Wade never hit the big averages when he was in the top 5. No one claimed he was second rate.
He was winning majors.
Duzza has won majors

The BDO World Championship is a major.
No, it's not. It used to be.
Now the prize money equates to a PDC EuroTour event, and no-one thinks they're majors.
What a load of bollocks, Lakeside was a major, simple.

Nick and David both using the past tense and therefore both agreeing with each other, there.

Agreed. :D
Lakeside was a major.
O2 was not.

Lakeside is finished, past tense is the correct grammar.

Ok in which case you actually agree with what David said then.

No because when Duzza won it was Lakeside and a major.

It's quite incredible.
He's agreeing with me then coming back on to say he isn't.

Yes, Nick - Duzza won majors.
Yes, Nick - Lakeside was always a major.

Things changed with the move to the O2 and the massive reduction in prize money.
THAT event IS not a major.

This is what I quoted, Ian said Duzza has won majors and lists the BDO World championship as the example, David says it isn't a major but used to be, he doesn't specify when he last regarded it as a major and the inference is clearly that it was not a major when Duzza won it otherwise he would have quantified his remarks.

Clear to me.

Goodness Nick. Sometimes its best just to admit Ginge is right and you 100% agreed with David. It's not a big deal. You would try and argue your way out of a paper bag.

I agree with you Nick. Plainly obvious what the original inference was. Followed by a whole heap of backtracking.

Regardless of total farcical organisation, prize money etc I’d say this years BDO still a major. A devalued and tarnished one but a major all the same.

What's your definition of long format out of interest?
Anything over best of 19 or around that. He seems to fall quite a way short whenever he faces Wright in a long format game.
Bump.
