KNOB OF THE WEEK
As expected its been a very quiet week, and none quieter than the ticket office for the WDF as they try to flog off tickets to the new and improved unintentional live comedy planned for Bobs Salmonella centre in Surrey. So lets look at the ticket sales, there are nine days of pub quality darts in a run down hotel, broken up in to 6 all day sessions, and 3 days of afternoon and evening sessions making it 12 sessions.
The number of tickets the WDF put on sale was: 16,728....that is 1,394 seats per session.
The number of tickets sold so far up to around last Monday prior to the draw stood at 2,174, making it a pathetic total of just 13% of tickets sold.
Mushrooms always trying to put spin on things tried to proclaim people are interested in this because the stream for the draw had over 300 viewers somehow meant this was "popular". Some sessions will obviously be less empty than others, as the all day Saturday session sold 458 tickets, a whopping 33% of the 1,394 seats available. Less than a third full is their most "packed" session, as for the session on Tuesday evening, they sold 70 tickets out of the 1,394 available, a staggering 5%. They better contact Des Selecta and inquire about the black curtains.
For those new to this blog, the term "Mushroom" is a phrase I made popular over a decade ago as a name for your most retarded and gullible BDO fan or a fan of any amateur shit. You see for "mushrooms" to thrive you feed them shit and keep them in the dark, and the nobody did it better than the bdo to its gullible fans. Here is a thing about your so called fan of amateur darts, the sad cunts who just love to call themselves "real darts fans". This is a term many of them use to imply the PDC is not real darts, they bandy this around as if to give their own sad miserable existence some purpose yet no one watches more PDC darts than the very same people who are full of bitterness and hate for the PDC.
The difference is when I criticize the PDC it is for what I believe are things that need improving, because I want the PDC to keep growing, but mushrooms criticize the PDC because they hate it, blame it for the reason the BDO died, how often have I read some defective mushroom cunt cry how the PDC bubble is gonna burst,as if they are longing for the day..
The reality is the bubble is not bursting, and despite covid, which has decimated the already shit amateur game, the PDC even with all their loss of revenue from ticket sales, still put on countless events, and not once ever did the PDC do a bdo and reduced the prize money, in fact this week PDC chairman Eddie Hearn announced that next year will have a record prize fund. Real darts fans will be glad of this, but those sick twisted bitter mushrooms who pretend to be "real darts fans" annoyed the bubble has not burst, switched tactics, and I even saw some complain how the directors of the PDC including the Hearns were being paid too much, another crying about the money these people made. Do these mentally stunted morons think the PDC directors should be working for free ? Somehow successful business men running a clearly very successful organisation being paid and rewarded rewarded is somehow news to these idiots. The PDC is a business, and has been run successfully by professional people who need to be rewarded for their time and expertise. I think the idiotic mushrooms want the PDC to be run by a load of soon to be dead old cunts in red blazers wandering around aimlessly, "working" for free, or have some orange spastic who braided horse hair for a living running the show until he drives it into the ground.
As for these "real dart fans", isn't it amazing how they watch every single PDC event so they can criticize it ? If the averages are low, complain about the players, if the averages too high complain about toy boards, if the likes of Scott Mitchell and the other over rated ex bdo jobbers fail, make up excuses. They pay for sky sports which in effects supports the PDC. Every event they watch, and criticize out of nothing but bitterness, yet the same people who claim to love the amateur game wont put their hand in their pocket to support the WDF, just like they did not support the BDO. The WDF is whoring itself out trying to sell tickets, and where are all these so called "real darts fans" ? How many tickets have they bought ? I can answer this,....of a planet of over 7 billion, only 2,174 people bought tickets, and some of those bought tickets for all sessions so the actual number of different people is even less.
I don't blame them for not wanting to buy tickets to watch that shit, what person would. The only people buying tickets to this are the players family and offspring not in prison. If you are really a fan of the amateur game, then its time to back up your mouth and put your grubby little hand in your pocket and part with some of your dole money and buy a ticket to watch modus online flops sling it out in a run down hotel for the chance to laughingly call yourself a "world champion". I will be watching this for the comedy value, just like I did every post split Lakeshite. If you do not support them, and wont buy a ticket when they need their fans more than ever, then stop pretending you care about the amateur game when it is obvious you care as little as I do about that shit. I have seen others claim they are waiting for ticket prices to be reduced, but if that happens it will piss of the true fans who paid full price for their tickets. I have no sympathy for the WDF, they are absolute idiots to hold it when they are holding it.
