Darts

Weird nervy, topsy-turvy match and so many missed doubles.
 
Hope Wright can just see this through and not feck it up.
 
Saw Wright shake hands with the officials, Price wasn’t ready but assumed they would get around to it.

Dave Clarke just confirmed no handshake.
 
All 5 sets gone against the throw but I think this one might be the fatal one for Asp, but Asp has had darts to win 4 of them
 
Might be his year like Cross 2 years ago had match darts missed against him.
Hope so, although I take it you don't!

Both semis were a bit lacklustre and no tonne plus averages is a big surprise.
 
Ok so the BDO have released a letter to the players saying that the promised prize money cannot be honoured and begging them to still turn up and play.

My sources are telling me also that Fallon Sherrock has just pulled out of the event.

Jeez.

On Monday, the BDO said prize money would be "reduced somewhat" after only 15% of tickets were sold.

In a letter to players, BDO chairman Des Jacklin said income was down 85% on predictions and commercial advisers Sportotal had failed to secure a sponsor because of perceptions the BDO is "toxic".

It goes on to confirm Fallon has pulled out.
I don't get why the BDO is perceived as toxic though. Given its seemingly constant financial difficulties, I don't get why it doesn't strike some deal with the PDC to be officially recognised, and funded, as the grass roots organisation.
 
Highly tuned athletes like darts players shouldn't need beta blockers
:lol:They don't tend to look like Bill Werbeniuk these days, but wouldn't be surprised if the odd one has taken beta blockers, given the money and pressure these days.

Didn’t need hindsight to know moving from Lakeside was a stupid idea.
 
Who are we backing here?

I hope Wright.
Don't like MVG.

And what the feck is the story with the pom pom dancing girls ?
Are we not past this shite ?
 
Wow just watched it on delay. Brilliant performance from Wright- held it together amazingly, even if MVG was out of sorts (albeit still averaged over 100).
 
When Wright scraped through early doors and against Humphries and Price his ton plus checkouts just knew it was going to be his time.
