Van Gerwen having trouble finishing out his legs. Taylor getting booed and jeered by the nordies. Vg just missed 5 match darts after being on a 9 darter after 6 darts.
Glasgow’s a right kip but they never fail to dish out an avalanche of abuse to the sex offender. Makes a pleasant change to the fawning that goes on elsewhere.
Large swathes of empty seats in the arena for this first semi-final between Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld.
Wayne Mardle in his pre-match preview gave Barneveld a great chance of winning as he beat Taylor in the league phase. Mardle then noted in his next sentence that Barneveld will have a psychological barrier to break as he hasn’t beaten Taylor on TV in his last 17 attempts.
Christ you’d miss Sid Waddell on commentary on this (his last match was one year ago tonight). Wayne Mardle’s commentaries are extremely offensive to my ears. John Gwynne better be on after the break.
