I have no problem with folks not liking ladies darts. No problem with folks having a preference (eg bdo preferred more than pdc). It is when we are dealing with facts.trotter wrote:Yes that was a good match....but my feeling is the BDO have a decent product in the men if they could market it properly and that having to have the ladies in the same package for everything makes it far harder to sell to any major TV station....devosteve wrote:Cracking final.
I do find it amusing that there are posters who call folks who they deem to be anti bdo, bigots (yes that term is used), haters and trolls etc yet some of those very posters criticise and knock ladies darts. Double standards? 2 faced?
Always like ladies darts. Usp For the bdo.
For example, even though I am a fan of ladies darts and have watched most of it and more than I have the men's action) I have to disagree with folk who say it is as good as the men's game.
now you have said you enjoy bdo mens darts but it isn't as high a standard as pdc. People may prefer bdo but you are clearly stating a fact.
my point with above post?
If the posters who have 'attacked' you for stating your view (pdc superior to bdo ) would you agree with me that they are hypocrites if they have slated ladies darts for not being as good as mens (that is the men's is superior)?
Using their own logic they are trolls, haters and bigots for comparing the ladies with the men.
Anyway, playing darts, checking footie scores and listening to the boomtown rats.

Impressive from Durrant. Now he is staying so many of the others should consider leaving as he will no doubt take a huge percentage of 2018 and beyonds prize funds. The other players must have been gutted yesterday when he came back and won.

Durrant did the one more time thing yesterday as well - confused me.
Re: 2018 BDO World Championship- Lakeside- 6th-14th January
Damned, hoped he would hit the 9er.
Re: 2018 BDO World Championship- Lakeside- 6th-14th January
Congrats to Mr. Durrant! Very convincing performance!
Waites - a good run but only at his very best would have been a real threat.

I've not seen enough of McGeeney to be convinced people assure me he can be brilliant. I know he's performed well on floor tournaments but never really seen him play anything but solid darts on TV.
Re: RE: Re: 2018 BDO World Championship- Lakeside- 6th-14th January
You clearly don't understand or more likely choose not to, everyone knows the pdc is a higher standard, nobody denies that but all you do is constantly bang on and on and on about it, you are constantly trying to win an argument nobody is having, it's boring to see the same shit in every thread, every other post.devosteve wrote:I have no problem with folks not liking ladies darts.

Waites gracious as ever in defeat there.... Durrant won at least 3 of his 6 sets 3-0 from what I remember and he says he gave Durrant 5 of them giving glen no credit or wishing him luck deary me
Re: 2018 BDO World Championship- Lakeside- 6th-14th January
Come on, he was disappointed to lose 5 sets in a row and also some decent payday. Had some chances and missed them all. Looked devastated - prefer this "real" interview over the usual phrases.dartsfan22 wrote:Waites gracious as ever in defeat there....

Don’t agree with sticking a mic in front of a losing player after he’s just walked off stage.
Re: 2018 BDO World Championship- Lakeside- 6th-14th January
Agreed, although sometimes a "raw" interview gives us a real insight of a players psyche.TheSandman wrote:Don’t agree with sticking a mic in front of a losing player after he’s just walked off stage.

I agree it’s a much more real interview but the players are far to emotional and trying to come to terms with defeat.slymaster wrote:Agreed, although sometimes a "raw" interview gives us a real insight of a players psyche.TheSandman wrote:Don’t agree with sticking a mic in front of a losing player after he’s just walked off stage.
Only need to look at the duzza interview after his loss v Adams or Waites where he looks suicidal to see players should get at least 10-15 mins before interview

You mean when Durrant lost to waites and Adams and didn’t say he let them win 5/6 sets and actually wished them luck?

Imagine if the employer (pdc ) said you could earn maybe 10 times what you do earn now if you do your job well, but are too afraid to take the opportunity #spinelessmkIIMurphio wrote:Not only that - imagine if your employer had the ability to withold/recoup everything you had earned from them in the last year.

There is no way Unterbuchner will beat McGeeney here....and no way McGeeney will beat Durrant
