I know mate. You’ve forgotten I know you😀

Loads of good Jambos in that place mate. Still see a few of them now and then in ma work (now work at Waverley station). You’ll need to give me a clue. Did we used to build joints in a phone box off Leith Walk during our lunch? 🤣

Now that I’ve received the message, I quite believe you were voted most handsome man in SLAC. Think I voted for you myself to be fair 🤪

I applied for a job at SL when I left school but was told I was too handsome and that they tended to look for Elephant Man lookalikes to reduce the number of office romances….😜

You could be right here mate, although that dart to take Snakebite to 2-2 in the forth set was massive. 

[Sooperstar]

Wright wins 3-1

 

[neilnunb]

Well recovered from Wright.

 

Thankfully no need to see plug again. 😁

Paddy’s Bar is a very very handsome man to be fair.

Of course men have an advantage - height, reach and power must all play a part, hence why men are beating the women 9 times out of 10 (and that's being kind). Stamina will also be a factor for the longer tournament.

 

There will always be the odd shock but even Beau Greaves, by far the best female player, doesn't think a woman will ever win the Worlds.

 

 

 

There’s no woman playing a man at this years championships .

He dug deep for that but he’s so fragile an early exit looks certain unfortunately. 
 

I sincerely hope I’m wrong. Great guy and a tremendous player and ambassador for darts and Scotland over the years 👍

Haha exactly right 

Darts isn’t exactly full of hunks ! Can’t even think of one relatively handsome player . Apart from years ago , Bobby George . Mind you im not really up to speed on the modern players .

I really don’t want to get involved in your agenda but Fallon Sherrock played earlier.

Open the thread to read about darts, then end up reading about office boys fluffing each other.

Fallon Sherrock has secured her return to the PDC World Darts Championship via the PDC Women's Series but has failed to qualify for the Grand Slam of Darts.

The PDC Women's Series concluded with Events 23 & 24 on Sunday, with the two tournaments also determining the qualification spots for the World Darts Championship and Grand Slam of Darts later this year.

Noa-Lynn van Leuven was already assured of a World Championship spot after beating Beau Greaves in Event 21 on Saturday, ensuring she would be the first trans player to feature at Alexandra Palace, with Sherrock securing the second spot via the PDC Women's Series Order of Merit.

They're all at the bar getting drinks in thinking they're winning the £60k for the 9 darter.

[neilnunb]

9 darter didn't help Kist - he's out.

 

Still, £60k in the bank for him.

So we are anti plastichorsehead now!!! Unbelievable!!! I actuslly tried to find another monkey mask pic as you know hipster beards n sh^yt but alas in my rush to post i could only find stormtrooper, ali g or this one. 

[neilnunb]

Well Michael Smith going out has cheered me up at least 😁

[neilnunb]

Littler needs to pull his socks up a wee bit here. 

[neilnunb]

Oh, so close to a 9 darter from Littler

[Sooperstar]

That was an unbelievable last set from Littler. 11, 10 and 11 dart legs to see it out.

[neilnunb]

Not sure what went on there but he was all emotional at the end. Lots of pressure/expectation on him obviously.

141 average in that set 

[neilnunb]

Heta close to a 9 darter 

 

Goes through against Scutt

 

 

[neilnunb]

Ross Smith in danger of going out, which should make the next round easier for Anderson...assuming he wins his match later.

Edited December 22, 2024 by neilnunb

[neilnunb]

Anderson having a shocker 🤦‍♂️

[heyjude1]

He sure is, will be lucky to stay in the competition now 

[neilnunb]

And he's out.  

 

First ever first round exit in the PDC World Champs.

 

Time to retire. 😬

Great match between Chisnall and Evans.

 

Evans wins on a last leg decider

Easily one of the best matches the Ally Pally has ever seen. Had absolutely everything…even that miscount from Chizzy 😮 Evans was phenomenal though. Really really enjoyed that 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[Seaside Dave]

Superb from both chizzy and Evans. How cringy are some of the signs held up by so called dart fans fs 🤣🤣

[neilnunb]

Always like watching Evans play, even though he never wins tournaments. Just fires those darts, no messing. Not sure he even knows what he's doing half the time. 🤣

[neilnunb]

Rob Cross out.

 

Can't stand Williams tbh.
