The 2 main contenders this week for the award were Robert McDougal and Sky Tv, but gave it to Sky as McDougal is a fucking spastic every week so its not like this was a one off for him. As for Sky, the people that hired Wayne Mardle as an expert, yes a player that won nothing of note being an expert, The hired Thunder Thighs Turner who is abysmal, hired the token black in Devon Peterson who is even worse than Turner and his rambling about the scumbag football club with fans not content on murdering people in Europe but their own as well in Sheffield was pissing plenty off , and of course they still have Dave Clark as well. I use to think David Croft was ok till he was ejaculating live on air during the Fallon Sherrock match and showed clear bias like the rest of the cunts. I was sick shit of hearing how a 90 average was "world class" and about "glass ceilings", and their failure to highlight the disgraceful crowds, by the very same people who spent all year moaning about booing who suddenly started pretending it was not happening, so much so that in replay highlights shown over and over by Sky the booing was dubbed and/or altered. As I said last week, imagine the uproar if it was the woman being booed. The way the went on about Billie Jean King, an 80 year old yankee dyke trying to remain relevant sending a tweet was nauseating as if anyone with a life gave a flying fuck.. A Billie Jean King tweet is as important as a Tony Eccles christmas card.
The presentation for the most part was a fucking disgrace. Other players who qualified for this competition on merit...true merit not the backdoor way Sherrock got in via an all munters qualifier, were treated as supporting acts, and their games where they deserved as much respect were over shadowed. Some games even had the comms discuss Sherrock while another match was taking place, what about the respect for those players ?
I am glad she is gone out, not because I have anything against the girl herself but because of the repetitive hype and complete bullshit that ensued and the gullible sheep swallowed. I was not alone in wanting her to go out because of Sky and there raping of the situation, but it was evident on many forms of social media, and not just dart forums. Sadly now she is gone the bullshit from Sky TV won't end, we still got Phantom of the Opera still in for Mardle to wank himself blind to, and even if he goes next round there will never be a shortage for those cunts to spout nonsense about. I have watched most of this on the dutch RTL channel, no idea what they are saying, but its better than listening to those cunts on sky, with the exception of Part, Webster, and the odd occasion Rod Harrington who is starting to sound like some cunt with alzheimers.
On the subject of commentators, Chris Mason who I often said is decent enough on comms except when he is trying to rim the BDO , was upsetting people this week again. This time however I am totally on his side. He posted this
Mason gave the BDO 3 years and they repay him by offering him LESS. What happened to this BDO "loyalty" they are always on about. Mason is damn right, if they wont pay the going rate, then fuck the BDO why should he work for less, and devalue his own brand for a shower of cunts that would half his pay.
As for that fucking imbecile Gwynne, who else would have him, parasite cunt. Mason as usual kept fanning the flames with this reply later
Not sure the going rate for a Commentator Chris Mason but i didn`t thing that £3.600 and a hotel room costing £1,350 for 9 days was that bad maybe i`m wrong."
This reply was done to make it look like Mason was being greedy, as well as him being a total cunt for disclosing what he made. As for the hotel, of course the fucking hotel should be paid for you asshole. He forgot to mention that was before those greedy cunts in the tax office tear a chunk out of it as well. As said his pay should be going up not down after his "loyalty" to the BDO., and having that prick Mcdougal post the details on social media shows what type of cunt he is.
Mason replied
Robert Macdougall well that's why your not a commentator, hotel costs are irrelavent to me and are a given in this industry, but you think as a commentator I just rock up and talk and do the punditry? You know how much research goes into doing the bdo worlds? Especially the BDO? I will tell you around about two weeks work before I even get there. As for the going rate about £1200 a day. Staggered that you have even commented, still hope that's cleared a few issues up."
Speaking of social media, Des Selecta took to social media recently and posted that...wait for it, ..that he does not post on social media. You could not make it up. The fucking spastic must think social media is a place. Checkout this blatant bullshit
You know what ??? Know matter what everyone says, I never post on social media , I’ll probably get slated for this ( by people that know very little about very little) but these statuses are getting crazy .
I send a monthly letter out to all Counties and that information should be given out to all county members.
