The Naitch Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Dudbridge apparently has a shoulder problem as well.I'm on Jones here at 11/8 and Lloyd is certainly there for the taking if only Jones could finish. Took out the D18 there to bring it back to 3-2 so hopefully he is over his double trouble. He's not really showing the effects of it - giving King a really good game here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 This has been match of the night. Stompe vs. Lewis was a not bad match too, but the crowd are MENTAL for this which is helping and some of the darts has been terrific. Really enjoyable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Can't make it to the glamour friendly against FC Unirea so will console myself with a cracking night of darts. Here's how they line up and how I think they'll go... Kevin Painter 10-5 Wes Newton Colin Osborne 10-7 Steve Beaton Phil Taylor 10-3 Robert Thornton Wayne Mardle 12-10 Tony Eccles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect all the seeds to go through tonight. Even Mardle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Topsy-turvy contest so far. Painter raced into a 7-0 lead but Wes has pegged it back to 7-3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I hope Thornton makes a game of it but in reality Taylor could take him 10-0 the way both have been playing on TV. Was reading a bit on another forum that Thornton has picked up recently in a few events but you can't see past a comfortable Power victory here. Waiting on Osborne tonight and Anderson/Klaassen tomorrow for a first round acca which started with Lewis last night. No bets tonight but I quite fancy Eccles, who is even money, against Mardle. So long as he doesn't swallow his darts with that really strange throw! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Another couple of points. Kevin Painter is a really likeable player and comes across really well on interviews. Hells Bells is looking fucking tidy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hells Bells is looking fucking tidy. Yep, he does indeed. He's packing plenty of ability as well, should have reached more TV finals than he has. Osborne clinical as ever so far against The Adonis, don't hold out much hope now for the former World Champ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad to be proven wrong. Beaton is 5-4 up after a bull checkout breaks the throw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Now 8-5 to Beaton against an off-colour Osborne. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Frankly stunningly consistent scoring from Beaton throughout the match, pity his doubling hasn't matched up to it. Still, he's now on the hill and throwing for the match. EDIT: He then starts the next leg with a 41...

Neilly Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Although it's fucked my bet it's good to see Beaton playing well. He was hitting the treble so sweetly but the doubling was pretty awful. No reason why he can't take out King in the next round though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Great showing from Steve Beaton, good to see that he's transferred his consistent floor tournament form to the telly. Two 1st round exits in a row for Osborne now, lot of thinking time for him between now and the next major in October. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The 10-0 is on. Thornton's finishing on TV since he came over to the PDC has been absolutely stinking and it's more of the same tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Taylor always has at least one dodgy game in each tournament and this looks like being it. Thornton, though, is in no position to pressure The Power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Sadly for the rest of the field I can't see the Power playing that badly again in the tournament that's the worst I've seen him for a while. He was there for the taking tonight just a pity his opponent was hopeless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Mardle currently 7-1 up on Tony Eccles and looks like seeing The Viper off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Going to miss most of tonight's action thanks to work, so here's my early bird predictions... Andy Hamilton 8-10 Gary Anderson John Part 10-6 Vincent van der Voort James Wade 10-5 Jamie Caven Ronnie Baxter 10-7 Jelle Klaasen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got that right. Scoring from Thornton was fine but his finishing was a joke. In the last leg he had a chance to break throw for 5-9 and who knows. However, with 80 on the board and three darts in his hand he hit 1 with the first....simply pathetic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I can see Thornton slipping well down the rankings ala Manley if he doesn't get his act together as there are loads of other players now coming through who are playing far better than him. Shame really as what he done in his first year was fantastic. Looking forward to tonight's action with some tasty games as usual. I hope Caven can put on another decent performance and if it's not the real James Wade that turns up then who knows? 5/1 could be worth a nibble on Caven. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
