Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Found Smith's "every tournament is just practice for the World's" comment very strange, as I do most times he tries to say anything of substance. That's not a mentality you would hear any top player in any sport have, real mental midget stuff.dartsweekly wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 5:01 pm A bonus podcast as we were joined by Michael Smith and Peter Wright on the eve of the Champions League this weekend

I hope the bastard never wins a major, and with that approach, he never will.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
He says "You spend all year working your arse off really to be in the Top 16 for the seeds" when he skipped half of them this year and was rubbish in the ones he went to. I've heard him say he can't get up for the floor events either so seems like he's happy with the money he's banked in the last year and thinks he's above slumming it now. He'll regret this attitude inside 18 months when his big money starts coming off his ranking cos he won't get gifted a run to the World's final every year.Malanax wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 8:58 am https://dartsnews.com/smith-admits-hung ... e-at-home/

The constant crowd abuse is getting very tedious., however complaining it to racist attacks is just plain stupid.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Live Darts one of the better outlets for darting news. At least they ask decent questions maybe not as hard hitting as I would like but better than the rest.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
In goes the boot, possibly by a Canadian but who's concentrating? It's always a joy:

https://nnsl.com/nwtnewsnorth/congrats- ... -montreal/
And finally …
Good Idea: Finalizing the draw for the World Masters darts tournament.
Bad Idea: Finalizing the draw for the World Masters darts tournament with fake names.
There’s a reason why the British Darts Organization is looked upon as a joke by some these days and its latest stunt didn’t do anything to repair the reputation.
The BDO has hosted the World Masters tournament since 1974 and it’s the oldest major tournament still in operation. This year’s edition was held in Purfleet, England featuring players from around the world that qualified to be there. Including those who didn’t even exist.
It all began with all qualified players being forced to pay an entry fee to play. What tournament on the planet forces its participants to pay an entry fee for what they’ve qualified for? Ridiculous. Some of the international players didn’t pay the fee (because they weren’t told they had to) and weren’t in the original draw. Because of that, Des Jacklin, the BDO’s chairman, announced there would be a redraw of the players.
Jacklin took the blame. Alright, fine. Mistakes are going to happen but then the fake name business came in. The apparent reason why is because they could be replaced with real players if too many showed up. Anyway, the redraw occurred, which caused more confusion because no one knew what board they were playing on and there were no scorers at each board either, causing more confusion.
And imagine Keith Way of Yellowknife had the chance to play in this dosh but turned it down. He went to Romania instead for the World Cup, where at least organizers there had a clue.
It finally got sorted out and the tournament actually happened with a real winner in the end – John O’Shea of Ireland – but the BDO has been mercilessly mocked and harangued because of this. Can’t wait to see what its version of the world championship will look like. The Professional Darts Corporation, where anyone who has any sort of skill plays, will be dishing out more than $4 million in December. Who knows what the BDO will be handing out?
Until next time, folks …

Seems like it was translated into another language then back to English.
Still makes more sense than anything Chizzy says.