The last letter I sent out was last week, that letter confirmed all events for next year, as far as I’m aware all events are still having BDO points into next year except the Dutch ( btw, the Dutch knew the BDO had retracted the £2 players levy and 5% points charges until the start of the 2020/2021 season before they announced they were pulling away from the BDO).
As far as the BDO Board are concerned, we are still very much business as usual, I will be discussing / negotiating more televised events for 2020 immediately after the World Championships has finished.
One thing I will say ( and I will be going into detail with evidence at the next delegates meeting) all this negative posting all over social media is doing us no good at all, most of you just think it’s a discussion but some of you know exactly the damage your doing.
Most of you either have my telephone number/email or know how to get it , why not ask me rather than cause yet more angst on social media .
I just don’t get it !!!!
Des
The retarded cunt thinks negativity on social media is the hurting the bdo. Is he really so fucking clueless to realize the negativity the bdo is getting is down to him and his wife ?
Her acting like a scumbag, him threatening people, his constant bullshit and blatant lies, his ability to even release a single poster without making themselves look like complete idiots, their attitude towards others, which is why the WDF mand the Dutch NDB fucked them off, guess that is all someones elses fault not his. Where are his sponsors he promised. Did some guy on the internet on social media cause him to make up them lies ?
Robbie Green posted this on social media how the players are now being threatened, by a cunt and formal stable boy more Orange than Donald Trump with teeth that make John MccDonald's look almost normal.
Funny how things go, isn't it, years back Mason and Kong were among the first to issue threats to me because of my mocking the BDO, now here are both of them laying into the BDO. I wonder if they are finally waking up and seeing that org for what we all knew it was.
But Chris Mason is simply unable to help himself, as soon as he gets people on his side for the BDO gig, he goes and spoils it all again by acting the hardman again with his threats. What is it that upset him this time ?
This article from the Sun
Mason responded
Wow, a newspaper blows things out of proportion for headlines....never saw that before.
I take it Mason has an issue with the Sun since they mentioned his many criminal activities in the past, and to be fair it is a shit rag, however. Mason is not a 20 year old kid who might mature and cop himself on, this is a 50 year old man who of all people should have learned from his past mistakes, but he just cannot help himself , everything is about slapping people, or threats, or the wannabe hardman. Who knows i might even get a another threat myself for mentioning this.
----------------------------
The Greatest Show on Earth.
Checkout the screensaver on the PDC app for Saturday:
Saturday: Keegan Brown versus Seigo Asaga started the session, and Brown took the first set with solid darts to win 3 legs to nil. The second set saw no improvement fro Asada and Brown took the second set and it started to look like this was going to be over quick. Brown missed darts to lead 2-o in legs in the third set and went off the boil and Asada took the leg and eventually the set without ever doing anything decent, thats how bad Brown was. Asada improved in the 4th set, so by the time the match was 2-2 in sets, Asada had upped his average to 89 for the match. The final set went to 2-2 on legs with throw and Asada broke in the 5th leg to lead for the first time in the match, and started the next leg on throw with a maximum and that was it, Brown was out, and Asada won a game where he did little in.
Simon Shitlock took on Harry Ward next up in the session after after watching the first set where Whitlock won with ease, this had whitewash written all over it. Sure enough, Ward won just a sinlge leg in the rest of the game as Shitlock registered the whitewash. Not a good watch as it seems to predictable and could never see Ward make a game of it.
Steve West against the scruffy looking cheating cunt Searle was up next with the winner to play Ando. I was hoping for West who I think would give Ando a decent game. Well I got it wrong, as the scruffy looking krusty cheat threw some great darts and won the first 2 sets with a 102 average. West played well but Serle was better. Searle won the match 3-0 and finished with a 101.54 average, the highest of the competition so far.
