All these ifs, buts and could haves makes no different to the fact he did not do it, and not only was taylors average higher by SIX points, but maintained over 9 legs not 5 like geert.

for the record geerts average is not even in the top 25 tv averages today

De Vos was close to a 120 average before his last few visits if I remember correctly. Crazy match from Geert.

It was. Had a chance to create a tv world record from memory.

nonsense.
Even if Geert did not fall off at the end and hit that magical 120 mark it still would NOT have been a world tv record.
even a 121 average would not have been enough, nor would a 122 average.
I will let you find out for yourself the highest tv average

But, but you posted that even had he hit the 120 average that it would not have been the highest tv average. How can this be.

ah yes, I forgot how pedantic you are.
Of course had he hit a 120 it would have been the highest, if only for a few months. I was referring to the fact all the averages I refer to are in the past and was speaking of all high averages.

However Geert ended up not even close to this "record on tv" nonsense you spouted....he was over 6 points away from the then record held by Taylor, and in terms of averages 6 points is a huge gulf.
But you like many love these- if, but,could have, scenarios and its ridiculous

Another thing, fat lot of good that average was to him in the end, seeing as he could not get out of the group he was in that had johnny claton, terry jenkins and robert thornton.

Garry Murphy wrote:it would not have been a world record today was my point.
But you know that is what I meant and are being obstinate because I pulled you up on your ridiculous claim how geert was close.
Or maybe you were not intelligent enough to grasp my point, which is more likely.
Anyhow de Vos was over 3 points away from the then record....not ever close.

Placeholder for you to use the words
"if"
"could"
"had he"

Never ceases to amaze me all those who harp on about de vos hitting 115 conveniently ignore how the day before he lost 5-0 to terry jenkins with average of 87

Many times it has been said the inclusion of the bdo men (pity des was out voted to put Lisa Ashton in) creates the main interest. Does for me anyway.

Well on real fanatics folk are already posting how to avoid paying to watch the bdo players in the gsod.

Admin on there seem okay with that!

Whatever your view on watching subscription TV for free (stealing in my view) surely you can't describe yourself, or your site, as a bdo fanatic when you are not willing to pay to watch?

Streams are ok but you can't beat the Quality of Sky. You will enjoy the darts much more watching on there.

Would never be hypocritical and comment on people using streams as I use them myself fairly regularly, but not normally for darts as I have Sky and subscribe to PDC.tv. That being said I did use Mobdro to watch the darts from Vegas as I was in Mexico at the time.

Slymaster also had it at 113.86 like Premium Dart Data.

De Vos averaging almost 6 points less than Taylor over 5 legs
as opposed to taylor averaging 118 over the longer distance of 9 legs.

That is not close.
