PDC Replay - Phil Taylor v Wayne Mardle World Championship Quarter Final 2008

[@jessevandenbroek4334]

What a fantastic match, Mardle enjoying the audience the whole match, no matter how the situation was.

it was great

Too bad he choked in the semifinals.

Legendary my arse, they ruined the game with their pathetic ramblings Darts is better off without them

[@duncanbirss8923]

@@billybonkers94 waddell was good but then just went on about the lie of the darts or stacking every single throw which became very annoying , Gwynne was ok

[@refocusd5065]

Agreed, darts wouldn’t be where it is today without Sid Waddell

[@tay2229]

I think there was a "challenge match" night at the Circus Tavern in 1997. One of the matches was Eric Bristow vs Alan Evans. Lanning, Gwynne and Waddell all commentated. All five of those people are sadly no longer with us.

[@BartoniGaming]

Brilliant charisma. I've watched this so many times. 1 of my favourite matches of all time. The underdog and 1 if my sporting heroes. Fantastic Wayne.

[@jaysonpfaff5566]

Mardle is just awesome on stage. Love it.

[@justinhendriks3789]

This is better than any series/film on Netflix

[@JosephNordenbrockartistraction]

I got'a hand it to all the camera men for such a fine job covering the spectators. Great experience to watch this again. Thanks for this posting once again. Taylor must have believed he was cursed to go cold after a decent start of this game.

[@mav22mav]

Love watching these older matches. Every time i find it so unbelievable the difference in the crowds. No way in todays game would have they been this quiet or hearing the crowd shh while the darts are being thrown lol great match

With the money the PDC has, I can't believe that they haven't read digitize some of these old games. So the videos are better. Because some of these old games are great to watch.

A golden (short) era of darts. Special nights. 🎯 ❤

[@frankfrei1882]

Most legendary walk-on ever!!!

[@timockeloen3790]

wow i first watched the other pdc replay from the final of 2007 between van barneveld and taylor and i did notice that the croud was only concentration about the match. I first thought it was because it was a final and in a smaller room but then i watched this clip and still 95% are their for the darts. It makes me very sad that nowadays after 5 minutes the croud isn,t really watching anymore only if their is a 180 or a 9darter opertunity only 5% is now their for the darts it makes me very sad because this atmosphere makes games more exciting to watch. I was born in 1997 and i don,t think this atmosphere is ever gonna come back but we can only hope.

[@adamweishaupt2846]

I bet Mardle & Painter still have nightmares about losing in the Semis in 2008. A world title was there for the taking with Kirk "Shite" Shepherd making it to the Final.

[@151bar151]

John Part still there

[@dlbia9569]

John part the threw great player that year

[@jonlaroche5239]

Well considering Painter lost to Shepherd in the semis not sure why he would be kicking himself because Shepherd was in the finals. Lmao not a very bright comment there.

[@SuperChalkster]

at the time kirk sheperd was playing good darts, i saw him at the hampshire open before this world championships and he won the event with a pretty solid field, part was there, painter, wade and others. i remember it well because of how well he was playing, i dont think he threw more then 15 darts a leg all day. he still has a tour card to this day, so its harsh to call im shite. he just hit peak form this year and others took him for granted

[@cwm6203]

@@jonlaroche5239 Mardle lost to Shephard not Painter, Painter lost to John Part

[@s.e.wagger3888]

Aside from the dartsmen playing the game now-a-days, Wayne Mardle is the personality that keeps people watching the sport on Sky. He's done as much for the game as what Crafty, Power and MVG have. Hawaii took up the mantle Syd left when he passed away.

[@Lyrigaal]

Last leg was a miscount. Mardle scored 70 first 3 darts, yet they left him on 416. This will forever haunt me now 😂

[@ashleywintle572]

1:57:32 sometimes having that connection with the crowd feels nearly as good as being world champion. Magical moment. I don’t know but I feel like they speed up chase the sun nowadays compared to this.

[@vonKarasz]

There's a mistake there on the scoreboard. In the last leg Mardle starts with a 70, so 501-70=431, but the scoreboard says 416 (that can be achived if you throw 85). So in fact he was 15 points ahead the real score.

[@thegameguyz1771]

You're right I thought that too but Bruce spendley (the referee) called out 85 whether that was his mistake and the second dart landed in the five I'm not sure

[@deandalton8482]

spotted that myself whilst watching, very strange

[@dardanberisha6350]

The second dart was in the 20

[@jonathancox9501]

yeah i noticed that ....from the grouping...it could have been 80...70 but no way it could have been 85

[@davidcaldwell6627]

This happened when Phil was going through hard personal times, Phil his darts were falling short of the treble and his finishing was terrible, however this doesnt say Wayne didnt deserve to win it was a fantastic game he never gave up and Phil was gracious in defeat.

[@vidiveniviciDCLXVI]

His weight as well was so bad for him, he looked so tired and drained. Sad times for him, but he bounced back.

[@davidriley9194]

I'm reasonably new to the darts history, but not to darts,The internet was still very young, when I played in clubs & pubs in competitions , for fun.Ive recently caught up a bit with streaming ! I wonder whether 🤔 this Victory was Wayne's Finest Hour ? , He played the match in commendable & remarkable spirit ,& perhaps 🤔 was ahead of his time ? ,tell me, but his walk on was so similar to Snakebites antics ? , Well done Wayne 👏 ✔, World titles don't divine eveything ,in life, You beat Phil Taylor, who was sat on 13 World titles, still had 3 to go ! , Phil had no problems 😊 with congratulations for the winner because I think he appreciated your bubbly spirit ,no matter how each leg went ! 😀 I will enjoy your current match commentary all the more, Your well qualified 👍 to make the call.

Finally beats Phil only to lose to a nobody, even to this day he must be kicking himself over that.