Final game of the session was Fatpot Lewis against Reyes and Fatpot scored ok but was atrocious on doubles and cost him the first set. It was piss poor quality. Reyes took the second set which was also poor stuff, and led 2-0 in sets, and when Reyes started the third leg with a maximum Lewis looked in deep trouble. Lewis woke up in the third set and won it with a 105 plus average, and it seemed we had a game on. The fourth set saw both players drop off, but especially Reyes who went to utter shit and missed countless doubles and this allowed an average Lewis to tie up the match 2 sets all. It was hard to call as both players were utterly shocking at times. So when Lewis took the first leg with ease and missed double 12 for a nine darter no one saw it coming, but in typical Lewis style, after missing the double 12 for the 9 , he still lost the leg and had to depend on Reyes missing doubles to hold throw or he was in serious trouble.Mardle could not have got his tongue any more firmly planted in Fatpot's hole as it was again obvious where his blatant favoritism lay. He complained about the crowd booing, it is amazing how he hears it when its aimed at one of the players he is kissing the hole off but never heard the booing aimed at Darin Young, James Richardson or Ted Evetts when they played Barney Suzuki and Sherrock. Lets see if he mentions the booing later I thought when Sherrock was set to play Mensur.
By the time we reached 3-3 in legs in the final set Fatpot had missed 2 match darts.Lewis held after more misses and then broke in the 8th leg of the set to win a match he really should have lost. Like Vermin and Krusty, Fatpot got away with it, and I dont see Lewis going any further based on that, he wont keep meeting players like Reyes who fucked up.
Sky then told us at the start of the evening session all these people were here to witness Sherrock against Mensur, despite the venue being already sold out weeks before any draw was ever made or before they knew Sherrock would be in this position, but why let things like the truth get in the way of all this hype that is beyond the point of a joke. So the session started with 2 annoying cunts. Things are bad when you are looking for a quick Gurney win. Mardle who once called Pipe despicable for his actions in a match at the 2017 Ally Pally took only one leg to get a snide remark in on Pipe. But I dont feel sorry for Pipe who is a fucking scumbag cunt, who once went on a darts forum and complained to moderators about me calling him slow, boring and painful to watch. The forum at the time were kissing his arse and hoping to sponsor him, and sure enough as soon as Justin Pipe got a couple of grand of the forum, he was gone and suddenly Pipe who screwed them over was allowed to be called slow and boring.
Thankfully we got the quick 3-0 win. I did have a smirk as the asshole Mardle only took one leg to get a dig in on Pipe about the "coughgate" incident.
Up next we had Mardle hype durrants 3 "world titles"...you know those titles that Christian Kist, and Mark Webster won, those meaningless titles that have no bearing on the PDC. I thought Heta would be lucky to win a set, as he only had a lucky run in a non ranking world series event down under against players who were jet lagged and not motivated. Sure enough the Phantom of the opera won the first set with ease and an 89 average. This was the second game of the night that saw a one sided 3-0 win and like the first dull an uninteresting and it was clear from the start a whitewash was on the cards, so then we had the match that was hyped non stop, Mensur against sherrock. Mensur left a country where genocide was being committed and we are suppose to think that mensur now is afraid of a woman in a game of darts, fucking hell. ! Mensur went 2 legs up and missed darts for a 3-0 win but Fallon held and then broke with a 131, and on her throw hit a maximum and helped her win the first set. Sherrock went 2-0 up in legs in the second but Mensur returned the favour and won 3 legs on the trot to win the set. The third set went the same way as Mensur led 2-0 in legs and lost the set despite missing 3 set darts.
On to the fourth set, where Wayne Mardle was comparing her to MVG and calling her World class because of her 90 average....yes 90. The truth is Mensur fucked it away, and I dont care if you are male or female, a 91 average will not keep winning games, not in this comp in the latter stages. Of course the hype got so ridiculous people were calling for her to be in the PL, because of 2 x 90 averages. I get sticking her in an unranked world series event for publicity reasons, but the Premier League ? fucking hell. Give her James Wade spot, after all James Wade said he does not want his and would prefer to be at home with his wife and kid. Thunder thighs Turner so brainwashed actually thinks she can win the comp with her 90 average...it was so retarded it was actually funny.
