VIDEO: "6,000 people pay good money Rob and you don't care" - Wayne Mardle fumes as Rob Cross turns down 170 chance
PDC
On Night 5 of the 2024 Premier League Darts, Rob Cross went down 6-2 in the final against Nathan Aspinall.
Earlier in the night however, a remarkable moment played out in Cross' quarter-final match against Gerwyn Price. Cross quickly gained a 4-0 lead averaging around 110 and had a chance to reel in the big fish, with Price way back on 216.
Cross started with a pair of treble 20s, as Mardle boomed "Do not split, do not split!" over commentary. But then, to the disbelief of Hawaii 501, Cross did not throw for the bull, instead setting up a double for his return to the board. Mardle responded furiously: "Well I have no time for that whatsoever. 6,000 people pay good money Rob and you don't care."
It turned out to be the right choice, however, as Cross won the leg to take a 5-0 lead. Price still won the next leg, but Cross eventually won 6-1.
In the Premier League Darts standings, Cross is in joint second place after five nights of play, six points behind overall leader Michael van Gerwen. Price, on the other hand, is languishing in second bottom with just five points.
and your callinng mardle obnoxious - wow you need to listen to yourself lol
The man is obnoxious. And I'm not the only one who thinks so. End of.
Shut up, Mardle, you overrated and obnoxious arsehole - a player does not have to go for a shot if they do not wish regardless of what you and your squarehead think. Muppet.

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025
- I've commented before,Phil should let us all remember how great he was,and leave your darts in the drawer. Another humiliation will tarnish everything,you couldn't even beat old blokes who you would have beaten before the game started !!rick6712-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
- actually, since you're asking... yes. yes i do.colt06-03-2025
