European Tour 2019

[Duterprat]

Weird, the MC does not know that James Wade has withdrawn? Or has he un-withdrawn in the meantime?

Durrant again beaten, I really wonder how some people did not see this coming and even demanded a PL wildcard for him. He is, after switching to the professional side of the sport, just an average PDC player. No more, no less. Can't buy anything for the three amateur titles there, besides some proper brownnosing and arselicking by several commentators.

I think JC might be using this in his blog tonight

Duzza just not getting to grips with the ET this year out early yet again.

He isn't playing badly, but not used to coming up against players who don't fold when he pressurises them.

Think, draw dependant he will have a really good Matchplay, and will go close to winning an ET event later in the season.

A few of us said exactly this.

It's not others not folding, it's him choking. He's one of the best scorers in the game, but he struggles to set up and finish under pressure.

I expect him to lose his first game at the Matchplay, assuming he makes it.

[McCleaner]

Durrant has already won a pro tour event and is 4th on the pro tour order of merit.

Well this can’t be right, I thought the dart threads were dead?

But, but, but, he won 3 Lakesides.
Losing to the cheating hippy is pretty embarrassing. Probably a bit late to make JC's ramblings this week.

Ha!
JC not mentioning Duzza and Dawson would be a miracle.

Be amazed if he doesn't mention the "coal scavenging Welsh manlet" and "ski slope face" after their face-off on Thursday.

"The biggest win of my career so far"



Oche, assemble!!!!!!

[Ginge]

McGeeneys Lakeside semi final win seemingly now less important to him than a Last 32 win in a Euro Tour event. Chortle.

McGeeneys Lakeside semi final win seemingly now less important to him than a Last 32 win in a Euro Tour event. Chortle.

Ah, but it wasn't his career then

[1205]

McGeeneys Lakeside semi final win seemingly now less important to him than a Last 32 win in a Euro Tour event. Chortle.

The one where he won averaging 88.84?
Had it been a better standard against Unterbuchner or had he beaten Durrant in the final, maybe he'd be talking differently.

This win is another 1k of earnings and towards keeping his PDC card, plus an opportunity to earn more. So, this is a bigger deal.

Shambles again on PDC.tv stream.

Most of JDZ vs Cross missed as stream buffering.

Whilst a huge fan of the PDC, the streaming issues during the ET events is unacceptable for a subscription service.
