What a sweet sport/game darts it’s. So pure always a coin flip. All These men and women are pros anything could happen at anytime. 95% of the time it’s just you vs the board vs the crowd/pressure/nerves. So perfect. Sometimes no matter how well u play your opponents are in the zone and can’t be rattled but it’s not usual. Never out of it u til last double pierces the cork
So good that young people are getting in to this sport. It's no longer a game for pissheads to play down at the Local. The skill required to play at this level is phenomenal. And how god is it that the ladies can match it with the men.
How does Whitlock even practice with how much his darts destroy the board. He has to spin his board and change the segments after every practice session. His darts even damaged the board even when it didn’t stick in the board. Crazy
Jesus christ Whitlock, I thought the Winmau boards were supposed to stand up better to your cheese-graters? At least the rest of the supply is safe now.
They do seem to hold up a little better, but no board can withstand points that aggressive. On the Unicorn boards there would be whole chunks of sisal coming out.
Liked Jansen showing some sand for that Double 11 finish! *edit* I realize had he missed inside, he all but surely has another match dart. So as a neophyte to pro darts, in Jansen's situation, do you pros go for an easy 6, than have at least two match darts should you miss inside on the double 8, or do you nut up and go double 11 like Jansen did? I guess either way it's a max of two match darts. Just curious for some feedback from the long time followers and players on this.
I can’t stand Stuart “he’s only got himself to blame” Pyke’s awful commentary. At one point the commentary was almost as exciting as the matches were, with the late Great Syd Waddell and John Gwyne. They were far better than the current repetitive dross Pyke comes out with 🎯👌🏻
Am I the only one who thinks Huw Ware is a bang average referee at best? I still don’t understand that why is he got the 4th referee spot instead of Paul Hinks. And I’m not homophobic, his counting is good, but the calls are just boring.
I like Whitlock a lot , but his opponents has always to throw their darts in a jungle ..the organization must be glad that he is out ..they don't have to change each time the dart boards ..
Glad the crowd were behind Gilding, about time he got some support him being a pretty "neutral" , drama free person, Owen....you need to humble yourself, sharpish.
@@benhunt345 I enjoyed Owen's demeanor. As long as you respect your opponent, IMHO, you have free reign to give back to the crowd as good as you get. Saw nothing wrong with Owen. Glad to see someone agrees with me on this. In my very brief time as a pro darts fan, it would seem to me Ally Pally aint the warmest of abodes to the pros from Wales.
Gilding - A man who hasn't brushed his teeth since he met the minions
Pdc is extremely happy with the exit of Whitlock. Saves them lots of money for new boards….
And the pdc are extremely happy nonces like you don’t make the decisions 🤡🤡

Amazing game i love it
love it too for those reasons

Well said!
Cork?? 😂
Good comeback from Jose
I bet nobody expected that after set 2…
Loved Jose's comeback. I like Simon Whitlock a lot, but those darts of his are a beastly menace!
Same, refreshing seeing different things not just the same people winning
@@stuffwithsoph8264 who’s “not just the same people”?
L Williams throw reminds of the way Ted Hankey held the dart it's almost identical
Hope that’s all he does like Ted The sex beast hanky
As long as he doesn't hold women in the same way as Ted then he'll be alright...
I don't know why but Jansen reminds me of a young Eric Bristow.
I thought that, but what a mullet!!
He does
Without the talent.
I thought the faces were pretty similar.
That 105 checkout at 2:14 from Gilding was crucial. A big moment which could have changed the complexion of the match if he missed 🎯
How does Whitlock even practice with how much his darts destroy the board. He has to spin his board and change the segments after every practice session. His darts even damaged the board even when it didn’t stick in the board. Crazy
He's probably got a set of the same darts with smooth points for practicing with.
Rumoer says that Whitlock does around 14 boards a week …🤣😂👍
He orders boards by the skid lol. Winmau’s best customer.
Why do you think his main sponsor is winmau? Man needs a constant resupply! He’s the reason they keep releasing updated versions! 😂
I actually asked him when i played him and he said its the board's are bad quality. And also yes he does use different darts for practice
Gilding looking like he bout to steal the moon

