It is no secret I am a fan of the PDC, what they do for the game, their professional organisation , their abundance of comps all offering huge prize funds, from the Greatest Show on Earth, a term I was using long before the PDC was formed from the old WDC, which I believe even the PDC use themselves these days, to the Development tour, Challenge tour, and even the munter Series which they are losing money on, but thanks to professional people running the org, they still run a profitable business, because that is what it is....a business.
The game would be fucking dead without the PDC, imagine the late 90s onwards without the WDC/PDC. However that is not to say absolutely everything they do is perfect.
for me there are still 4 main issues that irritate the fuck out of me.
1. THE DRA.
I understand the need for rules and having an organisation or panel to keep things in line, but the DRA Nazi Party have taken it to a whole new level. Anyone with even a modicum of proper expression or enthusiasm is fined for trivial matters it seems...well almost everyone. Seems they have no problem publishing their lists now and then, announcing who has been fined and for what, yet somethings they don't publish lists, as if certain players, in the PDC clique, and make no mistake one exists, happens to have fucked up and got himself a fine. There is a clear lack of transparency at times. They are so pathetic they are almost strangling any player from being a character.
Instead we get people like Pocket money Pete, a guy in his mid 50s dressed up like a clown, and we are told he is "a character". He is not, he looks fucking ridiculous.
2. COMMENTARY
I don't think there has ever been a period in the game here the overall commentary, and panelists has been at an all time low.
John Part and Mark Webster being the exception on Sky, then, with whats left they make anyone seem decent. Even ex con Chris Mason who I have always liked on comms,when he drops his hardman act, gets a pass. I will even go as far as giving Alan Warriner a pass, although any man that takes his wifes name is a suck up feminized cunt, but the rest makes me want to hit mute as soon as I hear them. Their voices are like the screams of angels being raped.
You have Mardle, a guy with a trophy cabinet as barren as Bellyboy's, thinking he knows more that actual Major winners and ex world champions He thinks his self deprecation antics are hilarious, which they are not.
Then there is Nicholson who spends his time ranting about Hockey, Sausages, Wrestling, Bats etc. A bone fide weakling and delusional cunt who actually thought he was the bad boy of darts. I have facecloths tougher than him.
Then we have Dan Dawson who gets fatter by the week who looks like a Syrian refugee after getting a clothing parcel. He is so far up Pinocchios hole he can see the back of her teeth. Again he spouted how Pinocchio was "the best female player in the world", except she is not. Why let facts get in the way of the PC agenda.
Stuart Pyke needs to go play in traffic, if I never heard the cunt again it would be too soon.
Shaky Dave was dogshit and a woeful replacement for Jeff Stelling, and just because the poor cunt is sick and looks like he is holding an invisible pneumatic drill, it did not mean he was exempt from criticism. For any prick who thinks I am picking on someone with an illness, I was calling him shit years before he was diagnosed.
Chris Murphy should fuck off back to that never ending modus online shit, he is like a skinnier Phil Barrs, a brainwashed drone devoid of a single independent thought of his own. A kool-aid drinking prime example of a modern day generic fuckwit.
As for Rod Harrington you could record any post match analysis of his and it would be the same as every other one of his with just different players name. He had no problem doing comms when he got a free trip to Australia out of it. I use to like him, but another that reads of the same page as all the other indoctrinated fuckers.
All of a sudden Rawling is starting to seen less annoying in comparison, and just because I would choose him over others don't mean he is any good either.
Then there is Rod Studd who never shuts up about pinocchio and "smashing glass ceilings" fucking tosspot cunt.
Then we have Thunder Thighs Turner, the poster child for all that is wrong, whose commentary ability is on a par with her darting ability....she has none.This is a player, and I use the term loosely that is dog shit even by munter standards, yet she is shoehorned in to the Ally Pally comms booth and even the Premier League solely because of her gender. Whatever happened to hiring people for jobs on things like experience, ability etc.? She was at the World Championships giving her "expert opinion". Take a look at a pic of her playing in a munters world championship.
What is most irritating is ITV are far superior to Sky in the commentary
all around, and Jacquie Oatley far better than the blonde bint Emma
whatever her name is on Sky, the one that looks like she dries her hair
in a George Foreman grill.
ITV get all the shittier events, glorified
exbos despite being the better panel, and for the top event, the World
championships we get Mardle and Thunder Thighs Turner....on what planet
is that right ?
3. THE MUNTER SERIES.
Very simple
question, if the PDC is Unisex, why is there a Munter series ? If there
is a womens game, then the other must be a mens game right ?
A couple
of weeks ago some Aussie bloke claiming he is now a "woman" qualified
for the WDF Munters World Chamionships. People afraid of todays cancel
culture just accepted it and left HIM in. With the prize money far
superior in the PDC what is stopping any male player from simply
claiming he identifies as female. Its not like you have to do a test or
pass an exam, all you have to do these days is announce it on social
media you identify as female and if anyone dares to criticize, the woke
brigade would be all over it like flies on shit. There are countless
male players out there with no tour card vastly superior to the munters.
What would happen if a decent male player in the UK decided to
identify as female, could the PDC stop him entering munter series events
?
