I was shocked as well. In a match where he'd fancy winning by a few legs anyway I don't think that leg was a do or die one which may have lead to him not correcting the scorer. Poor, poor form.

I thought Bristow got on much better with him than that?

But you're right it's poor-form.

Plus- how can Taylor say he was "unaware"? That's total lies as surely when he walked up to pick it out he realised it was clearly out?

Lost a lot of respect for him.

It is possible he did not know it missed. Once the caller says game shot Taylor isnt going to inspect the dart position as he goes to take them out. He was probably talking to the caller as he walked up and you dont have to look at the darts as you take them out.

99% of the time a player would be fully aware, but lets give Taylor the benefit of the doubt and say he is a 1 percenter.

I don't think you can cheat your way to 16 world titles.

however, Taylor DID cheat in Gibraltar.

I don't even play pub standard, just at home with my mates, and we never call a shot that aint in, ever.

for a man of Taylors standing and experience to "miss" a call like this is unbelievable.

he cheated, pure and simple.

he must of known when he went to retrieve his darts, how could you not?

lost a lot of respect for Phil now.
