World Darts Championship

I'm interested to see how 4 do with the darts, presumably they'll have a lot of the same presenters as the Beeb had when they covered the BDO?

Probably have John McCrirrick.

Kinell I hope not!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I hope they don't have that toddering old cunt Tony Green.

Premier League lineup: Van Gerwen, Anderson, Wright, Taylor, Lewis, Wade, Chisnall, Van Barneveld, Klaasen, Huybrechts.

[KMD7]

Don't worry lads, the darts haven't finished quite yet

 

That leg of darts had Mark Fowler aids

[Mendoza]

I remember John Part used to do the commentary, sometimes immediately after he'd just won the PDC Title. Don't think he was allowed to mention it.

They'd have probably given us a game today.

Currently getting his hand hammered with De Niro watching over proceedings.

Whilst using his bollocks as snooker balls hahaha.

Tony Green has retired from commentary so at least we don't have to listen to the old cunt banging about BDO tournaments always having the best of order. Darts has moved on hence why nearly every cunt in the BDO is always looking to jump ship for the cash.

The atmosphere,along with the barrels of cash,is one of the prime reasons Darts has been resurrected as a popular spectator and tv viewed sports. Its not my own cup of tea but I can see why more people enjoy the events now than they have done for a long time before.

Somebody stitched its wings back on in reverse.

When I saw the length of the video I assumed it was the first set. Jeez, I wonder if there is enough storage capacity on the Youtube servers to host the entire match?

A lot of BDO players have struggled since they have made the transfer over to the PDC. I imagine darts is a confidence game and once you are playing a better standard of player and losing a lot more, it'll affect some players more than others.

[skend04]

There are hardly any full time players in the BDO that's why there's a huge gap in the standard generally. It's also a reason why Taylor dominated the PDC for so long, undoubtedly a massive talent but he was the only full time player for a number of years. He could practice 24/7 whilst most of the rest were working to supplement their darts careers.

I actually didn't know this.

Haha. I'm sure I've read a few stories floating around as to how Taylor would turn up to tournaments in his flash cars and such to piss off the other players that were scratching around for sponsorship and prize money. Obviously you've still got to be good to stay at the top for as long as he did.

Pretty much everybody in the PDC used to play in the BDO.

The original crew would have had more time to bed in while now they have to compete straight away or fade away.

The original 16 movers is a different case of course.  Only Taylor is still playing.  I'm talking about players who played in the BDO after the split.

 

It's not true that they have to compete straight away.  MVG struggled for a few years after his move and now he's the best player in the world.  Anderson likewise to a lesser extent.  Others, like Bunting, hit the ground running and are now struggling a bit.  Barney won it in his first year.  Kist won the BDO and hasn't even managed to break into the top 32 of the PDC.  I don't really think there's any pattern.

I keep mistaking this thread for a 'World farts championship' one.

 

Cunt.

Only one winner here...

 

[Creator Supreme]

Scott Waites is a good player, he's had the offer to go to PDC qualifying school a few times, but he turns it down as he's happy were he is. He still gives the PDC players a game in the tournament's they all play in!

[Jenson]

Just seen an interview with MVG on sky sports, he seems a bit erm 'special' doesn't he?
