Mighty Michael van Gerwen completes imperious World Series Finals treble in Glasgow

Michael van Gerwen has completed an imperious treble in Glasgow at the World Series of Darts Finals. 'Mighty' won last weekend in Hasselt at the European Championship where he claimed his fourth straight title there and has done one less but a similar feat in Glasgow.
It wasn't as close as many would have hoped with the World Number One winning 11-6 against Anderson who had the crowd's backing. He had a 103.3 average which is not exactly MVG at his best but his scoring and doubling at spells including 61% on the doubles brought the title home once again.
Attention for MVG turns to another major next weekend when BDO and PDC go head to head at the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton and he will be after 3 in a row at the Wolves Civic with Anderson and some of the world's best from both sides of the code trying to stop him.

- 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 - 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
