Just a question.  Watched it tonight.  James Wade was booed every time he went for a double.  Anyone know why?  Seems like a decent chat.  Only 26 and a great talent.  Premier champion.  Or am I giving too much credit to the drunken mobs who attend such events?

Wade would be regarded as an arrogant ballix. In particular when he was on the circuit first, he developed his reputation of having a big head and a big mouth. I think he's improved in that regard, but he reacts poorly to any abuse he gets from the crowd, which just increases the abuse. The crowd only really go after him during the PL, because its become "part of the fun". King and Lewis get plenty of abuse too at times.

Wade is definitely a great talent, although going through a bit of a bad patch.

i know taylor was been booed for practically every throw Boycey but my point is that other players have been booed and i have never heard him say anything about it

I'm sure I've heard him on about it before when other players, usually Wade and King got it. Its generally harmless kind of a mob mentality thing but last night it got a bit out of hand and people were calling out as he was throwing. All players deserve respect when throwing but if you are 15 times World Champion you definitely do.

Taylor took some thumping from Jackpot tonight... The winds of change are nigh in the world of Darts
DRIVE THAT BALL ON!!

Taylor back on top but what about the fans in Glasgow throwing coins and beer at the current World Champ when he got on top of Anderson with 8 straight sets in a row. Sad stuff indeed but the two lads on stage never lost their cool.

There seemed to be some vermin at that tonight, I was flicking over to it and they were booing Wade and they were also booing Taylor.
