Gary Anderson reached the semi-finals of the Premier League last night losing out to Michael Smith, his protege and he gave a few words after his defeat.
’The Flying Scotsman’ admitted that he deserved to win and for him the way he played this year meant reaching the semi-finals was a bonus. Anderson summed up his Premier League season as alright and said that he had some good and some bad games in his run in to the playoffs. “Michael played a good game tonight and he deserved to win,” admitted Anderson, who qualified for the Play-Offs for a fifth successive year. “The way I’ve played this year it was a bonus for me to reach the semi-finals. “I’ve had some good games and some bad games, but overall I think I did alright in this year’s Premier League.”

- Luke Littler played incredible darts yesterday in the semi-final and the final, heralding a new era of darts (along with some of the other brilliant young players who are emerging). And yet, at Luke's celebration feast, de Decker's ghost is Banquo to Littler's Macbeth, mournfully looking on.
UndartedWaters18-11-2024 - Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.UndartedWaters16-11-2024
