double 18 and double 10 for 56 is a p1ss take sure, but the only way to even the score is to try something similar the next time you play him. Not fisty cuffs!!

Re: Bit of bovver in Germany?
Anyway no excuse for fighting or a slap as I heard, three darts would be s20 d18 double 10 =76, I just heard the last two darts double double, but it is only my opinion, each to their own, however still think lack of respect.
Re: Bit of bovver in Germany?
I've known Steve a long time and he ALWAYS goes D18 Dtop when left with 76 with 2 OR 3 darts left, thats just the way Steve feels confident going, taking the p1ss, NO WAY. I go tops tops on 80 a majority of the time, incl a league singles semi last thurs, and a captain AND players of a super league team got really funny about it and not in a nice way either,when I went for tops tops in a SL match. A lot of players have their OWN ideas about checkout's and in no way r any of them taking the p155.

Re: Bit of bovver in Germany?
I had 92 left last night, Blocked the treble 20 and felt more confident going D18 D18 then going for a treble 12.
It paid off, The player I played congratulated me on a good shot and carried on. Everything on the board is there to be hit !!!
