Ian, bless him, wouldn't make the cover of the New York Times if he shot the President.

If the shot was fired while the TV camera was rolling a miss would be guaranteed.

White must be seething if not selected. Correct me if I am wrong but he hasn’t played in any of the world series invitationals. Won a ET last year as well.
It's very noticeable how much he is blanked by Sky, almost never interviewed before or after games and during the world's not once was he mentioned when they were discussing top seeds going out or shocks it was "the likes of Barney, Smith, Cross". He'll never get picked for anything unless he breaks the door down himself and to me it seems like they make a conscious effort to give him and his name as little air as possible almost trying to airbrush him out so there are as few "what about Ian White" questions as possible after selections.

Why is the world series thread stickied? And half the others. Has Randall grown over-confident since his excellent bit of modding a couple of days ago?

Thought it would save searching for them when the time comes. They will naturally drop to the bottom of the sticky threads.

Well factually speaking, historically usually in and around 50% of each event is non tour card holders :p

No worries mate; mate. Was just Randull being his fat lazy modding self. Good to see that little bit of success didn't change him, mate.

Nordic Darts Masters Nordic/Baltic qualifiers announced. Nice little bonus for Larsson for getting his tour card, another guaranteed TV event for him. I wonder which Danish jobber Sherrock will draw? :lol:

Good stuff, I was a bit perplexed about the decision to bring a WS event to Denmark. But it's nice that those guys are getting a platform too. Looking forward to at least Darius, Razma and Larsson playing.
Spread positivity and love. BDO4LIFE

This could be Gurney's last year on the PL and World Series gravy train.

Gurney looks alright.

He's in trouble if he doesn't get results at the UK Open and Matchplay even if he is able to win Pro Tours. It would be a shame in a way, but it's his own fault for basically fucking off the entirety of last year.
