There are a wee clique of ladies kicking about womens darts and have been for a few years. Thankfully I dont think Deta and Ana or any of the ones I mentioned are in it. Like the dinosaurs they are close to extinction which is good. Well I hope the new LDO don't feed into that. I have mentioned bef...

It does feel a little unfair to criticise this seeing that not too long ago it was reckoned zero BDO/WDO events where going to be on our screens. The walk ons where unbelievably a mess though. But I think Paul has said, lessons will be learnt from this. Was it wrong of me to, literally, laugh out lo...

We need some niggle between the ladies, not friendly respectful rivalry. A few we dirty looks and stiletto battles will do for starters. I think there is, or has been, a bit of an in crowd in ladies darts? Example: someone in darts world writing that lakeside wouldn't be the same without "OUR ...

The ladies final was the only match that I watched every dart thrown. My wife was so bored with the event overall (just letting me watch the walk ons and the winning legs in the men's matches: unless I watched it after she had gone to bed!) but she does like some ladies darts and Ana and Deta are, I...

Just a question Paul (and others I guess) re the Welsh open having BDO points (i am taking it that it is: apologies if I am wrong, once again re these matters); Am I right in saying that the Welsh Open is NOT in the wdf ranking table? is there not a rule that clearly states, and even has the word AL...

The walk ons! Phillips and Dekker trying to persuade the Pontins lady to walk onto the stage. It's not the PDC guys! Drunk players walking through a bunch of drunks, quite funny really. proper darts eh? Wilson's strange dance. And that kid following them down. A bit shambolic really, but you do get ...

The invitational event tonight (got it on record, so looking forward to seeing this) is advertised as the 'Pontin's International'. Players from the UK, Belgium and Holland! Anyway, hoping the standard of the production picks up from the WDT. Has there been any complaints from players not picked to ...

It was a massive decision ceding all the rights etc to BDOE. Hey, it may turn out to be the turning point that the BDO folks have been waiting for. But why not wait until this meeting to get input, insight from the delegates? Would a couple of weeks have made that much difference?

from what I pick up on the character of Stephen Bunting, is that he would never go back to play at lakeside to defend his title: the rift and problems this would cause with the players and officials of the BDO would be incredible. BUT.. If the org that he has a lot of feelings for (BDO) decide to su...

I don't get why there is an aversion to distributing and sharing information especially that which is already in the public domain. Others should try it, am sure in doing so it will be very well recieved. When I get new laptop working will try and clarify some of the points highlighted as "fai...

Serious question: do the British players feel/know/act like, that they are the most important folks when it comes to opens run in other countries (with all the work etc being done by that country, with the BDO simply giving them points)? Without the UK stars would these opens be massively 'damaged'?...

Watch it. The Forum's 'Faultfinder General' will be on your case.

It's a joke. Btw lots of folks refer to him in the context of what he said.

One of Ginge's better threads: an opening post, a reply by a banned poster, a 3rd post bumping the thread and a witty post by me!

Norway; Robert Wagner. He's the guy who people criticised for saying something 'negative' about the BDO isn't he?

Unfair criticism: he was speaking in his 3rd language and meant to say, "BDO isn't that great'.

For me; a player should 'sign up' to which ever org he wants to -play in, with a 12 month commitment. Understand mid year switching to and fro may not be too helpful. if you want to switch (either way) after lakeside or before Q school then let the players do so. if, and I don't think they will, the...

When the BDO moved from Muswell Hill they had some valuable property there. have they sold it? I thought I read they where renting it out? Apart from the fabled BDO trucks (which I actually saw in Blackpool on the day after the WDT - being driven by Wayne and loaded by those 2 'walk on guys') does t...

from tommy coxs twitter Tommy Cox ‏@TommyCox_PDC 21m Just reading that the BDO have signed over all event rights to a team called BDO events. I truly cannot believe they have done this contd.. Mr Cox seems to think it is a bad deal for the BDO. though I thought he doesn't care about them? I guess h...

I know nothing. Just posting stuff I have read on FB. Expect a lengthy report from Howard Miller on Face book some time soon. Might not be too balanced a report though ;) ;) Sorry H. Appreciate this Col. Posting on the Forum that the hierarchy of both the PDC and the BDO read. What's the general vi...
