OK - so yes there are many many open championships, but the “real” one still remains to be the Embassy at Lakeside.
Its still a shame I feel that we have two associations, we’ll never get to see Phil Taylor play “barney”.
Big shocker for me last night though was Co Stompe going out so darn early, he played carp IMO.
Anyone else keeping up with the action ???
here is a good enough place to start
DT.
trying to stay awake some nights to watch it.
I see Man Mountain (aka Andy Fordham) was on form last night!
Can’t remember the other match… some foreigner (finnish?) and an outsider… great match 
here’s to caffeine :cheers:
Been catching the afternoon repeats, Barney still looks good, Andy Fordham was very impressive as was Richie Davies (think that’s his name - should know it really being welsh :rolleyes: ) Havent caught any of Hankeys games so far.
OMG :eek:
what a match!
Andy looks solid under pressure
but King is a machine… either way, gonna be a good final 
Going down the pub to watch the final on the big projector telly - its going to be a good one - but what a turn up, both my finalist predictions now gone - Barney and Count Hankey. I hope the final is as good or better than some of the matches so far.
One day I’ll be good enough…
to be allowed to go see it in person :lol:

I’ve just seen a match (BBC2) for the final between Andy Fordham and Barneveld (a Dutch guy). It is my first match of Darts I’ve really followed but what a match it was! Barney had a great start but the Viking trew some incredible gameshots and finally won it !!
P.S. Now I know what terms like Doubletop en bounceout means;)
As a member of team VT_Darts I really need the change my name into gameshot or game-on…

He was awsome against Richie Davies in the quarter final, think he is really up for it after being booed during the first couple of matches.
STUNNING match
I’ve seen better games to be fair, both players had their moments though and my fave won so I’m a happy camper!
I know DT’s been up the pub for this one, don’t think we’ll be seeing him too early at work tomorrow :cheers:
ahhhh the only game (I know of) where the world final is held in a big pub… more sports should be like this

Your right in that both players have played better. Wrong in that I never went to the pub to watch it as I am too knackered from going swimming with the kids. :rolleyes:
Entertaining game - and nice to see a “new” name on the trophy
Still I wonder whether King will return next year - he didn’t seem too happy with his performance, hopefully that was a knee jerk reaction and he will be back.
Anyone for a trip to Andy’s new pub “The Rose” ??? Going to be one hell of a week in there

Tis good to see someone new on the metalwork… good to see such a nice bloke win it too! Where was he from again? I could take a trip to his pub 
as for mervin, he’s always struck me as a bit stroppy… it could’ve been a knee-jerk, and he was prolly annoyed cos he played like a donkey… I mean, I could’ve lost 6 consecutive legs to Andy
