PDC Grand Slam of Darts- 10th-18th November 2018- Wolverhampton

9% checkout rate for Scotty Dog

The Bournemouth Echo article this week should be good.

"Yeah I went for the wrong double but look at my average on Sunday!"

He went for the wrong double?

Yes. In the last leg of the game he had 40 left and went for D10. Went into single 10 and then missed two at D5.

Bunting comes back to the board and cleans up 60

[clemy1989]

Strong potential of all 8 bdo boys going straight out. When was the last time they all failed to get out the group? It would be a shame to lose them all but its indicative of the bdo level now. Bar Durrant it's basically challenger tour standard as shown by the last 2 masters winners.

Hahahaha
Have to watch that back later.
What a moby.

Maybe this will be the push duzza needs to switch.

I’d say this is going to cause the exact opposite

Play like that and be favourite for lakeside each year or play like that and have A 50/50 match on tv each tournament

Bunting now guaranteed £12,500, which moves him up to 19th on the OOM ahead of Mervyn King.
Will play Van den Bergh or McGeeney in the last 16. If he wins that, he'll overtake Huybrechts for 18th.

Words fail.

Williams wins this by 2 legs and he has a sniff. Would need Wright to then win 5-1 or better.

I think.

At least one of them must get through surely.

They must do, if only to stop Oche's Twitter meltdown this evening.
It's in full flow atm.

We all saw him stood next to the telly in the Willy cheering them all on...

Living every dart in the last 4 matches. For some reason the first 4 weren't as important...

Apparently it's not relevant once the BDO are out.

Quality from Jimmy Williams.

Correct, I lose interest in it.

Have to say Zapp, that I both agree with what Clemy has to say, but also take on board your viewpoint.

For me tonight will be a huge factor in the decision Duzza makes in regard to where he plays darts next year.

Durrant is clearly a very good player, but his lack of match practise against top quality opposition has seen him lose in the Masters final to a Challenge Tour Player and go out of the GSOD in the Group Stages.

Wake up call either way. He can either go to Q School, get his card and become a professional darts player pushing himself on a weekly basis against top quality players, or he can decide to miss Q School, play the BDO and exhibitions and make a decent living on those circuits whilst continuing with his job as a Housing Manager.

Personally I have no issue with whichever of those 2 routes he chooses to go down, as would respect his decision either way, but surely in the future Glen would be asking himself "What if" if he goes down the latter route.

Me too. If Gary Robson in left in though I will also lose interest.

Quite.

[MrLil8]

Wright has been shite all tournament and is going to qualify. Plenty others have been better and are out.

It's not all down to quality.
