This is the new one .

That's two years in a row! Very impressive!

I still want Phil Taylor to win and i think he might have a good match against Lewis in the last 8.

Gittins · 29 Dec 2009 at 07:47

That is last years video!?

(Start of 09')

Good stuff ... but it'll just inspire Taylor to go one better .... a 167x3 9-Darter

Ironically, Barney had been playing fairly badly up until that point. Awesome to watch.

Da[]San · 29 Dec 2009 at 10:48

Edit, added the correct video for this years 9 dart - thats 2 years on the trot.

Barney got £25,000 for that, nice little earner.

Pretty sure it wasn't to reach the semi's

It was only a 2nd or 3rd round match last night.

It's to reach the last 16.

Quality - I still dont think he has the consistency to beat 'the new' Taylor, but he is a great player himself, in another time he'd be dominating the sport.

Wow, well done Barney. I said to my dad at the start of the tournament I fancied him to have more of a chance at a 9-darter than Taylor, and there he does it. Superb.

Impressive darts :cool:

Wade's in a bit of trouble, 3-3 and 1-0 down when he was throwing first in the final set.

Wow, 129 checkout against the darts, bull finish to make it 1-1, game on!

He went 1-2 down, Hamilton throwing for the match but Wade took out 112 to go through, he'll face Whitlock in the 1/4 finals. That will be a hell of a match

I've met Barney, he's a right big fat sweaty Dutchman

#Chri5# · 30 Dec 2009 at 22:11

Loved the crowd going bonkers.

Commentary wasn't the same without Sid Waddell though

Can't wait for Lewis v Taylor.

Lewis reminds me of the neanderthal in the coco pops advert.

Darts is a game / activity not a sport.

I'm not saying this thread is in the wrong section or anything, I'm just curious as to how anyone can call people like this, sportsmen:
