Show More
Kings a big Baby and got what he deserved, seen it so many times, you reap what you sow
dont blame king, bunch of simpletons in the crowd spoilt the match
to be truthfull ive only been watching it with sound down as i was watching x factor (we have knock thru lounge where i have tv/ pc.been keeping eye on match , didnt look great standard, wsas with king till 3-0 by which time it didnt really matter eithe ay financially.kings just lost his last final id guess.
Wade, Lewis and Taylor all faced far partisan crowds than that and won, just another excuse from him whn his Head goes, best Player won.
whether they won or not isnt point though richyH
Its just poor
Its just poor
brilliant finish. keeps this up for the next 2 months and the PL will come knocking.
MVG said it himself: "Without them, I wouldn't win."
there seems to be some suggestion the crow got at king , well so be it , you have to get use to the fact a bunch of p9ssed up thick idiots will ct in that way.
I agree but it's pretty much the norm for any PDC Tournament, King brings a lot of it on himself.He played 2 maybe 3 good sets of Darts, not enough at this level.
So come on Sky 'experts', let us know how MVG has turned the corner this year.
Let's play all PDC tournaments in padded rooms with no crowd.
what happens with most 180s market with it being a draw? all stakes lost i'm guessing?
I'd be raging if I got a cheque for £40,000 having played pretty rotten
sky done loads for the game but at times are a fcking disgrace.
Squinty clark is the ulimate YES man.

All stakes go to a Sir Jimmy Fiddler nominated charity I guess.
Funny how the crowd only gets mentioned when he starts to play poor, he was 4-1 up and crusing then his level dropped.He couldn't pick his level up, it's easy to blame the crowd.
not very generrous i defeat even if he does feel that way. u must remember thses crowds dont care what standard of darts hey watch, they just want to screasm n get pie eyed , it wont everr change all the time booze is served and booze will always be serrved.that said i only watch 4 sets with the volume up and there want any realevidence of the crowd puting one layer off .
as my da would say they ASK SOME STUPID questions. how do u think he feels u mug 3-0 up and crowd going mad. pri ck clark and i had no bet
Chokes and blame the crowd. It's textbook Merv.
If the crowd are that much of a problem, suck it up, give a good speech, kiss their arse and change opinions. Instead he makes it 10 times worse for next time, I know it cant be easy, the crowd can be morons but he needs to look at himself to.

It's a real shame that Phil wasn't there to give Merv a richly-deserved friendly pat on the head like at Wolver a few years back.

The players can't have it both ways.
If you want to play for decent money you have got to get the paying punters in. If that means copious amounts of alcohol and a bit of pantomime then so be it. The alternative is to make every venue alcohol free and play in silence. Unfortunately the crowd will then be much smaller and will certainly not be paying £50 a head. Kings purse would then be nearer £4k rather than £40k.

^^^^^^^ what a load of ####.
The crowd affected him. They have to remember there is £60K at stake.

King better going back to the BDO. If he feels the way he does, and keeps moaning about the crowds, it will only get worse. Sure he did not moan
about the crowds' at the BDO as much.

cool, unless a tie was quoted it's deffo a deat heat
It's 60k for a reason, the fans, can't have it both ways.How much will the winner of this BDO final walk away with?
Banned_Banks: Agree but Barry Hearn has to take the credit here. It is him who has increased the prize money. Yes yes yes we all pay a little, BUT the major chunk comes from the sponsors.
merv (bless him) doesnt understand that the darts doesnt really mater to the crowd, if he tyhought that wa niosy wait till they run out of larger one night

Spillsy knows what he's talking about to be fair. He's been on the receiving end of crowd abuse himself, during his 5 year reign as PG Tips Desert Classic winner in Runcorn. All sorts were giving him vile abuse. One of the PG Tips chimps even jumped onto the stage and pulled his trousers down while he was trying for a 9 darter (was throwing 1st dart of the leg at the time). How sick was that?
The sponsors put the Money in because of the Viewing Fiqures and attendances so that's a point doesn't make any sense.
when that swedish player got continul barraking from the crowd whilst the other guy was treated with respect during a match lst year was jut the thin end of the wedge , it will get worse(i can only do so). i dont se any answer to i.
They all deserve locking up for not recycling those wet teabags in the local authority provided compost recycling bins
Its to do with VIEWING figures sponsorship. (not the crowd) OK it plays a small part.
After football - Sky's next highest rated sport is DARTS. (not rocket science)
yes magnus caris. they crowd just totaly ransacked his chances in a match he ws going t win easily ,

I don't disagree however without the crowds making the atmosphere Sky would not have as strong a product and sponsors would not be as willing to pay top price.

Oh well, at least I layed Caris at 1.0x so all's well that ends well.
Sorry for aftertiming btw

unless its Lord Phil getting stick then brown nose davie clark and the rest of the sky gravy train comms dont give a sh1t.
Would the viewing figures be so high if their was 2 Men and a Dog watching alongside the Players Families and Friends??Somehow I don't think so. Please don't go throwing insults about because your Man lost.
Forget the crowd - THE PLAYERS make the sport. They deserve the credit for getting the sport where it is.
RichyH - have you played darts on a stage? (Even at County level)
Ok. I wont say anymore on it. Sorry for the seethe, just didnt seem right that tonight.
Was biggest game in both players career. For me both deserved a fair chance with the crowd and not all that nonsense.

The Players make the Sport, that is absoulte bollocks, if nobody watched Darts the Players would be playing in the Pub.
Oh sorry - if there were no players - WHO would the crowd watch?????????? EH!!!!!!!!
summed up nicely steptoe but IT WONT EVER happen . it wil get worse and worse.as i said financially it made next to no difference to me but personally id rather watch both playerrs playing well.
Darts finla on ESPN right now !! whats the score? Bunting is 1/2

no it wasn't, but your point is spot on

ok NS, fair point. Kings world finals at lakeside bigger. You get my point though
Everyone agree's that Player's shouldn't be heckled while throwing, I was at one of the worst atmosphere's that Darts has seen in recent years and have swore I wouldn't go back as it's full of Drunks not giving Players any respect.How the PDC combat that who knows but I have the feeling Sky would rather it was like that.
ted would never have got through 10 sets tonight 
I think they's have to stage Ted vs Merv as a simulcast. One player throwing in a Staffordshire library, specially closed for the day, and the other in a shed somewhere in East Anglia.
merv "i'd rather give up darts than join the pdc' king
vs
ted 'if that's what you call darts you can keep it' hankey
Even Neil Armstrong couldn't top those immortal quotes.
Does King not wear ear plugs to drown out the noise of the crowd? Or was the noise so bad he could hear it through the plugs?
He must of worn them out for his semi final against Dolan when he was getting proper heckled but he won that so the crowd weren't a factor.
king came across as bad loser and least say well done to the winner who won his first tv title.
King never loses a game fair and square, their is always an excuse.He was moaning about the Lakeside crowd about 5 years ago.
On another note Bunting would be a good addition to the PDC.

The crowd last night were absolutely disgraceful. What ever happened to the referee saying "best of order" and "Please do not shout out while the players are throwing". Could you imagine this behaviour at Wimbledon or at a Snooker match. They would quickly be thrown out.
