Dai Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 My prediction of that handicap bet coming through was accurate. Pity I didnt put anything on it. The Barney game was very enjoyable. Barney is a master of taking out important shots. There was one leg where he just kept hitting 60's, but won it with a cracking 140+ finish. The match winning double was also great. It shows how Taylor is on a different planet when I looked at his average from last night. He missed loads of doubles, and didnt seem to be playing noticably brilliant, but his average was still 103. Amazing. 100+ is "average" Taylor, which is why Barney needs to be playing his best to even have a chance. Quote

Dean Ayass Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Man this is a slaughter so far. Come on Barney, sort it out! Quote
craig3:16 Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Barney got a set back Edited January 4, 2009 by craig3:16 Quote
The Cum Doctor Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 At least Barney now looks like he can break Taylor for a set or two, which is a marked improvement from how he started the match. Quote
bAzTNM Fan Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Taylor's doing well but Barney's coming back. Come on Barney! Quote
SteveJames Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 An insane standard of darts here, never seen such consistancy in a world final before. Quote
Keith Houchen Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 6-1 Taylor hes playing awesome Without honestly meaning to sound like I'm having a pop, why the need for live updates? Why not wait till the end of the game and give a detailed opinion? Quote
SteveJames Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Taylor basically walked to a 7-1 romp for the title, Barney was a bit lacking in his game tonight, some good counter scoring but other than that, he was shown up to be very ordinary. Taylor on the other hand looked more at ease than he even did against King in the semis and just played his usual game to great effect. Not as close as many expected it to be, Taylor must be annoyed at not nailing the 9 darter but hes now a 14 time champion and at a peak most sportsmen rarely achieve. Quote
Dai Posted January 4, 2009 Author Posted January 4, 2009 With an average of 100+, its a bit harsh to call Barney "very ordinary" tonight. Against anyone else and he would be champ. For it to have been close tonight, Taylor would have had to have played below par, and Barney to have played above par. Taylor is just out of this world. 108 average, and never looked like losing. Only against Taylor will Barney average 100 and get beat 7-1. Quote
legendkiller Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Disappointed Barney lost tonight but he'll be back, given the fans some brilliant moments over the last couple of weeks including the 9 darter and that brilliant match with Ronnie Baxter (who i think will have a brilliant 2009) Quote
