NewsSunday, 15 October 2017 at 19:04
Rob Cross is the first man through to the semi-finals of the European Darts Trophy, the last event on the European Tour calendar for this year. The former electrician with the nickname 'Voltage' downed a winner on the Euro Tour this year in Michael Smith to give himself another chance at winning himself his first ET crown after falling at the final hurdle previously.
Cross averaged 93 in his 6-3 win and will now play either Dave Chisnall or Kim Huybrechts in the semi-finals.
He will play Kim Huybrechts who claimed his first victory over Chisnall in 2 years defeating the St Helens ace in an enthralling encounter 6-4. 'The Hurricane' is once again in the latter stages of a Euro Tour tournament despite him having an elbow injury that has hampered him.
Michael Smith (79.02) 3 (11) 6 (93.15) Rob Cross
Dave Chisnall (97.81) 4 (11) 6 (99.82) Kim Huybrechts

- 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
