Re: The woes of the Covidiot Glen Dullard
I'd be pretty happy to expunge all titles won behind closed doors. They are certainly asterixed in my mind.

Re: The woes of the Covidiot Glen Dullard
No, being flippant but I think the titles won during the time carry less weight and validity.tungsten tossers wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 5:51 pmSo would you rather of had no darts at all then?SuperSwede wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 5:43 pm I'd be pretty happy to expunge all titles won behind closed doors.

We had the argument at the time. I was firmly on the side of winners winning that wouldn't have usually won. First chance we get a bit of crowd back and the Matchplay champion goes from composed to wilting. Clayton made a good effort at it too.The Thorn wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 5:45 pmNonsenseSuperSwede wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 5:43 pm I'd be pretty happy to expunge all titles won behind closed doors.

Oh and both MVG and Wright immediately look more like their old selves.

It was obvious that the players outside the top 8 were going to be more on a level playing field, as theySuperSwede wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 6:03 pm Oh and both MVG and Wright immediately look more like their old selves.
may have choked in front of a capacity crowd against one of the big boys, but it was the top 3 that didn't step up when they needed to
in the behind closed doors events...
Of course there will always be that question mark over would they have won in front of a crowd, but they still went on to win it...
It is a very poor excuse from the top players to say that they didn't win because there was no crowd......
You can asterisk all you like, but their names are on the trophies, not MvG, Price or Crusty.......

Re: The woes of the Covidiot Glen Dullard
The circumstances were different but they were the same for everyone. If the different circumstances resulted in some players being weaker, that's their own fault. It's possible that the results would have been different but you can't say that for certain

Certainly. Not definitive either way so all about opinion.tungsten tossers wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 6:25 pmIt was obvious that the players outside the top 8 were going to be more on a level playing field, as theySuperSwede wrote: ↑Fri May 28, 2021 6:03 pm Oh and both MVG and Wright immediately look more like their old selves.

I just think the fact it was a two way swing, top players levels dropping and lesser achievers elevating, to meet in the middle is significant.

6-0 to Edhouse has got to be a new low...
He did average over 80 though (81.8)

Glen is on a 16 match losing streak, and he didn't even play series 3

Re: The woes of the Covidiot Glen Dullard
76.97 only 1 dart at a double so basically purely scoring visits which is terrifying
