TheDuke Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 It’s the nip and tuck and the fact someone can be miles ahead and lose by a dart Theres a bit of banter and it’s probably the only sport where fans will boo and hiss at both players and cheers them too Players can be made to be pantomime villains one week and are heroes the next. There isn’t any real clubs or teams etc to be attached to so it can be supported as a neutral Unless it’s Phil Taylor or Aidy Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By rights I should support Gerwyn Price, but I can't stand him. Well done, Peter Wright for deflecting Price's aggressive attitude.

Number 16 Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 Yes, there is just something about Price that makes him impossible to like! He threw another hissy fit tonight. Snakey is looking good but still he won't do MvG in the final. Nathan Aspinall looks to have what it takes to step up to the next level. Permanently. I love watching the PDC and there are some amazing young players coming through nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 What an absolute prat Price is . And he wonders why no one likes him ? It’s all giving it large and bully boy intimidation when it’s going well and then all the toys come out when he gets it back . He’s crossed the line against Whitlock and Anderson . He’s getting right arrogant . I was chuffed Peter Snakebite shoved it up him . I wish him luck ( finally ) in the final against his nemesis ... although if MVG plays like that he’s got a shout . Although I doubt he will . And Peter Snakebite seems to have a final , and MVG , mental block . Whereas MVG is comfy playing him i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a semifinal on Quest TV, and while the crowd was better than the last BDO event I saw on the box, things don't look healthy. With Ollie Croft's recent death, maybe a healing of the rift could be more achievable. The BDO would get a professional lifeline by linking up with the commercial success of the PDC, while the latter would almost certainly be happy to be connected with the BDO's grassroots and have some continuity from bottom to top. It isn't like Rugby; the rules are still the same in both forms of Darts. The only thing hurt in a reunification would be certain individuals' pride.

Mumby Magic Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 BDO prize winnings I believe has changed from 100k to 23k for the winner.

DavidM Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Despite Sherrock and Suzuki , overall Ashton is the best female player . She’s put in some outstanding performances and averages . Scott Waites ... well indeed , what’s he been waiting for ? He was dismantling Wade at the top of his game ten years ago. Not sure about Andy Hamilton , he went to the bdo and didn’t do anything , and now is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
