Racist
Since when is "Maltese" a race?

Idiot!
The Maltese (Maltese: Maltin) people are an ethnic group native to Malta who speak Maltese, a Semitic language. Malta is an island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Included within the ethnic group defined by the Maltese people are the Gozitans (Maltese: Għawdxin) who inhabit Malta's sister island, Gozo.
Didn't know this.
The language is basically Arabic but written in the Latin script with lots of Italian, French and English words

I think there is a debate to be had about whether Mardle is underrated as a player.

Fine, we'll continue discussing non-entities like Pecker Woods then.

Mardle made the semis of the PDC Worlds 4 times. He also made the semi-final of the 2001 BDO Worlds.

To date, Wade has made the semi final of the PDC Worlds 4 times.

Not a good comparison, Wade is a proven winner(just not at worlds)

Randall merely asked if they made the same amount of semi-finals.

Of course, Wade ranks way above Mardle overall.

Thanks. Please state your opinions of him in the corresponding thread.

I will do one on Mardle because I see there is interest in him. But I want to keep shining light on players who haven't been discussed as much. Mardle is constantly discussed with or without me posting it. So that will remain the main direction of the series. But please feel free to give more suggestions

Aye.

I'm genuinely not sure if Mardle is underrated or the opposite, but I think there would be a debate to be had. With Pecker Woods there wasn't.

Have we done Colin Lloyd yet?

No. I will do Mardle or Lloyd today. I will flip a coin to pick which one
