Don't know how Barneveld won that first set because he definitely looked like he was labouring up there - well, other than the 104 finish.
Incidentally, it shows you how many people are interested in the World Championship this year by the fact that Whitlock is currently the sixth biggest trending term on Twitter worldwide.
If it leads to loads of confused Americans then all the better.
Second set Osborne, Barneveld just let him in too many times - as symbolised by that dart he had at double 18 to win the set which quite frankly was closer to the treble.
He got away with lacklustre performances against Hine and McDine, but I'm not sure he's going to get away with it here; maybe it's better for him that he doesn't because if he takes this standard into a match with Anderson he'll get slaughtered.

I agree, but Osborne is woeful as well so probably will.
Osborne must be thanking his lucky stars at the moment, he's not had to play anything like his top game in this championship and yet he's looking good for a quarter final place...
...which is more than can be said about Barney, looking disconcerted, glum, changing his flights, he just looks unfocused and very jaded out there at the moment.
And then he checks out 156.
Nice to see that the crowd are gripped by such a pivotal leg, isn't it?
And are taking full heed of Bruce Spendley's call for order too. :rolleyes:
Oh and what a win for Van Der Voort earlier:eek: He was superb to beat Whitlock. I really though Whitlock was going to level at 3 each and then go on to win it but all credit to VDV, he held himself together and got the win.
Now lets make it a double win for the Dutch please Barney
Crucial leg and the idiots in the crowd start their stupid singing:rolleyes:
Apparently the "fans" in the table seats are making provocative chants at the "fans" in the tiered seats and vice versa.
This may not sound sensible, but I almost wouldn't mind it if there was a mass brawl one night as that'd be the only thing to make the PDC realise that they have to control their crowds better.
Keep an eye out for a guy near the front in a green jumper, who has probably spent more time looking at the back of the arena than the front.
havent posted in this thread before but have been reading it, time for the world championships to be held somewhere else or limit the alcohol allowed, the crowd during most of this match have been unbearable
great win for vincent earlier hopefully takes that on and beats lewis,ando shouldnt be worried about either of these guys and i am a big barney fan

I do think Jackpot will defeat him in the QF though.
2.10pm-Jenkins v Newton/Suljovic
3.30pm-Lewis v VDV
7.40pm-Barney/Osborne v Anderson
9.00pm-Taylor v Webster
If Osborne won then maybe a switch with the Lewis/VDV game.

Lost his voice:D
Dont think Anderson should worry regardless who wins this.

Like theyve done most nights:rolleyes:.The same 'Boring Chants' too:yawn:
Like i said earlier by the time the last match comes on it will be in full throttle:(
3-2 Osborne; got to be honest, I have no idea how that set went because I was distracted by the crowd.
Barney was very unlucky on that 170 though.
I don't know whether he's got the heart to come back into this match again, really.
Yes Dave.And next minute their singing 'Tables Tables give us a song':p
I reckon Barney v Osborne will go 7 sets and it'll finishe about 0045.
Definitely after midnight if going beyond 5 sets