The crowd fucked off in droves, after the game was over which was no harm, as we got Josh Payne against the dancing prick from that dump Belgium. First set was class darts. Seemingly a 90 average for Sherrock was World Class, but Dimitri's 105 average in the first set was decent darts....go figure.The staggering zero self awareness from the comms was never more obvious when the comms said the 2 players now playing has a lot to follow and how they feel sorry for them. Perhaps if comms shut the fuck up and gave the 2 players playing now some respect and quit mentioning the other game over and over, and started showing some respect themselves. Dimitri kept up the fantastic darts and by the end of the second set led 2-0 averaging almost 110.....20 point higher than Fallons "world class" 90 average....yet where was the hype ? At this point not only was Dimitri the player of the night, but player of the whole comp. In the third set at 2 legs each Payne missed a dart for the set, and that was it as Dimitri wrapped it up 3-0 with an average of 105. Payne was battered live on with an average that was 7 points higher than what Sherrock had and he was not once reffered to or called World Class.
The darts was then turned off as I could not take any more repeats. I get the hype on social media, the PDC are right to hype it, but showing constant repeats to the people who already watched it, and knew the results it was not only irritating, but disrespectful to the players who are playing.
The way the Dimitri Payne game was overshadowed and their darts game that was taking place live was overshadowed to remind us over and over of what we just saw is not fair to players who deserve their moment. Or is this lost on this shower of cunts ?
Sunday : This looked on paper a great day of darts, and by not getting home til 3 oclock it meant yet again it was a case of me skipping all promos, interviews, adverts and of course the Fallon Sherrock hype overdose, up first was Clayton and Bunting, two quick enough players and the first set went to Bunting 3-0 after Clayton had his early chances. Clayton had some nice finishes in the second set but was not enough as the legs went with throw and Bunting won the set to lead 2-0 in sets. At one leg down Clayton took out a badly needed 138 to break throw and keep himself in the match but it was all in vain as Bunting who was averaging 98 broke again and held to lead 3-0 and the first white game of this comp to be best of 7 sets was set to be over in short time. The fourth set did go to a fifth leg and again Bunting win it with ease, and Bunting looked great in that win and having Harrington on comms, instead of the other cunts there for pc reasons, was a bonus.
Darius Labanauskaus against Max Hopp held little interest for me, and as I said before I think Hopp is vastly over rated, and Darius can be boring most of the time, and we had Mark Webster on comms who I like, and the first set was won by Hopp against the throw with nothing special darts. Second set was no better quality wise, and Darius won the set against the throw. The third set was also won against the throw after some poor stuff from Darius rather than anything special from Hopp. This pattern continued as Darius woke up and threw his best darts of the match in the 4th set to level the match. I saw nothing in this game to suggest the winner of this would go any further in the comp. Darius seemed to take advantage and a couple of solid 2 dart out shots saw him take the lead for the first time and lead 3-2 in sets and the German looked in deep shit and especially so when he went 2-0 down in leg and at 2-1 Darius missed 4 match darts, before Hopp took it to a fifth leg, and when Hopp left 41, after hitting a maximum it looked like a level game but hopp missed 2 set darts and Darius stepped up and took out 60 for the match. I was not sorry to see Hopp lose, and wont be sorry when Darius is gone either.
Last up was Aspinall against Ratajski, and while the Pole was not the favorite, I was hoping he would win. The crowd was the quietest one so far this comp in the first set,and there seemed little atmosphere, and the Pole winning would see him make the top 16 in the Order of Merit First set went to the Asp against the throw, and the second set saw the pole 2-0 up legs and Aspinall came back to throw for the set, but the Pole took out 106 for the set and game on. The averages were decent considering all the doubles missed by both. Aspinall took the 3rd set and was now approaching the 100 average, The Pole broke in the first leg of the 4th set,,,the 10th break of throw in the match, and Aspinall broke again, and saw out the set for a 3-1 lead in sets. This looked over unless Ratajski got his act together. Back to back maximums saw Aspinall break yet again in the first leg of a set that would win him the match. but yet another break came and Ratajski held throw on the next 2 legs to take the set, and was now 3-2 in sets. A 123 checkout to break by Ratajski saw him go 2 legs up in the 6th set and Ratajski missed set darts, and Aspinall won the next 2 legs to take it to a fifth leg. and was throwing for the match. The Pole however never gave up and started with a 177. and hit a 140, and took the leg with a double 11 to make it 3-3 in sets in a class game. Ratajski missed the bull for a 164 and returned for 25 and missed to darts for the leg and Aspinall stepped in for the break and held with ease to lead 2-0 in legs, and a poor leg from the Pole saw Aspinall break again and win a great match with a 116 checkout. Aspinall was through to face the winner of Gary Anderson and Ryan Searle. the players finished with averages of 98 and 97 , which was awesome stuff over 31 legs. Not once were the averages called World class, guess that is only used for 90 averages for women.
