Re: BDO CHAMPION SMASHES PLASTIC CHAMP
Good to see he acknowledges winning last night meant more than winning 3 Potter Cups. Very little left for the few plebs clinging to the old df rubbish. No Winmau No Bunting now no Durrant. All that's left is a "Quiet appreciative crowd"

Re: BDO CHAMPION SMASHES PLASTIC CHAMP
Great result for Glen and it is good to see how better competition has brought him on in his darts. He can probably rely on a few more big paydays now instead of the once a year he used to get

Salt tears from the fanboys. Wonderful scenes.
This one’s for fandarts. The day MVG learned the truth!

Re: BDO CHAMPION SMASHES PLASTIC CHAMP
A most enjoyable match to watch, looking forward to seeing how he does against Wade.

I presume you are joking? He is playing exactly the same as he has done for the past 5 years.dartsyoungun wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 12:03 pm Great result for Glen and it is good to see how better competition has brought him on in his darts.
Re: BDO CHAMPION SMASHES PLASTIC CHAMP
His performances here have been on the better side of his BDO performances, but certainly not exceptional for him. (Just check dartsdatabase for his recent BDO major and GSoD averages).Addicks Fan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 1:03 pmI presume you are joking?

That he had the scoring power to compete with the top players in the PDC has never been in doubt (for anybody with an ounce of objectivity). It's always been about whether he had the temperament to do it. He;s done well in Players Championships but until the Matchplay had been awful on the stage (he's had ZERO wins against decent players on the European Tour). He still choked in his game against van Gerwen at 11-10 up, but he recovered well with a 15 dart leg against the throw and a hold of 17 dart legs to win against an out-of-form van Gerwen. (Not that van Gerwen was terrible, it's just that the difference between 15 darts and 16 darts plus is so huge.)
Durrant v Wade will be interesting over the longer format. Wade generally beats players with his consistency and finishing. This year Durrant has lost a lot of games by missing doubles that would allow him to break in 15, and then having a bad leg on his own throw. If he plays well, he could blow Wade away, but I'd expect a close game.

Re: BDO CHAMPION SMASHES PLASTIC CHAMP
It was an off-form MVG that's for sure. He would have normally killed that game when Durrant wobbled at the end.1205 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 1:32 pmHis performances here have been on the better side of his BDO performances, but certainly not exceptional for him.

The pressure of being the unanimous World champion was to much for MGV.........Glen however rose to the occasion.ChrisW wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 1:40 pmIt was an off-form MVG that's for sure.

Re: BDO CHAMPION SMASHES PLASTIC CHAMP
His performances should be better and with significantly higher averages as , according to the anti PDC rhetoric, the easier bigger trebles and doubles of the Unicorn boards should of improved his scoring.

Re: BDO CHAMPION SMASHES PLASTIC CHAMP
Thought the match was poor,and Durrants interview after was laughable.He only beat a well below par MVG,which isnt too difficult.
Try losing 14 stone in 7 years,now thats difficult.
