Really gotten into it this year. Watched the World Grand Prix earlier in the year too. The final is gonna be really good too with the Grand Prix Champion v the best in the last few years.

Loved that little fight too, poor Barney

The two semi final matches were awesome. MVG produced darting history regardless and Barney almost pulled off the comeback of all comebacks. If there is anything worse than a sore loser, it's a sore winner and I didn't gain any more respect for Taylor, the guys a bell. I hope MVG smashes him tomorrow.

He's saying he had a cold or something...*shrugs*

Statement from Barney:

Quote:

“I understood nothing of it and wanted to hug him. He said F*** Off and I didn’t understand. What inspires the man to push me away?” … “I gave him a nudge in his back and then we walked down the stage there are still harsh words back stage” .. “I wanted to congratulate him .. and then this, incredible. I’m sick of it, I don’t understand his reaction at all.” .. ” I have not talked to him! I just received a text message from Phil. He apologizes for his improper behaviour ” .. “I do not know if I’m going to respond. The emotions are running high. Of course I hope Michael wins final.”

You reckon? I know football, rugby and the like have more ways in which to develop and show technique than darts, but I would say they're equal in how hard they are to master.

I use to love watching Darts when I was a kid. It seemed to be on BBC 2 all year round and looked like loads of fun. People have been really into it these last few days I've noticed on Twitter, I've not really had time to look at it though.

It's been on at the Echo arena near me before but I didn't go. I would love to go and see a darts event live.

BDO darts is awful tbh, Martin Adams is the only good player and he is banned by PDC because of the bad mouthing

Barney has came out on Twitter saying that Sky pretty much made up any quotes about him and Phil are anything but okay with eachother.

Had Sky Sports on in the background most of the day and they've had two interviews with Taylor where he has stated they are fine with other and it's all good. He's made a right twat of himself though.

His explanation for his reaction is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard a 'sportsman' say. Apparently he reacted like he did because Barney squeezed his hand too hard when they shook.

He actually said something along the lines of: He's a big guy and he hurt me a little bit.

Weedy little shit. Hope he gets smashed. That Dutch dude is on fire at the moment.
