Sorry Sid was talking about the Stompe/King match there.
Class entrance music by Dolan, the dropkick murphys shipping up to boston.
4-2 Stompe.
Does this Dolan fella consider himself an Irishman or a Brit? Heās from Fermanagh so i donāt know. Iāll hold off rooting for him until i know whichā¦
Some start from Barney.
Iām a Barney fan and always root for him regardless. In and out watching this, trying to grill a few bits in the other room. Iām starving now, all I have is waffles and nuggets though, Iād love a steak dinner now.
The tits on some of those walk on birds are amazing.
Barney looked fair disillusioned walking off the stage after the first set. Youād wonder if he even wants to make the final as he knows Taylor will probably hand his arse to him again.
But this will be a procession.
Barney looks like he has a few mental issues
Barney got a 9 darter there, I fooking missed it, was in the other room.
Fair play to him.
Ah balls, I missed it as well as I switched off. :mad: At least I saw the one last year live.
Saw it there, class to watch.
Baxter has an awful awkward looking grip.
What a finish there, superb.
This one is slipping away from Anderson already. Heās far too flaky in the vital legs. Lets the occasion get to him, itās always a problem with him. Baxter far more solid. 15/8 was lunacy from the bookies.
Anderson would beat anyone if twas played behind closed doors.
The stage and the spotlight is a huge factor. Baxter looks totally at home. He knows and likes the stage, he was involved in the best match of last yearās tournament against Barney on it. I know Anderson won the two Dutch BDO majors in 2007 and has beaten Taylor but heās never convinced me that he can transfer it to the really big time.
Easy money
That was utter class from Baxter, ruthless finishing. Didnāt do anything at the World Championship for years on end after reaching two Embassy finals in '99 and 2000 heās come back with a bang over the last year. Should take Lloyd in the last 16 now.
Painter is a whopping 9/4 to beat Barney who despite getting a 9darter is playing shite, his average was 89 tonight. Painter is playing well too, the price is great value.
