Darts World Championship

Dont have Sky at home so havent seen any of the darts yet but going to the parents for Xmas and watching darts at this time of year is always part of the festive season!

I still remember that epic Barney vs The Power final a few years back - one of the greatest sporting come backs I have ever seen!
 
Quite entertaining watching darts... well if you are really bored that is

But the World championships are always festive though
 
Absolutely man - its best to have a few cans in ya aswell :drool:

We've wrecked the main living room door in our apartment with the feckin dart board & then we got a protective backboard :eek:

I got a dartboard for Xmas and set it up today. I've managed to not miss the board yet but have not played when pissed yet.

I am getting one of these things but can;t find one cheaper than £30! Seems a lot for a bit of rubber.

Phil Taylor is a god among dartsmen. It is amazing how he has managed to keep his focus and zeal after all of these titles and years.

Cheers Bud!

Stompe just won! So Taylor -v- Stompe it is should be decent.

I also hope that Wade wins it will be interesting to see him play Paul Nicholson and Barney -v- Klaasen would also be quality if they can both win through.
 
I love the darts.... that said... James Wade looks like a serial killer!
 
I definitely read it some where!

Barney -v- Baxter just now was epic. Baxter nearly had him out as well in sudden death, Sets 3-3, Legs 5-5 and Barney won!

Epic Match!

Yep - amazing stuff - to think I missed half of it due to watching the shittest football match ever, Villa v Hull!
 
I'm looking forward to 3 of the 4 quarters. Especially Barny -v- Klaasen!
 
Few cans.... a take away.... a spliff... and 4 hours of darts :drool:
 
I only saw Barney's 9 darter. Unbelievable. I hope he and The Power meet in the final for another epic. Their last one was fantastic.
 
World Pro Darts starting on BBC today.... nowhere near as good as the PDC...
 
Glad Barney has got his game together. i had a horrible feeling Power was going to walk he whole tournament. cant see wade or king causing an upset tonight. Wades form is not a patch on his form from 6 months ago. should be a barney taylor final. should be a cracker
