    Aye Littler showed a maturity I thought last night. First two sets were superb from him. He kind of hit a slump after that, which isn’t a surprise as that will happen in most games, and given the opponent, it’s easy to get knocked off your stride. He composed himself well though and showed a grit to win.

    What an absolute cracker of a game Dolan v Mansell. Two of them played some top class darts. Was relentless stuff at times and clutch finishing from both. Dolan just about deserved it in the end (won on a tiebreaker at 2-2 5-5 in legs)

    That Littler is apparently 16, they need to cut the booze from darts as he looks about 40.

    Been a superb Championships so far. The pre Christmas stuff can be tedious some years but there’s stories forming every single match. Not even properly warmed up yet either.

    One of the best sporting events there is. Can’t think of any other non football events I’m so glued too. 2 weeks off while it’s on helps tho lol!

    Dobey good Celtic man.

    Superb game of darts that, O’Connor and Dobey both excellent.

    Interesting to hear Dobey there, I reckon Littler has had an effect on a lot of players in that the mentality is if a wee guy can post what he’s posting why can’t I.

    Poor oul O’Connor can’t catch a break. Played amazing stuff in both of his games and has to pack his bags before Christmas. Dobey’s a legitimate threat for the crown imo. Strongly fancy him to beat Ross Smith who is a bit of a bottler on the big stage.

    I can see a surprise winner this year to be honest. I think it’s as wide open as I can ever remember.

    Incredible turnaround from him. Couldn’t even let go of a dart a few years back.

    Aye that’s mental. Brilliant mental strength from him to do that. I think he has a chance against Heta as well to be honest.
