Well, however I feel about these two guys and the way the conduct themselves on the oche, I have to say that it is really great to see another play finally rise up and challenge Phil Taylor.

Personally, I would love for MvG to stay in form like this. Maybe someone showing that the great one is beatable will inspire a few others to work a bit harder to raise their game to that level. And it wouldn't be bad for the sport to develop a little rivalry at the top!

Agree, although i think it already has made the younger guys work harder.

I don't have to speculate, I know what I would do if someone celebrated like that after every throw/leg. I wouldn't be allowed back in any league in my state for sure, and thats pub darts which is supposed to be for fun. So for that reaction from Taylor although it may be bad he still showed some restraint IMO.

It's never fun to get lit up in a game, and then for someone to just grind it in like he does. Thats why i don't care for either player they both do it. It's fun to watch them lose.

So as a professional player, on stage, you would assault someone like MvG or Andy Hamilton for celebrating?

smh.

no, not as a professional because I would lose my job.
