And he's right - the tickets are already sold, so why the angst?
He's not right, just trolling or deluded.

He is not giving an opinion (he would have said, "I don't care who is in the PL), he's stating what he considers a fact: no-one cares. Well he's wrong, lots of folks were interested.

Secondly he makes a fundamental error. What he really is saying is the Pl isn't something of interest but starts with talking about the selection. You can actually lose (or have little) interest in the PL when it starts and yet still be interested in who actually is selected.

I, along with many others, watched the celebrations after the final but also continued watching to see what hearn had to say and who had been selected.
He is sarcastically giving his opinion, Crikey Marvin I know you are blinded by the light but even you must know that the vast majority of the audience of these things don't even care who's in it lol

That's very true, you could grab a couple of people off of the street and none would be the wiser.

Competitive is the key word there, they all get a big payday and only 2 of them have a realistic chance of winning.

No one's thinking of the impact caused to players who should rightly be there but get overlooked because someone has a longer goatee......

Bit like this years world championship with the same old faces in the semi finals. Oh wait.......

keep watching Joey. The most interesting line up in the Pl for years imo. The moaners will moan. The quenchers will quench. But the PDC will keep on going.

The discussion was why it holds little interest to many people, actually a hell of a lot on here too, why not put a counter argument instead of having a pop at folk?
Oh, and we can add sarcasm to humour as things you can't do ;-)

What I think he's saying is that people who know anything about the game of darts don't care, you can clearly see that by the antics of the crowd who attend.

We'll move on from 'has MVG won this yet', 'has Peter Wright won this yet' to 'has Rob Cross won this yet' soon enough.

I was on about Wright and MVG, Ando just doesn't seem interested in darts these days.

In a perfect scenario for hype, MVG will get his revenge and beat Cross in the Masters final next weekend, setting up a crazy PL rematch 4 days later!

How about VOLTAGE getting one over MvG in the Masters and MvG will be green with revenge for Dublin?

Wait a moment though.... That is not the Masters final I am hoping for since MvG in the Semis he should be facing a certain GARY ANDERSON which will UNDOUBTEDLY and HOPEFULLY try to pile more misery on the Green Machine..

Looking forward to a decent night in Glasgow. Was hoping Gary would get drawn against Gerwyn that night.

Absolutely. Day out on the lash in Glasgow before rocking up to the Hydro. Best atmosphere I have experienced at a darts venue.

It's fair to say Gary gets a good reception in Glasgow. :grin:
