It was housed on ITV...but they have pulled out of darts..

Chris mason blames it on...and i quote 'that overpriced fat Brummy twit'

I think he's on about Chilles

I did see they'd lost the GSOD to SKY but it's a shame all darts have gone. Would be really good to at least have this one there.

In only his 2nd match as a PDC player, Chizzy hit a nine darter in his 6-5 Halle Players Championship loss against VDVV.

You forgot to mention the important news of the day though, Mervyn King won it

beating Van Der Voort in final. Much needed win too.

Andy Smith got a good win over Taylor too.

Very good tournament (though the feed quality was awful at times) and a real shame the PDC did not get it on TV. Not sure why Sky could not be persuaded to take it as their schedules were hardly brimming with top sport last weekend but there you go.

I hear that Anastasia has gone back to the BDO.

She has though The Sun did claim she was the first to defect back from the PDC to the BDO which was plainly wrong but once she did not have a tour card there was nothing in the PDC for her and not winning the PDC Women's World Title was the begining of the end for her.

Wasn't Wolfie Adams in the PDC back in the day? I'm sure I remember seeing him crash out of the early rounds of the Worlds when I first started watching darts as a lad.

I don't think he was but I'm sure someone will be able to inform you better than I can.

He was, but only for a couple of years. He played in the World Matchplay in '00 & '01, and got the semi in '01 but got beat by Taylor. Also played in the '01 World Grand Prix but then the rules changed about playing in dual tournaments and he went back to the BDO.

Taylor got a stuffing 8-2 by Lewis last night ... do I detect a Waddell suicide anytime soon?

Apparently Taylor only got beat as he had the flu. Nice to see people giving the world champion some credit.

You should know by now - Taylor never, ever loses because the other person played better.

He's always got his acolytes in the media to roll out some sob story or other to cover for him.

TBF, the very same world champion was leading that chorus. I suspect it did have a bearing at least on how heavily he was beaten.

What is it about us Brits? Taylor brings a different level to darts,then gets pilloried because he is successful.Steve Davis got the same treatment.
Taylor raised the bar,other players are now reaching it,Taylor is getting older,if he packed in tomorrow he would be comfortably off.
Its not his fault if commentators wet their pants over him.
Cut him some slack f.f.s.

Think it's more that he's not reaching it either, not that they are. I still don't think there's anyone playing anywhere near the level he was up until about 4 months ago.

Can you get it through your skull that it doesn't do any sport any good to have the same player winning year in year out?
Yes, Taylor as been the best darts player ever ... by a mile.
He has also been a condescending, self satisfied, little so and so in recent times, who thinks he has a god given right to win, and further to that he's only a little more practice away from reigning supreme again in his own mind, in denial of his advanced years (as you mentioned).
It's his time to eat some dirt ... if he wants to continue ... he will eat some more. That doesn't mean to say that his time is over, it wouldn't surprise me if he finishes the winner in this latest darts tour, for instance.
But his trend will be downwards ... let's move on.
There will never be a darts player like Taylor again ... simply the best and IMHO the last of his type, I hope.

PS
Another Brit thing is to go for underdogs rather than champions. That's why Taylor has fallen foul... he was nearly always the champion. But it was OK with his fans, sheep and those that align themselves with winners.

Ah,so if a sportsman has a talent, he has to sometimes lose on purpose to keep the punters happy?,I get it now.

You are clearly completely missing the point.

Most of the Taylor @rse kissers do.

No need to get personal bud,I am entitled to an opinion the same as you.

You are and I'm not getting personal at all mate. I wasn't aiming it just at you, it's most of Taylor fans, especially sky. Even when Taylor loses it's always about him.

Fair do`s.

If the point is people get fed up of the same person winning all the time,I can see the point,but if a player is good enough,nowt can be done.If I have missed something else,please enlighten me.I am not being sarcastic b.t.w.
