Have the Dutch players all been holed up together during this tournament?!?
First Barney tests positive for COVID, then Van Der Voort and now MVG.

Such a shame, you don’t want to win it like this, not if you’re proper anyway

Not sure about Barney but I think I heard on sky that MVG and VDV were having Christmas together here which they always do, so presume they’re house sharing

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone going Bull first when they have a 100+ score to win, and he’s done it twice!

It's more common that you think. Anything from 123 down means you still leave a two darter if you miss the first treble. I used to play county darts and there were quite a few that would always go bull first dart on a low ton plus finish. If you include the outer bull it's a much bigger target than going treble first. Obviously you don't see as much at the very top because their confidence to hit every treble first dart is a lot higher.

That was a hell of a match, and we still have Price v Smith to go!!

Hopefully Rydz can push on now and we see more of him in other tournaments. We’ve seen a fair few youngsters reach this round over the years, lose, then almost completely disappear.

I missed this evening, but just caught the highlights, amazing Smith, wow what a match that was!!! .. As much as I respect Price as a player im not a fan of him in general, really like Smith, such a top bloke. Im a big big fan of Peter Peter Wright, Peter Peter Wright!!!! Defo hope Smith smashes Wade, Wright v Smith will be an amazing Final , but much love for Anderson too, this is great tournament.... As Long as its not wade i dont mind either Wright Anderson or Smith winning, Anderson for nostalgia would be great, 3 of my fav players Wright, Anderson and Smith ????

Was watching this last night & I am soooooo jealous we have nothing like this in the US. Just incredible atmosphere & they feed off the energy. It all comes together for really fun entertainment. And for tuning in for the first time & seeing a 9 v 1 upset I am hooked. That was so fun.

I can’t help but shake the feeling that Smith is a bottle job. I hope I’m wrong in this semi
