The Darts...

...PDC in the last stages, BDO kicking off. Any fans here?

Gary Anderson in the form of his career v Barney right now. Throwing 180s and 140s in every leg.

I so want Hankey to beat Scotty 2 Hotty(what a twat), after Wade handed to him in the Grand Slam.

Edit: 2 legs in and its not looking likely.

Hankey is the biggest dart cunt of the lot, horrible man, spits the dummy like no other, fuck him

Thats part of the charm =). Hes the blueprint for Nicholson, only Hankey's backed it up with tournaments.

Edit: Teds last double top

Ted Hankey looks like a walking heart attack. But still, great character. Thought he was going to lose the temper once or twice, he would have in other years. Sadly we missed that treat.

Waites and Webster in the PDC look very undertattoed for darts players.

The tournament lost a little ray of light with Pecker Woods. I always like the way he bounces around the place like a little bird.

i used to love watching the bdo darts, its good entertainment but the skill level is just so much higher in the pdc

looking forward to the final tonight

It's a bit like football.

Yes, there is a lot to be said for the glitz and glamour of the PDC, the skill levels/scoring seem to be a higher no matter what Adams and co. say. But you can get thrilling games on a muddy pitch between lower league teams, and boring snoozefests between Inter and AC Milans. There is something ore 'earthy' about the BDO, and that is likeable too.

If Anderson controls his nerves, he should win on the formbook. But he is inclined to get a little wayward within sight of the finishing line and get the felling that the whole thing may rattle him more than Lewis.

I'm a purist, BDO for me.

i just cant stand any more bobby george

PLEASE GOD

Eeee's a dimand geezah.

Read somewhere that his house is shaped like a dart. I want to see the blueprints.

nm, i thought this thread was about jarts.

Wolfie Adams, BDO top-ranked player, is from my hometown and still plays for the pub where Gary C used to work (according to Wikipedia). He's also an absolute gentleman who'll let you go to the bar in front of him even if he was there first. And that's all I know about darts.

Also i've just put the darts on telly, and there he is. Go wolfie!

I had always thought of him as a bit boorish and likes to pick at the whole pdc wound and have a go at them.

Now I will look at him in a new light. You can tell much from someone's pub etiquette, the way they treat staff and punters, and what you say says something good about him.

Well, like I say I know nothing about darts or his professional career... but as a casual drinker he has earned my respect.

i have no idea how darts are played.

this is the game in a nutshell:

lolz. it makes more sense now.

Been some excellent darts the last couple of days. Martin Phillips 164 out in the penultimate leg made me leap out of my seat.

Yeah, Philips Robson and Adams Walton in a previous round were great games.
