Surprised the PDC didn't go for a bigger major though.

Would be a nice gesture if the BDO named a trophy after Eric.
Perhaps the WDT coming up.

What bigger major ?...The Worlds is The Sid Waddell trophy....the Matchplay is the Phil Taylor trophy.....in my opinion the Grand Slam is the next biggest anyway now it's ranked....

In the context gaz was on about yes it's still alive but it's on life support, there is a DNR clipped to the bed, the relatives are in it's house dividing up its belongings, the priest is outside the ward clutching a Bible and the undertaker is measuring up as we speak.
My point was the bdo "world pro" is dead.
Only a deluded imbecile considers that a true world championships.

Some say it died the day of the split, some even think it was when Barney left, but the reality is today other than the 6 figure pay check, it has zero credibility.
Christian kist won it ffs. the same pdc jobber who went from october last year to almost april this year without a single win in the PDC
Wasn't there a reason for his drop in form :)

I know they had a fall out re the double/cheat scandal thing but you'd have thought in the aftermath of Eric's death the man who made himself a multi millionaire on the back of Eric's generosity would have a little more to say about the death of his former mentor. Have I missed something?

Ah, fair enough. I had missed that. Nice words from Phil - I retract that above post.
Too late, Ginge has bookmarked it to quote back at you ad infinitum :)

Someone should reply to that tweet, asking what the BDO’s tribute is going to be.

RIP. Got to say Justin’s column this week was spot on about how shabbily the great man was treated by Sky.

Couldn't find anything he wrote about Bristow, just Dan Dawson.

You must have given up reading halfway through then, there are a few paragraph on it towards the end.

Did find it amusing though what is no.3 in the search results of 'Justin Cr***ble darts' on Google.
The dart board has become more infamous than him.
