Yeah, the GSOD is a bit of a special matter given that the PDC is expressly inviting players through criteria based on BDO competitions. I don't think accepting the place would contradict Montgomery's "only play for one organization at a time" ethos. And hey, maybe he'll like it so much that he ends up as the biggest name switcher of 2018...

Montgomery would only have to give the same line Adams did, 'the BDO asked me to do it'.

He has been consistent in his view, and I agree that he is perfectly entitled to to articulate that opinion. However circumstances and viewpoints change and for me, I would have no issue with him accepting a place in the GSOD should he have an invitation through the BDO's qualifying criteria.
Folk on here are calling him idiotic.

Yes, they may be and they are perfectly entitled to that opinion. Personally, as I have articulated, it is not one I agree with and think should Montgomery qualify, I would like to see him at the GSOD. Think it is important that the BDO are represented by their strongest possible players and the criteria they are using should ensure that. Would love to see Ross drawn in the same group as Gary, and for Ando to address his 0-2 record against Monty. :grin:

It's a pdc comp, so the term 'idiotic' probably meant something different to what you thought it meant.

Exactly, and it's probably more than he'll earn at any other competition all season.

Adams more than proved his point.

As he gets bowled out of Lakeside early every year, I would suggest it would be definitely more.
He could buy lots of creosote to paint his fences.

5 grand for being 3rd in the group last year.
Surely the BDO World number 5 wouldn't be bottom of the pile.

So your "facts" are not true, thought not, just waiting for the proof of him creosoting a fence or i'm 2/2 ;-)

Neil, Ian is alluding to the fact he got to a quarter final in 2015 means that your statement that he gets bowled out early EVERY year as being inaccurate.

You should know by now that his level of pedantry knows no bounds. :omg:

I like humouring him to a degree.
Frankly, 1 quarter final appearance in 10 attempts in a field of 32 is pathetic.

Yes, terrible record and pretty sure ifm would agree, were it not for him being more concerned with petty scoring points.

"More concerned with" should be "incapable of anything else than".
