Has anyone been watching this week? There's been some cracking matches. Simon Whitlock v Andy Jenkins was great last night. Terry jenkins v Robert thornton on at the moment
James wade just hit a 9 darter
Barry Hearns circus boys getting done over by the BDO...Anderson 10 Wade 8
Webster 10 Part 2
Fitton through v Anderson in semi's
Marvelous scenes !!!
PDC pisses all over BDO, by a country mile.
Yeah right...BDO world champ 10 PDC world champ 2
Doesn't mean anything, John Part has been shit all season long. The money is in PDC, thats why you'll see Anderson, Whitlock and Webster into the PDC very soon.
Whitlock left the PDC to join the BDO so cant see that happening. Anderson and best mate Gary Robson share the same management team and will stay in the BDO. Webster may move over and that's to the PDC's advantage.
They would struggle without the BDO as Hearn must realise. Thornton,King Van Gerwin etc all recent defections and all major PDC players.
Im not anti PDC but they certainly dont dominate the BDO like Hearns 'pub darts league' comments would have us believe and we all know about Hearns big gob as Albion fans !!
I read somewhere if Anderson is offered a decent contract with PDC, then he would consider it. Because Mervin King had a contract on the table for ages, when he was at the BDO and it was effecting his performance. Plus his best mate Andy Hamilton was persuading him aswell. Robert Thornton is also a good mate of Anderson, and that could work in PDC favour.
King just went and dared Olly Croft to sue (general consensus is that King is an 'orrible c*nt). Conspiracy theorists rekon Klassen threw his first round defence (as the semi and finalists at the Lakeside are 'contractually ' obliged to return next year).
I wish there were more of the GSOD type of events as it seem the players for the most part 'get on' esp the power who practices with fitton, and did some commentary for the BBC a few years ago.
Anderson said in his post-match that he gets ignored by some players and i think him and Robson are such close mates he wont go.
Wankers like Mason wind me up when he cant admit the BDO lads have done a good job.He said the Anderson/Wade was a 'pick 'em' game when Wade was best price 4/9!!!
4 from each in the quarters great for the sport imo.
Mason has a huge problem with the BDO, something which has to this day really he hasn't got over. John Part also did some commentary for BDO, but whe he won the World Championship last year, he stopped doing it.
I think they all thought it would just fold when the stars left but like a bad smell it just hung around !! Waddells 'bellys and bullseyes' book a great read on the subject.
I'd love to see Hearns face if he had to hand over a cheque to a BDO man haha.
The 'Pub league' fights back!! Bristow said the same after just about accepting an invite by Barney to see his BDO final with Klassen.Three months later he was creaming himself about Raymond being in the PDC. THEN he as good as rejoins the BDO to play in the league of legends with Evison and Bob Anderson.
Who needs principals when there is DOSH on the line !
Could you lend it to me, I can't find that book anywhere? The book I'm most looking forward to reading is Eric Bristow Autobiography, now that will be class.
He won on wednesday night against Andy hamilton, I think he's got Whitlock in the QFWhat happened to the best player in the world Phil Taylor did he get beat?
