2023 PDC World Championship - Road to the Ally Pally

[devosteve]

Well the crowd are with Smith.

But a good 1st set for MVG.

All the pundits going for MVG.

[ssjsa]

Aspinall and Rock shouldn't be in the PL. Humphries probably deserves it given he's won four Euros this year but as always it'll be whoever the PDC wants (whatever bollocks they spout about Sky). Wouldn't be surprised if Barney is in.

In recent times its been all about who wins big tournaments hasn't it?

No doubt the goalposts are about to be moved due to some of the lads that have won tin pots.

The goalposts don't move. The Top 4 in the OOM qualify, the rest of the places are invites at the discretion of the PDC.

Wonder if the crowd will play a part tonight.

2 legs in.

It's the weak link in the PDC product. Now the chanting as MVG went for the double didn't stop him winning but if the PDC could some how sort out this negative aspects of the crowd then we would have near enough the perfect product.

That was brilliant!

It IS the PDC product.

Lovely.

1-1. Great set.

I know folk have said a sub standard tournament this year but what a great final.

And the best leg of darts ever? Hard to argue with that. Superb TV viewing.

Game on!

[Rout]

I dunno if anyone has ever hit a 9 when they have thrown first, with their opponent sat on 141 (or 144 etc) themselves?

Technically that would be a better leg as nobody has missed anything.

[TheVillan]

"I can't speak, I can't speak."

We fucking wish Wayne.

[devosteve]

And after that great leg of darts we start with boring tables! Get a grip and watch the game.

I've not ever seen a leg like that. Brilliant stuff.

I know you don't get to watch often, but are you taking the piss?

Let him be. It's the first WC final he's watched this century. It's changed since 1993, to be fair to him.

2-1 Smith.

He needed that. Let's see how MVG responds.

He's not fininiyas some have said though!

The perfect product. Can't enjoy it most of the time. But perfect nonetheless.

[ChrisW]

Perfect product for radio

Perfect product for radio

Radio: over rated. That's yesterday's news.

2-2. Enjoyable game. A nice 90 c/o for MVG was good.

If it's been a poor tournament then this final will make up for it? Or not?

It's already making up for it. So yes.
