Daryl Gurney completed his first win last week defeating Mensur Suljovic in Glasgow. Last week Gary Anderson returned home and this week it is the turn of 'Superchin' who will face Rob Cross on Thursday.
He has spoken ahead of returning home to play in Belfast; he admits he can wait to play there and that the place is bouncing. Gurney also said he wants to play and beat the best so is relishing a clash with Cross. "I can't wait to play in Belfast," said the World Grand Prix champion. "As soon as we get picked, the first thing we look forward to is playing in front of our home crowd and I hope the place is bouncing. "I'm glad that I got the win last week instead of putting it off for another week. "I'm looking forward to playing Rob, I want to play the best and beat the best and he's World Champion, so I can't wait." for the Premier League Darts prize fund breakdown.

- 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 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
