Talk about stepping up when it mattered. 1 dart from 6-4 down and then was just flawless. Gutted for Bully, thought it was his night at one point.

DavidM Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I always thought Wright was gonna win for some reason . He just has that rock solid demeanour nowadays imbued with confidence , whereas I always feel Bully Boy can get a bit flaky . It wasn’t much but it was enough when it mattered . It wasn’t a vintage final but it was a very good tournament . I’m bemused why people in the crowd feel the need to whistle on out shots , it really is $hit antics , but I don’t feel the crowd have endeared themselves much in this tournament generally 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this years crowd.. id rather watch it at home on TV instead.

Mumby Magic Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Odds are out via oddschecker for next year's world champs. Rydz at 50/1, Wright 5/1, Searle at 40s. Might have an early dabble. 2 Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Decimus Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It's Q school next week. It makes me think of the level of pressure that some players must be under just to retain a card (Matt Edgar being one). I also admire the odd person who turns up with a <50 average just for the fun.

I agree with you, Van Gerwen had the best overall average in the year. He misses too many doubles now but it seems to be psychological as he hits them on the big finishes when he hasn't time to think. Hempel showed against VandenBergh he can hit doubles when on form.

Maximus Decimus Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 First day of Q-school today which I didn't realise, I thought it started tomorrow! Sherrock must wonder when her luck is going to start. She lost her first match (which isn't really too big a problem on day one) but with a 90 average. There were people going through with averages in the 50s in that round. In the Euro version a guy even won a match with a 33 average! I would fancy my chances against that even accounting for the nerves that it would bring. There are a couple I am following from Youtube, one being the Darts Referee Jack Langston who lost his first match with a 55 average but won a leg which was all he was really after. He actually has ended the day with a 100% checkout record! Another was a guy who is doing a 10,000 hours experiment called Ronnie Rickner. He is currently 1,000 hours in and had a disappointing day losing with a 70 average. Wednesday is when the serious stuff starts. A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

Maximus Decimus Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Half way through stage 2 and it's not looking good for Fallon Sherrock or Matthew Edgar. Both haven't managed a point yet, meaning they need two huge days possibly even winning one. A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?

Maximus Decimus Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 UK Open has been going on this weekend and I've half followed it until today. The semi-finals have thrown up 4 players who have never won a major (Smith, Barry, O'Connor and Noppert). I'm rooting for Smith to finally shake the monkey off his back and win a TV title. Who knows though! It's on ITV4 is anybody doesn't know and wants to watch. A Widnesian in Ireland blog What is the best system for Super League?
