Re: Televising the BICC ffs

I don’t know anyone who watches any darts because of the prize money. It’s absolutely irrelevant. Not absolutely irrelevant imo. It's a factor when the finalists will win, say, 1 million quid. Adds to the occasion. If the winner won £10, come on,viewing figured would drop. And so would the standard...

Re: Televising the BICC ffs

Platt was class He made the most of his limited ability. Was PFA player of the year once, but do you think he's on the same level as the players I mentioned earlier? Not the point my dear. What are you doing here? Don't you have a first round match to lose somewhere? Answer me this. Why does PDC, M...

Re: Televising the BICC ffs

Yeah football has got better and better the more money has got into the game. [emoji849] It actually has. Messi and Ronaldo have taken the game to another level. Did you watch English football before the money came in? I did. Did you see the kick and rush style that almost every team employed? You ...

Re: Televising the BICC ffs

Does anyone else remember Wimbledon in the late 80s? Playing a style of football more akin to rugby. You think the PL money hasn't improved the standard of play? Anyone in their right mind think that Vinnie Jones could be a professional footballer now, let alone a top flight one? Of course I don't w...

Re: Televising the BICC ffs

I don’t know anyone who watches any darts because of the prize money. It’s absolutely irrelevant. It isn't irrelevant to the sport being a going concern though. If there was no money in football, you think you'd still see the same crowds? No, because the likes of Messi and Ronaldo would have chosen...

Why? Many sportsmen are talented at a number of sports at a young age and then specialise later. Particularly those who are natural athletes. There was a time when you might think twice before choosing football but not now.

Re: Televising the BICC ffs

yeah right, live tv showing a sub-standard game where nothing can be won or lost and nobody is knocked out for a long season where eventually some county viewers don't care about wins something no viewer cares about, all for lashings of 'prestige' administered by a bankrupt and possibly fraudulent ...

Re: Televising the BICC ffs

But in a masochistic way, I'm looking forward to watching the BICC on TV if it's actually going ahead. Nothing better than seeing j0bbers horsing pints and munt€rs throwing 60 dart legs. If David is the caller, I wouldn't blame him for losing the will to live after calling a few munter$ games.

David Owen's list of abuse - Called various women "Heffers", "Fat", "Minging" "no tits", When confronted he accused people of Bullying him so the action was dropped - Overspends at the bar and put's it on the county accounts, its losing money but Owen's doesn...

At least I find him rather amenable. His only mistake was perhaps sticking by the shrub rocketeer a little too long. But I'm sure he has nothing to do with Eccles now.

Sweaty Head backs out a lot. Especially when confronted by darts players. Who is sweaty head and why would anyone be scared of a darts player? They aren't exactly models of fitness. And most of them would be too decent to threaten someone because they said a few mean things on the Internet anyway. ...

Oh, and I didn't even know they obtained a sponsor for the O2? I know they were in talks with some roofing or tarmacing pikeys but nothing came of it as far as I'm aware.
