Great QFs

Wow!
Another night of epic darts. Great to see a sport not screwing itself up with Video Assistant Refs.
Luke Littler came from one set down to beat Ryan Seale 6-1, throwing a 105 average. The 18 year old reaches his third world final in a row.
Then Dutchman Van Veen overcame the Scottish former world champion Gary Anderson 6-3 with both of them averaging just shy of 103.
On paper Luke Littler is the favourite for tonight's final. But if Van Veen can match his scores and put him under pressure to hit doubles, it could be very close.
The Alexandra Palace will be the hottest ticket in London tonight with 3500 fans screaming their hearts out. Given the phenomenal interest in the Darts at the moment, I could see future World Finals taking place at the Royal Albert Hall or the O2 arena.

Brilliant night of darts for very different reasons
Wonderful respect given and shown by all Semi Finalists

He could go on to be more ‘power’ful than Phil Taylor

I like what you did there

Luke Littler has thrown 14 180s to Gian van Veen's eight. This has been close to perfection at times from the Nuke.
14 more than I've ever thrown in my life and I've been playing darts since before he was born.
I think he's a slightly better player than I am.
Really?
I don’t play darts that much - don’t even have a board at home. But I’ve thrown 180 a few times. Maybe it’s not too late to find my calling

I’m not calling you a liar as such…..but I think you must be mistaken. Best I’ve ever done is 140 ( not quite 180 )

Mistaken? I can fucken add mate, it’s not that deep.
Congrats on your 140

No it's not but highly unlikely for someone who doesn't play regularly and play well.
video or it didn't happen

Yeah. Am with @voodoo here.
Regular afternoon drinks at the pub at Uni we threw quite a number of darts. With a couple of mates in particular. I was the third best of the three of us. But did get to throw at least a couple of 180s. Mis-spent youth ... or mis-spent student loan ...
Now 147 on a snooker table is not believable...
