If Sherrock was shoehorned in no matter what then it would reinforce the notion in people's minds that the "Premier" League is really just the "Glorified Exhibition League". Players who are there should be there purely on merit, but instead you feel they are itching to give the l...

Even better, both finalists testing positive for COVID so we don't actually get a title match?

Three things stand out for me. First, John Imrie from the Faroe Islands. Faroese wife? Andras Mahalyi representing Bahamas? Format is listed on the poster as 501 D.O. which I'm guessing has to mean "double out". Why would they "clarify" this - what the hell else are you going to ...

The best part about this for me is his manager is the brilliantly-named Ben de Kok.

My first time watching Leighton Bennett and he POTENTIALLY could be very good, but what's with the crazy over-celebrating at every 180 and set win? It just makes you look an idiot when you end up finally losing the match. MVG gets away with it because he can generally play at a ridiculous standard. ...

I didn't know Paula Jacklin was a qualified pilot?

Instead of "Fanatics" constantly whinging about why people knock the BDO, do they ever consider why it is that BDO players who feel they can give the PDC a crack piss off to Q-School at the earliest opportunity? Surely if the two orgs were so close in standard it would be a matter of perso...

Pleased for Darin Young after the way the crowd reacted. Best not type any more about that or I might start to sound like Paddy McGinty, and there are some lines I won't cross. That "interview" was utterly pathetic though. You've had a career 99% of players only dream of, you've been one o...

Possibly stupid question but if in the future Cadby were to win the DPA rankings or Oceanic Masters, could the PDC refuse to grant him an Ally Pally place and hand it to the runner-up, or deny him a spot in Q-School if he attempted to go for it?

The face of BDO darts - if you take BDO as standing for "Belgian Demented Oddball".

At some point the BDO had to bite the bullet and find somewhere new - not only does Lakeside look dated but Bob Potter is in his 90s. You could imagine a scenario where Potter dies and the BDO top brass suddenly go into panic mode looking for somewhere to play host. At least they avoided that by get...

Does reeling someone in with a troll post make you a master baiter? How are both Spain and Catalonia involved here? I'd always assumed Catalonia was in the WDF while Spain wasn't because Spain wouldn't accept Gibraltar's membership? Hopefully Catalonia beats Spain in the final just to add even more ...

Just to piss off the commentators I want to see a completely unpronounceable name partnering JM in the PDC World Cup - John Michael and Stavros Papadopoulopoulos for example.

The women's prize money is OK as it stands given the standard they're at, if I was going to bump it up it would be 15k, or 20k absolute max with slight increases for the early rounds as well. The problem is, what's the prize money like for the standard tour events? If a woman is winning £500 (for ex...

The best looking player hasn't been born yet - it will be the offspring of Paula Jacklin's affair with John Henderson.

If there had been a major Jap impact on the PDC side (e.g. Asada getting to semis) then I would have more hopes of a boom as the PDC would jump all over it hype-wise (e.g. WSOD, Asian Tour event, 2nd place for Japan at Worlds etc.) whereas the BDO reaction would be...what exactly? Look at the BBC fo...

Trina in the comms box - I think this is the first time I've ever listened to a commentator and thought "they add absolutely NOTHING". At least Vassos is occasionally amusing and Tony Green was senile.

There should have been a women's qualifier for the punditry as well as the tournament!

Just waiting for our favourite Irish BDO troll to jump in the thread claiming that the PDC does nothing for the youth...

I'm sick of appreciation threads detailing how wonderful players are. I want to be the one depressing, antisocial poster you find on every thread. With that in mind, here is a limerick for when his career inevitably flounders. There was once was a Pole named Krzysztof Whose skill at darts made his r...
