2018 PDC World Cup of Darts
Re: 2018 PDC World Cup of Darts
Well looks like I am in a very small minority of posters who dislike this competition.
Will not be changing my mind, as long as there are two man teams in it and the format is changed.

Re: 2018 PDC World Cup of Darts
Think the pdc are out there looking for the next Germany. Spread the net wide and see what catches. If they get investment from a couple of Asian countries of say £500,000 that could be another 4/5 euro tour style events or concert the current WSOD into full rankingBlueSpark wrote:Well looks like I am in a very small minority of posters who dislike this competition.

We go through this every year, it's the worst tournie in darts because it proves there is no strength in depth in the pdc, a comp where only 2 "countries" can even compete {placeholder for someone to mention a one off}, inviting random players to make up the numbers.
So many very poor players getting thrashed is not interesting, close games are.
The only real interest is the selection because of all the politics.

You can say that about any TV darts event anywhere, the eventual winners are 99% from the same 2 or 3 countries. Does that mean it should all be abandoned lol?ifm wrote:It's pdc........BlueSpark wrote:Well looks like I am in a very small minority of posters who dislike this competition.

The English, Scottish, Dutch and Australian pairs this year should all be very close.

Completely pointless tournament for the Major nations, the smaller nations have the chance to make a story for themselves(in their own country).
Format change for me would be to add a women into the mix.

Re: 2018 PDC World Cup of Darts
adding women into it would make it an even worse tourney
apart from england holland russia, maybe wales and and australia, theres even less depth in the womens game.

Your thoughts are entirely accurate. I am 100% Scottish, and am proud to be so.ChrisW wrote:A former mod said over the road you identify yourself as Irish.ssjsa wrote:With the greatest of respect Chris, WTF are you on about.ChrisW wrote:Is that because you think you are Irish?ssjsa wrote:Like this tournament, but will be avoiding putting a bet on the Scottish team.

Think someone is on the total wind up, as I have never, and would never identify myself as being connected in any way to being Irish.
Being as you articulate it was a former mod, and wasn't you, can only presume it must have been Col, deliberately taking the piss out of the gullible.
Which forum was this on, and which idiots fell for this, as I will have a look and give myself a good laugh.
Oh and did any of said idiots respond with photoshopped pictures of me with Glitter and Saville.