I know some simpleton who failed to grasp the point will say ah but you will be watching the WDF live comedy show,, Yes, yes I will, but I have never claimed to be a fan of their shit and clearly am watching for comedic purposes and I expect on that front it will most certainly deliver.
This week Brian Raman and Thibault Tricole, the top 2 seeds for this January Jobber Jamboree took part in the never ending modus online shit this week. Imagine my surprise when them jobbers were getting owned by Matt Campbell a player who will have a tourcard next month. From the few matches I saw, I witnessed nothing from Raman and Tricole to see how they could even win a tourcard, I would be very surprised if either jobber was to even win this substandard WDF piece of shit. They are the male versions of Bo Selecta, because they were able to travel to all the shitholes of Europe gathering "ranking points" their seeding is skewed. Wait until some over UK county player rocks up and sends them packing. Today Raman who is the WDF #1 needed 7against Lauby and threw for the big 3 and missed, it was almost outside the board, his next dart for 3 landed in 17, needless to say he lost the game. In fact he lost 8 games and finished bottom of the table in a group of uber jobbers, and failed to reach the final stages of the week ending modus shit.... and this is the WDF #1 player, and #1 seed for Bobs hotel. The #2 seed Thibault Tricole fared no better, he too failed to make the final group as well.
As for the draw, did not see it, dont care, there are no decent names involved. As for Pinocchio, I dont even know or care if she will be turning up either.
I would not have him in my top 32 let alone top 5, and before some uneducated simpleton conjures up some notion of bias, allow me to explain the reasoned logic behind this. We start by getting this insane notion that a post split Bob Potter Cup is comparable to a pre split or proper PDC world title.That is like saying the Welsh football league is comparable to the English Premier League, and not be aware of the gulf in class, the standard of play, the name value and countless other factors. Post split bdo cups were meaningless, Wayne Warren won one ffs, Christian Kist even won it, and when spineless can rack up 3 falling over the line against a pub player in Nixon it shows how utterly meaningless they are. If we go on just proper world titles for a start, there is Bristow, Taylor, MVG, Priestley, and suppose they are the 4 Mardle thinks are the other 4 in his "top 5", are we expected to believe spineless is better than Bob Anderson ? or Jockey Wilson? or 3 time proper pre split champion John Lowe ?, or players that won not one but 2 proper PDC world titles like Gary Anderson, Adrian Lewis and John Part ? Yes Part who not only won 2 PDC World titles beating Taylor in one, but won a bdo pot in his first year. How about former PDC world champions like Barney, Rob Cross, Peter Wright and current world champ Vermin Price. I have just named 14 players already that won a pre split world title or a proper PDC world title, that dwarfs any post split bob potter tinpot. That is 14 players all with proper world titles, and I have not even got on to players like Wade with proper PDC TV titles in double figures, titles won at a time with Taylor and MVG around, something spineless lacked the balls to try to do as he hid away in the BDO lacking a set of testicles and backbone to try give a go. He hid behind his made up "principles", but those fabricated principles eventually were fucked out the window when he needed money after his wife left him. He came crawling cap in hand begging for the PDC coin and was nothing more than a whipping boy, getting his arse handed to him in the Grand Slam.
Wikipedia has a list of all the players that won a PDC "premier event", its a list of 31 players and it does not count Wades online CLoD, and rightly so, but does count the CLoD that Colin Osborne won for some reason, so if we exclude Osborne, the remaining THIRTY players all won a PDC big TV title of some variation. Right of the bat everyone one of them has achieved more and done more than Spineless, as proper titles won in proper fields count, then add in the pre split world champions of Bristow, Wilson, Bob Anderson, Lowe, Dellar, Rees....that is now 36 players I rate higher than the spineless cunt.
