Darts

Ste bunting knocked out by Darryl Fitton. Wow. Fitton has a good chance now. Fancy O'Shea though.
 
Saw a bit last night. Still reckon Dekkers could be dangerous and maybe Harms. Not seen Waites yet so no idea what form he is in.
 
Scott Waites. The most irritating face in darts.

Saw a bit of his match last night. He does look like the annoying, stupid character out of a bad family sitcom.
 


When a losing sportsman doesn't realise that he is being interviewed live on TV...
 
Damn it's really hard for me to watch and appreciate the BDO world championships after watching the PDC WC. The standard is just so different. Then again the best of BDO will leave for PDC every year. Wonder why Scotty Waites still hasn't made the switch

Because he actually has a chance of winning a world title in the BDO
 
This final is indeed a bit rough. I want to back O'Shea but it's just so depressing.
 
Well done Scotty Waites. Great performance in the final, never gave O'Shea a look in. O'Shea was not at his best but will surely be back. Will Scotty 2 Hotty get the balls to try the PDC now?

Doesn't he still work? Carpenter I think. He could be a top 16 player in the PDC.
 
Too easy for Scotty, O'Shea didn't turn up and even if he did not sure if he could have stopped Waites there. A bit like our own O'Shea at sunderland now :)
 
There was a lot of fuss on Twitter about how O'Shea was shown drinking lager during the interval, and how he played like he'd downed a lot more before the final started.
 
Blimey, this world cup darts is more addictive than it should be. I'm not even an avid follower of the sport (though I recognise the top players obviously).

Australia thrashed by Belgium?? WTF? I thought that pony tailed Aussie was supposed to be a top, top player.

They beat Australia? When was that? :confused:

Both Nicholson and The Wizard are top players, but The Huybrechts have come on a lot this past couple if years
 
The final was an odd match. Lewis was generally awful, and has been throughout the tournament, then misses the double 12 for a nine darter.

Was impressed with the Huybrechts.

Lewis is not the same player as two years ago. I want him to find his form again though. Him and Van Gerwen could have some more mighty tussles.

True. Think Mardle or someone reckon he had been raking it in on the corporate gig scene and wasn't practising etc...Think he and MVG play tomorrow don't they.

EDIT: Nope, just checked.

2013 McCoy's Premier League Darts
Week One
February 7 – Odyssey Arena, Belfast
Andy Hamilton v Robert Thornton
James Wade v Wes Newton
Raymond van Barneveld v Gary Anderson
Simon Whitlock v Adrian Lewis
Phil Taylor v Michael van Gerwen
 
Cracking start to the premier league darts, not sure how the relegation system works but I think Anderson would be the favourite to go first, he looks out of sorts, but to be fair he had a tragic 2012 which probably still affects him

Yep I think he might struggle also.

I like the new format, and also like the fact all matches play to a finish rather than a break half way through.

I wish the crowd wouldn't boo players when they are throwing at doubles though.

The boisterousness of the crowd was a selling point at first. Now it seems each crowd is trying to out retard the last.

True. I think it's up in Scotland next week, so anyone playing Anderson or Thornton is going to get some grief, then next the English boys will do the opposite.
 
Just finally watched Thursday's games on catch up. Great start to the league. Wade, Lewis and Anderson all seem to be struggling with their form.
