heydon with the mvg stoop

[BOOM]

Was Nicholson actually suggesting there that Deta Hedman has been a better player than the likes of Wade, Baxter, etc? Or was his point a bit more nuanced than I picked up?

I think he meant relative to the other players she's competed against in the women's game.

Hedman has the kind of action you expect to fall apart, and it does. So, I disagree with him.
When it goes she strays into low numbers, and worse, misses set-up singles that causes her to loses a lot of darts at doubles.

Aye well that would make the most sense but he talks so much bollocks that I wasn't sure...

[DavidB]

Well if she is still getting sponsored to do the events it’s still a nice little earner for Deta.

Why anyone would have thought she was gunna win this though I have no idea.

Why anyone would have thought Jamie Lewis will win more majors than Daryl Gurney I have no idea...

[Addicks Fan]

Good match this - Veenstra is ridiculously streaky!

[DavidB]

Thought people were praising the full production? Its just the commentators moving to the stage between the matches and the players being interviewed in the crowd.

Stage looks good but its looking more and more like a a few people watching in a working mens club, the camera during that whole preview of the next game just had the bar front and center.

One for the purists this, suppose you’d like them on the balcony relaxing on the chaises lounge in a sky style

If your asking would I prefer a studio over awkwardly standing on the stage while the camera picks up everything in the background then the answer is yes I would.

Well Sky mostly do the same and at least they aren’t in the players bar...

What exactly was picked up in the background?? I mean
even if they were in a studio facing the crowd the camera would still pick things up??

[ChrisW]

This is a Lakeside Classic!

[Dannyboy]

Not a shock this from Nigel; he’s done it on the ProTour for a long time until his dodgy back came into play.

Have you been watching the same coverage as everyone else?
Everytime Adams has been on stage and he appears on the screens the crowd there start howling like idiots to the point you are struggling to pick out what is actually being said.

[ChrisW]

Timely 12 darter from Flyers.

[Addicks Fan]

What a checkout!

[ChrisW]

Brilliant from Heydon.

[Dannyboy]

That checkout was unbelievable

[Zapp Brannigan]

That throwing action can’t be nice for heydon and his back

[Zapp Brannigan]

Good match this

Wish mace and Paul would shut the fuck up

Not had a problem hearing myself

Wolfie has once or twice had to ask Nat to repeat the question though!

[Zapp Brannigan]

What the hell was heydon doing at the end then

[DavidB]

Well that was a great game, just one leg over 18 in 5 sets that went to sudden death, great viewing!!!

[ChrisW]

Excellent stuff.

[Addicks Fan]

This is a Lakeside Classic!

Absolutely! Great match, very tense, Heydon was very unlucky not to win that!

[Ginge]

Was he actually aiming for T7 in that last leg?
