purpleronnie Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Is there anyone else who can't stand Taylor? Seems the crowd love the arrogant ****. Arrogance is usually a trait of top sportsmen, I admire it.
foxesfan1989 Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Taylor pulls the same expression if he wins or loses a set haha. Like a sort of embarrassed smile comes across his face.
ScouseFox Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Yeah, some people earn the right to arrogance in my book. He's the 15 (FIFTEEN) times champion of the world, you can't blame him for trotting round and giving interviews with a bit of swagger at times. I certainly would. He looks very focused tonight, too. Not even looked at Barney once yet. Tops, tops, tops and the first set in a flash. Could be an anti climax if Taylor wants it to be.
Mack Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Joey Barton and Michael Owen are big darts fans I see! Even Jamie Vardy, Gally and Nuge are tweeting about it. Lizen carefully, I will zay zis only onzce!
ScouseFox Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 "When he lined up double 12 I was almost in tears!" Mardle is fantastic.
WhenYourSmilingLCFC Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Still gutted Wes Newton went out. Backed him for the past few televised tournaments. Hes gotta win one soon, he aint far away. Love darts me. Didnt realise this many people on here liked the Darts. Play alot myself for local pubs etc. Seen a couple of people say they cant stand Taylor, add me to the list. But when i say hes losing it, he pops back up with a decent game. Same with Adrian Lewis. MVG is unreal at the min. Unplayable at times.
foxesfan1989 Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 So Barney goes from supreme confidence to a broken man in 20 mins!? What is going on?
leicsmac Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Taylor looking extremely determined. Think he has a point to prove.
AKCJ Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Arrogance is usually a trait of top sportsmen, I admire it. Theres good arrogance (Mourinho) and knobhead arrogance (Taylor). Not sure where the line lies though
Corky Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Van Gerwen's near double 9 darters was incredible, so unlucky not to get both. Taylor is cruising this.
ScouseFox Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Barney back alive. Literally. Looks like someone's just nudged him and said this is your biggest game in years. 2-1.
foxesfan1989 Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 After that 180 from Barney, that is just pure class from Taylor. He knows it too, huge celebration, don't normally see that from him half way through a match!
foxesfan1989 Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 I got Barney at 18/1 at the start of this tournament. Looks like I have wasted my £2. Really though he would have stepped up better here!
kingfox Posted 30 December 2012 Author Posted 30 December 2012 Thought this would be a good match, Taylor running away with it. Wake up Barney, acting like the big man, saying he is confident and not scared of Taylor. Not playing to his words just yet.
ScouseFox Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Would've been right back in it but decided to leave himself double 15. Could've switched to 18s to leave himself his favourite double 18 but didn't. Came inside the double 15 so split and Taylor steps up easy as you like 4-1. Game over.
foxesfan1989 Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Dare I say it, this is pretty pathetic from Barney. Head down, not showing any interest. I'm shocked.
ScouseFox Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 In all fairness he's being taught a bit of a lesson, he knows he's beaten and he looks like he just wants to go home now.
foxesfan1989 Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Pack your clogs Barney, you are going home.
leicsmac Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Taylor on some form, Barney disinterested. Adds up to a thrashing.
cambridgefox Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Thought this would be a good match, Taylor running away with it. Wake up Barney, acting like the big man, saying he is confident and not scared of Taylor. Not playing to his words just yet. He wasn't the interviewer twisted what Barney said,then twisted again when he spoke to Taylor.Taylor wa the one being rude to the studio team apparently ( unless they twisted that also) never ave warmed to Taylor although he is without doubt the best dart player ever.
cambridgefox Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Supporting Taylor is like supporting Man utd,Chelsea etc glory hunters!
Mack Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 I like Barnaveld but he shows himself up when he behaves like this. He gave up after a couple of sets and deprived us of a decent match.
AKCJ Posted 30 December 2012 Posted 30 December 2012 Barney lost this game in the first set. Was already shaking his head and his body language was poor. It's a confidence sport and the difference between the two is shocking.
