Bit of both. MvG was roundly booed at the start and it seemed to rattle him and he's all over the place, Taylor playing well though.

The stick MVG is getting is ridiculous and you can see it is clearly upsetting him. They'd probably be singing his name if he'd got through and played in the semi final. Great win for Taylor though.

He's a cock a lot of the time but you have to admire his talent. Quarter of a century at the top, winding down to retire in a few months and can still dismantle the best player like that.
Taylor said MVG's partner is due to give birth any day now, so it's possible that his mind being elsewhere affected him more than the crowd.Darts crowds do seem to be twats, generally, though. Boring, unoriginal bellends with no interest in watching the sport they've paid to see. "Tables, tables, give us a song", "stand up if you love the darts", "Kolo, Kolo, Kolo". Fuck off.
Great game between Whitlock and Suljovic.
