That 170 and the 160 from Dobey to win his PL debut - Hollywood stuff! 😆

[@denisbabebabiar]

Dobey is in shape of his life. His checkouts are deadly.

[@Moulzee]

Dobey proving all the doubters wrong !!

[@JonKonDrums]

After one week lol. If he's still there or thereabouts at the end of the Premier League then he would have proved the doubters wrong.

[@dirtyharry2029]

@@JonKonDrums lol love when negative people like their own comments.... gj bud.

[@JonKonDrums]

@@dirtyharry2029 I didn't like my own comment. Liking your own stuff on social media is the equivalent of jerking off to your own reflection in a mirror, which is probably what you've gone and done. Also not being negative, just realistic. If he carries good form over 17 weeks and ends up in the playoffs or the final then fair play to him, one week doesn't prove anything you donut.

[@0210mick]

He won 3 matches lol

[@maltipoo5221]

C'mon. It was only the first week from 17. Last year there were no players who did not win at least one night. Most likely the same will be this year. I still believe that a player ranked 21st should not be in the Premier League. If he will win the whole tournament and pick up the trophy, then he will prove me that I'm wrong. Nevertheless I can't deny that he was in a good form yesterday and that 160 checkout was really beautiful.

[@anthonymatute6057]

What a Hollywood Debut! I hope Chris can continue his impressive run!

[@yusufluhar5881]

Its great to have the Premier League back. I think everyone played well today but my word i cant believe Chris Dobey won on the night. I mean yeah he just won the masters but u would think on his PL debut hell be nervous or something but no, he looked focused before every walk on and didnt even smile. Kept it professional and just thought he has to do his business. What a fantastic debut from Hollywood, couldnt have got any better than that especially the final, beating MVG with a 160 checkout in a final leg decider after what happened just over a month ago in the WC quarters, that was a simply sensational finish from Dobey.

I must apologize for previous comment. I too along with the announcers was fooled by the camera optical illusion of the treble 13 dart. Good example however of how maybe the PDC should jump on the video review train that exists in professional sports today. With this high level of skill that these players have today, perhaps could mean the difference of winning big money that is coming the PDC way after the world attention the MVG vs Smith leg received.

Disgraceful that the scorer of the PDC gave a 121 finish for a win, when even the announcers knew it was not correct. This is not Friday night darts at the pub & just lost sooooo much respect for Peter Wright knowing he pulled his dart out of the 13 knowing it was not a treble.....glad it did not effect the outcome of the match!
