Don't see any others
If you remember specific names I've missed would be easier to search that way.

An interview with Dazzler: https://www.live-darts.com/category/dar ... -20180917/
"The BDO has been going downhill for the last few years," Fitton told Live Darts.

"What the new Chairman has done is open the gates for more people to enter the tournaments. It's got to be a positive but no matter what he does, he'll have his fans and his haters, that's the problem with the BDO system."

"It's difficult in the BDO system, you're playing on different dartboards, different formats and throws. You could be playing in Holland or Belgium and have to wait until the person on the board next to you has thrown before you can throw, it's a cramped system. It makes things totally different and a lot harder."

"In the PDC, there's plenty of room, you can swing a cat."
Is anyone really surprised?

Yet despite all that room he wasn't anywhere close to good enough.
What a tool

Oh dear. Funny remembering how pompous he was about darts codes in his prime. All gone now. Time to be a bit quiet I think.

Amazed he is happy with more competition.
He's already proved he can't cope with pdc jobbers at q school.

Sounds like a lot of bitterness and self inflicted. Had he switched ten years back he would have earned a decent crust without ever troubling the top ten

Doubt he would have made the top 32.

Was a different time. Plenty of worse players made the top 32 back then. I mean, surely Fitton wasn't any worse than, say, Co Stompé? He was the #17 seed at the last Worlds before the tour card system came in.

Stompe was a lot better player than he got credit for.

This is the entitled attitude. Gimme gimme gimme. Real competitors put themselves in the situation to play the best, push their abilities to excel. Knowing that winning at the highest level will bring in the dosh.

Not for fat fucking Fitton it is all about what code gives him the opportunity to grope himself and pay him for it. The only thing worse is phantom begging for a tour card to be dispensed to him because he has no desire to put out effort or take any risk.

Dart players lazy fucks think they should get invitations just because of who they are and what they did a dogs age ago.

MVG: Daryl Gurney is not a tough opponent. I don’t think he’s good enough for the top eight in the world.
I know if I play good, it’s high unlikely that the rest beat me.
Wow. What a fucking wanker.

Both statements are probably true.
Taylor said the same about gurney.

lol I love it, he isn't saying anything really we don't already know. I like straight talking MvG. Couldn't stand that pussy Taylor and his patronizing "cracking little player". I like trash talking when a player backs it up; if you don't back it up keep your pie hole shut. I rate this trash talking from MvG as on the mild side.
