Conversely, all the historic names, bar one or two notable exceptions, are absolute shite at darts these days.

A tricky balance to get right.
I said the same before.

This is why it's crucial to hold onto names who can do both. Taylor, Adams, Thornton, Durrant.

To some extent Jenkins, Painter, Ashton and O'Shea as well.

They need to monitor who drops off the tour and get them into play. Gando, Beaton, Barney, White, Hendo to name a few

Their problem is Robert Thornton going on to win a tourcard.

Maybe. You know nothing is guaranteed at Q-School.

Pretty much. Taylor is the big draw.

Not much. I like to bring it up every now and then. Thousands of posts on this forum are dedicated to Taylor's greatness. It's only fair if the other side is shown, that he is an absolute cesspit of a human being.

I liked the time he once claimed he had never been in a pub, despite having been the landlord of one.

Taylor is one of the worst people in the sport.

Most of the ATG players are pricks. Barney is a fucking turd, MVG is a gobshite, Bristow was hardly a saint, etc.

If it's a lottery how can you confidently predict that Thornton will win a card?

Are you Nostradamus now are something?

Taylor is the ultimate money driven winning machine. Totally ruthless on the oche. We'll never see his like again.

Don't care what age Thorn is but he seems to revel in digging for dirt and posting news from decades ago like he's the most righteous one.

From what I've seen on here I would say his posts are much worse than what Taylor was alleged of and found guilty by the woman judge. What was it, £200 fine?

Shall we look into details of said events...

Also, Bristow didn't hold back saying if guilty Taylor should be kicked out. They fell out big time because of it.

What did the PDC/ODPA/DRA do?

Well we did get this gem...

No SD, I wouldn't say words posted on a forum are worse than sexual assault which Taylor is a repeat offender of. Don't forget when he groped a walkon girl on stage on live TV

Thorn or Jimmy Saville?

It's a close call.
