Re: United Kingdom Darts Association

as Pauly pointed out Isle of Wight v Yorkshire is a hell of a long travel especially considering the relative strengths of the 2 teams historically... bottom of the 4th vs top of the 1st in the same league possibly.. a long travel for a mismatch.. Don’t they already go down to Cornwall for a match ...

Re: United Kingdom Darts Association

Des on Razzle Dazzle So I’ve thought long and hard about this post and the fact of the matter is I’m going to get slated and called unprofessional by a certain sector within the Darts World whatever happens and I will be praised by the people that both support me and the BDO in another sector, if I’...

Re: PDC Premier League 2020

I keep reading in places that Durrant is slow, the slowest player in the PDC etc...... I don't think he's that slow and I reckon he plays at the same pace that Taylor played at... He's steady but quicker than Priestley who got no grief.... I reckon what Durrant has achieved in darts is amazing to be...

Re: DRA suspends McKinstry and Nijman

Of course the players have to provide Phone records if they are being investigated... It happens in other sports so why not darts... Cricketers have been suspended for refusing to provide phone records

I've just seen a headline from The Sun saying the BDO has become the first sporting casualty of coronavirus by going into liquidation.......

I didn't realise the virus had been around that long ! Do people really believe covid killed them.!!

Re: DRA suspends McKinstry and Nijman

I don't suppose there were any phone records for the old Gary Anderson v Darryl Fitton match... that would have been more a quiet word to each other beforehand 🤔

Re: DRA suspends McKinstry and Nijman

I wonder if more went on in these on line events.... I didn't actually watch any of them, the PDC ones, the Modus ones or any.... I thought they were just some throwaway events to pass the lockdown time and didn't know they would be watched by the DRA... I assume the players knew so no real excuses ...

Re: PDC Women's Series

It's non provable but you say the best 2 players are Suzuki and Ashton because of the World Champs.. Sherrock didn't play so who knows whether she would have been in the final herself... I would say Sherrock is easily as good as those 2 so it would be fine if she did qualify and of course publicity ...

Re: PDC Women's Series

Of course it's a way that improves Fallon's chances of qualifying.. but it also increases the chances of both qualifiers being the best which with one open draw event is likely not to be the case.. so no arguments from me..

You can't throw a dart like that.. Its in the rules now to protect callers and markers I believe... and it was ages before the end of the match and had no bearing on the result... Van der Voort has to be the biggest moaner in darts.. every interview is moan moan moan and he was out of order at the e...

Re: PDC World Matchplay- 18th-26th July 2020-Blackpool

The winner will be from the same elite group because that elite group are the best players and over the long leg format they will be hard to beat.

I believe the players will hear crowd noise at the venue so won't be like a pro tour event but still not the same a a real crowd

Barry Hearn said that darts and snooker would probably be one of the first sports to return as they can follow social distancing fairly easily... Can't see crowds for a long time though..

Re: CLOD 2020 cancelled

What will happen with QS in 2021...players cannot lose their cards if they haven't played tournaments.. Likewise the ones from this years QS won't have had many events to go towards retaining it after 2 years.. Unless they pack in loads of events when allowed the rankings are going to be too skewed ...