Evening session started with Wade and Beaton, and was hopeful Wade would actually play like he gave a shit. He started well in the first leg and went to shit and lost the set to Beaton 90 average....(world class ?). Wade came out in the second set and hit checkouts of 125 and 122 to go 2 legs up, and lost the next 3 legs which included 3 set darts at tops. Wade was in serious trouble now at 2 sets down. Wade did win the third set, but only after Beaton missed a set dart, and seemed like it would be game on but Wade again missed crucial darts at tops and tens, something Mardle told us he was brilliant at, and Wade was 3-1 down in sets and Mardle was telling us there was a huge upset on the cards...really ? Wade fucking up on tv these days hardly constitutes a huge upset. Wades record in the Worlds in recent years is deplorable and him losing is hardly a shock.Wade came out in the 5th set, a set he had to win and started throwing some great darts and took the set 3-0 legs, and a 107 set average, Beaton won the first leg and was 2 away from the win, Wade was lucky to hold throw to make it 1-1. Beaton then started with a max and a 140 and took out the leg on a bull finish. Wade was in deep shit and was throwing to save the game.
Wade missed 3 darts at tops to make it 2-2 in legs and that was it, Wade was out and lost a game where he should have won, had he taken his chances, but failed and paid the price despite averaging more than Beaton, it was the first time Beaton has beaten Wade in the Worlds. Wade said earlier in the comp he does not expect to be in the Premier League, and don't care and would rather be at home with his wife and kid, just as well as he certainly was not going to be picked after that. Hopefully this defeat and an omission from the PL might wake the lazy cunt up for 2020 before he becomes the next Barney, an over rated plodding cunt .
Second up was the Belgian Orphan against Marc Almond, and was hoping for a Noppert win, as Tintin Huybrechts irritates the fuck out of me, like most Belgians, the most unmannerly people I ever had to come across when in Belgium years back. Huybrechts had a "world class" 90 average and lost the first set to Noppert's 97 average. The second set was even better quality as Kim raised his game and leveled the match in sets and kim was averaging 103 by this stage. Noppert took the third set as the standard started to drop, and Tintin leveled the match by taking the 4th set. Kimmy tnen made it 3-2 in sets and by this stage the averages were dropping rapidly and Nopperts game went off the boil and dropped to the mythical world class 90. Kim was averaging 95 and was now racking up the legs and in the sixth set he won it with ease and took the match 4-2.
Off went the darts right then, zero interest an a MVG foregone conclusion, seen one seen them all, I was not going to subject myself to another Sherrock hype promo, nor a Belgian orphan interview, nor listen to that cunt Peterson and most certainly not watching a hunchback promo and the ensuing whitewash MVG woulds dish out...fuck that.. off I went to listen to some music while posting on a forum. The only thing what was in doubt was not if MVG would win, but would he beat the highest average set by Dimitri.
Read later on a forum, that the camera got a shot of the hunchbacked cunt dribbling...lol.
Wayne Mardle was apparently complaining about Evans dancing around on the stage, this coming from a cunt who spent most of his dismal career prancing about like a fucking spastic. Read also that Evans missed over half a dozen darts to wins sets....says it all.the 13 maximums in the game took the total for the comp to 508 x 180s
Monday: By the time I got home Fluke Humpries and Nico Kurz were 2-2 in sets, and had little interest in it if honest. The next match was Darren Webster and the mess that is now Adrian Lewis. Lewis played like he has played most of the last 2 years and was soon down 2-0 in sets, and when he upped his game and won a set he did more posturing and prancing about than he did when he was a decent player winning a World title. The midget soon shat himself and it was 2-2 in sets in no time. Fatpot led 2-0 in legs in the fifth set and looked like this was over soon, but Webster held throw and broke with a 140 checkout to level the set and was throwing for a 3-2 lead in sets, which he secured thanks to a shit leg by Fatpot, the crowd came awake and we had a good game on for drama, if it lacked the overall quality. Fatpot took out checkouts of 132 and 124 to lead 2-0 in the 6th set and with a maximum looked like he had the set but Webster popped up with another ton plus checkout, and then hit 8 perfect darts, missing the double 12, he finished off the leg, a leg for Webster to win the match or Fatpot to level the game. Lewis leveled the match and this was now a superb watch with great drama. That sixth set was something else. Final set saw Webster hold throw with last dart to take the first leg and broke throw, to then throw for the match, but Lewis broke and was throwing to level again which he did with ease. He then broke throw to lead 3-2. Lewis on his throw for the match started with 85 in six darts, with Webster hitting a max, but Webster missed a dart at the the big number and cost him a dart to level and Lewis took out 76 for the match. A great watch with some insane moments on a pissing wet Monday. On RTL7 the Dutch channel, the interviewed Fatpot who was like some looney on coke, said it was "probably the best game I have been involved in".
