2024 World Seniors Season

[Rogg]

Dean Allsopp, bloody hell. I've not seen that name for about a century. A name from the early days of the Phil's Darts Club.

Trivia question.

Where did the "Phil's Darts Club" moniker seemingly originate?

I suspect either Rogg or PT13 will know.

Bobby George?

Correct.

Do you know where he spouted it?

I did hear him saying it on TV once, which must have been the bbc's lakey coverage, but that's all I recall.

Part through to the next round wins 4-1 vs Stephen Fanning

[TheMalteseDart]

No Barrie Bates is disappointing

Go stand in the corner and think about what you did

Great lad

He used it on his personal website. Taylor makes reference to it in his first book.

George's website is the one of the first darts site I remember visiting. Probably due to the reference to it in Taylor's book.

No Singleton in the line up

Oh right. Bobby seems to think of himself as a king of the zinger and he's probably right. Do you remember how Taylor referenced it? Probably took it as a compliment knowing him.

Mitchell beats Haines 4-0

Hamilton is also through

After checking back, George actually used it in his Darts World column.

From Taylor's book (page 147)

Bobby George, who has never won a World Championship but who still sets himself up as a guru of the game, never misses a chance to scoff at "Phil's Darts Club", as he calls the PDC in his Darts World column

George did have a personal website where he took shots at the PDC though. I'm not misremembering that.

Fuck knows how I ended up visiting it though.

Thanks for looking it up. No winners there, it's all very snide.

"Thats the way to do it" it was called.

George used to post lengthy responses to someone called "pro-life" on there IIRC.

I'll have to search Wayback at some point to try and find it.

[oche balboa]

Will have a look at his website on archive to see what he said

You were right.

The "That's The Way To Do It" section of his website was actually just a link to a Darts World articles - https://web.archive.org/web/20060301041 ... he_Way.htm

Those are the articles I must have read.

I probably searched for George's Darts World articles online after reading Taylor's book and was directed to his website.
