Re: World Cup of Darts Discussion

Looks like webby is starting to get Dartisis.

He's just beginning to struggle to begin the release throw and the slowly falling over lean.

Re: World Cup of Darts Discussion

I would say doubles in tennis is a completely different game and highly specialised, I doubt Nadal and Murray could beat the 2 woodies No but being realistic the doubles in Tennis is treated very much as a poor relation when you look at TV time and prize money as to the viewing paying public its re...

Re: World Cup of Darts Discussion

They could put on a doubles comp...... They used to and again whilst I always enjoyed it history shows it can't have been popular with the greater powers as it's position became the Grand Prix. I was trying to think of another sport where individuals sometimes team up to play pairs and they aren't ...

Re: World Cup of Darts Discussion

I'm not talking viewing figures I'm talking format, full teams, men, ladies, boys and girls not a doubles comp chosen from a tiny pool of players. If we are being honest outside of the handful of main darting countries how many of the others have 1 player near world class ? let alone enough to fill...

Re: World Cup of Darts Discussion

Are there any countries which are stronger or would do better in this if it was WDF and not PDC ?

Or is it pretty universal that the strongest darts countries are the same in the PDC as the WDF ?

Re: The greatest dart ever thrown.

I thought of a few candidates. 1. The winning dart in the greatest darts match - Barneys winning double in the World Champs to beat Taylor in the Final. 2. The wining dart to break the greatest World Championship Winning Streak - Parts double to beat Taylor in the deciding set of 2003 World Champs. ...

Re: Taylor?

Noone will ever recall or care about the positions they finished in the Premier League all that history will record is who won the title.

This year it was Barney which makes him the best player of the playoff night and as that's all you need to be to be champion surely anything else is a moot point.

Re: Nurse!!!!!

I don't think so. I can't see him beating the likes of Adams, Wilson and Kong, probably Dekker in that bracket of players too. The ship may have sailed. I'm not saying that he isn't a decent player, but I don't think he will hit the heights he previously did. I think Ted is more than capable of bea...

Re: Rivalry

The main problem with Ladies darts is the standard they play at. All the rivalry in the world can't make a watchable sporting event. Until the standard improves to a level which is way beyond what the average watcher can play their self they will always struggle. Good example of this was last night ...
