Oh wisht
Woeful last few legs full of no treble visits.
Bully Boy is doing a Bully Boy. Heโs bullying himself into losing another final.
Both players nervous as kittens here. 9-9 and both players might as well call 999.
Smith misses bullseye. Noppert hits double 4 with crowd jeering.
Decider. I fancy Noppert.
Noppert breaks throw to win the decider. Classic Smith. The most classic Smith final performance.
What a joke of a tournament, Noppert FFS. Smith is disgusted with himself and rightly so, lost to a shit player who was averaging in the mid 80s.
Bully boy is the Jimmy white of darts, the poor fucker has some mental block
Noppert won with 84.82 in the final
Robert Thornton had higher than that in the senior worlds a few weeks back
Donโt major winners automatically get into premier league? Imagine Noppert in premier league. Smith is some bottler.
Was the assumed position before this year.
I like the UK Open
Peter Wright is the number #1.
Van Gerwen is down to 5.
Willie Connors is up 3 to 34.
Keane Barry is up 14 to 52.
Smith finds a way to lose these types of matches. The longer it goes on the harder it with be to break.
He is the modern day Terry Jenkins.
As an aside, Smith seems to think he has the right to win the World Championship.
It would be more in his line to win a few other tournaments first rather than setting his sights on the big one.
At the moment the likes of Wright and Price are miles ahead of him. They have been there and done it. Smith can beat anyone on his day but his career so far does not make good reading for someone with such big ambitions.
Harsh on Gezza. Heโs slowing starting a revolution in darts. Similar to Arsene Wenger in English football - demanding pasta and little alcohol instead of a Chinese after a heap of pints.
