Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted January 1, 2021 A great contest. The leg that went: Chizzy 180 MvG 180 Chizzy 180 MvG 140 Chizzy 129 MvG 141 Chizzy 6 was just pure class from both. Great entertainment. Anderson vs Chizzy is an exciting prospect. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Except, and I am not bothered in the great scheme of things, but I also clicked on it because I assumed this Chisnall was a footballer. In fact there was a Chisnall who I think played for Liverpool quite a while back. Perhaps darts should have been in the title?!

If they were, neither you nor South Sider would have been able to grace us with a comment about it. Which inevitably wasted more time than having to bear the heinous, damaging trial of reading words on a football forum that weren't about football.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,818 Posted January 1, 2021 Incredible result, as I thought van Gerwen was looking back to his best earlier in the tournament and pretty much unstoppable. I echo the sentiments above of 'anyone but Price', but with van Gerwen out of the way Price is now the favourite which is a blow. But Bunting has looked very good so far and certainly has it in him to trouble Price tomorrow. Great to see a thread finally made about the darts by the way, although it probably shouldn't be in this part of the forum 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you have to use Google to try and work out a thread, you know a clearer title would have helped!!! Last time I genuinely watched anything dart related it was Phil Taylor who was the man to beat, no idea who Chisnall is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted January 2, 2021 Come on guys. Just because you don't recognize the name and it's relevance, doesn't mean it should be dealt with in another way. Yes, I know there is a non football forum, but I don't know why everything can't live on the same pages, just have a different tag/colour attached so any non football posts can be ignored by those that don't want to look. It's not that onerous to look through a page or two to find the thread you want (or search for it) if you really want to read or reply to it. Mountain out of a mole hill springs to mind It's not taking anything out of your life to click on a post and scroll down a couple of replies to realize what it is about, is it? A few sconds that you won't get back again? Come on I knew exactly what the thread was about as I love the darts , but if someone started a thread about a F1 driver/Horse racing jockey etc and just put their name on the title, and i clicked on it, realized it was of no interest to me, I wouldn't go looking for my pitchfork (slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean). Let's not start 2021 with mild indignation. Spread the love guys 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pearsos 56 Posted January 2, 2021 Nice to see 2 English players in the last 4 and all 4 players coming from the UK (reminds me of the Bristow, Lowe, Wilson, Rees days). After the players that went out in the early rounds I must admit I was expecting the Dutch to dominate. Lets hope for two good semi-finals and a great final.

To be fair to MVG, he averaged over 98. He didn't play badly (although certainly wasn't at his best), he was just unlucky enough to run into Chisnall who played the best game of his life and averaged 107.

I can't help but feel that the thread deserves a bit of heat, if we had people posting about everything in their head it would be difficult to find the football threads and that is why there is a thriving non-football board. Depending on where exactly Van Gerwan is from in Holland/Belgium (presumably?), that could make him the more local of the two players!

You’re correct there is nothing football or local about it . I love darts and in that sphere it was an incredible performance which I got carried away with . As I acknowledged very quickly and if I could or knew how to , I would’ve swapped it on to non football straight away . I’ve also said that I’ve now started a darts thread on non football to avoid any more hassle . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
