Well done to Cross, hope he leathers Taylor.
He may have had some luck with MVG missing 11 match darts but if there’s one thing Cross proved tonight it’s he’s got a hell of a lot of bottle

Re: PDC World Darts Championship 2018
That booing was shocking , it's a fun night out , not all that shit ffs

Re: PDC World Darts Championship 2018
Van Gerwen was 5-1 on to win that match, Cross was 7-2. The Dutch fave's finishing done him with just a 32% success rate on doubles, and his arse caved in on 'em at the death.
Cross not only takes on Taylor in the Final but a raucous crowd who'll back him all the way.

There's no room for that in the great sport!
Disagree
Dart players are paid a lot of money now thanks to the atmosphere in darts.
Sometimes the crowd are for you, sometimes against.
MVG has to take the rough with the smooth.
Disappointing he won’t do an interview. He hasnt been right all tournament. Certainly not the MVG of the last 2 seasons.

No shortage of talent either.
He needed to take the game to MVG from the outset and hang on in there, and he did just that.
MVG looked in shock.

Undoubted talent. You don’t rise up the rankings like he has without talent.
He’s had some slices of luck on the way. Could easily have lost to Smith and Dancing Dmitri.
Hopefully that’s an omen for tomorrow. Fingers crossed his scoring will be too much for Taylor.
At least Taylor won’t be able to slow him down like he did with Anderson as Cross takes his time anyway.

Re: PDC World Darts Championship 2018
I only started watching at 4 -3 in the final set. Why was there so much booing for MVG?

Well there were loads of Taylor fans earlier and I suspect still there for this match.
Not only do Taylor and MVG have previous, i suspect they think that their man has a better chance of winning the title against 20th seed as oppose to world number one.
Edit: becoming more like a toxic football crowd which can only be bad for the sport.
It will be Segregation and zero alcohol next.

Re: PDC World Darts Championship 2018
MVG won’t be the first player booed at the darts, he won’t be the last.
Poor Mervin King had to wear ear plugs because of the booing he used to get.

Re: PDC World Darts Championship 2018
King was an utter cock though...

Let's hope Cross beats Taylor and wipes that smarmy smile off his fat face. Horrible man and well overweight

:hehe: they all are apart from Jamie Lewis and Van Der Bergh.
Hard to believe Cross is only 27, thought he was in his late 30s.

Cross is playing MVG darts at the moment.