Last up for the session was Dimitri, a player completely ignored during his win in his previous game despite having the highest comp average, because comms were busy rimming the hole of Fallon sherrock, maybe this time in his match the comms might actually concentrate on the game in front of them, He was up against Luke Woodlouse. They were going to have some job following the previous game, It was a decent enough game. I eventually caught a replay of the game Monday morning and watched it and Hunchback was lucky to win the first set, as expected but Ricky played well and could not see him continue to play like that and started fast forwarding through legs as it became clear this was a foregone conclusion
Went out for a meal and a couple of drinks with the wife so missed all of the darts bar the odd glimpse of a score when I went to the bar to call ,so got home and first match I put on was the Chizzy and De Zwaan game, I thought it would take some effort for any game to come come close to the Lewis Webster game but this matched it, another absolute classic , made all the more special I was not aware of the result before hand. Unlike the Webster game where it will be remembered for certain moments and the sixth set, this was quality throughout with every set won with a ton plus average. It was an absolute belter of a game, and unlike the other cunts of Cross, Barney, White and Smith who went out with a whimper, Chizzy a player known for his choking, showed great quality , so much so I dont think it will affect his chances of a PL sot due to the performance. The final averages were class for a game that went 26 legs and De Zwaan finished with a 106 average, yes I know its not that the 90 world class average we were told Sherrock had, but a stunning performance, even Chizzy had a ton plus average, the second player I think to go out with an average over the ton. Then I watched the Anderson Searle game, another decent game, he may be a scuffy looking krusty cunt who has was caught being a cheater, but again he played some good stuff, and I think deserved to win the game but Ando showed his class and experience, but still dont see Ando getting near the semis, he simply aint the player he was, yes I know he almost averaged a ton but he was lucky to win, but seems a shadow of the player he once was just like Fatpot and Wade, but those two do have over a decade in years on Ando,
By the time the Wright Asada game came around around it was getting late, so watched the first set and when Krusty went 1 set up I thought why bother, but stuck with it and saw the jammy Jap sneak a set against the run of play, so when it went 2-1 to the wannabe Scot, I turned it off thinking it was gonna be a procession and would catch the results in the morning, beside I had more important things things to do than watch a a guy older than me dressed up like a fucking spastic prance about like a simpleton.
Friday : This started with 2 cunts only there to make up the numbers in Shitlock and King. Some of the comms "breaking news" statements in this were ridiculous. With the match at 1-1 in sets we were told that Fallon sherrock was in the building. Of fucking course she was, she was due to play, it would be more news worthy if she did not turn up, but telling us a player due to play turned up is retarded.
The comms followed that ground breaking announcement with the line "Merv King's demeanor does not look good". Yeah, cos we never saw that before, he is always laughing and never would sulk or make an excuse. Sky kept up the stupidity with all the Fallon sherrock bullshit and how she broke the glass ceiling about 15 times. I did not realise 2 averages in the 90's constitutes breaking the glass ceiling, but hey, why let things like facts get in the way of the bullshit Sky are forcing down peoples throat.
King led 2 nil in legs in the third set and lost the set, King also led 2 nil in the 5th set and missed a couple of set darts, before Shitlock held, broke and was then throwing for the win 4-1 in sets. Shitlock missed a match dart allowing King to have a pop at 76 and then missed the big number to get a shot at a double and that was it, game over, and no harm as the game was boring for a World champs match.
