Imagine being a darts fan, having already bought tickets, booked hotels, arranged travel, some of those people traveling from outside of England only to be told by this Twat Porter the Sunday evening session might be cancelled because of a fucking football match.
The Matchplay and the World Cup dates were always known, was it because Twat Porter was one of the few Englishmen who knew the English football side were vastly over rated, and he was surprised England got as far as they did ?.
Thank fuck Argentina beat them, firstly because I care more about Darts than International football. Secondly the whining , crying and bitching by a minority of English pricks, and the bulk of the British media is why the rest of the World wanted England to lose. I do feel sorry for the genuine English fans but this notion of its coming home is fucking nauseating, , I am in my 50s and an old cunt, and in all my time on this planet, England have never won a world Cup or even a European Championships and act like they are world leaders in football, and as for the English Premier League, its top players are mostly non English.Some assholes are crying for Argentina to be thrown out, why? so the English can be left back in ? If you think they are despised globally now, could you imagine how much more people would hate them crying over a banner.
So now the Matchplay can progress as normal, which is what I wanted more. Since the World Championships ended back in the first week of January over 6 months ago, all we got in that time in terms of a televised ranking Major, was a weekend of 3 days for the UK Open, yet later in the year we can get up to 3 premier events in a month. The calendar seriously needs reorganising. Months of the meaningless non ranking glorified Premier League is a waste,the format and repetitive nature so bad, that games between the elite players have lost some of their appeal after constantly meeting in the glorified roadshow.
After been in the pub for around 18 of the last 20 nights, with the fantastic weather, world Cup,, and other sporting events like the GAA, Wimbledon, the Matchplay will be the perfect reason to stay in and detox. The first round draw was not the best, however with so many games looking predictable, it should lead to some class match ups in the second round. Looking at the rankings, Wade who lost 50k final money still moved up the rankings as MvG has dropped 2 places to World #6. Bellyboy who failed to qualify is down to #35, and should Magpie or Zonneveld win a game at the Matchplay, they will overtake him. Last weeks Knob of the Week winner Gurney is down to #29
Last weekend Luke Humphries gave the Euro Tour a skip, and not sure what excuse he gave, as I have seen players bitch and moan about travel. Last Sunday night as Ratajski was winning the Euro Tour, Humphries was in Cork, doing an exbo only about 2 miles from me. I obviously would not go to a non ranking exbo, Humphries was joined by Fatpot Lewis, Pinnochio, Shitlock, Thornton and Hendo, what stood out for me was the event was sold out immediately, over 5,000 people attending a poxy non ranking exbo. I guess it only proves the point of why there is a demand for a Euro Tour in Ireland. I presume Humphries skipped Germany in the Euro Tour to come to Cork for a better pay day, like Littler who went to the USA.Therein lies the main problem with the PDC, you have so many players skipping Players Champs, Euro Tours citing travel is too much but are assured of bigger money doing exbos.
I saw an article discussing Luke Littler and the 5 other main English players who will make an impact at the Matchplay, and they had Bunting, , Gilding among them, but somehow left out Wade, who has reached more finals than all the others combined, and has even won the event before, and was a finalist last year. I am sick to the fucking teeth of the sucking up to that grotesque visually repulsive obese cunt being rimmed by the media. A dozen years without a single ranking PDC final, let alone winning a ranking major.
Then there is speed jobber Vinny, who this week was right in calling out the fat cunt Manley who is head of the PDPA who rape the players, taking a percentage of all their income whilst never seeming to give an actual shit about the players. Vinny is right, Manley and the PDPA should have spoken out, but as we all know they won't do a fucking thing except fleece the very players they are supposed to represent.
Elsewhere the WDF Masters is on, and would sooner eat my own shit than watch that. I did go on darts connect to see the atrocious averages, and the PDC affiliated CDC which was also on tonight was a higher standard. Regardless, they are all roughly Modus Match fixing Series standard and who is going to be interested in that crap on the eve of the Matchplay. I presume the WDF crap had its usual production problems to go along with the shit players and averages, but to hold it in Las Vegas was utter insanity, then insane decisions is a trait of the WDF and its affiliated former org, the BDO.
