This year in darts has been crazy. Mansell against Lukeman in the semi-finals of the Grand Slam of Darts, who would have thought it? I just love Cameron Menzies and his over-the-top behavior. It's certainly not for everyone, but he doesn't pretend to be anything he's not. After the game, I thought he would never let go of Mansell again. It's now a realistic scenario to see Mickey Mansell in a major final. Without wanting to offend him, I would never have thought that possible. But at the latest since Andrew Gilding's UK Open victory last year, we know that older players also have a chance of winning big tournaments. So why not Mickey Mansell as well? But of course it's also a great chance for Martin Lukeman. In any case, we'll have a surprise finalist who nobody expected.
What a quarter final match from Mansell and Menzies and it is an absolute classic in Wolverhampton and well played the Clonoe Cyclone and Cammy and i love you jumping in the air on the stage Mickey Mansell as well and what a game you have fellas 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓❤❤❤🤍🤍🤍❤❤❤💙💙💙🤍🤍🤍💙💙💙👏👏👏🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I don't think he is "match-fit". After 31 legs of Darts, he was sweating and looked extremely tired. (I could never throw at a dart board for over 30 legs. My arm would be needing ice and a cortisone injection) I think Cam needs to hit the "fitness regime" before the Worlds kick-off, as I'll be putting money on the lovable Scot.
Thoughts below: Didn't think I'd say this, but we already gonna have a new major finalist after tonight. AGAIN. More brilliant stories in darts in 2024. Mickey was a little fortunate considering he missed a lot of doubles, but he did give himself more opportunities than Cameron did. He just got on with stuff though, just kept his head down so credit to him for that. Martin has really surprised me so far this tournament. I thought Rob had an easy way into the final quite frankly, but no. He got outplayed near the end after what was a close match. Let's see what the other half brings tomorrow. Can't wait!
If Wattimena and Van Veen can win their matches, we'll be guaranteed to have 3 new major winners in 3 tournaments. regardless of their wins, this tournament shall at least know a new winner, exciting stuff for sure!
Mickey mansell v Martin lukeman semi final Hands up who predicted this❤ But yet again for the 3rd major tournament running it shows us than everyone on the tour can play the game and have there day Brilliant to see The Menzies pantomime needs to stop and cross should have been out of site early doors in his match but brilliant stuff either way Let's hope tomorrow is even better This is why we love darts
I thought Lukeman was great tonight, really outplayed Rob Cross. I might get some disagreement from some but I thought the other pair were a bit average. Luthman to the final for me
Menzies is irritating. He hits a 140 and walks back from the oche shaking his head as if in disgust. I believe he's a better player than Mansel but I am pleased he lost.
After such a brilliant game, with incredible sportsmanship shown by Menzies at the end to calm the crowd, I find that a strange comment personally. He's an incredibly emotional character as everyone can see, and the long format no doubt exacerbated that.
@apocalypso1564 He’s been doing long enough to get a grip of himself. It’s ridiculous. Also, forcing a hug before a final leg is just as bad as calming the crowd down is good. Happy he lost, he’s an absolute weapon
@@WestCoastWilliam he's in his first major quarter final, unknown territory. Considering how he suffers from anxiety - and it wouldn't surprise me if he has ADHD - he has to find those coping mechanisms, and as someone who is actively seeking an assessment I can relate to his state of mind. He was immediately apologising for his behaviour to James Wade after their match, and I've no doubt he'd be feeling the same way about some of his actions tonight. How that makes him a 'weapon' is beyond me.
He's certainly a bag of nerves I can relate a bit .it's hard to have to wait a day to play again rather than just playing same day but he has to adapt to compete. Frustrating as a fan knowing how good Cameron can be but he's his own worst enemy.world championship same kinda format playing different days so I don't expect him to go deep unless he gets through some of his mental issues
A weapon? oh ffs... your calling him that and especially when there could be something going on there that we don't know, like ADHD maybe for example, which he cannot control. Cmon like..
anyone happen to know who the woman at 33:09 is? seems to have been considerably emotionally engaged, so wondered if she's somehow attached to Martin Lukeman..... doesn't look like yer average darts audience.
Pretty sure he said in one of his post-match interviews that his main inspiration for playing is his wife, who has been battling serious illness. I can imagine it could be her.
I´m wondering, do darts players think that by shaving all the hair off their heads it will give them an advantage? Like swimmers? What next? nasal strips?
I don't like either of Cross or Lukemans throws...cross always looks like his darts have layer chewed chewing gum that he finds difficult to seperate from while throwing Lukemans throw is very unattractive...similar to Joyce, he doesn't appear to looking from behind, l think Mansell will be a finalist
Well done Smash Martin Lukeman you are in the semi finals at the grand slam of darts on your Debut and what a brilliant come back against the world champion and last year's runner up Rob Cross and it's fantastic as well 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤🤍🤍🤍🤍❤❤❤❤🙂🙂🙂🙂

