There is an audio interview there. Not listened yet.

Players on the front page of the BDO rankings who have done q-school and won tour cards in the past 2 years were all in their 20s: De Graaf, Hendriks, Razma, Lennon. Don't think there was anyone else. That's the way it's going.

Seems unlikely that anyone ranked up there who's much older than that will ever do q-school now, and I include Duzz in that. A few are younger, and could be possibles. I will do/have a breakdown at some point.

Some choice comments.

When asked if he would have accepted an automatic tour card onto the PDC circuit, rather than playing at Q-School a few days after winning his maiden world title, Durrant said: “Yes, I would have took the card.

“I think only people who won Lakeside (know), there’s no way I could throw a dart three days after winning Lakeside. Absolutely no way. Emotionally, physically, the last thing on my mind was playing darts.

“The pressure of being the favourite and the number one seed (at Lakeside) really got to me this year and my body sort of shut down as soon as that winning double went in.

“I’d of got walloped at Q-School, I just wouldn’t have been mentally ready for that.

I wish he'd just do it, instead of talking about it every 6 months.

The most successful bdo cunt since ando , barney etc fucked off was bunting.....and he raped the bdo before his switch.,
In fat bunting was battering the snot out of durrant back then.

If bunting cannot cope with the top 20, let alone the top 8 what chance does phantom of the opera have should he ever grow a set of balls the ugly jobber cunt.

The BDO does have that effect on people.

I think he enjoys the drama and the trollol and fair play to him for that but yes, this is the final time that anyone will be able to care about it probably. Fitton played at this for about 40 years and they call Wright a clown. Farcical.

The mentality in Glen Durrant's comments is all wrong for the PDC. In the PDC, you are constantly put under pressure, put in uncomfortable situations in matches and a relentless schedule, and forced to find answers to your opponent's good play. Even Michael van Gerwen is put under this kind of pressure pretty often, and he has to find the answers or his opponents will start losing fear of him. That van Gerwen usually does find the answers is why he is as dominant as he's been.

When Raymond van Barneveld switched in 2006, he had the perfect mentality for the PDC at the time, as he had clear goals like doing a televised 9-darter, beating Phil Taylor on TV, and winning the PDC World Championship. He did them all in less than 1 year. There was none of that "oh, I don't want to play darts in 3 days" stuff, which is a negative mental approach.

[sennafan24]

Some of his points make little sense. He talked about wanting to "honour" the trophy. Yet, he was prepared to fuck it off if Hearn offered him a tour card.

He also mentions not wanting to end up in court over his prize winnings. That partially explains why he didn't do Q School. However, if he did a Bunting, waited for his cheque to clear, and then accepted a tour card - then by his own logic he would have gone beyond "disrespecting" the trophy.

The cunt thinks people care whether he switches. Really we don't Glen, stay in the goldfish bowl you twat.

[Trueblue32]

Glen would add nothing to the PDC.
No charisma, shit nickname, chavvy football badge on his shirt.
Just stay in the county jobbers, so I don't have to watch the boring cunt on a regular basis.
And in high definition as well.
Stick to the Internet streams and minor channels please Glen.

Duzza openly admitted here that he'd be swallowed up in the PDC, that aint gonna change

[Chizzyfan]

Perhaps it is time to start analysing the droves of players that will be switching back to the BDO? Pecker Woods, lead the way.

Totally cluttered. Not sure he really had a full clue as to what he wanted last January and just settled for the easiest thing in the end - oh, and will repeat this every year until it's too late.

Good.
Leave him where he belongs.

That's harsh.

Lauda was a legitimate World Champion.
