skinnybob72 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 This boys walk on A suit jacket I assume you are referring to 'The Coat'? Surely the worst nickname in world sport. The standard in some of the games has been absolutely humpty with a huge number of legs taking 21+ darts. The fact that they have to talk about the 'first 9 darts' average says it all for me. The PDC had over 600 maximums throughout their World Champs - it will be interesting to see how many the BDO has - my guess is under 200. The worst part is the commentators talking about a 'great match' when clearly the standard has been rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnybob72 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 tony green does it alll the time! He's been like that ever since Bullseye, the non darts player would miss the board completely going for the prizes at the end and he would say "That's unlucky". Missing the board might be a lot of things but unlucky isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Drago Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 the standard is worse than ever this year.

Not to mention the young guy on the mic has the entertainment skills of a wet sock For a world championship there's no doubt that the standard is pish but I could almost guarantee that every single player in the tournament could beat the best 10 players in any pub in Scotland over 3 sets probably without losing one.

Decent article here on it. http://www.bbc.co.uk.../darts/20903601 IIRC, it was turned down by the BDO board after the Counties took a vote and asked the Board to accept.

Decent article here on it. http://www.bbc.co.uk.../darts/20903601 Yes he did but that's a takeover rather than a merger and Hearn said that he was mad to make the offer and wouldn't again. The BDO cater for many thousands of darts players throughout the world down to local level, can't imagine what would happen to county darts in this country if the PDC took over.

Wolfstar Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Bdo is good for darts. Most pub or county players think they have a chance to play on a big stage against some good players. The pdc is the champions league of darts. The bdo serve a good purpose but just need to change the way they go about things now. Make it a breeding ground for the pdc, encourage young players and get a tv schedule away from pdcs biggest event. It would make sense to have it before the pdc rather than after.
