Taylor through in final WSOD event and Van Gerwen wins despite injury
NewsFriday, 20 October 2017 at 23:38
Phil Taylor will be part of the Quarter-Final lineup tomorrow against Daryl Gurney after knocking out the qualifier Robert Marijanovic. He took the first leg but was unlucky in missing multiple checkouts which Taylor punished and as a result he came out a 6-2 winner in his last ever World Series event.
Michael van Gerwen despite having an injury to his non playing ankle which showed him to be visibly in pain throughout got through the German number two and the rising star 'The Wall' Martin Schindler who gave the best performance of the night but lost 6-2 due to clinical finishing from the world number one. He moves through to face James Wade tomorrow in a game that is the best of 19 which if Mighty Mike's condition doesn't improve could favour the resurgent Machine.

- 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
