Daryl Gurney will take on Rob Cross tonight in the first World Matchplay semi-final but criticised pundits such as Wayne Mardle after his victory against Peter Wright.
He said that while he has nothing against him he said that he writes him off multiple times then says all the best to him but he says he keeps believing as a result. He added that he never really listens but said that it can be two-faced from those involved.
"Obviously Mr Wayne Mardle, I haven't got anything against him, but when he's writing me off twice and sees me in the hallway and says "all the best" it's a wee bit hard to take, but I'll always keep on believing.
"I never really listen, but whenever there's people writing you off before you even play and then can be two-faced when they say "all the best, champ."
"Then you listen to them live on TV and they're more or less writing you off."

- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Nobody cares about averages, the only record he'll take from Phil and its meaningless. Winning tournaments is the only importance of darts and nobody will ever eclipse Phil in any meaningful way. What does an average pay or warrant any success, this proves that, yet people still bang on about them.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
