Re: Torremolinos Festival of Darts 2014

I looked out of the window at 6 this morning, saw the sun rising and a beautiful blue sky and thought what a great day to go fishing. After the mild winter and spring coming early this year the fish appear to be biting really well lol Caught a couple of big ones even though I was in school teaching...

Re: Torremolinos Festival of Darts 2014

Haha there was over 60 playing I. The Oakfield open on Saturday maybe we should get Lakside points I made it to the last 32 after all :D Well as it stands if you follow the "rules" and meet the financial criteria, and you get your national body to apply for them it's possible, if they hav...

Re: Isle of Man Open 2014

What numbers did they get for the women's entries in the end ? ..just seen Les France having a pre tournament rant about the lack of numbers and support the ladies were giving the event and threatening to withdraw his support next year and add the funds to the men's event. My view is that a lot of ...

I watch what they show on Sport 1 which is free, but leaves a lot to be desired in terms of content and commentary

Re: BDO Lakeside Fans FB Page

Just seen it. He seems genuine to me if a little over keen. He has deleted it all now, difficult to follow. One point i would make having been involved in a dart shop is that the suppliers you HAVE to buy from won't allow you to undercut the bigger places consistently. For example you can get stock...

Re: Still the cup holders.

I have travelled to another country to watch west ham up to 8 or 9 times a season in the past, at great expense too, and never used the term 2we" as i am not stupid enough to believe i am ever going to be part of the team, etc. I support the hammers but this WE thing makes a person look sad Wh...

Re: 6 Nations at Eurosport

The older I get the more things like representing your County or Country seem to have a real meaning. All I hear young darters talk about now when looking at comps to play in is 'what's the prize money'.. That's probably and hopefully because of national pride and patriotism are becoming less and l...

Re: Tony Eccles

Many years ago I was at a nightclub in Stevenage with some mates. As we approached the bar my mates all started staring at this blond ordering drinks, very, very, short mini skirt, tight blouse, legs up to her armpits,. Stunning except for one thing. As my mates were gawping at her she turned around...

After all thats when the next BDO darts is on telly, yes? It could have been worse I suppose. They could have had something totally unrelated to d...

Re: Personal Coaches in Darts

Whatever can be taught, can be taught in a day. A coaches role isn`t just about teaching a person what to do, it`s also about seeing what is going wrong when things aren`t going right during a match and being able to explain that to the player and getting him or her to correct it. There are a coupl...

Re: Why is the BDO website so pants??

it is only a link to the scottish darts website, so really not the end of the world. Having said that somebody should have put this right by now. The men's draw link goes directly to the draw sheet not to the SDO, which is the way the BDO normally have the links, the BDO twitter does have the corre...

Re: Why is the BDO website so pants??

PDC site may not be perfect but certainly far superior to the BDO site. Information access is so much easier and news articles much better and a lot more regular. BDO reports a tourney sometimes with a three or four liner that just say x won the mens with y 2nd and the ladies winner was x with y ru...

Re: Scottish Open

Of course it is a valid question, I was just wondering how he could be 100% sure that they were using 32 seeds, because they don`t have to. Because it would be a truly remarkable coincidence if there were only 16 seeds, and all the next 16 (well, 15) would-be seeds just happened to be drawn in exac...

Re: Scottish Open

You are misunderstanding the rules. That does not say a Category A must have 32 seeds. It refers to events in the main table that have 32 seeds. It doesn`t say they HAVE to have 32 seeds. For example Lakeside is in the main table but does not have 32 seeds. Luxembourg is in the main table and it mi...

Of course it is a valid question, I was just wondering how he could be 100% sure that they were using 32 seeds, because they don`t have to. It could be that the player concerned was a very late entry and they had already done the seeds by then, but I doubt that would be the reason. There are some sm...
