The Taylor vs Barney thread...

[Pavilionaire]

Only an hour or so away and I can't wait.

My prediction: Taylor 7-4 Barney.

By his own admission Barney was tired after beating Wade last night, and I reckon the cumulative work involved in overcoming Baxter, Klaasen and Wade might make Taylor a bridge too far.

I reckon 7-5 to Taylor

Could go either way. Barney was amazing v Klaasen, who wasn't playing badly himself.

And as for Barney being tired out after Wade - I was lucky enough to be there for the Klaasen quarter-final (on the night of his nine-darter) and he looked completely whacked afterwards, kind of blissful but like he'd just finished a mountain stage on the Tour de France. And he recovered OK from that.

So I reckon it's too close to call.

Taylor 7-2, not that I'm interested. The proper Darts is on BBC2 at the moment.

Just put £1 on Barney to get a 9 darter ( 10/1) & £1 on Taylor to get a 9 darter (8/1)

Why is it the players who aren't good enough for the PDC go back to be a success in the BDO if that is the proper darts? Seriously, answer me that?

Easy so far for Taylor.

Because the BDO is a feeder league for the PDC, anone can play in the BDO, via local leagues etc, but the PDC is by invatation only.

Every BDO player would like to play in the PDC as the standard is a lot higher.

Saying the BDO is "proper darts" is just a silly comment. BDO was there first we know, but they did not promote thr game, the players, or the circuit properly or maximise it potental so the the better players broke away and formed the PDC and showed the BDO how to do it properly.
