I hope not. I don't want to see any unsportsmanlike behaviour.
Phil hasn't turned up yet. And the more I see of Cross, the more I dislike him.
Good player though eh.
Phil’s back in the game
This is too sad to see.
There'll be something on the other channels.
Gutted for Phil when he missed the D12 for the 9 darter then proceeds to throw away the leg. You can see he's not the player he was but what he can still do at nearly 60 years of age is phenomenal.
Cross has been very good (edit: actually, he's been superb) and not done much, if anything, wrong. Can't see Taylor turning this around but happy for whoever wins. Good final thus far.
I fail to see how any final can be good when one player dominates to the point of annihilation.
You won't always get a 7-6 but you would like to see some kind of a contest.
If this was boxing, it would have been stopped by now.
Fair do's, it's a shame it's not closer but Cross was not heard of a year ago, is playing in his first World Champs AND the final at that and is destroying the greatest player ever. Baring in mind Taylor is averaging over 100 and Cross is close to 110, it's been very entertaining and of high quality imo.
I'd like it to be closer but I certainly won't feel sorry for a 16 time World Champion. Out with the old and all that.
Bet365 paid out on Cross at just 2-0 up
Taylor did this to opponents for over a decade (comfortably beating them), it's a shame it's happening to him in his last game but he's handed out some huge hammerings in finals over the years, the one given to Manley I enjoyed.
Fair play to Rob Cross he's doing a job on the greatest darts player ever to play.
I totally get that - Taylor has never been everyone's cup of rosy. This has proven that it is absolutely the right time for him to quit the majors - imagine how embarrassing it wouuld get if he chose to hang around longer.
Blinded by my liking/support for Taylor I have disrespected Rob Cross and I must not do that - he is a worthy winner and may go on to win much more.
