Then he said "needs to slow down"

Shouldn't it be the latter? I never understood this

‘Speed up’ ‘slow down’ it’s basic English

Virgo was the first I heard bastardise it (northern thing, perhaps?), but now a lot more are copying him. Ken is the next-worst culprit, but if Dom’s doing it too…

I'm sure there was a time Virgo would say "needs to pull up" before he inexplicably started the "slow up" nonsense instead.

Taylor says "needs to pull up" all the time too.

Just doesn't have that Crucible pedigree. Comparable to Robbo from that point of view although Robbo obviously at least won it once.

12-4 is a false lead.

Someone needs to point out to Hearn that the reason darts gets bigger crowds than snooker is cos they're having a piss-up and a sing-song (while watching a bit of darts). You can't compare the two.
