"I'd have been gutted if I'd lost that" - Mickey Mansell edges Peter Wright in last-leg decider at European Darts Grand Prix

Mickey Mansell shocked to come through a thriller against Peter Wright (6-5) on Friday night at the European Darts Grand Prix in Sindelfingen.
"I'd have been gutted if I'd lost that," admitted Mansell afterwards, having been in the ascendancy throughout the tie. "I felt I was playing well, I felt the throw was there but I just couldn't find the first dart. Then everything I was doing to adjust was complicating matters. As the game wore on, I knew I was getting chances but I wasn't capitalising."
Although 'Snakebite' has shown signs of a resurgence in form recently, this match was a struggle for the former world champion. "But even then it is still a player to be reckoned with," said Mansell. "Until the last leg, he had 71% on his doubles. He's always in with a chance for the win."
In the second round, Mansell will take on fourth-seeded Damon Heta. "I will have to raise my level a bit to have a chance against him. If that works out it will definitely be a great match."

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
