I doubt there will be a South/East European qualifier, but I suppose if the West European qualifier is held in Germany, it's possible that the Eastern European one is held in Austria but just not open to Austrians?

Perhaps the return of the Irish Matchplay? Albeit the finalists wouldn't get their time in the sun at the Grand Prix anymore

Of course not. I'm not deluded. At Ally Pally I couldn't see him getting past the last 16 stage

Duff would struggle to qualify for All Pally if he were a tour card holder.

He isn't a better player than Scott Mitchell or Scott Waites.

Mitchell and Waites are different gravy to Duff, I agree. In their hayday both top 8 players in the world. Duff was never top 32

Shit bait as usual.

In terms of ability Duff is pretty interchangeable with the likes of Mitchell, Waites (current version) Menzies, etc. In other words, he is at a similar level to players who are currently floating around qualifying for Ally Pally, and may or may not make it.

No need to. Duff is a prick. Comparing them to Mitchell and Waites is sacrilege

I agree, Albert Scerri had Cunt Duff wrapped around his finger at the weekend, he couldn't lace current Mitchell and Waites boots

Again we don't know how people will play during the PDC. Mitchell & Waites joined beyond their peaks IMO. Although both players can still do well within the PDC

Waites lost his card after 2 years and had to reclaim it at Q School. But yes, he did join the PDC when he was clearly past his prime.

Mitchell hasn't managed to qualify for the Matchplay, Grand Prix, or Grand Slam since joining the PDC. Maybe he just isn't as good as you, Thorn and others hoped. He was always overhyped imo.

Yes, some players take to the PDC better than others. However, I see little to suggest that Duff would crack the PDC's top 16 or even 32. He isn't a relatively young prospect like Noppert was. Neither has he shown anywhere near the ability that Duzza did prior to switching.
