World Cup Of Darts

What a stupid rule that the pairings had to be declared BEFORE going for the bull!

I completely agree with Rod in that Kim HAD TO play two of the first three games...maybe the Belgians have blown their beans

Have Mardle and Rod finished making a meal of the analysis of losing three from four games yet?

Oh, apparently not.

Who has bull in what game?

Rod has the bull in every game. (not sure)

I think Taylor has the bull in game four, but not certain.

I think Ronny has the throw in both his. So I probably do agree with Rod actually, best off giving Kim bull in both and looking to take them in doubles with bull there too.

Are we ALL wanting the Belgians to beat these lucky fcukers?

If you give the bull away then England would get it in the doubles though.

and yes NG, I am at least.

If I had bet England I would gladly lose.

If they're right it's for the wrong reasons silverback.

i stopped listening when i decided to work it out myself without even knowing the rules

Got to be the ONLY country in the world where that would happen...I couldn't imagine a single Belgian wanting Taylor & Lewis to win this.

I dunno, Nicho plays for Australia ;)

I wonder if it's tactical genius on a par with Mervyn King giving Taylor the throw in that Premier League semi (first to 10, win by one is fine). King won of course.

I forgot about that one.

I think Belgium will sneak this in the doubles match.

Taylor & Lewis not getting on well

There wont be a doubles match I feel

Anyone reckon that Ronny Huybrechts has a slight look of Jon Voight?

Phil will be sitting at home later in the week thinking about how he did his country proud.... and we all want him to lose.

I don't know HTF they've made the final as South Africa, Japan & Wales ALL had darts to beat them...and should've done so!
It'd have been far more interesting if they'd bitten the dust...you just know they'll find their top game when there's a sniff of the trophy - even Lewis!

These guys couldn't miss a thing in the final match against Finland, now they're bottling it.

Did Japan have darts to beat them, or just a visit for a checkout?

I guess if you count the first game they did

1 minute Lewis not done a lot wrong in 1st leg and 30 secs later he has contributed to his own downfall?? make your mind up FFS

Site gone down for me thankfully. Losing too much as it is! :(

I might be mistaken Lori...was it darts to got 3-1 and then have the throw to win it?
I can't remember but they would've traded odds-on for sure.

Yeah, think it was what you said.

They traded about 1.85 I think.

I can confirm they did....

england a lay here. ronny isn't without a chance in the next here, and kim in the mood to do taylor if he remotely dips

Annoying that they'll take this as proof that the order was wrong, no matter what happens.

isn't it proof the order is right?

I think so personally

i.e. kim cannot be beaten by anyone ever regardless of throwing first or second.

Lewis playing utter shíte...Ronny (despite being crap against Taylor) knows he's gonna be playing a 'shell' of a player - it could be Taylor that needs a result against Kim to have the doubles shoot-out!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure their thinking would have been that he beats Lewis whatever happens, and as you said, you don't want Ronnie throwing in the last match.

i'm still not sure who chose what to be honest

we'll probably find out it means ronny has to chuck first every leg in the doubles

talking of which, has anyone ever switched throwing order at start of different legs? presumably you can.

Oh, Lewis does the bow to everyone, not just the Japs!

I don't think you can, but could be wrong.

Maybe confused because he was playing Kim

Lewis becoming the Barrie Bates (2010 version) of the WCOD 2013

lolol

I noticed the weird **** bow thing.

any reason that j a p is censored?

Betfair trying to nip something in the bud?

not nipped on my screen

4 stars for ****?

Apparnently so.

Flemish

Yep god knows why

play up ronny

Must be a fair age difference between these two

Please get a nine darter to shut Rod up

the brothers that is

Dont think anyone could argue the brothers have been the best team by a mile. Taylor's just completely carried Lewis all weekend and got away with people missing doubles to knock em out

20 yrs they said on friday Silver

didn't fancy that. great kill

Lewis looking 15 stone overweight and wearing the Arsenal kit. Surprised he's not been signed for the gunners tbh.

christ

ohhhhhh

at least we know he can't win this leg

Probably makes him evens for the leg.

How does Lewis drag darts like that out from nowhere?
Unbelievable

Like the MVG performance last month...from nowhere!

Still trying to work out how Winstanley hit a 9 darter whilst playing like Scott Mitchell

Not sure how hes found this from nowhere

remarkable

Cant miss the t20 somehow

They should have put Kim up against the 110 Lewis and Ronnie up against the 83 Lewis

i'm not sure any team / player has ever peeved me off quite as much in so many matches in the same tournament

Not hit a ton hardly all weekend and now hits 5 maxes in 6 legs

Honestly thought Ronny had him there

at 2v1 I thought he'd gone then hits 5 maxes in 3 legs

Lewis is just a fcukin' weirdo!

That performance in defeat against MVG was excellent (and showed loads of bottle) and that was after he'd played shíte in three games!

when belgium win this we'll be making comparisons between England and Kirk Shepherd's run to the world final

I don't understand how any neutrals in the audience can be cheering Taylor right now

Taylors that good that he basically won the tournament whilst carrying a 20st passenger

Gold medals? Is it the olympics???

taylor didnt even acknowledge lewis on stage

If I was Lewis I'd be embarrassed to celebrate

Medals, trophy and most important, the title of...

What about the fcukin' money?

If Lewis hadn't had that ridiculous surge I fancy Kim would have gone much closer. Can't imagine his emotions were much different to those punters like me who were on Belgium and starting to get excited.

Dunno if there is cash?

plenty of cash HH

Is there? wasnt sure simply cos they were playing for their country but Phil probably wouldnt have turned up otherwise

150k total prize fund i think

has Phil just gone home?

I like the way Kim effectively called Taylor "one of the best in the world"

ha ha

Lori - I think the Jáps were 2-0 up and sitting on 56 when Taylor smashed in a 160...talk about pivotal moments!

test

I watched the England/Wales doubles game again and Webster can clearly be heard saying '****s' as he was taking his darts out of the board - I don't think he was talking about Taylor & Lewis for a change, but probably a few gobshítes that had escaped from one of the Premier League venues.

In their defence, the German crowds are usually very respectful.

**** = tóssers

The extra singles matches gave England a big advantage in the final, and a shame the Huybrechts never got to play Taylor & Lewis in the pairs, for which i could have been swimming in belgium chocolate if they'd pulled it off!

P.S. Some of the odds in the early rounds i.e. the best of 9 legs doubles were crazy and i'd be amazed if anyone lost money on the overall tourney. Roll on the Premier League

P.P.S. Two horses never made it home today
