The John Michael Appreciation Thread

[Mensur Suljovic Fan]

Would imagine that if he asked for dispensation to go to Romania, that he would have wanted to do his home event too. Not like either are high profile, if I were the PDC I'd just say sod it and let them play in these smaller ones

[Paddy McGinty]

He should be stopped, he made his choice.......

Bump

Will our Greek hero be stealing some more BDO Lakeside points off the Travel Club in Greece this coming weekend?

Lets hope so

Looks like it - still in the registration list. No streaming either, so who's gonna stop him?

If it's not streamed, the PDC doesn't care, just as it doesn't care about playing in the numerous local tournaments that PDC players play in.

[Bag Carrier]

I think this may be streamed now.

Had a message asking if streaming affects Ana playing in the event

Phil Davies being a cunt there

Phil Davies being a fraggle there

Darts for all... stupidist line ever when its clearly not. Also the BDO should be happy when PDC tour card holders enter their points event.

Also again Oche hates people discussing the BDO

Des has said he has no issue, the only person with an issue is Hearn

Strangely you dont mention this

The PDC obviously has a tour card system for a good reason its understandable Hearn wouldnt want his stars playing on TV for a different organisation I dont think streams that get very little numbers should matter but thats up to Hearn and if their not streamed then it should be no problem. The BDO needs all the publicity it can get for its ranked events and should not put up any restrictions on tour card holders entering. Also any BDO player who moans about them taking ranking points is pathetic and should put more time on the practice board to beat them rather than moaning about it. adam Smith Neale was right about those type of people that moaned when he won in Romania.

The Greek open is going to be streamed, The Romanian Open which had a tour card holder was a one off and will not happen again.

I had no issue with Michel playing in it. When you go on about Publicity theirs a number of pdc players who are doing the BDO (Caven, Harris, Portela) Strangly they havent teared it up yet

[Ginge]

Also you are always defensive as if Im attacking the BDO when i'm not i'm simply stating my opinions. I like all darts.

You should see him watching a game on the telly that is a PDC player versus a BDO one. As if his life depends on the result. Amusing to witness.

Ha! Tell us more

[oche balboa]

Team BDO all the way.

[ILAD]

Did the BDO force him to withdraw? Or the PDC?

[Addicks Fan]

Who knows, but according to the rules, unless it is streamed, no-one could force him to withdraw!

[trotter01]

Personally I don't think PDC Tour card holders should be allowed to play in anything carrying BDO points...

Non Tour card holders like Caven , Portela , Harris etc are no more PDC players than Jim Williams or Scott Waites..they all failed to get a card and are as entitled to play BDO ranked events as players like Williams and Waites.

Let them play wherever I say!
