Uk Open Qualifiers

[Ginge]

Focus on the darts please.

Only if you admit you were talking total bollocks about the half pint thing

I'd back any of the top 16 to be able to beat any of the old generation, they take it more seriously, practice more and achieve greater things in my view. They won't eclipse the originals for greatness & transcending the sport into mainstream TV & households, but are better standard players now.

Bump for Ginge

This from a person who said Whitlock only drinks half a pint before matches

Find me another.

I'm starting to think it's either fluff or a wind up account to be honest

Doesn't matter, Ginges rule is that if it's mentioned by one member then it's automatically the opinion of every member on here.

No chance any player can perform to the high standard of Simon with more than let's say half a pint, maybe a pint. Nobody knows for sure, but to play to that high level, you can't afford to drink heavily anymore. Clearly.

WOW, do you genuinely believe that none of the top players drink more than a pint?

Ha

I really hate the UK open being in March, like real bad.

It always used to be in June which was a far better slot. No distractions from football or racing and something to look forward too on the first Saturday in June, sit there all weekend watching it and the only highlight.

Now where it is, it's mixed in with a load of other sport, gets lost amongst other activities and unbelievably takes away from the Previous nights Premier League

I firmly believe it needs to return to its slot in June.

It won't move back whilst it's broadcast by ITV4. The June date was unavailable think because they are already screening the Tour de France cycling.

[Rout]

Darts is the second most watched sport on tv though.

TdF is in July and sometimes the back end of June.

In any case the PDC World Cup now occupies that slot more or less.

Used to be a good Friday session. Drinking in the afternoon in the beehive in the sun then a steady walk down to the reebok for a good evening before back to the pub for the karaoke at night

Spoilt it going to minehead.

I like the U.K. Open when it was at rebook where all 8 boards in the same room which they don't have at the current venu

This has to be a wind up

I have been to events with the aforementioned Mr Whitlock and he was drinking halves

Unfortunately it was JD

[Murphio]

I always perform better when pissed. That's why I was the designated drunk driver.
