You condemned a higher standard the last two weeks, which is it?
It's all relative. From midway through the last 32 at Ally Pally it was very good. The problem was it took 10 or 11 days to get to that stage from the start of the event.

The first round was long and boring. Of the 32 matches there may have been 5 or 6 which were entertaining. The rest of it was either uncompetitive or shite. All this while Sky blatantly lied to people's faces about how good it was, tried to whitewash Ted Hankey and Paul Lim from history and took a six or seven minute break after nearly every set.

It's relative though. The first seven or eight days at Ally Pally weren't up to the standard that the PDC usually puts on TV. Even the PDC fans on here were saying "wait until the last 16/32", which is basically acknowledging that over half your tournament falls well below expectations.

On the other hand, the Amateur BDO don't have as many good players but their tournament has been better than pretty much all the recent Lakesides. As such, it has exceeded expectations.

If they have more televised tournaments and their games are of a better standard then that's success.

I've put him on ignore. He's a tedious bastard who thinks he is some kind of genius. But the main reason I don't want to read anything he writes is because he's a predator of children and I wish to have no dealings with that kind of person.

I see Lee Evans and Steve Willard from the Swindon area are on the Q/School entry list.

Both seriously good players, Lee is only young and could do well in the future.
Steve's knocking on a bit now but a seriously good player.

Good luck to them.

Hope he does go. Played pretty well this week.

I think the likes of Norris, Kong, Wilson and Durrant could help add more depth to the 1st round at Ally Pally

Even if they are never going to threaten Gando, Taylor, Lewis and MVG. They can improve the quality of the PDC Worlds, at least in the early rounds.

Wilson has got to be the most overrated player of the best decade.

Where did all this james wilson hype come from? He's a nice enough scorer but his doubles are fucking miles away.

he was never going at any stage

id say he will play less darts next year as he has lakeside exemption, tho id expect him to redeclare for England and maybe even captain them at nations cup in february
