did you get rod harrington to sign the board to authenticate it? a good day of marking for you on your first weekend. it was my first weekend too, and twice in 6 legs john part hit 6 perfect. so easy for them!

first time marking, enjoyed it. nicest guys were steve brown, adrian gray, john part and robert thornton. on the minus side, richie burnett just walked off after his defeat. he didn't seem very happy with how he played.

yeah i'd agree with that, certainly my favourite tournament is the matchplay rather than the worlds. love the format, and neeing to win by two clear legs makes for some fantastic drama (remember wade-scholten SF 2006). cracking atmosphere too it seems. really looking forward to it.

105 + 112 + 124 = 341 (another small improvement). still short of kirk's first attempt! but that's a lot of 120-130 checks since i've started playing it, and i'm now hitting them in my competitive games too.

i like the matchplay being a 'clear by two legs to win'. and i think they got the perfect balance shortening the premier league semifinals to best of 15 and best of 19 final. though i'm not so keen on the third fourth playoff idea, its a bit anticlimactic, and i felt the same with the one at the wor...

i agree with the principle that the loser chalks. also i find that if you go for a lot of cover shots yourself when you play, you know the shots instantly, you get to know the common combinations. also it is worth remembering the combinations of hitting neighbouring trebles, so t19 t7 is 78 etc, and...

re:The worst possible thing to happen would be for Phil to lose badly, you just know that he will practice like hell and come back with an even better game thats exactly what happened when he lost to manley in the premier league. he said that should never happen, he slimmed his darts, and has never ...

re. snakehipsx2: you can't fluke a nine-darter. it has to be absolutely perfect, none of the key segments are near each other. that's why it is such an achievement. 9 darters are only more common because players are better. also the wires are thinner, so theres more room. but the pros from the 80s e...

an improvement for me, and the first time i got all 3 as tonplusses (just!). 100 + 109 + 127 = 336.

i have to say, having seen the video, it doesn't look like higgins is worried for his life. he seems quite relaxed.

i agree taylor's not the best counter. but still, im not sure... it may have just as you say been heat of battle, but i remain unconvinced.

i couldn't believe the number of bull shots that were hit. taylor was pushed to play his best at times, particularly those three top outshots, 161, 167, 170. i also believe he left 122 (and took it out) as a psychological blow to whitlock, who had taken the same shot out repeatedly throughout the ch...

i've watched this match loads of times, takes my breath away every time, treble after treble. my favourite player is anderson, i just wish he could conquer his nerves, his natural talent is about the best there is. phenomenal 180 scorer. but anyone who doubts jenkins abilities (he does get beat quit...

barney a brilliant 104.6, van gerwen a staggering 133.9!

the reason i brought it up was because taylor and klaasen's from last year were also in championship league, and they got gold pins (for televised ones).

can i have my lucky number 10 please? thanks.

for some reason, the pdpa website has lewis' 9 darter in championship league '08 as only a silver pin (non-televised).
