DRA gave Pipe a £3,000 fine and formal warning as to his future behaviour for coughing incident.

 

Barney after losing to Hendo at Grand Prix

Spitting on camera

Throwing drink over the practice room wall causing damage

Throwing dart case on floor and kicking it across the floor

£5,000 fine with £2k suspended.

Delighted that Dave Clark has been inducted into the PDC Hall of fame.

Heard that the walk on girls have gone from the darts . PDC not using them on Sky or ITV and apparently top darts players want them reinstated.

Great final, RVB played fantastic but MVG really did up his game as usual in the last quarter of the match.

Two-time world champion Adrian Lewis has been suspended by the PDC for this incident:

 

 

 

No need to push a opponent at all.

 

 

Adrian Lewis has been fined £3,000 and been given a suspended three-month ban after confronting an opponent.

Lewis has got away with one there, thought they'd come down on him what with it being on camera rather than behind closed doors but clearly not!

So looks like Anderson vs cadby final which should be a cracker but the way this tournament has gone it will probably be pallet vs Owen in the UK Open.

Corey Cadby is through to his first major final after an 11-3 demolition of Robert Owen and as I predicted it is a Anderson v Cadby final.

 

 

Well done Gary a 6th major title nice to see him back winning and cadby will surely win a major he looks a top player for sure, experience played a part in the end.

Michael Smith's 100% run in the Premier League has come to an end at the hands of Rob Cross, with the World Champion coming from behind to clinch a 7-5 victory.

Wasn’t expecting Peter Wright to get spanked 7-1 by Suljovic last night.

Peter Wright seems to have struggled since he was ill just before the Worlds. Apart from beating MVG in the Premier League, he seems to have really struggled this year.

 

 

Personally I can’t see Mensur getting anything against MVG so it won’t matter what Wright does against Gurney. I like Mensur but I think he will be the one getting eliminated.
