Jesus, you really are an annoying pedant aren't you?
My point being, he isn't in the tournament this year yet he reached the semis last year.

Then why didn't you post that ? Us pedants aren't too good at mind reading

You said he has dropped right down the rankings to which I replied. I wouldn't say that is being pedantic. If you don't like people correcting errors on a public forum you shouldn't insult them.

Any scores so far please ? Not managed to see any yet

K Anderson beat C Reyes 2-1
K Huybrechts beat I White 2-1

Cheers. Only 2 finished eh ? Going to be a long night in Dublin.

Yes looks it Darren Wade 1-0 up against Terry Jenkins

Wade out beaten by Terry Jenkins 2-1

The old slugger Jenkins beats the machine wadey

The Raging Bull. Most mild mannered man you could meet I bet

Where's the walk on girls???

Not in the first round (no time for interviews either)

Phew.........I thought darts was going all PC there

Looking forward to going over for the final next weekend

Anyone wanting to watch tonight's session of play will be out of luck right now because Sky Sports has fallen off the air with the first match having barely started

Power problem in the venue (15 minute delay)

Bit of a surprise Mensur going out, he's been winning and reaching finals of the floor events for fun.....

They really need to bring back afternoon sessions for the first round, it goes on far too late.

Norris on the verge of putting Michael Smith out here

and he has.

Am I right in assuming that Michael Smith has had a pretty lousy darting year?

Maybe start the darts at 6 rather than 7 these late nights are a little long

Uncle Phil 1 leg away from going bye bye

Bye Phillip

Taylor was just trying to cruise through that match in first gear.

He was absolutely nowhere near any of his Champions League performances.

Great win for west well played

That's noteable MVG loses the first set. Interesting................

Who decided to have Darts matches at midnight

Oh well as you do lose the first set then win 6 legs in a row to win the match

Incredibly 10 of the 2-1 winners all lost the first set
