First day can't expect to much.......all in all very good lakeside so far

Does anyone think Williams should go for QSchool?

No chance, based on tonight. Played a fantastic 3rd set, but was terrible in the 1st 2.

For me, would be pretty stupid of him, as I honestly don't think he would qualify, and would have burnt his bridges in the BDO.

[Murphio]

What a lovely bloke toney is

Agreed - shame to see him struggling to badly.

Already spoken to Jim in local tournaments about it and he doesn't have any interest in it.

O'Shea out with a 76 average. Oh dear.

Did anyone notice Aileen de Graaf's eyes, one a greyish colour and one a very vivid green. Seen her on TV a few times, but can honestly say it's the first time I've noticed that.

[scotty boy]

Other than the Durrant game, that was utter drivel. Hopefully picks up tomorrow

DavidB has just PM'd me, it was a fantastic session of darts this evening he said.

Some great names from the Lakeside:

Tom Sawyer
David Cameron

[markymark]

de Graaf was the best performer tonight. That second prelim game was awful. and I'm not buying into it being close making it a good game, it was dreadful. Just seemed to plod along for ages.

Tom Sawyer.. his parents must have been reading Huckleberry Finn at the time.

Lucky there isn't a highlight programme.

If you weren't expecting much, it certainly lived up to your expectations. Tonight was dreadful.

Unfortunately, I missed the afternoon session, and looks like the Durrant vs Kenny match was a decent game.

Is that one match your basis for articulating that it has been a very good Lakeside so far.

And what matches did you watch?

[Little Lonely Garry]

not sure why so many people are surprised the standard was that atrocious.

Everyone knew it was gonna be dire and it turned out that way.
Well done to the bdo and its players for proving me right

It's part of her name.