The first welsh player trying to copy Price's celebrations, then realising a riled up crowd doesn't help his game lol
very calm cool cat the Englishman love the passion of my welsh countryman
6:23 crazy
Takes me back to 1984
My Christmas Highlight
There should be a ban on rigid points, the damage they inflict on dartboards is barbaric.
Jansen's hair is fantastic, his darts are ok to.
He probably got forgotten in the 90s
I think the same for gilding
?
His darts were dreadful.🤣🤡
#LoveTheDarts
Them Whitlock points should be banned... there are plenty of points you can buy with more than enough grip, that don't destroy the board in 3 legs...
😭😭😭
Happy for goldfinger.
Owen and Nebrida put up good fights.. Lewy was unlucky with the 9.. and De Souza v Whitock was a belter! #LoveTheDarts 🎯
God dang it, Lewy… so close!
You know that Gilding used to smoke Silk Cut - you'll get it if you're old enough!
Owen did not deserve that from the crowd hate it when they start booing like that
He shouldn't wind them up.

It depends on what the player wants to do but usually you go straight for d11
@@David_dulkan14 Thanks for the reply! Merry Crimmus and Happy New Year to you and yours!
@@sickofitall8486 ☺️ and you
Why was the crowd so against Owen?
Why was the crowd so much against Owen?
Ol whitlock just come to destroy some boards.
If only Williams could have hit that Double 12 he would have won that match with perfection!!! It was so close but ultimately missed!!!
Cheers captain obvious
Why did the crowd bowing at Owen?
Because he tried to be a knock off gerwin price
Winmau must hate Whitlock
His nickname should be Dartboard destroyer.
9:59 a rare Kirk Bevin's mistake, calls 73 when it's 78
T20 T1 and 10 thats 73 not 78, he called it correctly
No, it was 73. T1, T20, S10. He was right.
@@yusufluhar5881 yeah it nipped the ten, I need kirks glasses it seems😂
Someone should have gone to Specsavers.... look at it again...... carefully.

what's wrong with that? I don't get why people dislike Pyke's commentary, yeah he isn't Sid Waddel but nobody is...don't see the issue
@@stuffwithsoph8264 occasionally people have different opinions 👍🏻
@@StuFlyboyReay it's one thing not to like somebody's commentary but "awful" is pretty harsh
Seeing everyone celebrate their leg or set, proves the iceman have set the standard
What’s with the welsh players celebrating every single trip to the board? 🙄
lol do they ever rotate the board?
They put a new one up every game. Whitlock just destroys it with his points
If someone left a golf course looking like that, they probably be sued..
Love how Whitlock is always last because he completly destroys the board with his darts :D
? He isn’t always last
They use different boards for every game
Amazon delivers but kane didn't
The way robert owen is throwing should be forbidden.
what the public has against Owen?
what is there to like about the guy?
He's Welsh. English crowds are racist against Welsh, Irish and Scots.
@@Felixzyy again a sucker
Can someone tell Stuart Pyke to put his teeth in when commentating? John Part a brilliant commentator though.
Whitlocks dart points should be banned,they destroy the board and may put off an opponent
Have a cry 😭
Why the board look like that?
Whitlock's homemade points... they would be banned if it was up to me.
Whitlocks darts really do ruin the board. How often does the board get changed out during these tournaments?
After each Set... when he plays.

I didn't even know he was gay....
Totally agree. I miss Paul Hinks, top quality ref!
A peanut 🥜 pusher
Nothing wrong with Simon Whitlocks darts
Nothing at all... but his points, thats a different story.
Has anyone told jansen it's not 1984 any more. Good player though
That was Andrew gilding the bald man from Massachusetts
I like Whitlock a lot , but his opponents has always to throw their darts in a jungle ..the organization must be glad that he is out ..they don't have to change each time the dart boards ..
They change the board after every match anyway
The crowd against Owen was disgusting , ref should have done something , and I don't even like the guy.
Idk why these filipino darts players are too impossible to win very difficult
?!
Is it just me or do the darts look computer generated?
It's you.
Whitlock should retire now. Heta is the only Aussie hope wee have.

yeah your daughter and wife in the crowd and you’re getting booed. but sure he should just keep quiet and not give the crowd any back.
