Best player since......

Post by **Justin Credible** » Wed Jul 13, 2011 8:52 pm

Since the PDC has been dominated by Taylor I will concentrate on the BDO.

Who in your opinion is the best or greatest player to win a world Title in the BDO since the split

Barney ?. Burnett ? Fordham ? Wallace ? Hankey ?

Interesting Gaz. Barney would have to be first pick but who knows how many Fordham could have won if he didn't get ill?

Got to be Barney, arguably the 2nd greatest player of all time, definitely one of the top 5 all time greatest

Les Wallace.

Then I think of Burnett who faded because of personal problems. So much potential and a game good enough to beat anyone

Top 5

Barney
Hankey
Burnett
Wallace
Fordham

were the list based on favoritism it would be different again.

and no I would not include Beaton, David, Webster, Walton, Klassen, Adams or Part

What are your reasons for not including them?

no reason, merely listing those that won that did not make my top five....in case anyone asks why did you leave out such a certain player.

I'd also have to say Barney for all his achievements although my personal favourite is Les Wallace.

It tells you what kind of retards are modding at TSoD when this topic got me banned on there.
They said it "might " be fishing as they got complaints.

Seems me posting the link of the dog watching lakeside last week which they also objected to and now their perception that I "might" be fishing is enough to ban members.
If I was a paranoid person I might believe the Mods had an agenda.

I don't see anything wrong with the subject matter to be honest

I have no qualms about being banned, what I do find a pathetic joke is that Dave(spaceman) who I like pm'd me to say I got a warning.No reason was given so i replied with a pm asking why. I was told they got a number of complaints that i might be fishing with the thread.

Fishing was never a banning offense, but "might be" fishing IS. ...or at least when its me making the posts.
The fact that the same members who derailed the thread to make personal insults to me and accuse me of trying to stir shit had the nerve to complain that I was upsetting people is almost laughable.

Imagine my surprise when mod500 and nikki log in and change the warning dave gave me to a ban.
The same 2 mods who I mentioned ages back had an agenda.
Quickly Admin then formulated a different reason to the one dave sent me...now it claimed it was my slagging of Oche that was the reason for the ban......never mind I was only replying to him, or that other people in the thread said worse.

I can't comment for Nick, Mod and Space and I also never saw the thread Gaz. I do feel there's nothing wrong with the subject matter but we all know how many threads of this nature have been derailed with trolling in the past.

Post by **Justin Credible** » Thu Jul 14, 2011 8:16 am

from the initial post i was accused of trolling, despite numerous posts insisting it was not fishing plus debating the reasons for my choice others seemed intent on causing grief and spreading accusations while having the nerve to complain to the mods about me and what I might be up to.

It seems I can am not allowed to start a thread on the bdo for fear it "might" be seen as upsetting to others or god forbid I might say something negative about the BDO.

Anyhow back on track

After winning the masters in 94, lakeside in 95 and getting to the final again in 96 there is no doubt he was well capable of mixing it.
Likewise Les Wallace also had his personal demons , as did andy fordham , with his health issues.

were it not for that I believe the 3 of them would have achieved a whole lot more in the game.
