Lingering On Like a Bad Smell

After Dolan secured his place in the rest of this year's majors must be a few more we just can't get rid of. Pipe and Beaton being two.

How many more?

he;s very unlikely for the grand prix. does mean he'll be at the worlds and the PC final definitely.

Steve West seems to have done absolutely nothing of note for ages. still forecast to be in the top 32 post ally pally.

I don't mind Beaton to be fair, would much rather have him than King for example. Whitlock is another one, even though I suspect he'll be around for quite a few years.

Jamie Lewis horrendous throw living off a fluke run at the worlds

Andy Boulton just can't stand him

Ronny Huybrechts looks like he smells and is shit to be blunt

Ron Meulenkamp hate his face, throw and the way he acts like a dick

He was always likely to make the Worlds anyway, and is still unlikely to make the Grand Prix, this won't really have much immediate impact to Dolan apart from boosting his confidence really. Was pretty low on the Players Championship rankings before this, now basically guaranteed, but a double ET qualifying failure on Friday means he's up against it to make the Euros.

The likes of West and Webster show just how slowly the main OoM move, they shot their way up through sustained hard work, and it's taking a long time for them to fall back down. Mind you, next year they'll really need to do something or else they'll drop like a stone

Surely Whitlock won't be around for much longer, seems to be on his 9th life already, is in his 50s and seems to always have something up with him these days. Beaton might just keep jobbing along for a while yet. King is an odd one, thought he'd fall away a year or two ago, but he's having his best year in a fair while

Most of them have been mentioned already. Pleased Steve West is falling like a stone as well.

Cola Teeth Gilding is still hanging on though. And Matt Clark getting his Tour Card back was brilliant news :roll:

Pretty neutral on Jamie Lewis, but it's not nice to see him struggling so badly. Whatever it is, I hope he sorts it out gets back to being competitive on the tour at least

Will risk the wrath of a certain poster by saying Thornton.
Just never have enjoyed watching him.

In fairness I totally get that. Shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Dolan or Pipe as an all time great, but recently Thornton has contributed very little.

Big vinnie is another who I'm pretty sick of seeing.

When he was having his back problems in 2016(?) I never would have thought he'd be playing in the Matchplay and just outside the top 32 in 2019

When I saw the thread title, I thought it was a reference to Barney's farewell tour.

I think klaasen and Kim will tumble next year. I like both of them as players but neither seem to have the desire to fight to stay there.
Also Fatpot.. one of the most naturally gifted players but I hate watching him in his current guise.

Would definitely like to see Vindaloo disappear from the face of the earth.. he can fuck off to the bdo with hammer and wes
