/180/: 2018 WILLIAM HILL WORLD DARTS CHAMPIONSHIP DAY 10

The final day of Ally Pally action before Christmas starts with a group of upsetters before three all-seed clashes including 21 world titles!

The afternoon starts with an unexpected all-unseeded battle between Isle of Wight youngster Keegan Brown and Austria's Zoran Lerchbacher. The Needle showed his scintillating skill in his stunning 5-setter with James Wade, while the Hypercane had both a set of faulty light bulbs and Mervyn King's sciatica to thank for beating the whingebag. The tie of the session follows with a pair of youths born 3 days apart in erratic Michael Smith and mini-MVG Rob Cross. Bully Boy was taken to the last set by a spirited Steve Lennon while Voltage had far less trouble against Seigo Asada, recording a 104 average. Smith needs to focus from the off if he's to avoid losing to the year's biggest breakthrough. Finishing the afternoon are scumbag brother Steve West and hyperspeed's Jermaine Wattimena; West battered Benito van de Pas while the Machine Gun won a remarkable extra-time 5-setter against Joe Cullen.

The evening begins with a repeat of a World Grand Prix semi as Ulster's Daryl Gurney goes up against the Huntly behemoth John Henderson. Superchin averaged 101 in his 4 set defeat of Ronny Huybrechts while Hendo was never really challenged by Marko Kantele. That semi-final ended 4-1: this last 32 will probably be the same. The ultimate of cunt-offs follows as Phil Taylor's retirement caravan welcomes the slow and cheating bastard Justin Pipe. While Pheel took Chris Dobey to the cleaners, Pipe had the temerity to cough right up close to Kiwi qualifier Bernie Smith when he was going for the match in the final set. This is one of the very few times you actually want Taylor to win. Ending the evening are Raymond van Barneveld and Kyle Anderson; Barney kept his last 64 3-0 streak going against Richard North, while Kyle struggled to put Peter Jacques out.

Coverage starts at 1:00pm UK time on Sky Sports Darts (SS Arena).

Ugh
>Pipe vs Taylor tonight
Yasss

>Pipe had the temerity to cough right up close to Kiwi qualifier Bernie Smith when he was going for the match in the final set.
You know you are a hopeless loser when you need to cheat against a likeable qualifier from an exotic country.

>This is one of the very few times you actually want Taylor to win.
This. And I also want to give him the chance to bottle it against a real opponent, not some never-has-been.

Thank you, based OP.

Hoping Cross can keep up his form and eliminate Smith.

>This. And I also want to give him the chance to bottle it against a real opponent, not some never-has-been.
To be fair, in a way, it would be hilarious if Taylor's last match ever was a loss against fucking Pipe.

>You know you are a hopeless loser when you need to cheat against a likeable qualifier from an exotic country.
That's the saddest part of it all.

He cheated against a complete nobody.

>Pipe’s next opponent Taylor was accused in the 2005 World Championships of persistently farting during his match with Alex Roy at the Circus Tavern.

Lol what

mvgwinslol

sigh

By the way: Continued this a little bit, always open for suggestions. I'm not sure how much of the hate against Mardle and Bristow is only banter and how much is genuine.

lel

Reminder

Put Pipe to Philth tier

...

...

DELET THIS

Taylor's isn't that bad when you don't have to watch Sky.

>inb4 user was banned for this post

Can /ourguy/ do it tonight and knock chincunt out lads?

no

Please, let it happen. But it probably won't.

God: Fallon Sherrock
Likeable: Anastasia
Meh: Eileen de Graaf
Dislike: Lisa Ashton
Hate: Deta Hedman
Philth: Trina Gulliver

Fucks sake, would have been amazing

Not workimg here, but thanks.
I’ll just use one of the usual streams.

And we're on now.

To quote Lethal Biscuit himself: "Ouch"

Michael didn't know he won every leg until the reporter told him.

getting a 97 avg and not even winning a single leg is fucking bizarre

...

Overrun by the autism train.

It makes sense actually. Apart from 4 turns every single turn was a scoring visit

>when you unironically want philth to win the worlds just to stop autism

Compare that to Qiang Sun last year against Cadbury who averaged under 70 without a single shot at a finish.

...

Kek

Trips confirms, better move the thread lads

On german TV they just said that it's Zoran's dream to defeat Keegan so he can play Philth next. Mfw he beats Keegan but has to play Poop instead.

GWAN ZORAN

You fell over, Peru.

lyl

Autismwinslol is annoying, but still better than Taylorwinslol.

This will be scrappy as fuck.

fucking wade, why did you have to lose

>Lerchbacher
I can't support players who have their own name or nickname tattooed to their underarm.

Unicorn boards have been rubbish yet again.

Brown dislike tier

He's depressed, give him a break

Who makes the best boards?

Winmau.

Winmau. If Uncle Bazza has any sense he will buy out the Unicorn contract and buy out Winmau to replace.

Unicorn have shares in the PDC so that's not happening any time soon.

>If Uncle Bazza has any sense he will buy out the Unicorn contract and buy out Winmau to replace.
Alternatively, someone buys out the BDO so Winmau have to join the PDC.

Winmal. Blade4 is bretty good. Had an unicorn eclipse board before which the same price - never again!

*Winmau

Made a complete meal of 51 there

DAT 122

Great 122 from Hypercane.

>Pheel is retiring at 57
>Limmy is in the form of his life at 63
Absolutely unreal.

>Zoran

>Hyperjobber
Can't ever see him qualifying automatically again for the Worlds.

Had a fluke run at a Players Championship event to qualify for this.

Awwww

This has been poor.

HE WON A SET

Great timing from Zoran with that 180.

Colin lloyds love child

I can't imagine Philth or the autist giving an interview like that.

>cracking little player
>I won Lakeside in 1990 remember
>Garry Plummer
>Wayne Mar-dell
>Ronnie O'Sullivan

>urrrrr

>bog handles
>pissed guy in pub said i would be best player in world

Big 102 for Needle.

>Robbie Williams

God is this kid annoying

They could not pick a worse commentary pairing than pyke and harrington.

Both roasters who talk absolute shite.

>Pyke/Harrington
>Studd/Mardle (TAYLOR MATCH BONUS)

Croft/Part is the only objectively good pairing.

>12 scored

>12

They should have put philth match on in afternoon and cross v bully tonight.

Jelle approves

Croft is annoying as shit though.

wew

Keegan is one ugly bastard, isn't he.

...

What a shitfest this is.

Mind you, wade v king wouldnt have been much better.

haha absolutely LOVE IT when they start chanting for players who aren't playing lads

>wade spraying 60s all over the shop
>merv getting spinal cancer that magically appears when he goes behind

'MON ZORAN

Love it when crowds sings Taylor songs when Taylor isn't even at the tournament

So this is going to be the only game I'll be able to watch huh. Thanks for nothing.

>55
>30
>28
Welcome to Lakeside

>Brown was 347 points ahead in this leg

Yeah. Best commentary for me would just be John Part on his own

>brown

Zoran v Mensur
battle of the """Austrians""" happening soon

>Taylor will play one of these next
Bravo, Bazza.

This whole quarter was a mess from the off.

>Zoran
ffs

Truth to that

Shite quality match this.

To think one of these will be in the last 16.

>Brown constantly celebrating before taking the darts out of the board

Please let this be the final set.

>This is what happens when you take a drunks pub game and call it a "World Championship"

THAT 78

BIG TIME BREAK

>Zoran

reckon id give brown a good match of arrers

He even celebrates in the most depressed way possible.

Trying to compete with Smith for saddest celebrations or what
