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

I don't think this stepping back before important doubles is working for Unterbuchner. Anyone knows if he always does that?

[DavidB]

Great result for Germany’s number 1 against a potential PL player!

[DavidB]

The amount of adverts during this tournement is utterly ridiculous and makes it very hard to enjoy watching it live.

Have you never watched darts on Sky before??

It’s not usually quite as bad as it is in this one.

Plus I usually watch something else then watch it a bit later so I can fast forward the adverts. But their is Jack shit on the telly tonight.

Ah that explains it then...

Well, he's not a really quick player.

Not working might just be a matter of pressure.
But not surprising he was feeling some pressure. He just earned himself 10 grand, which is between the BDO World Championship QF (6.5k) and SF (15k) prizes.

Now let's how Brown reacts to the pressure.

Seemed to be working to me. Only one he missed was the bull for the 164 when he did it.

White is joke and anyone who even suggests that he ahould be anywhere near the PL needs to sort their head out. Ona positive the bookies were equally clueless in offering such good Odds on Unterbuchner to beat White when he should have been favorite. Not that I should complain seeming I just made a tidy little profit from it.

Have defended Ian White previously on the forum, but have to say he was terrible tonight against a very average Michael Unterbuchner. Credit to the young German who held himself together far better than the more experienced White.

White was cruising then started shaking like a shitting dog, and despite scoring okay, was abysmal on his doubles even when he was not under pressure.

He definitely missed two times he tried it. I think the other one was the one that went in the wrong double.

Oche will be like a pig in shit...I know he already resembles a pig but he will be overjoyed that at least 1 BDO player is through to the KO stages

I think the vast majority of the forum will be pleased to see that the BDO will be represented in the knockout stages.

Anther great match. Level after 6 legs and both players on fire.

[ssjsa]

What a bull that was from Keegan Brown. Right in the very centre of the inner ring.

[Mgt]

This is sensational!!

[Mgt]

Excellent match that, a shame one of them had to lose.

[1205]

Now let's how Brown reacts to the pressure.

Well.

But, who is that man and what did he do to Wesley Harms?

[tapsa]

What You'll need to get BDO player through?

A German player

And Dutch...

[DavidB]

Dire stuff this, anyone still think either will get out of the group??

That 153 checkout from Keegan was fantastic, but both players very inconsistent at the moment. Think Wade is a near certainty to win this group, and the winner of this match favourite to finish 2nd, but Harms has a decent chance of getting that spot.

The only bright spot. No way is the winner of that match favourite to finish 2nd, Harms at least on a par.

Keegan averaging 90 despite the missed doubles. Would back Brown if it can down to a winner takes all 3rd group match.

Any luck??

Fantastic match with neither player deserving to lose. Both were brilliant.

Harms progresses to knockout stages and if he can play to that standard over 19 legs, he could take a few legs off Gary in the last 16.

Great match harms and brown, bring on the 5-0 mvg borefest
