MAD Becomes ADC

[Little Lonely Garry]

To be fair, all of Rout, Oche and Gaz have at some point said Cullen is a bottler and/or will never win anything, so the last few posts have been the online equivalent of three bald men fighting over a comb. It's entertaining, mind.

Absolutely. And I'd generally agreed that Cullen has a terrible history of not turning up for telly events. But what you have here is someone who wrote that Cullen wouldn't win anything of note calling out someone else who said almost exactly the same thing.

Huge levels of imbecility on show from all concerned. The lack of self awareness is remarkable, really

the masters is not a title of note though, unless of course you see it as some prestigious event.

for me a title of note would be one that is ranked, but why let details like that get in the way of obsessing

where as oche said he would never win on tv, which he did.
michael smith won a shanghai masters on tv, another non ranked event and I would not consider that a title of note

Of course it is 'of note'. It is a televised title with a significant prize fund played in an arena full of spectators. You must be the only person on early who would try and claim otherwise.

I have always been consistent that ranking tv titles trumps exbos, invitationals etc
believe Cross European Champs trumps Cullens non ranking title

I am a Wade fan and even i complaim when they announce him as the winner of 10 or 11 majors, sometimes they even count that mickey mouse CLoD.

That said happy for Cullen, and would have been for chizzy too, but one of them chokers had to win the event after both reached the final. If cullen goes on to win a TV title of note i will gladly accept I was wrong.....

Cullen won a TV title, I said he wouldn't I was wrong

Thats it really. JC twists in the wind is pathetic

he played another choker in the final so someone had to win. Does that make him no longer a choker ?

I clearly stated something of note, ie a ranking title....oche said tv title.
Not every tv title is important one or the a ranking title.

In fact the PDC themselves have a skewed vision of what constitutes important.Cross won 100k when he won the Ranking European champs
Cullen won only 60k in a non ranked comp yet he gets the spot in the PL over Cross

For me the european champs is a more prestigious event, if not one of the real majors

It’s actually £120k so double the Masters. Twice as important

Plenty of time for it to be binned just like every other big event their predecessor tried to organise.

even if this shit goes ahead....and 20k each gender, most likely at most a first prize of 5k...pittance

The link has the prize split. It isnt 50/50.

even if its male heavy, I still dont see both winners getting more than 10k between them., even if it was 7 and 3 , 6 and 4 or whatever.

as you say if it goes ahead, were they not running an andy fordham event in november or somewhere around then or was that modus ?

Running a load of international qualifiers for it ffs. Have they actually had a bang on the head?

I prefer to just make things up rather than reading. I think it'll be 100k and 99k.
