DAY 1
Never have I witnessed such a shit competition in my life for a days play, a truly dismal showing.
In between the constant breaks for the news which seemed to show ariel views of snow over and over and over we were subjected to some absolute poor quality darts overall.
If this is what is deemed as the 3rd biggest Major on this side of the divide things are even worse than they were years ago. I should have known this was gonna be pathetic when images of the begging bucket was shown right at the start, dont get me started on the number of shit scores of 9, 21, 26 etc.
Ross Montgomery did well enough, but usually does well in this before bombing at lakeshite, then again he was playing the man with no gimmick the droopy looking idiot Walton.
Van der Horst would not get a game for my local team and they are shit, what a jobber, by the scoreline you would think De Hoog was something special, but he is not.
Hendricks looks like another complete jobber, spineless must have been rubbing his hands in glee drawing him at lakeshite.
James Wilson did enough to see of Hofstra, with both of them lucky to be anywhere near the 80 average if they even reached that high, the doubling was shocking from both.
Richie George showed why he was given his wildcard.........he fitted in perfectly with the other useless cunts, totally out of his depth and deservedly whipped.
Spineless another player that was shocking, one leg he scored 45 twice and still won the leg, scores of 45, 26 etc followed in other legs before he too was deservedly beaten. Would have loved to see him break down and cry again.
Chritian Kist followed up his shit GSoD performance with another shit one, and Remco in between posing like as asshole everytime he won a leg was a worthy winner.
Fitton versus kong, the so called match of the night was another shit game, they even admitted it themselves. Fitton hit 2 x 180s in a leg and still lost , thats how bad his doubles were.
This comp was shocking, even the producers had to cut fitz before he could give the shit averages, that or fear the fat sack of shit went on a racist tirade.
So tonight we had 3 lakeshite champions, Kist, Walton, and Spineless all losing, and performing absolute shit in the process, only shows how really really poor the standard is in that side of the game nowdays with the exception of a mere handful of players.
Surely tomorrow will be better, as I dont think its possible that it can be any worse than tonights.
DAY 2 - AfternoonSession
I was wrong when I said today would have to be an improvement, it was just as shit.
First up came the droopy and simple looking Walton who became the first but not the last player who has won lakeshite in the past to be sent home , proving again how shit lakeshite is. Douglas only has to plod along to shake off Walton 5-3.
Van der Horst was the worst player I had seen yesterday, he was truly awful, but I still picked him to beat scotty mitchell who is without a single doubt the greatest jobber in the history of the sport, no one comes close to him. not even Steve Maish. Jamie Caven, Steve West etc.
Expected solid display from Norris who was facing another jobber in Hendricks, game could not finish quick enough.
Hofstra who was complete shit last night upped his game to plain shit and saw off Van de Pas who was even worse than last night.
Jan Dekker continued to prove he is not the player bdo morons hype him to be, was as shit today as he was in the GsoD, still at least he was playing another useless mug in Richie George who if being fair threw well enough.
A better performance today by Spineless who looked like the closet homosexual DBG with the black bags under his eyes. Bunting doing enough to rid the competition of the bitter cheating cunt. who becomes the second lakeshite champion to lose 2 games on the trot and be sent home.....bye bye spineless.
Good win for Harms who I had picked in a comp to win this group, Kist yet another former lakeshite champ turfed out after a shit performance, proving what a joke lakeshite is to win.
Fitton or is that Finton continued his poor showing from last night and lost 5-0 to O Shea the eternal bridesmaid.
I will say it again, this comp surely cannot get any worse.
DAY 2 Evening Session
First up was Steve Douglas and The Wart Montgomery. A good performance from Ross, nothing special but enough to beat the useless Douglas. Ross always seems to do well in this before crashing out first round at lakeshite.
Scotty Mitcheel won on tv...........he actually won a game, serious he won, ok it was only a stream, and he only won one of the 2 legs that actually made airing but it counts as a win, he actually won a game, we can tell our grandkids we witnessed this. I am still in shock.
Performance of this pisspoor joke of a comp was Alan Norris who looked in control the minute he got on stage, even with certain members of the audience shouting at him calling him a fat bastard.
A solid 5-0 win and an average of around 112 he looked impressive, lets hope he dont do what he normally does and follow a great show with a shit performance next time out.
Benito van de Pas who looks a strange bloke, has that Jeffrey Dahmer look to him, the sort of guy that has people prisoner under the stairs did enough to see of Wilson, was disturbing to see an old short bald yorkshire man dancing to techno on his entrance.
Another dismal showing from Dekker the jobber who has one good game at lakeshite and morons think he is something special, still he should do well at lakeshite......hahahahahaha
Bunting only had to go through the motions to dispose of another jobber De Vos.
Remco kept up his shit and posing throughout in his win over Harms in another shit encounter
A half decent performance by O Shea near the end after a brutal start that saw him beat Kong, I was wishing the final double in to put me out of my misery.
This has been the worst competition I have ever witnessed in overall standard, absolutely dire with the exception of a minor few players.
The presentation was nothing short of a disgrace, shows where the BDO / WDf are when their so called 3rd biggest major is stuck on some godforsaken manky regional dutch tv station that takes a break for news every half hour and even showed crime dramas in between the darts.
What a complete utter shambles.
DAY 3 -QUARTERFINALS
Norris who for me the best player of the first 2 days desevedly sees off Hofstra. Norris hit some crucial checkouts at the right times that made all the difference.
Ross Montgomery the second player ofonly 3 players that performed in any way this weekend had enough to see of de Graaf in a very ordinary match, however ordinary was something special in comparison to the utter shit standard of the previous 2 days.
The upset of the weekend had to be Mitchell actually winning a game, but to win 2 games had me in shock, The greatest jobber in the history of the sport somehow managed for the first time in years hit a 81 average and saw off the eternal bridesmaid of the BDO Tony O Shea how bad are things when mitchell makes a semi, it beggars belief.
Bunting who along with Norris and Ross in being the best players of the comp had far too much for the irritating remco who needs a kick in the hole when he starts his prancing and posing.
So the 3 best players of the weekend and the miracle jobber make up the finals, this afternoon was nothing special and to be honest nothing could salvage any pride to this comp such has been the joke its been.
SEMI FINALS
Norris who looked brilliant at times in this comp reverted back to the inconsistent player he is always, after a decent first set went to sleep and scraped through against Montgomery who was equally as bad, a dour miserable game, with both players averaging 84, and surprised it was even that high.
Normality restored in the second semi with Bunting brushing aside the supreme ultimate jobber Mitchell, Bunting averaging a solid 97 a good 10 points more that the invisible dog walking pink wearing idiot.
FINAL
Norris in true bdo/wdf fashion jobs in the final, a brutal showing who never once looked like he was in the match, bunting like this whole comp went through the motions to win it.
Norris who threw a 112 average showed his typical erratic form yet again after his showing in the semis.
In the end the best player won it, but the whole comp was the worst I ever witnessed in terms of standard, and when you combine that with the appalling tv presentation, the pathetic prize money, the ignorant fans, the stupid invitational selection process and the awarding of ranking points in which is claimed to be the 3rd biggest major, you realize just how bad things really are on that side of the divide.
