PREMIER LEAGUE
MONDAY: This returned on Monday, and the first thing I noticed was Durrant at 10/1, which must be a record for the biggest outside in PL history, especially by a reigning champ. Ando beat Cross 7-5 in the opener, did not see it, but the averages were decent enough. Wade and De Sousa followed, and when Jose took out the bull for 85 and maintained his 100% checkout rate he led 4-2 and was looking all over, but Wade broke back and missed darts to level as Jose broke again and held for a point Wade then broke and was throwing for a point but blew it, and lost 7-5 despite averaging 104 and hit 16 x 140s. Jose will be well safe from relegation with the number of 180s he has been hitting. Clayton and De Bergh was a great watch, and Clayton took out 121 to break, but Dimitri followed with a 121 checkout to break right back to lead 4-3, and Dimitri broke again for an assured point, Clayton missed doubles to break and Dimitri held for all 2 points and a 7-3 win. For all the ton plus checkouts there was 23 missed darts at a double. MVG against Durrant was atrocious stuff, and at 4-1 up MVG was only averaging 82, that is how shit Durrant was. MVG changed his darts at least twice in the game and despite MVG missing 24 darts at a double, and averaging a pathetic 87.78,his lowest ever average in the PL over 140 games and it was still enough to dispatch Durrant with absolute ease. That was 6 straight defeats, and not a single average of 89 or higher. Comms told us Glen could take some positives from this ? What fucking positives ? the last time Glen had a positive he went to wetherspoons to infect others. Last up was Krusty and the Asp where Aspinall played really well in a deserved win over Peter Wright, with a 7-3 win.
TUESDAY: Wade and MVG were both dragged down in their games when playing Durrant in the previous nights, and De Sousa started off similarly and was woeful and had none of the scoring he had against Wade. and was soon 3-2 down to Durrant and despite that Jose still won easily enough never really looking in danger, It was a 7th straight defeat for Durrant and still failed to break the 90 barrier.
In the second match Cross led 2-1 but Dimitri woke up and won 5 on the trot to assure himself a point., and at 6-2 missed 2 match darts, but broke Cross again and wrapped it up 7-4. Clayton took on Aspinall and there was 6 breaks of throw in the first 7 legs, and when Clayton held throw in the 8 leg it was 4-4.The rest of the legs went with throw and in the final leg Clayton missed double 16 for a point, but Asp missed to darts for the win and Clayton got a draw he deserved, even if he was lucky. Wade against Wright was a decent watch with Wade missing a dart for a 3-0 lead, before Wright fought back and broke and level the game 3-3, at 4 each wade broke and held for an assured point and led 6-4. Wright missed tops to hold and Wade took out 96 in 2 darts for the win. Wade again around the 105 average for the second night on the trot. Ando against MVG finished off the night in a decent match.with a couple of breaks of throw, and went to a last leg, with Ando throwing for the draw. MVG left double 16 after 12 darts, but never got a shot as Ando held out. All night comms kissed the holes of certain players averaging over 100, yet Wade who they claim never hits ton plus averages had the highest of the night and it was glossed over.
WEDNESDAY:First up was Aspinall and Cross, and Asp took out a 146 to break and lead 3-2, and broke again he held throw and led 6-2 with a point in the bag, but cross held, broke and held, so went to a last leg but Asp made no mistake. After that we had Ando and Dimitri in a game that had 46 missed doubles. At 5-5 Dimitri broke after missed double from Ando, and Ando missed a rake of doubles to break for a point before Dimitri won it 7-5 with an 88 average.Comms told us during the game Ando had more chances, which was a complete lie as at the time Dimitri had 10 more shots at a souble, and then we had Thunder Thighs Turner giving her "expert analysis". She is absolute dogshit, that has no place up there, only there for PC reasons. Hunchback and De Sousa third on, and a decent watch but that wife cheating hunchback prick is one annoying cunt. What is it with fat cunts giving it all the posturing as if they were some hardman ? Wade for the 3rd night on the trot averaged in the 105 region, not bad for someone comms tell us rarely averages 100, and he battered Clayton, and last up was Krusty taking an easy 2 points of Glen Durrant who made it 8 straight defeats, not a single average in the 90s, and tonight averaged 79. Pathetic, and still comms lied and tried to make out his loss of form was due to covid. He and Cross wont be missed. On the PDC website performance of the night went to MVG, even though Wade not only averaged higher, but battered Clayton who was one of the form players of the year we were told.
