Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
What a prick. Only thing that's proved is that you've been shite for years and you just want to have a good moan. Wade v King will be an interesting second round tie, who can make the most excuses in the post match interview.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Lloyd was saying the same thing on the darts podcast. As a player he hated the format now as a viewer he likes it. For me it creates genuine drama seeing 'top' players panicking. Bottle is part of darts, it doesn't matter I dislike MVG he blew Hughes away. Hughes folded like a pack of cards!

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
You'd have thought that one of the best doublers in the game (and a tops/20s player at that) would like the format, but hey ho. What does he want, tame standard legplay all year?Rogg wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 4:51 pm Wade. Sympathy xx

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
I'm pretty sure most players don't like the format, especially the first round. But it's another thing to call it wrong, which it isn't. Shut the fuck up or don't even play in the tournament.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Could we see Duzza potentially turning down an invitation for the Grand Slam as a BDO representative in favour of turning up to the qualifiers (if he doesn't make a TV final) in order to ensure the money would go on his OoM?

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
No, why would he do that? He doesnt have any pressure to shoot up the main OoM.
Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
But he's well capable of going on a run, and it would be handy for him to avoid a hard draw at the Worlds. Let's say he makes the semis, £40k could be the difference between him playing MvG in round 3, or someone like Ian WhiteThe Ginge Reaper wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 3:03 pm No, why would he do that?

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Only an idiot would turn down an 100% guaranteed spot in an event in place of running the gauntlet of a qualifier.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Agreed. I doubt he'll play MVG/Cross/Anderson at Ally Pally anyway, he'll be higher than 30 for sure. So it barely makes a difference.The Ginge Reaper wrote: ↑Thu Oct 10, 2019 3:35 pm Only an idiot would turn down an 100% guaranteed spot in an event in place of running the gauntlet of a qualifier.
Just a random example but Gurney didn't make the GS last year. He was world no.5 I think and it's fair to say he was a better player than Durrant is now. A qualifier is always a crapshoot.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
The way he spoke basically confirmed Bennett wont be at the slam. Good. Shitheads deserve no handouts.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
I'd also be glad if Bennett missed out. Not because he's been acting the prick too many times recently. Simply don't think a 13 year old should have anything to do with a PDC major. If he qualifies from the men's field, maybe fair enough. But the BDO world youth title barely means fuck all. No one protested for Joshua Richardson (who?) to be in the Slam a couple years ago.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
And Glen also believes he can inspire other BDO players to try and follow in his footsteps.
"There are some tremendous players in the BDO, I think they could be watching me and thinking, 'I've got to get over to the PDC'," he says.
"I know there's a huge gulf. But I think players in the BDO like Wesley Harms,Richard Veenstra and Jim Williams will be watching my progress and thinking about Q-School.
"I've never said a bad word about the BDO and never will, they helped me achieve my dreams and more. But the PDC is the place to be, it's the Premier League."
