DomDom Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Right, with that out of the way, lets make like Eminem and Get Down To Business. KEVIN PAINTER 6-5 ALEX ROY It recently occured to me that Kevin Painter really needs his own entrance music. I Predict a Riot seems to be the generic walk on music for people who don't have any. 18:33 : Steady scoring from both Painter, but his missing the doubles is going to cost him if he doesn't pull it together. Roy is looking good on the doubles and when the treble 20 at the end went in, I knew he was going to finish the leg off. This is far from being over of course. 18:51 : What a comeback that was. Absolutely sensational finishing there from Painter. Look at the high checkouts throughout that 11 leg match ! More than half of them didn't even require more than two darts at a double. That is pretty great. Credit to Alex Roy, but he really should have put away Painter there. Still, a fun match, and the best of the day so far. I'll keep a mark of high checkouts as well. Painter : 65, 48, 105 Orton : 56, 100, 114 ALAN TABERN 6-3 ADRIAN LEWIS 19:14 : Adrian Lewis is absolutely shocking here. Did you hear what that average was ? That is simply not good enough. Tabern is both scoring well and clinical on the doubles while Lewis is sweating more water than you can fill a bucket with. I can only see one winner here. 19:25 : He sure made quick work of that one in the end, didn't he ? The most impressive and professional performance of the day so far. Adrian Lewis just wasn't at the races tonight, and the result is probably being very flattering to how he played. A couple of cracking finishers in there though, so credit to him for that. Saint : 121, 110 Jackpot : 64, 121 PETER MANLEY 2-6 ANDY HAMILTON 19:51 : Commentators made a great point on the 132 finish from Hamilton in the 4th leg. Why go for the first bull if you're going to bottle out of the finish when you hit treble 19 ? Anyways, another case of a player not being at the races, and this time it's Manley, and Hamilton doesn't even have to be great right now, but he's playing pretty well. 20:02 : That was pretty unspectacular stuff there from Hamilton, and he did what he had to do to win. One Dart : 101 Hammer : 44 JAMES WADE 6-2 STEVE BEATON 20:24 : Oh James Wade, how I've missed you. The match has been a good standard with both guys playing some good darts. Whenever I've seen Beaton, he hasn't been as good as this. I'd have been less surprised if Wade was winning because Beaton wasn't playing very well. Ah well, good finishing and scoring ensure that Wade is in front. Although his confidence seemed to take a knock from the 106 checkout from Beaton. More of the same in the next half please James ! 20:34 : Not quite as good as Tabern was earlier, but Wade was still terrific here, and Beaton wasn't playing that badly either. He was just completely outclassed by the much better player. This man is the #2 in the world for a good reason. The Machine : 54, 126 Magnum-PI : 106 ROBERT THORNTON 2-3 MARK DUDBRIDGE The Thorn : 60 Flash : 52 Edited January 30, 2009 by DomDom 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTJ Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 He should of used his new tune though as voices is a great song His new entrance music is rubbish, I liked the old one, not sure if its right for darts though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I love "Voices" quite a lot myself. It took a while to grow on me as I was used to his old music, but I think, now more than ever, it suits him down to the ground. I'd use Kurt Angle's old music as my walk on music. Well, I've actually already decided on Scary Kids Scaring Kids - What's Up Now ? ... if I ever make it of course. BIG if. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedWeb Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Great last leg from Rab Thornton but he needs to work on his doubles...almost as bad as Gary Anderson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTJ Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 A pretty sluggish match for the most part I thought but I enjoyed the last 3 or so legs. Feared the worst for Thornton after the first leg he looked so sloppy then, but glad he dug deep enough for the win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTJ Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Great last leg from Rab Thornton but he needs to work on his doubles...almost as bad as Gary Anderson If Robert could hit doubles he'd be up there in the top 5 IMO, unfortunately though his doubles are absolutely rotten. He'll either hit the double first time or miss 20 darts at it, with the latter being more likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTJ Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) I hate how Mighty Mike keeps drawing Taylor early in the major tournaments so often. Why can't the fucking draw ever pair him with a shitey seed like Peter Manley or someone like that? Also the female talent on show is getting better all the time at the darts.

RedWeb Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Decent effort from Van Gerwen...probably the best I've seen him play for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Finally got my connection back, meaning I missed Taylor. Any good big finishes ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTJ Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Finally got my connection back, meaning I missed Taylor.Any good big finishes ? Taylor took out a couple of finishes in the 130's IIRC, but not much else to report, MVG played decent-ish but as usual not enough to beat Taylor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 There's the guy that shouldn't be in the PL. #7 in the world and that was a reason why. Terrific darts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Only just caught up with the results from yesterday - couldn't see one bit of the action thanks to work. Still, most matches went to form and I'm looking forward to the Quarter Finals tonight as that's the first session I'll be able to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Robert Thornton was lethal in that match against Alan Tabern, winning 6-2 as a result. His finishing was excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 How great was that ? Priestley comes back from 5-0 and then doesn't miss a double and actually wins. The fact that it was John Part that got beaten was a nice bonus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTJ Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I don't think Robert has played the way he can at times the last two days, but great for him to get this far and anything is a bonus for him now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Thornton has been absolutely fine. James Wade has been brilliant. 167 checkout as I type that. This is absolutely brilliant. Something has pumped him up. No pun intended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
