Chuffed to bits to see Anderson bag a world title at last, comes across as a real likeable bloke. ....unlike the likes of Lewis and Wright etc.

Good to see a British world champion (he's no longer Scottish now he's won) :D

Great game, Anderson's 180 that ended up on the floor and the heckling from the crowd meant that set he won was absolutely superb. Thought the Power was going to come back but chuffed that Anderson won. True about The Power missing a stack of doubles but with Anderson beating Van Gerwen (and Taylor) makes him a well worthy World Champion in my book.

Great TV.

Only got to see First 2 sets , sounds like a cracker ,

One thing i did notice was Taylor touching Andersons chin at end of 2nd set that taylor had won , if my old memory serves me correct didnt taylor go off on one about some1 doing that to him a few yeas back ? possibly Barney? .

Nice to see G Anderson win it tho IMO

Yip, you are quite correct Bill. Taylor didn't like it done to him.

Saw that too. I don't know how well they know each other but I though it was overstepping the mark considering the occasion.
Nothing wrong with a bit of banter and gamesmanship but tugging on his double chin is a bit OTT.

You wouldn't get one of the Americans ruffling up Poulters quiff after going 1 up at the Ryder cup.. Although I wouldn't mind seeing that though :thup:

Found myself browsing darts, boards and all manner of fancy flights this evening think I might pay the old sports direct a wee visit..... winmau or unicorn, light or heavy is now my latest dilemma. :D

After the comedy of errors on the BBC yesterday with the Japanese guy, the tourney has taken a turn for the better.BT Sports 2 is showing it live and a lad called Greet van Box is more than capable. Think he'll be the next one to swap tours.

Havent seen any of the BDO Worlds yet but the early rounds do feature some extremely mediocre stuff.

The standard may be pretty poor, but it was worth watching for Fallon Sherock....a lot easier on the eye than Phil Taylor that's for sure. :)
