Joe Cullen is through to the semi-finals of the 2021 European Championship for the second time in his career after silencing the home crowd in Salzburg with a 10-7 win over Mensur Suljovic.
After a tumultuous few months off the oche, Cullen is aiming to return to form and has done so this weekend by reaching the latter stages in Austria where he will now face Rob Cross later.
He produced a 95 average, 7 180's and a high checkout of 104 en route to end the chance once again of 'The Gentle' who continued his supreme form since returning to the tour.
It was a superb start to the tie for Cullen who eased into a 3-0 lead before Suljovic got off the mark and kept himself in proceedings firmly with a 102 checkout before the first break to make it 3-2.
It was a 5-5 game as The Rockstar took out 82 to restore it to parity despite 16 missed darts at doubles. But he surged into an 8-6 lead with a wonderful 11-darter after back-to-back 180's and this proved vital as he surged to victory.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- 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