All it took for Spineless Adams to win a Bob Potter cup, was the game to implode and the top 16 players in the world walk out of the BDO, and every living former World champion to leave the BDO for him to finally just qualify after he spent a decade failing to get there. It then took over another decade for him jobbing every year to wait for players far superior to him like Barney who made him his own personal bitch, and a slew of others to depart to leave him playing in a field that was so weak and so depleted that absolute nobodies were brought in to swell the numbers so that he only had to beat a pub jobber who looked like Blanche from coronation street, and even then he was lucky to win after being 6 sets up as his wife spent the day in the bog, shitting herself wondering what sort of muppet she was married to before leaving him. Twenty five years was all it took, a quarter of a century.
In the end you have to take a look at the complete imbecile Mardle who makes such retarded claims that has been laughed at across social media. Is it really odd that a guy that has zero world titles, zero matchplay titles, zero grand prix titles, no uk open, the guy has won nothing ever of note if you dont count Knob of the Week titles would think a player with only scabby Bob Potter Cups should be ranked so high ? Lets be honest here, it is only because of those Bob Potter Cups he rates him, then he thinks Bellyboy another player that has won nothing ever is a top player too. I have always been consistent, in that you can be a prolific scorer and average high like Chizzy, Bellyboy, Ian Shite, but unless you win a proper title in a proper field that contains the best in the world, then you won nothing. The mental illness that he has about Lakeshite is disturbing, and ranking a player up alongside Bristow, Taylor etc because they won a Bob Potter Cup is beyond ridiculous. What next ? Christian Kist and Wayne Warren in his all time top ten cos they won a Bob Potter cup ?
So Mardle is clearly stating that 2010 Lakeshite is not a world championships, does not count what Chizzy did in 2010 and rightly so, yet he now considers the same 2010 event from Bobs salmonella centre a World championship because the bearded prick won it....tell me how he is not just retarded but biased as well?
JIM WILLIAMS : That brings me on to that poncey Welsh prick Jim Williams. I know most people in darts are thick as pig shit and he probably thought people would buy anything that comes out of his trap,like when he claimed in 2019 when he rocked up to Q-school that if he won a card he would probably turn it down. To me at the time, this screamed of an insecure prick playing down his chances and hedging his bets for when he would fail, and fail he did. Why would you enter Q-school,take time off work, pay money to enter, stay in a hotel for 4 days to play for no money but only a tour card and then claim you might not take it ? Why turn up then ? What was the purpose of taking time off and shelling out dosh for something you did not want....he is a liar.
Fair play to him last year for rocking up on the challenge tour and doing enough to win a tour card, except the whiney little prick has to complain yet again now he earned his tour card. He gave this interview HERE The reality is deep down he is smart enough to know he wont make it in the PDC, he is another Mark McGeeney, an over rated cunt because he made a Bob Potter Cup final, mushrooms have hyped this pit pony but he is more like that other spineless cunt and begging bastard Martin Adams who rather be a big fish in a shitty little stagnant pond, than be swallowed up in the PDC. He claimed it was "difficult" to accept the tour card. He cites work commitments, but if he can turn up for a week of modus online shit at 9 am for a week which he has done more than once, or turn up weekends for challenge tours, then surely he can turn up mid week or weekends for PDC floor comps where the money is far far superior.
If he played in a euro tour for example, he would be assured of a thousand quid, to cover his travel expenses, so claiming travel is an issue is another blatant lie seeing as only recently he traveled to multiple places in Europe for WDF events where he was not assured of anything. This excuse of work commitments might have had carried some weight if he had not played numerous WDF, and other shit like modus and work somehow was not an issue then but suddenly now it is when he has to face better opposition. what a coincidence !
The Real World Championships starts on the 15th, but sadly for a couple of players their hopes were shattered this week when they were ruled out. Firsat out was Charles Losper, I dont know why, could not be arsed finding out because he is shit and i did not care if I ever saw him on TV ever again, sadly however his replacement was even worse, we got a Belgian asshole who folded to a munter on TV....no not dimitri, he had already qualified, I was referring to the twinks friend and countryman Mike De Jobber.
Next out was Juan Rodriguez, who surprised a few in Iberia by qualifying, he seemingly is ruled out after failing a covid test, and his replacement is Aussie Gordon Mathers making his third appearance, making it half a dozen players from the worlds largest penal colony....or at least that is the news but I have not seen it made official anywhere.
