[Other Sport] The Proper Darts

[Geestar]

One thing that the BDO has on the PDC is less bellends per square inch in the audience. Cluck me, the PDC was BRILLIANT 10-15 years ago but it's become a complete parody of itself, does anyone even actually watch the darts?

I won't be watching in February at Newcastle premier league

What a load of rubbish that walk on by Montgomery. He kept shaking hands with people and they are his weapons so anybody could have shook his hands and squeezed them causing him problems. Sportsmen whose hands are their weapons usually keep them away from fans.

Taylor was using his weapons to squeeze things in his caravan, allegedly, and it never did his game any harm :

Great match as expected but Montgomery did himself no favours by keeping Scott waiting (no pun intended) with his stupid entrance. It annoyed Scotty a bit and fired him up. But missing all those match darts did my blood pressure no good. Job done though and he's knocked out a contender and the fifth seed. Into the second round.

Someone just won a match with a 75 average

That Harris guy was so smug. I really wanted the Turkish fella to get through - you could see how much it meant to him with his frustration showing very visibly.

Just turned on whilst home for lunch. This made me smile. He ended up having 27 darts in the leg. And is winning.

But BDO fans are knowledgeable, respectful and gentle beings, they wouldn't hurt a fly. Not like those PDC neanderthals.

I think Jamie 'Yozza' Hughes will go a long way. The Wolves fan pings 140's regularly when he's on a roll.

Or not.

That is excellent.

Don't really follow BDO but remembered liking Menzies in the Grand Slam of Darts so backed him. He lost in 1st round yesterday. Ho hum

McGeeney v Noppert this afternoon should be an absolute belter.

 

[Sheebo]

So, went to Lakeside for first time this weekend - absolutely brilliant! Like being stuck in the 80s with everything from music to decor but ****ing funny! Crowd much, much more darts educated than the PDC circus (and I’m a PDC man btw!)

Noppert out as well now. Another big-ish name that I've heard of.

Was looking on wiki earlier and Anastasia Dobaihoflfelejfeklghf in the women's one got a higher 1st round average than quite a few of the men.

 

[crodonilson]

The high quality games keep on coming Duzza v The Dazzler tonight and another big name must go!

 

[grawhite]

It’s like watching pub darts, never seen professionals who need so many darts in a leg.

Dreadful standard, simply dreadful. Averages of 78 to low 90s.

How they have the cheek to televise these amateurs after the PDC is beyond comprehension.

None of them would make the top 16 of the PDC, not even Durrant imho!

 

[Solid at the back]

It really is dog shit. How anyone can bring themselves to watch it is beyond me.

 

[Durlston]

I've lumped on Scott Waites @ 22/1 each way.

For a former champion to be that price and a perennial favourite with the crowd, he must have a tough draw? If Scotty doesn't win it I hope Wolfie does it again. Now recovered from his illness.

I do love Lakeside. The crowd are usually respectful towards the players.

Getting excited. Into the quarter-finals. Scotty too hotty for Dean Reynolds late last night.

To be fair, apart from the first set that one wasn't too bad at all.

Durrant is class, along with Scott Waites on his day. But the BDO World champion would be an also-ran in the PDC - ranked around #12. What's happened to James Wade? He's terrible now.

Poor guy lost his mum a fortnight ago. Just turning up was an achievement. Hope he's dealing with his grief. After I heard that I wanted him to win the tournament for his late mum.
