Did they? Why?
John Rawling (Rawlings?) and George Riley. One of them said they've all received so many comments this week and that they do get to read them and thanks to everyone who has got in touch. Then he said we do like to read your comments... "especially the positive ones." Then they both started chuckling.

Finally Rawlings got philosophical and said that well if we want to appreciate the praise, then we have to take the criticism as well. Definitely an admission that they have taken an absolute thrashing on social media.
I like Rawling. He's been dragged down into the shit by his colleagues this week. George, if you're reading, go back to being the butt of Nicky Campbell's jokes.

Well done Rob Walker. Effectively says to Glen: 'We admire the way you've bounced back from losing a tight semi-final last year by losing a tight quarter-final this year.' Absolute catastrophe of a man. Fair play to Glen for doing the interview, there are very many who wouldn't have.

so do I, would be hilarious
Would be even funnier seeing him represent the BDO in the grand slam as their world champ.

The man who could have spared some of lakesides blushes is gone. There has never been a better time for Glen to take a punt. Especially with the BBC dropping darts.

I heard he would switch unless he would win the whole thing. Also, when you look to his interview it was like he blew up his last chance to win it.

Supreme choking from Durrant there.

No point in him switching with such a fragile mindset, his ringpiece would fail him in a last 128 tie in a tour event at Barnsley based on that.

For fucks sake Duzza. I was looking forward to you coming on here and telling us how you were going to spend your £100K.

I think the losing quarter finalist only gets £6,500 so I guess you can still get a couple of terraced houses to rent out in Middlesbrough.

People in the crowd were awful against Glenn as well. I thought Oche said that would never happen in the BDO?

I don't mind waites but it's just a repeat of last year.
No offence to Glen as he seems a decent chap but it would be like that from round one in the pdc, look how Bunting has fared.

The guy can obviously chuck a dart and its all well and good getting a ton average against pub players, but when the big pressure has come on him he has folded.

Bunting was great in the BDO battering nobodies, now look at him when the pressure is piled on.

Winning lakeshite means fuckall , but to durrant it obviously meant a lot and he choked under the pressure he put on himself.

The stray darts into 1s, 5s, 7s and 3s when it mattered were telling. It's a mechanical action prone to breaking under pressure. In the pdc that's going to be round one.
Waites throw on the other hand, bar the occasional snatch is a lot more fluid, and it told.

Also waites won lakeshite with an 85 average before, he has no pressure and knows all the others are choking cunts, he can simply throw his own game and invariably win almost all if he gets a 90 average

Had to take a call and missed the last two sets, what the fuck happened? Duzza looked nailed on and wasn't even playing Harbour.

I hope he does cross the divide as top 32 players earn well there, and without doubt he'll be top 32 or better

Fanny will be able to explain I'm sure.
Glen handled the crowd well in fairness.

Crowd booing the player is not uncommon, remember when Harms had match darts against Tony O Shea a couple of years ago, the brits booed the dutchie as they wanted one of the old guard to win

The thing is, it could take him a long time to get over the way he threw this match away.

Durrant's solid player and could do decent in the PDC, but I doubt he'd win anything.

The odd Pro Tour Event like Norris is possible but nothing major. Still a decent living with the Euro events as well
