Finishing is dreadful. Sad to see.

He should never have lost all that weight and changed his darts at the same time, huge gamble to change so much at the same time. That's what's cost him in my opnion.

Lol, is it just me, or does this ITV4 commentator doing the van Der Voort v Kist match sound like Alan Partridge's arch-rival DJ Dave Clifton from "I'm Alan Partridge"?!

Gazza, I'm enjoying the contributions from Alan Warriner-Little-Large & Chris Mason, both are excellent and IMO probably better than their Sky counter-parts.
Last night, Sir Phil played like someone the officials had picked out from the audience, the only thing missing was a costume.
He's not the real Phil Taylor, he just can't be.

Oh don't get me wrong, Rog, the summarisers (AW-L and Mase) are excellent, but the main commentator in this match is like a smashie and nicey tribute act, it's diabolical!

Agreed, he looked lost walking off last night, the way he looked at the match officials on his way to stage left was sad to see. I feel that there are issues other than just diet and darts at play here, busting that 130 twice with D12 in the same leg was just too unbelievable for words. |

Agreed Gazza.
Excellent game.
Mason mentioned earlier that Kist has a good chance to win this, might be right

Kist is a very very good player, but he got away with that and he showed that he knew it with those puffed cheeks after nailing that D12. I was surprised to hear Warriner-Little saying earlier that after his BDO triumph against Tony, not only did he just go back to work, which I suppose is to be expected for a newcomer, he also dodged the subsequent tournaments! He dominated that Lakeside tournament from start to finish, and that was a huge mistake, he had the momentum and should have really looked to establish himself.

Set faces to stunned! 1000-1 outsider, 21-year old Aidan Kirk is now in the last 16 of the UK Open after beating Peter Wright the day after knocking out 5-time champion, Phil Taylor. Blimey, and can he play!  |

I'm all for a bit of camaraderie on the oche, but I think this is taking it a little too far:  Get a room, lads  |

Come on, Terry Jenkins, stunning victory in the Semi over van Gurning! I hope he goes all the way, nobody deserves a trophy more than him.

Well, it's Finals Night and Phil Taylor has made it there.
Just shows the quality and determination of the man.
Tough for him to win it, but I really hope he does.
Come on, Phil!