After that we had Durrant against Gurney, with Durrant taking the first set after Gurney missed a lot of doubles. By the third set, the crowd were dead, no doubt they were all waiting for the Dobey sherrock match that they were brainwashed in to believing was somehow more important than the other games. We knew the drunken scum were saving their energy to act like maggots for the munter match. As for the game, Gurney was a jammy fucker to level the match on 2 sets each after a lot of missed darts. Durrant missed a dart to win the fifth set 3-1, but Gurney took out 87 on the bull to level the set, and was throwing for a 3-2 lead in sets, but Durrant hit a crucial maximum to set up a chance for the break and set and took it to lead 3-2 in sets, and he deserved the lead as he was the better player. In the 6th set, Gurney led 2-1 and was throwing to level the match and again Durrant broke throw so he was now throwing for the game, a game he should have won with more ease. Durrant threw a decent leg, and that was it. Durrant will have upset some mushrooms as well with his comments, when the 3 time lakeshite champ said he wishes he was as good as James Wade. Durrant then said he is looking forward to playing Dobey, dismissing Sherrock. Thunder thighs Turner looked like Laura Woods grandmother on the panel. Fallon won the first set thanks to her doubling and Dobeys shit doubling and in the second set his doubling cost him more legs but still won the set and desevedly so. More missed darts from Dobey cost him the third set, but then started to find some better doubling and leveled the match 2-2 in sets. Dobey was the better scorer, but Fallon took advantage of Dobeys mistakes up to this point. Dobey was the better player who only allowed Fallon get as much as she did, and when dobey went 3-2 up in sets the writing was on the wall, and lets be honest the best player won and should have won easier. Laughed when comms said to turner “You’ve been up there on the stage in big finals Laura” what big finals ? Now she was gone hopefully Sky might give a fuck about the other players who are better. Dobey had something like 30 missed doubles, and still had over a 100 average and showed his class again at the end of the game, just like he showed class against Meulenkamp last week trying to stop the crowd trying to boo Ron on a double.
Evening session kicked off with the loser Sherrock being in the studio. Woman loses and get invited , Black player loses and gets invited on the panel....anyone sensing a pattern here with the "minorities". Thankfully I missed it and was only aware of it after reading it on a forum as I had the darts off and waited for the game to be started before I turned it on. The first game was Hendo against Napoleon Price, who played more like Harvey Price against O Connor earlier in the comp, the first set of this game was quality. The second set was an even better quality stuff.
Hendo lost the set with a 112 average, Price had a set average of 120. Into the third set the averages were still 111 against 108, but Hendo missed tops multiple times in a couple of legs and paid the gull "price". 3-0 and the game looked over and even more missed darts on doubles from Hendo made sure he went out quick. the 4-0 scoreline did not really reflect how well Hendo played in the first 2 sets.
Next up was Ando and the Asp which looked the closest game on paper. First set was another quality set of darts with Ando taking it with an average of 111. Ando should have won the second set, after missing a set dart, returned with 3 at double 10 and hit double 15 and bust, allowing Aspinall take the set and level the game. Ando was second best for most of the game and Asp took it 4-2 in sets with his 5th match dart. After that we has Bunting and Hunchback, so switched to the English stream, just for the audio seeing as I had no intention of watching and chose to do other stuff on the computer.
I suggested earlier on a forum that darts would finish early with 2 x 4-0 bankers and so it proved, which meant we could expect a load of Fallon Sheer-Luck bollox repeats, so was not hanging around for that...fuck that.
Cannot see anything other than a Hunchback Napoleon Final to be honest.
I would however like to see some new faces in the semis. Dimitri plays Fatpot for a shot at Aspinall, with with the winner likely to play MVg, so Dimitri making the semi would be good and maybe De Zwaan make the other semi final....that would certainly throw a spanner in the works for the PL as you would have to invite both, and could not leave one of the semi finalists out, and could mean Chizzy would be turfed out along with Wade and Mensur.
Roll on the BDO live comedy Festival. This is going to be fucking hilarious, the January Jobber Jamboree always is.
Suzuki is going to PDC school. She must not have read the threats from the BDO.