THURSDAY : The night started with the 2 worst players who had already been eliminated, Cross and Durrant, it was a shit game as expected. At 4-4, Cross broke and held to assure himself a draw at least, and then Cross missed 2 darts for the win, and Durrant held, and Cross held for all 2 worthless points. It was 9 straight defeats for Glen, and not a single average broke the 90 barrier. The covid excuse was rehashed multiple times.
Then we had that fat bald sack of shit MVG against Clayton. This too started poorly but at least Clayton led 2-0, but soon picked up for Clayton and when he held for 4-1, the "upset" was on, and Clayton missed the bull for a 170 and a 5-1 lead.Clayton then took out 284 in 6 darts for a 5-2 lead, and with the aid of a maximum broke for a 6-2 lead. He then missed 2 darts for the win as MVG broke back, but it mattered not as Clayton broke the cunt again. Wonderful result. In the third game Aspinall tore Ando a new arse hole and battered him 7-2. Aspinall who was struggling prior to the PL has put in some great performances. Se Sousa and Wright started brilliantly with 8 maximums in the first 5 legs, and at 3-3 Wright took out 139 to break, but missed 3 darts to hold and Jose broke back. Wright then left 36 for a 10 darter and missed all 3 but was lucky to get another go and break throw. He held for the point, and with Wright throwing for the win, Jose hit 6 perfect darts and broke and earned a point. The game had 14 x 180s, and Jose has hit 50 maximums over the nine nights. Last up was Dimitri against Wade, who would probably be sloshed at this point I wrote on a forum and sure enough it was a woeful start from him and was lucky to be 1-1 with an 83 average. they shared break of throws but at 2-2 it was still poor stuff from Wade,as Dimitri started finding his scoring Wade found a 129 checkout to hold for 3-3. Dimi held and broke and was now averaging 106, Wade was seemed fucked but with 85 to break hit the bull when he wanted the outer ring and Dimitri took out 160 to hold and earn a point and lead 6-3. Wade then held with ease, and Wade hit 6 perfect darts on his way to a break and was throwing for a point and was now the player with the higher average as well. He held with ease to earn said point and it was his 4th night on the trot with a ton plus average.
GLEN DURRANT
One of the most retarded things comms said was after Glen Durrant won the first leg of the night, and the statement was made is Glen on the way back. He won one single fucking leg. The number of times this bullshit was brought up his loss of form was down to covid is a complete joke. Even if we put aside the fact Glen lost form before he ever got Covid, how did this covid actually affect his game ? He could not have been physically sick as he was quite happy to go to Wetherspoon's pub, and was prepared to travel to Germany, and said he felt no symptons, so again how did his game actually suffer because of Covid . It did not, he was out of form before it. It is a confidence issue now and not because he is physically unwell. Durrant set a load of new unwanted records this week too.
As said above he finished with a comp average of a mere 86.19, and he was obliterated, that type of shit is fine in the bdo, in fact players have won Lakeshite with averages similar to that. Scott Waites won actual finals with averages close to that. I was delighted Cross went out also, he was only in because of the stupid rule of automatic qualification for being 4th in the OoM, but by the time the PL actually started, he had lost that spot.
Whilst it is still just a non ranking glorified exbo, I kind of hope Wade goes on to win it, if only to rub the PDC's nose in it for leaving him and only inviting him in when they had no other option.

SENIOR WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Only 2 weeks ago I wrote the following on this very blog about Modus Darts and their proposed Seniors World championships:
You just know this will be a fucking disaster. Look who is organising it for fucks sake, Modus, the same people who brought us the likes of Barrie Bates against Jamie Cave-In in a dark room, and hired an ex con to do commentary. Does anyone with even half a brain expect anything that will resemble something even close to adequate let alone professional production values ? I am looking forward to it, it will be comedy gold
And sure enough, I read reports that Trina Gulliver and Francis Hoenselaar were both invited to this clusterfuck. Last I read on a forum was Trina was close to drinking herself to death, and looking at her last recorded averages, it will indeed make for the comedy gold I spoke about.I am glad the players are getting a pay day, good for them, but when you combine the current standard of most and the production of Modus, this might be something worth recording and keeping.

