Hahaha yeah he insulted someone's wife, the loveable rogue! OK, fine. The BDO can take credit for DBG's personal and darting development.

Thanks for putting down Mitchell being top of the CT as a coup for the BDO. It's great to have a good laugh at something on a grey Monday.
Cheers :)

Almost as funny as when someone suggested Durrant would benefit from playing CT.

Durrant: 2nd in the PL. Unbeaten after two weeks.

Harms: Beat Anderson yesterday in a PC event.

Ratajski: Won a PC event this evening.

Jeff Smith: Made the final of PC event last weekend.

Scott Mitchell: Top of the CT.

Fallon Sherrock: PDC' biggest drawing card.

If you are going to criticise the BDO, at least have the honesty to give them due credit. They are still the PDC's main source of talent and without them the PDC's tour would be a lot less well off.
Harms has beat one top player, it happens. Let's see if he continues winning.
Please remember that Aiden Kirk once beat Phil Taylor on TV and where is he now.

It's sad. The BDO had a marketable alternative to the PDC and their 8 players. Yet it was all squandered by the Williams administration. They couldn't run a bath, let alone a darts organisation.
Are Searle, Aspinall and Ratajski part of that 8 players?

This post by waz just shows he is on here to wind folk up and have a laugh at them.
noone seriously believes the pdc were only about 8 players (in the era he refers to).

Harms beating Anderson gave me a proper laugh. He joins a list of Anderson conquerors including John Bowles and Shaun Griffiths. Amazing.

Nobody denies there is players that can come across to the PDC and do well.. A lot do well.. A lot don't.. That will always be the case and a lot are capable of a run or two on any given day on the pro tour..

But the argument remains that the BDO itself is the shambles with its leadership and organisation and not an attack on the players in that system whereby some will always filter across to be good PDC players..

A lot of posters on here expressly deny that fact and look foolish over and over again, if you’re honest.

As did Andy Callaby and Adrian Gray.

I reckon you can probably find quite a few Anderson shockers on the floor over the years... As well as some stormers like..

It's a well known fact that the BDO create all these players in their underground factory out of lager and fairy dust.

You're confusing it with how Rout was made.
