Thorn vs Viz?

[vizIIsto]

Thorn with the best bluff ever

And yes I'm not serious. Thornton is an amazing and enjoyable player.

[Greipel]

Is this the forum Thorn on the left side?

Is this the forum Thorn on the left side?

Basically anyone who likes Thorn but let's say a firm yes. And the right is me about Thornton the player who's likely going to lose his Tour Card soon.

[thegentle]

I think Dirk might be safe now

[HalloweenJack]

Finally we'll get rid of Thorn.
Baker provisionally out. That's a pity.

Fuck off!

Don’t worry Viz when I run this place soon Thorn is one of the first out of the door

Obviously Ward is jacking it in at the end of the year and Kando you'd guess is going to do the same even if he ends up still in the top 64 after the Worlds. You'd think everyone above 54th is sitting pretty, and that anyone below that needs a miracle, even in these crazy times when God knows how many spaces at the Worlds might be available for European based tour card holders. Squeaky bum time for everyone, especially Benito, whose places in the Worlds and Players Championship Finals are looking very precarious indeed. A few who aren't a million miles off qualifying, but of course with a shortened schedule, you could be one good day away from making it to the Worlds

McGeeney has been very strange. He's had an absolutely shocking year.

Its because he is shit

[thegentle]

McGeeney has been very strange. He's had an absolutely shocking year.

Yes, quite strange, had a very solid season last year, I didn't envisage him having issues retaining his tour card. Not that high up on the list of strange things to happen in 2020 mind you!

Indeed. Of the 133 players to have played a minimum of 12 games in PCs this year, he sits 121st in the averages: 86.21.

Mind you, he had darts to win the piss palace in a game where he averaged 86 so... I can't think of a way to end that sentence.

All i want for christmas is for Gremlin Schindler to be sent packing.

Is Matt Edgar fucked? He’s been playing a lot better in the summer and autumn series

Just inside the top 64 provisionally. Needs to qualify for the Worlds though to have a chance I guess.

Well, he's provisionally in 64th at the moment, 66th will probably be ok, but still, very precarious. If he doesn't make it to the TV events (currently level with the last PCF qualifying spots and £1,250 behind the last ProTour spot for the Worlds), there are a lot of players below him with plenty of earning potential who can overtake him. Last year he was on course to lose his tour card going into the PDPA qualifier, but made it and just about lived to fight another year on tour

[thegentle]

Kuivenhoven will be relieved to have made the Euros, pushed him into the top 64 here. He's the only one in immediate danger of losing his card who is on course for 3 TV events this winter (with of course the Grand Slam as well, which could be a very useful avenue, just like it was for Thorn last year), although you'd think much will rest on the Worlds as he's far from guaranteed to progress past the first round of the other two events. Scott Baker might be disappointed not to win one more game this weekend to make it to the Euros and bank another £6k, but he did almost certainly book his place at the Worlds which is of course the bread and butter
