World Championship 2023

Lovely stuff

Price was gone from start of 5th set at 1-3 sadly

Absolute trash last two sets

Well done Clemens and backers

MVG must be thinking this is title number 4 though

Although for neutral purposes Dobey winninf would make it very interesting semi and final

Smith has baggage now, others dont

Not sure I agree with Wayne's interpretation of that.  That's just going to make them do it even more, surely?!  Like a red rag to a bull!

100% Lat. It's like a teacher losing their cool, once the kids know how to get under their skin, it's game on !

That's how I see it!

Oh the school days when you had the teacher you knew would squirm It was so much anticipation running to that lesson with everyone looking forward to some “sledging”

Price will be blubbing about his mental health on another youtube podcast soon dont worry, the media will pick up how mean those men in the crowd are to him .

Hes made a rod for his own back there,, the blokes (And women as well) who attend these events arent the liberal media influencers , Pricey

You aint going to shut them up now, but esp now they know your a soft one mentally. Should have kept it toned down shouldnt he, call the crowd muppets and m0rons was always going to motivate them further.

Gerwyn saying he might never play in this event again

Aye course he wont

Im waiting for the “i sobbed” mental health breakdown next

They all love throwing that one out there. He was trying to be clever with the headphones and it backfired. He cant work the crowd thats his problem, he only antagonises them

I dont think theres been a worse semifinalist than van den bergh

That was absolutely pitiful

I think he won about 4 legs ffs

Take the mic and tell everyone how great you are now

Oh lord

Great for outrights though

Backed at 2.6 now sub 1.4 for the final

Would love to see Smith win one but MVG in this form he has little chance

Took 11-4 for MVG to win the tournament and it is his to loose and anything over 100 average will do.Good Luck

Any links gents

Sportcast is ok but dunno how far behind it is probably a whole set

Stuck out till 9.30

I'm on Smith, definitely can do it but MVG been imperious so far. Smith will need his Mervyn A game, for sure.

Should be a cracker.

Best of thirteen could be a long night though.

Feels done already

Smith left for dead needing ton+ finishes on his own throw

Both on nines!

Ouch MVG

Wow. Bully boy.

wowowowowow

Superb

Amazing scenes

that really was out of this world, £12k 1.11 done before the final

Could be another before the night is out.

Bully boy really up for this barely celebrated the nine

Anyone know the record for the most 180s in a final? Could be broken if this goes all the way.

Smith is a proper bottler sorry

Will never win a world

Can he push on or will he bottle it again

27 180s

Must be getting close

I would love him to do it from here he deserves one

But his ar3e will probably go

MvG just beat a couple of muppets and some had him down as the new messiah.

Right then Smith 2 set lead...

Hes got him on wrack finish him off son

going pretty well so far

14 sets in a row takes some doing n88 to be fair

What has happened to this forum? Gone are the days of hundreds and hundreds of posts on this fantastic sporting event. I had so many laughs on here I looked forward to it as much as the darts. As an aside, I’m on Michael Smith at an average of just over8’s.

And I haven’t laid it off………come on Bully Boy

Its sad pauliow

The forum is totally dead

Theyve banned pretty much everyone why they dont just close the place down I dont know

Your bet is looking solid, Paul. A great performance so far from him.

Beautiful final wouldn't you say so far Angie?

Smith actually bullying MVG on the scoring for much of the evening so far.

Is wisewords still on here SS?

Dont think so paul

Most are banned the rest probably just cant be bothered anymore

One wrong opinion is a hammer nowadays sadly so they probably think feck that

Wisewords posts on the horse racing forum still.

Ah ok thanks SS. Used to enjoy the days of WW, Grant, Bhoys, Happyhibbee etc. I rarely come on these days as I don’t bet too much anymore

Cheers ken i dont post on there much

Surely wven Smith cant bottle this ...

Been a great final, 1 leg  17 perfect darts out of 18.

Smith deserves it from here

Had a chance there

6-4

Squeaky bum time

Who else misses the walk on girls?

Me paul

The dance girls look rough

Still im not picky id still accept if offered

The walk-on babes were awesome

Whoever wins from now I will be happy for smith if he goes on to win.

The Smith Choke is well underway

That’s better

Wow

Smith wins!

wow, got a huge MVG lay at odds on there

held his nerves well there in the end

Some comeback that.  He was totally gone in that set at one point.

Fantastic Stuff

What a double 7 the leg before

Great game.

Pleased for him it was about time ffs

MVG was well and try beaten from 3-2

Well done Smith backers

MVG drank too much?

Get in Bully Boy

WP Bully Boy.  Deserved the win

Paul.

Fully deserved. WP Bully Boy

Hes lost so many major finals he was numb in the end

6-4 down and odds on is certainly an interesting take by the market there !

Same road as Wright in the end, took the licks came back for more fair play to him the man

I do think MVG overdid it on the booze.

Fully deserved win

Think that's why paul and I liked him at the start. MVG went off the boil too which was required.

MVG now lost his last two... getting a reputation as a runner up

Wow didn’t see that.

Well done bully boy and all the backers.Some you win some you lose.

This lad has deserved this, one of the best talents we have seen for years. Can see him getting another couple now.

Agreed phenomenal talent

Angela

Aye you cant not be happy for him there, went to the family first says a lot about him,

Think my friends have backed him outright 3 times on my advice, they didn't bother this time but thankfully got the final odds and handicap odds.

Absolutely sloshed.

Lovely fella, good to see

See you all next year folks

All set for the BDO WC now.  When does it start?

It’s funny you mention MVG overdid the booze. I went to watch a mate play an exhibition tournament at Coalville several years ago (ironically all our favourite walk on girls were there too). I fancied a bit a of coke so asked my mate who I could get it off. He said MVG has probably got more on him that anybody else there!

Fantastic win for Smith, it really was great to see, and he's got a nice down to earth family. I'm thrilled for them.

I'm sure that most of the darts forum cognoscenti will like myself be grieving that January will no longer be a time when we hear the comforting sound of "THUD THUD THUD 140 - Check - 26".
