FFS. Expected this type of response from the forum troll and resident Fusilier drinker.

So the CT and Development Tour are not PDC initiatives. :banghead:
Yes for some but MVG had already proved he was a talented player by winning the Masters and Dutch open before moving accross. Didn't do a lot for his hair though......
No no no, he never played in the bdo at all, ever.

MVG was a brilliant talent when he played in the BDO, and like most players, he has progressed through that organisation, before moving across to the PDC.

Think you are arguing with yourself, as very few would disagree that the BDO system is where most professional darts players get their grounding in the sport.

The point being made was that in the case of Cross and MVG, their success on the PDC Challenge Tour and Youth/Development Tours have been the catalyst for them playing at their current high levels.
Yes :DDDD:

That is exactly the case. I don't think I have ever seen anyone claim otherwise so i think that is a bit of a strawman argument. All that has been said is that the PDC's introduction of satellite tours allowed MVG to take a step away from the dog eat dog world of top level darts to regain the mojo he had already shown while playing in the BDO.
I think the idea was that the Development tour made him, this is simply not the case.

Who has said that? I have genuinely never, ever seen that claimed. It is pretty common knowledge MVG was a top talent in the BDO. He lost his way and the development tour allowed him to regain his confidence. I haven't seen a single post on here to the contrary.

Ummm you are the one ignoring the fact, it reminds me of the odds in a comp draw, forget the history and just go with what you want.
Bizarre.

Have to say, if it wasn't for the fact I am a Moderator on this forum, and as such frequently have to edit and delete your posts following reports for alleged rampant homophobic and racist content I would put you on ignore.

Hey, ho, the sacrifices us mods make on behalf of the forum.

I didn't want to get into individual posts, as it was the general argument I was highlighting, but SSJA agreed that the Challenge Tour was the making of Cross, as was the Development Tour for MvG. That is just another of many examples of people giving credIit for players talent to a darting org that merely gives them an opportunity to show that talent.

There was neither but don't let that stop you repeating it eh?
One of the reasons you are such a bad mod.
Count yourself lucky, at least you can block me, I can't block your crappy, ugly graphs, believe me I've tried ;)

Fantastic debate on this subject, and with the exception of our resident Fusilier drinker, think every other poster is contributing in a genuine manner, and posting their genuine and honest opinions.

Will try and keep up with this thread, however the Glorious Hoops are just about to kick off against Bayern at Paradise, so my priorities are firmly at Celtic Park for the next 2 hours.

Rob Cross has developed into one excellent dart player, came from practically nowhere. Not many people picked him in their UK open choices the other year,when Barry Lynn also did the business. What happened to him?

Played all this year plus UK Open qualifiers. £0 in UK Open and two QFs in Challenge Tour, so pretty poor return really

Remarkable the difference in two players fortunes and career. One player on the way to the top echelons and the other to the dogs.

Yes, I understand, you are very much a pro pdc poster and I am unbiased, though as a mod you really should be trying to hide your distasteful attitude.