Suppose he...ooops, I mean she... entered and won the Munter
Series, and pocketed all that money, as well as won invites to the Slam
and World championships. How long before the PC brigade complain ? Would
they complain ? Would that scruffy looking cunt Dawson be hyping how He...I mean she "is the best female player in the world".
I
know most of the munters look like there were born male anyway, but a
proper UK based male player identifying as female would really open up a
can of worms.
If the PDC is Unisex as it claims then that issue
could never arise because it would be one code for all genders and
identities. I would love to see it happen just to see how far it could
go and all the trouble it would cause.
4. THE PDC HALL OF FAME
John
Gwynne is in the Hall of Fame, aand lets be honest, being dead does not
alter the fact he was a shit darts commentator. Add in the fact he was
being paid to do his job and was shit at it, yet two time World champion in Jocky Wilson is
not in it. How in the blue fuck can that be right ?
Back in January of 2021 I wrote his, which is still as relevant:
"There
are many people currently spouting the nonsense that Barry is the man
that saved darts, and this is where I draw the line. Barry did NOT save
darts, this is a myth perpetuated by clueless fucking morons, who think
Darts was only invented when he got on board. Its no secret under Olly
Croft darts was dying, and it was not Barry that saved it, it was those
14 top players and Tommy Cox and Dick Allix who saved darts not Barry
Hearn. Those 16 people put not only their careers on the line but put
their financial futures and that of their families on the line as Olly
the cunt tried to destroy those peoples lives, both legally and
illegally.
Those 16 battled the odds, and in the early years of the
WDC which became the PDC those players often had to wait up to SIX
MONTHS for a cheque to clear, things were that tight, but the PDC was
growing, those were the people that saved the game. When things were on
the up for the PDC, it was then Barry Hearn got involved, when it suited
him.
Barry Hearn has publicly stated, that he could "smell the
money", that is why he got involved not because of his love the game, he
got involved cos he saw a business opportunity, and as a shrewd
businessman had made the PDC even more successful. I am not knocking him
for that, again as a darts fan I am thankful he got involved as darts
is better under him for the most part, and his business acumen has
certainly helped the PDC no end, but lets get this romantic notion out
of your heads, it was business first. If there was no money to be made,
there would be no Barry Hearn, and I get that too, but this complete
bullshit that "he saved Darts" which I have seen numerous times is
bullshit"
Uncle Barry had no problem putting himself in the Hall
of Fame, and he deserves to be in it, but does the likes of Shaky Dave
Clark deserve to be in it more than Bob Anderson, a former world
champion who put his livelihood on the line and was part of the
breakaway group ? Of course not.
The PDC will bend over
backwards, and are willing to lose money on munter events in an effort
to appear all politically correct, but they wont even acknowledge many
of the original rebels with a Hall of Fame spot that would not only not
cost them a fucking penny, but its the least the cunts could do, and
show some fucking respect to them, as without those lads, there would be
no fucking PDC to even have a Hall of Fame
I say 14 players, because fuck the back stabbing
Judas cunts of Mike Gregory and Chris Johns who went running back to
that cunt Olly, , but of the 14 players that were the backbone of the
now PDC, NINE of them are still not in the Hall of Fame. To me that is
disrespectful to those that put it all on the line.
The 9. Jockey
Wilson, Bob Anderson, Cliff Lazerenko, Kevin Spiolek, Jamie Harvey,
Peter Evison, Alan Warriner, Keith Deller & Richie Gardner
THE WDF.
I
spoke recently how these clowns are as much of a joke as the bdo, take a
look at this, they say a picture is worth a thousand words.
Just like the BDO, infighting in the amateur game, rival organisations that seem to serve zero purpose, people like the dinosaur Tommy Thompson, comedy things like darts belts etc, is it any wonder no one would even watch this shit for free.
The event on the Saturday was won by Kai Fan Leung, another ex PDC failure.
THE GLORIFIED INVITATIONAL WORLD SERIES EXBOS
Imagine my surprise when Pinocchio, the human pick-axe got one of the easiest draws possible yet again, Last week she got what looked like the worst player I have seen in these events, and he only lost cos he shat himself, earlier today she lost from 5-2 up to a guy that looked like a dyke who averaged in the 70s. She did not once draw Heta or Shitock in the 3 events, what a shock, where as the world #1 and #5 drew each other again.No surprise another cunt that is constantly getting their hole rimmed by comms, the fat cunt Bellyboy gets not only a simple first round draw, but a second round handy draw. Who makes this draw ?, on what system is it based, and how come its never done live, even on social media.
In the end it does not matter, I guess as the human pick-axe is simply not good enough, and comms hyping her is not fooling anyone. People see it for what it is now.
THE MODUS ONLINE NEVER ENDING SHIT.
This week the WDF "world champion" (snigger) took part in this shit and in one game against some Danish jobber who was 7/1 Duff lost and averaged in the 70s, looked very suspect to me,then it would not be the first time a game was fixed in this, so either Duff threw the game, or he is shit,either scenario is not good. In the end after 3 days the so called "world champion" could not even finish in the top 2 of the group, which was won by another PDC failure in Andy Jenkins.
When wonky eye is topping the table dominating Duff it shows the low level of standard.
As for Duff, his failures over 3 days where he could not even finish in the top 3 meant he had to join another group of losers for a second bite on Thursday and Friday night and lo and behold in his 8 games lost 4 of them.
