faraway saint Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 23 hours ago, Thorizaar said: Not far from the truth. Players' shirt sponsor is a betting company with 130 followers on Twitter and no website. The current chairman was emailing local builders last week asking them to sponsor the event. There are big issues in the BDO but none more so than that current chairman who has been a disaster. At the last BDO "major", he put fake names in the draws. This coincidentally resulted in his wife being a seed in the ladies comp! Also responsible for the disastrous decision to leave Lakeside this year. It was a dump but at least it had the history and people went to it. It's worth following darts forums and Justin Credible Darts blog to read about the total mess the BDO has become. Came across this quote on my Facebook account from 4 years ago.....................only change is women's darts has improved. Watching women's darts on BBC, the 5 & 1 were getting hammered. 🎯😝 The commentators are trash, poor patter & cant count and the cameraman misses the final dart on a regular basis, amateur to say the least.

Anderson, against all odds, get's to the final. Chisnall, the eternal loser. Price an utter fanny of a man, is a decent darts player. I hope for lots of reasons Anderson PUMPS him.

Gary Anderson was 28/1 a few days ago,, should have had a bit of that, wasn't following it so thought maybe he had a broken wrist or something 🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not quite the Anderson of old but when he hits a wee run of form, feck me, he's hot. It's not all about the scores, it's WHEN you hit them. I'll be cheering him on tomorrow night against that cnut from Wales. I'm not keen on the Welsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Kicks off just after 7:30 tonight. The lack of a crowd might help Price as he's a fanny and the crowd usually let him know it. Anderson 11/10, Price 8/11 Routes to the final Gary Anderson R2: 3-1 Madars Razma (Average: 96.86) R3: 4-3 Mensur Suljovic (Average: 92.49) R4: 4-0 Devon Petersen (Average: 95.55) QF: 5-1 Dirk van Duijvenbode (Average: 101.07) SF: 6-3 Dave Chisnall (Average: 100.03) Gerwyn Price R2: 3-2 Jamie Lewis (Average: 91.97) R3: 4-3 Brendan Dolan (Average: 99.74) R4: 4-1 Mervyn King (Average: 97.71) QF: 5-4 Daryl Gurney (Average: 96.36) SF: 6-4 Stephen Bunting (Average: 100.92) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSS Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I’ll watch it but,like football,it’s not the same without the crowd. Not looked at today’s football betting but if nothing decent on offer I may have a wee shilling on Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I entered the Jersey Open back in the early 90s when it was still a tour event. I beat a guy from Southampton in the first round. I played a guy from Manchester in the second round and if I’d beaten him I was playing Eric Bristow in the following round. Unfortunately I lost 2-1. I saw Eric at the bar later and said to him “Haw Eric, you’re lucky I didnae get through that second round or you would’ve got pumped”. He replied “f**k off. You Welsh are all the same. All talk”. I’ve never been so insulted in all my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 The last 32 starts around 12:30, The Arbroath star is scheduled to be on around 2:30 He plays Ron Meulemkamp, world number 50 from Holland.

faraway saint Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) Local boy's rise in the darts world continues, beats Peter Wright on the way to the semi final yesterday. Still fairly small tournaments but builds his experience against some big names and keep's the cash rolling in when he's not fighting fires.
