Read elsewhere that Anderson was moaning about the venue yet again, just after averaging 110+ and thrashing White.

Whats his problem? Moaning for the sake of it, turning into a Ronnie O'Sullivan character. From what Ive seen of the venue on the telly you couldnt really tell its a leisure centre, done a good job of hiding it.

What you see and what the players and staff see is another matter.
Hasselt for the Euros behind the curtains was awful. Ice box.

Ah so his moan was about behind the scenes? Fair enough. Nobody can really be happy about being there, you imagine the PDC are being kept sweet in some way by the local council to stay in the area.

If you are winning matches averaging 110+ though, my sympathy is somewhat limited.

Apparently I should be crying about yesterday's results, any idea which ones exactly?

"Hey shouldn't you be crying about the grand slam with your buddies elsewhere?"

Edit. There are his exact words. Strange because I thought I was Billy no mates!

Basically, I pulled him up on his massive contradiction. And by the looks, having thought of no retort, he re-used the one he said to you some hours earlier. Even though I have said for ages that once the BDO players are out, I lose all interest in this tournament.
Ill give him a couple of hours to think of something else before I comment again.

I was there for the evening session on Saturday, couldn’t vault the venue at all from a spectator’s point of view.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, once the BDO lads are all out I lose interest in this.
Is that because you can't mock them anymore?

Can't argue with much of what he says in that.
