What has been said?

Phil Taylor revealed that he is considering taking up commentary full-time.

Speaking ahead of the World Seniors Matchplay, the darts legend said: "I'm looking forward to it [commentating], depending on what games they give me!

"If they want younger people [in the future] that's fine. I'm not too worried about it.

"But I wouldn't want to be away from home week in week out like I used to be.

"With my experience I can sometimes tell what pressure they're under and what they're thinking at that particular time.

"Sometimes you can just tell they're not going to hit the double."
