2020 World Series of Darts

[Randall]

There is literally no good final can come out of this now.
The top half is abysmal

The absolute worst would be dross v gurney
Ill be happier If its anything but that.

Surely Smith would make it interesting enough against any of the bottom half?

Oh no wait, it's a final.

Smith if he turned up would be the best option but he wouldn't.
Whoever wins out of wade v durrant is in the final.
Bottom half as long as it's not gurney I'm fine

If Wade is in it you know how boringly exciting it will be. Boring because he'll play shit the first half, and exciting because he might turn up the second half and bring the tension back.

Like so many at the minute its almost impossible to say how wade will play
As likely to throw 88 as 98.

Wouldn’t mind a Cross final

“A game” Cross is quality to watch just haven’t seen that for a long time

Back around his worlds win he was great to watch
Now its torment

And that suggests we won't see it anytime soon either.

Although to be fair, his insane debut year causes us to compare everything to that year, like how we compare MvG's achievements of today to his amazing 2016. Then obviously you're going to be disappointed most of the time. Honestly he should be glad if he stays in the top 16 for much longer. I give him three years.

Tell me how many of these players do you think are 'in-form' at the moment:
Simon Whitlock
Stephen Bunting
Brendan Dolan
Jelle Klaasen

I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened to the likes of Aspinall, De Sousa, Dobey.

I expect to see lots of head shaking and last darts thrown aimlessly at the board. Good beard though.

State of this place

What's the problem caller?

Just seemed like a normal evening on TDF to me.
Same again tonight??

[HalloweenJack]

So what can we expect tonight on TDF people?

Halloweenjack getting excited if Wade or Duzza win the thing and make life unbearable for people on here

Randall dreading it as Wade or Duzza and the many other players he doesn’t like possibly winning this thing. I expect “I’m going to bed now” to be earlier than normal.

Senna will contemplate whether life is worth living if Duzza wins, but then reminding everyone ( correctly as well) that this doesn’t count as a major/PDC premier event

Thorn will enjoy tormenting Senna if Duzza wins but also probably complain that this place is going to the dogs.

Meanwhile on the actual board.

Expect to see Duzza proclaim that this is the greatest day of his sporting life and that he is just a normal guy form Middlesborough if he wins.

Smith, if Duzza beats him in the SF well we all know what Smith will do.

Wade, if the machine wins expect him to say he is doing it for his son and family.

Wright, if he wins I expect sone incoherent jabbering in his speech.

All set for a good day I think

Aspinall seems to have a hunger for the game, or at least the money so I say him as a player on an upward trajectory.
De sousa is too soon to say.
The others are on the way out probably

[Safc]

Its Wright's to lose if he plays like he has been he wins I fully expect Durrant to get to the final now the half he is in.

I honestly dont see anything that's objectionable but I am aware that some are unhappy.

If he beats wade its inevitable
Of the possible final opponents he probably beats gurney.
The other 3 have top gears higher than him but are they going to produce it is the question?

Please tell me people don’t actually complain to you in your capacity as a mod??

I have started a thread to avoid polluting the dartboard

And there lies the skill of Duzza. He has the ability ( like Wade) to drag people down. In fairness to Duzza I think he does have the capacity to raise his game especially against MVG. Didn’t he average over a ton last night. I seriously think that Duzza gets to MVG like no other player has done before. We all know MVG is the better player but if he could avoid any one player it would be Duzza.

Dragging people down isn't really an ability.
Its just having a style of play that doesn't suit others games

Subconsciously it is though as clearly Wade ( in the past) and Duzza currently seem to affect people’s games. If MVG played last night against Anderson or Lewis I’m sure you would have seen a more fluent performance and higher average from him. Put him and others against Duzza and it’s all change. To get into somebody’s head without even trying is a skill in itself.
As for having a style that doesn’t suit other people. You should play the board not the player. Phil was rather good at that.

He irritates people
It's not a skill
Rhythm players cant get into a rhythm against them
That's why they dont produce against them

But they should be able to, the fact he supposedly irritates people is there problem not his. He has gotten to them before they have thrown a dart.
I disagree about the skill element though, I don’t believe Duzza does this but some players could easily slow down to affect the other player if they know it is going to get them an advantage. Call it gamesmanship but it’s not illegal.

The big problem with rhythm players is that they're too dependent of their opponent's rhythm instead of what should be their own rhythm. Any type of structure away from the oche would help them a lot. Always take a sip of water (or pretend to - looking at you Bullyboy), or juggle your darts, idk, just do something for the first 10 seconds after you've collected your darts and you won't have any problem facing an opponent who feels unbearably slow.
