Peter Wright again so near but yet so far. No need for the booing for MvG although they wanted a Wright win. 3 darts at double 8 that Wright won't get again possibly.

The Scottish crowds are terrible. Yes all players have their fans and yes they all have people that dislike them, but the amount of booing that goes on towards the non-scottish players is shocking, regardless of the tournament.

The fact they continue to go to Scotland astounds me.

I think everybody gets het up about it at the time and then calms down and takes the view that the crowd can do what they like for the money they put into the prize fund.

Saying that, though, I did notice more security people in hi-vis jackets walking around the crowd than is normally the case at PDC tournaments.

For what its worth I thought the noise tonight was nothing compared to a PL night. These players can handle it. Blimey this is ultra timid compared to what Brissy had to put up with in the 80s

Is this the kind of thing you're referring to?

I don't think Mastermind have too much to worry about
I don't think Eggheads do either

Quite a nice draw with some groups having two stand out candidates to get through

Group G i guess is the one that will get the "group of death" tag

Got to be honest, I've never heard of Dmitri van den Bergh, Ted Evatts, Nathan Derry, Nathan Aspinall, Jamie Hughes or Chris Dobey.

van den Bergh, Evetts, Derry and Dobey all qualified through the PDC qualifiers, they had 8 spaces left and they got 4 of them along with Robert Thornton, Brendan Dolan, James Wilson and Darren Webster

Jamie Hughes is a BDO player, one of the higher ranked ones not already qualified. Nathan Aspinall was the runner up in the PDC World Youth Final ( to Max Hopp )

Hope Wolfie takes MVG to the cleaners tonight. Used to like MVG but he's starting to become Phil Taylor mk II. He needs taking down a peg or two.

He's got to calm down though and not let his feelings get the better of him . He makes very silly mistakes and gets sloppy

He's very animated, sometimes it's like he doesn't know the score until it's called and then he reacts, and in that match it was like watching in fast forward he was unusually quick

Glen Durrant has to have the worst walk on music ever

Mind you it suits his style and mannerism

High quality match though

I hope his illness doesn't affect Wolfie. Oldest man in the tournament again, would love to see him make the second round
