Your rather alarming darts opinions that we're worried you're serious about

[miguelking]

Darren Webster is a "cracking little player"

[Safc]

"Dean Winstanley is the best d17 hitter in the world"

[Randall]

Taylor left 166 165 etc on purpose

[Rogg]

Fordham would have beaten Taylor if it wasn't too hot in the venue

Don't be fooled dear readers. The Thorn actually believes this to be true.

Is there an argument for Fordham being top 10-15 all time? The year he won the worlds in the BDO was extremely strong. Merv King at his best, Barney, Adams, Hankey, Gando. Fordham just cut through the field like knife through butter.

He looks reasonably accustomed to encounters with butter.

In my all-time Top 20 for sure. As you say he beat a field of proper players to win the big one, arguably the strongest field of that decade.

1 good week gets him a place in the all time top 20?
Dellar as well?

Deller is above Bristow because he beat him.

Still hard to believe he spurned the shot at bull

An iconic warning from history from which few have managed to learn. MVG and Taylor doing it to each other and paying the price. It's a youtube compilation video that no-one seems to have made.

In a world final with the other guy sat on a finish for the title.
Must be the biggest brain fart in sporting history?

Could be. It's hard to compare it with other famous disasters. Generally people are at least attacking the object when they slip, snatch and choke.

You like haha chess? Any notorious comparable moments?

I dont recall any in world championship matches.
There was an occasion in a rapid game where carlsen blundered held his head in his hands and resigned immediately.

Jocky going for the wrong finish for the title was a pretty big brain fart. I suppose he got away with it though.

I think he was on 104 to win the 1989 World final. Hit T18, S14 and then went for tops instead of double 18.

I would have seen it at the time but not since

Not worth a rewatch if John Lowe isn't involved, right?

Arrogance.. Something about pride before the fall comes to mind.

Pre-2020 so no great surprise

[Rogg]

Contributions always welcome.


If Adams wins the seniors it will prove once and for all that the majority of Taylor's world titles are worth nothing.

No woman will ever win a major television championship in the pdc (featuring both men and women)

[Emulsfier]

Wade is less of a wanker than most make out.