And there were Humphries, Chizzy, Noppert, Cross and couple more high ranked folks.
But Mickey and Cam on top that pile. Ain't it beautiful?
Menzies showed a lot of class at the end.
Never thought we see a semi final like this and it’s crazy to think.
1/4 final
@@Rocky0RoadNo, quarter final
@@Rocky0Road he means a semi between the two winners here
@@josefstrudelowski 1/4 is a quarter
@@Rocky0Road No. 1/4 33.3%
Man I just love the darts!! Even if I genuinely thought it was grant and Phil mitchel playing the second match. Top darts

I like Menzies but he needs to just internalize some of his emotions a little bit.
Menzies was absolute Class when Mansell threw for the last 59 score !!! Great Spirit & Victory !!
I respect him massively for that. Especially in that kind of situation.
@@xtheamazingax Especially after the De Decker and Littler game yesterday with the whistling.
Menzies is a class act, he's just a nice, genuine guy!!
Menzies is not only wildly entertaining but a genuinely decent bloke. I hope he makes the top 32 and wins a major sometime soon.
I don't think he is "match-fit". After 31 legs of Darts, he was sweating and looked extremely tired. (I could never throw at a dart board for over 30 legs.

I was there tonight and Mansell gave me his flights and I was rlly happy with them and I wish Mansell the best in the semis
Lukeman played great tonight!
Lukeman played his a off
Well done
Menzies turns into a favorite player, good guy
This spoiler block is brought to you by Hawaii 501
So that's why he wasn't commentating tonight!
I see
@@xtheamazingaxI guess he couldn't spake
BELLY LAUGH OUT OF THE WEEK AWARD 🏆 @@Maxxx568

That's right! Awesome time tobwatch some darts.
Menzies Vs Mansell everything darts needs :)
That micky mansel celebration is just so incomplete ahahah 18:30 , but kudos, great darts
Thank you for uploading
Tf u mean? This is PDC official account, is their job 😂
There are not enough superlatives to do justice to just how well Martin played tonight.
Other than the 2 Lukes and probably MVG, the field for the remaining spots in the Premier League is wide, wide open
I think Rob Cross is safe too
Cross will be at least no.3 after Worlds. Maybe even no.2. He'll be there 💯
Right now he just needs to match MvG's performances to pass him.
Yeah. Cross for sure. But they'll be some duff inclusions again no doubt.
Is Rob Cross the most respectful player when he loses ? If not must be in top few.
Amazing couple of games stoked for Mickey & Smash 💪
Mickey mansell v Martin lukeman semi final
Hands up who predicted this❤
But yet again for the 3rd major tournament running it shows us than everyone on the tour can play the game and have there day
Brilliant to see
The Menzies pantomime needs to stop and cross should have been out of site early doors in his match but brilliant stuff either way
Let's hope tomorrow is even better
This is why we love darts
I thought Lukeman was great tonight, really outplayed Rob Cross. I might get some disagreement from some but I thought the other pair were a bit average. Luthman to the final for me
🎯♥🎵 THUMBS UP IF YOU LOVE THE DARTS! 🎵♥🎯
Mickey mansell 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cammy defo had a line of Gianluca during the break.
Cool dog picture
Game on!
gruelling for all 4 players.... but fitting that matches went all the way. excellent stuff!!!!!
🚫SPOILER BLOCKER 🚫
Lol. You re like an hour late for that 😂😂
Forcing a hug before a final leg is absolutely ridiculous. Menzies needs his head checked
Rob Cross is on top!
Menzies acts like he's been shot
Indeed he does! He makes the game I love so much more entertaining! Cheers to Cameron!
Lukeman Mansell semifinal was inevitable, I thought Rob Cross was pathetic after leading 5-1.
Cameron just can't seem to focus in he's a bag of nerves. Not sure if he can get help with this or not but he needs coaching
Menzies is irritating. He hits a 140 and walks back from the oche shaking his head as if in disgust. I believe he's a better player than Mansel but I am pleased he lost.

Cross screwed up on his own 😂😂😂🤦🤦🤦
Cross needs more water
What better start could you have hoped for...what happened...you found it a bar of soap... didn't you Cammy!
I´m wondering, do darts players think that by shaving all the hair off their heads it will give them an advantage? Like swimmers? What next? nasal strips?
not first =(
I don't like either of Cross or Lukemans throws...cross always looks like his darts have layer chewed chewing gum that he finds difficult to
seperate from while throwing
Lukemans throw is very unattractive...similar to Joyce,
he doesn't appear to looking from behind, l think Mansell will be a finalist
Doesn't help playing so a slow slow boring pace
Mansell is just like watching mold grow...
What's the history made?
@RussellMutch It's obvious when you've watched it u mong
First 😂
