Re: PDC Women's Series 2021

Haven't been here for roughly ten months. I must say, it is mighty impressive how far this forum has come in the meantime. I was of course prepared to just get to see the same old pile of crap with roughly 20% stats by SSJSA and 2% genuine darts discussion randomly sprinkled into 78% utter crap, lik...

Re: 2020 PDC European Tour

Incredible, MvG should not even have made it past his first game both this and last ET, yet he gets to both finals. PL-Durrant-esque lucky streak. He has covid, Show some respect I am quite sure that MvG does not have Covid. In case you mean Durrant: Is contracting Covid also some sort of skill, li...

Re: Preparation in (pro) darts

That's true. But these two are (as we say it in software development, no idea if it is real English) "edge cases". I doubt that e.g. in the case I mentioned in the OP neither Lewis nor Dobey would have been "beaten before a dart was thrown". And I doubt that, with Lewis being re...

Sure. Lets close the childish fantasy threads were you jerk off to presenting medicocre amateur players as world champions with it, then. Those are on a level of nothingness I could only dream of.

Re: Preparation in (pro) darts

Taylor and Bristow won plenty of games before a dart was thrown. Getting inside their opponents heads. Taylor would sometimes belittle and patronise an upcoming opponent. Or pull the old switcheroo and do some mind games Ferguson/Mourinho style and play himself up as the underdog sometimes. Brissy ...

Re: Preparation in (pro) darts

Of course it does in these type of competitions. Managers will be advising players how to play against player's playing styles etc. Makes a massive difference. But how? It is not as if Dobey would have thrown his darts from a different stance or at different angles against another opponent, nor wou...

Potentially dropping behind Clemens in the ranking might have fueled him somehow.
It's been quite a while that I've seen him play like that, in some matches this year his scoring was so bad that his nickname seemed almost "ironic".

Re: Preparation in (pro) darts

Regarding the tweets of a player (IIRC Dobey) after his loss at the Grand Prix when he had to play Whitlock instead of Lewis: Does it actually matter who you play in terms of preparing for a match? To me that is pretty much bullshit, how would you e.g. change your way of playing depending on the op...

That blonde girl does not look too bad, but unless the camera coordinator is a needy teenager, constantly showing her is starting to come across a bit creepy.

Thanks for your input, much appreciated. I always forget that, although half of you Island dwellers can't even write properly in their own language, the other half loves nothing more than to mock people who have English as 2nd or 3rd language.

young Mr. Roetzsch played some impressive stuff there. Will be interesting to see if that was only a fluke.

Where are you all watching this? Do you all subscribe to PDCTV? When I've got to chose between around 6 EUR/month and malware polluted crap streams the decision is not that hard. I honestly wonder how people won't afford that, while they probably guzzle down pints worth the annual subscription pric...
