Number 16 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 We're still in the first round and already it's looking like a classic competition. Barney, Cross, Smith and Dolan already gone. The quality of many of the younger players is amazing. And even a stone heart would have felt something for Suzuki at her narrow loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 16 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 Great game and thoroughly deserved. I feel for the loser, Ted Evett, as that's one monkey that he'll never shake off. Still. So happy for Fallon and the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be awful playing her because the crowd are so extreme whenever she's up! They hate the opponent and love her! Bull finish too to win!

Took the dog out for a walk this morning, got back in and zapped some Quick Oats in the microwave. Sat down on settee and turned the TV on. Remembered that the darts would still be going on so I put the Fox sports channel on and saw the 3 match winning darts that Fallon threw. Great start to the day.

DavidM Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 That was even better . Far better opponent, masses of attention and pressure piled on her since the other day . Just can’t knock that , it takes talent and it takes mental strength under that spotlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDuke Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 It’s a very good standard and there are probably 60 players in the world that can score 100+ averages on their day its certainly more professional nowadays but in someways it’s lost it’s characters, I’m not harking back to the days of Jockey Wilson etc, 10-15 years ago when Manley and Mardle where in their pomp I thought there seemed to be some real rivalries That said i don’t miss Phil Taylor- good darts player yes, humble - No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 16 Posted December 26, 2019 Author Share Posted December 26, 2019 A couple of the commentators have mentioned it. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him in the 2020 Premier League. Hearn would jump at the chance of the Power returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Evans Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Is there only me that doesn't get darts? So many of my pals love it and its very popular with the brethren over at fev so its clearly an issue for me rather than anyone else Since when was a pub game elevated to this level of hysteria? Cribbage up next? I really don't understand the hype and pleasure it so obviously brings to so many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a large part of it’s popularity is that the rules are simple, widely understood and all the drama is captured perfectly by the cameras. Also as most people have played darts at some point there is a respect for how good these players are at the highest level compared to your own experiences.
