Re: The Split in Darts---Blood on the Carpet
I like Eric Bristow a lot. For all his apparent arrogance, he always tells it like it is which people don't like.

Re: The Split in Darts---Blood on the Carpet
people go on about how taylor made the pdc popular, and while sky promote him and he has dominated the sport brissy was the real guy to put darts on the map.Arrogant cocky and damn talented to boot.
Also while he was dominant he had other great players around him at the time more than capable of beating him in lowe, anderson jocky etc which created fantastic grudge battles.
I love watching his old games , pint in hand tobacco smoke everywhere and giving it large.Seems to have mellowed a lot in recent years but always up front and honest, just as bobby george was/is

Bobby is a lot more humble I think. Bristow is the only one on Sky who has the balls to say what he thinks of players.

bristow acknowledge the greatness of taylor, he spotted it before anyone else, and even he does not pull the hype crap that sky, sid, rod clarke and the others do.

Re: The Split in Darts---Blood on the Carpet
just watched this again earlier, what a fucking pair of muppets olly and his missus were in that.
"darts is my baby"
"i dont employ anyone"
lorna croft says she doesn't swear, cox said exactly what she said then backtracked.
cox - "they were shouting scum at us" but according to olly that happens in the houses of parliament, yeah very good moley.
id say theres a genuine chance we'd have the current bdo offering on tv still even if there was no split, him and his blazers shouldn't even be running a stall at the circus.

Re: The Split in Darts---Blood on the Carpet
just watched the full version again and really can't help thinking is was a real opportunity missed by both sides. So much common ground was swept aside at the whim of a few.
Had there not been all entrenched we could have now the same amount of darts on the box and one world champion. Cox and Croft have a lot to answer for

When you actually feel anger over a place like this it's time to get a life

Re: The Split in Darts---Blood on the Carpet
at least cox acknowledged the bdo, was involved in the attempt to buy out.
Olly on the other hand thought the game was his and his alone.
He could sit back on the expense account off the back of players.the same players he claimed he did not owe a living while he made one of them.
If that was not bad enough he not only could not help them with their living he went out of his way and illegally I might add in stopping those from making one for themselves and their families.
A truly horrible vile disgusting cunt.

Re: The Split in Darts---Blood on the Carpet
I'm currently trying to translate that great documentary in french and I would need some help for these extracts :
@ 00:37 : "I could see my official allowing me to do that" : who are these "officials" ?
@ 00:45 : "just give xxx (Wayne ?)" : who is this "Wayne" ?
@ 21:20 : "if anybody asked even though it's a lad. you know what I mean when they say about lad, it's not just true by the way" : what does Mike Gregory mean here ?
@ 32:16 : "I think I did coil (????) etc" : what did she do ???
Thank you for your precious help !!!

@00:16 I suppose he is just talking about the other members of the governing board of the BDO, unless anyone wants to correct me on that.The French wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 5:36 pm

@00:45 He is saying "Just give it away, just give it to them?"
@21:20 He is talking about Lada, the car manufacturer who sponsored the events he won. As the company is originally from the soviet union, the cars had a bad rep which Gregory is saying is not true.
@32:16 I think she said "I think I did call Ollie after", but maybe might have said "I think I did cry after", but its really tough for me to make out. I lean strongly to the first one though.

Re: The Split in Darts---Blood on the Carpet
Aw Emu, you beat me. I did it too.
@ 00:37 : His 'officials' I guess would be his staff - the people that help him run the BDO. The people who run county darts etc.
@ 00:45 : I think he says 'Just give way'? As in, just step aside and let them take what they what.
@ 21:20 : He's saying 'Lada', which is a type of car. It had a bad reputation, for being a crap car. Lada sponsored the early PDC (WDC) tournament that Mike Gregory is talking about there, and the winner won a Lada car.
@ 32:16 : I don't know, lol. 'I think I did coil'... I guess she means that she felt coiled up, like a coiled up spring, and angrily snapped at them, swearing etc. I don't know though.
