Des Jacklin resigns

[TheVillan]

A few pro des folks still defending.

In other news, the sky is blue, bears caught defecating near trees, and Pope is partial to discussion of ecumenical matters.

Steve Brown plays on the same tour he runs, does he?
As for the WDC I had it in my head Cox ran it until Hearn came a-knocking.

I acceed to your superior knowledge of Cox.

My view it’s one of lr, Chris mason , Dave whitcombe one of those 3 would provide respect from players, most county officials & the general darting world & provide a bridge between both orgs, providing they throw there hats in the ring of course

Mason ffs
Give your head a shake man

And as for me “rigging the draw so my Mrs gets a an easier game, first of all that’s pretty disrespectful to the other player that has had to win an International event out right or get so high up an a rankings system that gives her automatic qualification? Paula’s first game at the World Masters 2019 was against the current World Cup Champion, it was only because some so called (BDO fanatics / experts ?????) didn’t know who the Lady was that they assumed it was a fix, tell me? If I’m giving my Mrs free ride, do I put her against the World Cup Champ, FIRST ROUND??? Christ sake

she is the current European Champion you fkking twt

Er, the more pressing issue was making names up and increasing the seed numbers.
And he even got that wrong

Think he also missed what he was being accused of. It wasn't that he had picked a player for Paula. It was that he fabricated players names to get to the threshold to increase the number of seeds. Paula therefore becoming a seed

[Ginge]

Didnt someone collate a list on here of the 20 or so mens names that were made up?

Tommy Thompson”s chicken coup was a real stab in the back for Des.

He knows exactly what he was accused of doing, largely because he did what he was accused of doing.
But rather than admit to it, he's making up a completely new accusation (which no-one accused him of), of which he is innocent, and hoping no-one will notice the difference.

Also, is it just me, or does anyone else find it staggering to see the "world's greatest businessman" taking such pride in his own borderline illiteracy?

"Des Paula Jacklin" now back, I see. Didn't take long.

Fabulous news.

It is good news, but probably too late to save the BDO. Let's hope not.

Whoever takes over has one job: to liquidate.

KPMG would be a good choice.....

[TheSandman]

Even liquidating the BDO isn’t exactly gonna raise much to pay the production companies and whoever else has been bumped.

A niche sport

Not like many would be interested in darts equipment, maybe the edo or WDF might snap it up at a bargain.

Can see the PDC being interested in the BDO’s video library. Certainly the pre 1993 stuff. Stick it all on pdc tv.

Let's hope its correctly licenced or some busybody with feck all better to do might report them and then get a little stiffy watching the outcome.
