Gary Anderson capped off a good return to a TV tournament reaching another final after also having one in September at the Champions League of Darts which he also lost. This time it wasn't Mensur Suljovic but his rival Michael van Gerwen who he lost 11-6 to in the end at the World Series of Darts Finals in Glasgow and he spoke afterwards and admitted he got battered and is struggling to keep up with him but spoke about the positives about the weekend but was gutted not to win in front of his home fans. Anderson admitted: "Michael's good, isn't he! I love playing Michael, I've been battered tonight but I'm looking forward to next time. "I'm struggling to keep up with him - I used to be able to play at his pace! "This was a good weekend for me - it's always nice to get to a final in Scotland and it's a shame I couldn't win in front of my own fans."

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.

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
