Taylor is very short of opportunities to qualify for this, especially if he's not in the World Cup and Champions League.

ps. this tournament is horrific in too many ways to count. Looking forward to seeing Cadby though.

[Justin Credible]

we already have 9 useless cunts in it....benny van peer and the whole bdo contigent

[Limp Wrist]

"The eight BDO qualifiers shall be drawn randomly" - well Durrant's face does look like a Piccasso painting...

[Potter's Lake]

I hope the BDO do throw in their token munter and it ends up in Cadby's group.

Just think about what you typed about Taylor and let that sink in. Seriously in the history of this event who would have ever thought as long as Taylor was playing that he might not qualify for this. Good thing is I think the game is going to be just fine in the future with out Taylor. Would be nice if fatpot got his shit together and started playing up to his ability. I could see Taylor fans globbing onto him as lets be honest one fat fuck from stoke is as good as another fat fuck from stoke

[StevieBoy]

Taylor no longer required, words you thought you would never live to see lol

[The Ginge Reaper]

Would Taylor even bother to enter the qualifying event?

[cannibal]

Would Taylor even bother to enter the qualifying event?

I want to say no, but otoh he is running out of time to win another major and he needs to take advantage of every opportunity that he can if that is his goal. And I think right now that is the only goal that is keeping him playing at this point. So who knows. If I was a gambling man I would say no for the right price.

[Justin Credible]

I agree, I could not see him enter the qualifier.

Still you only need look at how every players champ was won by a different player, taylor is as good as most of them despite him being far from his best so could still qualify with a couple of comps but the problem is he is only entering the majors and that means MVG blocking him

Another fat fuck from Stoke...that narrows it down. Fat fuck's from Stoke is a broad topic. Adrian Lewis, Andy Hamilton, and Ted Hankey come to mind. Do you know of any dark horse fat fuck's from Stoke that everyone else should be aware of?

[Lister of Smeg]

Jim you fiddler or transvestite gook children, stop trying to fit in. Everyone here hate's you, you boring old cunt so do us and yourself a favour and fuck off.

You must be a fat fat fuck from Stoke.

[Justin Credible]

no...thats ted hankey you are thinking off

Phil is scaling down as he's been saying all year long.... If he doesn't win the Matchplay which he always value I think he might have a go for the Qualifiers in order to play the Grand Slam....

No chance he would show up at qualifiers.

Gets to you doesnt it

[twathammer]

I can't see the point in any BeeDoh being put in this event anymore - they bring nothing except dogshit and misplaced ego.

Maybe they should put in the regional OoM merit leaders from PrisonLand etc, would bring more variety to the table.

And less shit
