As an aside, I have just been blown off by Deta

What were you asking?

Very good mate

In some hellhole in Nottingham doing a wedding. Can't wait to get out of here.

Lay back and think of the money mate

[Randall]

Nottingham is a nice enough place.
Even if sat nav has no idea where half the roads go.

Official world champion
A game that history has long forgotten

[Rogg]

Yes. Murder to watch, that.

That's probably the first occurrence of the word OFFICIAL as a description for the properdarts. I prefer the cover version myself, the one that doesn't make me want to cut open all my veins with a spoon. Scum.

[Randall]

All these years later it remains the worst world final ever played.
Yes even worse than that waites Garbage.

Without looking is that Adams going arse over tit?

Other than his 7-1 spanking by Taylor in the wdt final that is my favourite moment of his career.

I remember John Part saying in a website interview that winning the 2003 World Championship was the greatest moment in his darts career, not only because of the huge achievement of beating Phil Taylor after Taylor had won the last 8 World Championships in a row, but also because it had laid to rest all the politics about 1994 and the fallout from the split.

The 1993 Embassy final between Lowe and Warriner was awful, too. They were both averaging in the high 70s for most of the match, way below their standard of previous matches, particularly Warriner.

[Randall]

What did he average in that final?
82?

What, no "professional"?

And I clearly haven't watched enough darts from that era - what the hell was George's walk-on with the candelabra all about?

Lowe and warriner didn't give a fuck that year, they knew they were off to the promised land, they were just going through the motions.

A chav twenty five years before the world even knew what one was.

Gino Vos, 2009? http://www.dartsdatabase.co.uk/EventRes ... ntKey=2058

Vos played Loowis in the first round at Ally Pally 2013. He had a couple of darts to go up 2-1 in sets, if memory. Atrocious match.

[Jamie Craven]

ratajski will surely give it a go
be great if either veenstra/de vos/harms tried it but not likely