KNOB OF THE WEEK
DARTS WORLD: This shower had the hypocrisy to post this on their website a write up about online abuse. People issuing threats and abusing is all too common, especially when it comes from ex players like chris Mason, the Selectas, and others, but for this site to have the cheek to do an article shows some lack of awareness.Their own "head sports writer" spent the last week harassing people on line, including members of my extended family.....why ? because he did not like this blog, so like all scumbags who don't like my blog take it upon themselves try looking for personal info on me and my family. The hypocrisy of these people to release an article about online abuse .....staggering.
Since digging up personal information is this cunts tactic, lets return the favor. This "head sports writer" for Darts World was too stupid to realize that when he got upset about my blog a few weeks back, and tried have a pop at me on order to try impress others, he failed to realize I was all too aware of this cunt before he ran his lying mouth. I already knew who he was from his time here in Cork city where his name is dirt. The dumb cunt then found out I was from Cork and was soon reversing quicker than an Italian tank and quick to try make out the people in Cork were the issue, and not him, and how its was the people of Cork did not like him,because he was English,except they hated him for what he was. He was exposed as a thief, and conman,and he left Ireland very quickly, not just because of his giant tax bill either. He was exposed over here not only on ripoffreport.com, but multiple sites over here and on radio, and I personally knew plenty who had dealings with him and they all despise him, even the English lads I mix with who knew him hated him, and know a couple more who pray for him to come back over so they can have a word with him.
Dont believe me ? Look at what happened when he tried to deny the allegations, only for more people to respond.
His denials only served to have others chip in,
and another.
.
Remember those denials, here is another link from the Independent newspaper....look at the 7th name down HERE
No shortage of people exposing him as a rat either HERE
You have to ask about the hiring policy of Darts World, and then for them to run an article about online abuse when their "head sports writer" is this person.They should get their own fucking shop in order first, before pontificating at others
What does this say about Darts world ? either they know exactly the type of people they employ and simply don't care, which says a lot, or they are completely unaware and that makes them stupid as fuck for hiring this conman. Either way it is bad, no matter how you spin it.
I guess next will be the thinly veiled threats, more harassing of family members, after all its the next go to for scum like this, as this is the mindset of these type of people in darts.
This sad bastard's next ploy will be to go in to victim mode and act like everyone on Ireland just hated him for no reason other than being English, the tax problems were not his fault, his assaults will be called self defense, his ripping off clients will be blamed on the clients, his online behavior will be blamed on me, as blaming everyone else for his own actions is his go to. Just wait til his time with Darts Worlds end and he will act like he was the victim in this too. Musicians, Darts players, premises owners, wedding parties, etc all screwed over by this guy. Still I am sure everyone else is to blame.
---------
Lastly Barry Hearn retired this week. Whilst the PDC was growing before he joined, he took the PDC to new heights. His worth to the game will never be equaled for what he did. Ok he had a brain freeze once and offered to buy the BDO, and thankfully the fucking idiots turned him down, and Uncle Barry did make the mistake of inviting begging bdo jobbers to stink up the Grans Slam of Darts, but mere minor things against the countless fantastic things he did not just for the PDC tour card holders, but for helping the game expand globally,
Spare a thought for the mushrooms, those sad little defective cunts, who would spend their entire miserable existence, slating Hearn because it was not "real darts", cos it was not played in a run down hall with 6 people watching, playing for brass darts and pork chops in a meat raffle. Those sad bastards will now have to come up with some new material to blast the PDC they hate...but always watch. It wont be long before Matt Porter will be the focus of their anger..
I almost forgot, the Super Series returns tomorrow, and although a few bigger names have pulled out like Price, Wade, Ando, Clayton etc, there is still some great players attendng so another weekend of darts.
Til next week.
