VIDEO: Phil Taylor snubs Barney's congratulations after semi-final win

The Power will face Michael van Gerwen in the Ally Pally decider.

WHAT DO YOU make of this then?

Michael van Gerwen will face 15-time champion Phil Taylor in the World Darts Championship final.

Mighty Mike went  close to an historic back-to-back nine-dart finishes in his semi-final win over James Wade this evening at the Ally Pally.

Later however in the other semi-final, Taylor limped over the line against his arch-rival Raymond van Barneveld. The Power ultimately closed it out a 6-4 after letting slip a four-set lead. And this happened:

    Taylorโ€™s always come across as a bit of an arse.

    WHAT IS UP WITH TAYLOR.? THESE DAYS HE IS ALWAYS ACTING THE MAGGOT. NO DOUBT HE WILL HAVE SOME LAME EXCUSE AND BLAME โ€GENTLEMANโ€ BARNEY FOR SOME LITTLE INDISCRETION DURING THE GAME.

    Taylor is in trouble with his game and he knows it. The amount of times he missed double 16 is unheard of. Heโ€™s fine until heโ€™s put under pressure and van gerwen can do that to him. He realised in the interview afterwards he made an arse of himself and tried to backtrack. I hope MVG sticks it to him in the final.

    the worst thing you can do with taylor is wind him upโ€ฆor tryโ€ฆthats what bareny did beforehand. of all d people to try to get toโ€ฆ.taylor is the last one id b choosin.if barmey had conxlcentrated on his darts he might have won as he plays well with his new darts.
    taylor has always acted the maggot on and off the oche. he has had issues with other players and off the oche with his family. acting the maggot is common practiseโ€ฆstill thoughโ€ฆwhat a playerโ€ฆpure unadulterated classโ€ฆhelas retired many a playerโ€ฆlike mardle for example.hes taken the easy money from sky.

    Barney didnโ€™t appear to be trying and can throw significantly better than he the threw last night. similarly, Wade played poorly against van gerwen. Not suggesting anything untoward but van gerwen v Taylor will attract a bigger viewing than wade v Barney. Darts couldnt be fixed, could it?

    not even a tiny bit possible? Taylor might have been pi$$ed at Barney for throwing a bag of nails deliberately. Barney looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but playing darts last night.
