KNOB OF THE WEEK.

Back on July 17th, 2015 I posted this on the blog.

The reason I am quoting this now is because the WDF "world championship" is still struggling to sell tickets and mushrooms are making excuses for the atrocious ticket sales, or lack off ticket sales. Then mushrooms will use any excuse to slate the PDC and make allowances for the amateur shit, because they hate the PDC.
As stated above the PDC back then sold 17,000 tickets in 2 hours.
In the last 10 days the WDF sold...64 tickets....SIXTY FOUR and are still only at 15%

The WDF in their obvious ineptitude hoping to attract people to purchase tickets have been tweeting old clips of bdo shit. Why ?
The BDO is dead, even if the reality of it has not dawned on the Selecta's, they were the laughing stock of the game yet here are the WDF simpletons who not only went scurrying back to Bob's Salmonella centre, and initially opted to host their clusterfuck in January, just like the BDO, and now tweeting BDO clips as if its the same company.
Any organisation with an intelligent person at the helm would be distancing themselves from the dead bdo, and not getting the bdo stench all over them. The WDF should be promoting their own brand and not acting like it is BDO mkII.

Why would the WDF leave it until a month before the comp to finally realize their comp needs advertising ? And then associate their product with the bdo ? Then they wonder why they are still on 15%. I will tell you why, because they are fuckings morons who are getting what they deserve. They learned nothing from the failures of the BDO, so fuck them, I have no sympathy what so ever.
Unlike years ago where BDO players with talent or a spinal column would go to the PDC and in latter years to q-school, these days the PDC does not need the WDF. Years back Barry Hearn wanted to buy the BDO and they turned him down, which was a stupid mistake by the BDO in not accepting, cos now they are dead, and the PDC decided to put their efforts in to their own development tours, challenge tours, both British ones and European ones. Their affiliate groups from the CDC in America, the Baltic tour and countless others have expanded their global market, and the PDC work with other groups like the JDC.
Things have gone full circle , so much so, its now the amateur game like the WDF that are depending on the generosity of the PDC to allow their players to attend the WDF "world championships".Years back when the Selecta's went to the small back room in the O2, and hung black curtains up to hide the empty spaces I thought this is as bad as it gets. I was wrong,this WDF shit is even worse.

As for the players. take Robert Thornton for example, he can turn up at the seniors, pocket some cash, then play on the challenge tour, turn up at the Modus muck and make more coin, he has no need for the WDF or at least not dependent on it to make a living.  Even the Modus muck has pots of around 6k for their champions and they have a few a year, which probably is as much money that is available on the yearly WDF circuit.

As for the WDF, I will say what I have said numerous times, just because you are an amateur org, does not mean its ok to make amateur decisions. The people running the WDF are clearly inept.

THE BDO
The Selectas somehow think the BDO is alive and well. The "British" darts organisation that holds no events in Britain posted this on facebook, their first post since last year....yes, a piss up in Cyprus, nothing says British darts more than that I guess.I like how they claim all other orgs were told the dates to avoid clashes. The arrogance of these cunts is staggering. Do they think other orgs give a flying fuck about them, or should schedule around their piss up in the sun ?

 

 

PDC EUROTOUR

It was a mixed bag as usual with the first day of the Euro tour, jobber home qualifiers, players on the way down the rankings, and some new q-school faces.
Rob Cross with 90 left to save the match at 5-1 down against Kciuk went for the 18s and failed to get a shot at the bull. He deserved to lose for that alone when he should have gone 20 first. The other major "upset" of the day was Ryan Searle being dumped out by Richie Edhouse, one of my twitter followers. Ron Meulenkamp with 163 left in his game bust it when he hit a 180, and he went out to Keane Barry.

Match of the day was Gawlas against Vinny the speed jobber, with Gawlas going out with an almost 98 average, whilst former WDF #1 Brian Raman Noodle won with an 80 average in a truly awful game.

I love the euro tour, give me one of these events over a premier League every time.

I also updated my LOOKALIKES SECTION

And lastly for this week, I have no idea what is happening in modus, why would I give a shit about that when the PDC is running an event ? I might tune in some day when the PDC have no events on, but until then I have no interest.
