I'll tell you one thing the BDO has over the PDC - Martin Fitzmaurice, the brilliant old bastard. Much better than Sky's rent-an-MC. I love the way 99% of matches are announced as "England...vs England..."I'm always heartened by the fact that all BDO players still use music from 1995 or before for their walk-on. A little bit of darts died the day someone told the PDC crowd the Now! series continued after 30.

David Croft has just annoyed Tony Green again by mentioning that the PDC offers much more prize money.

The way I look at it, yes the PDC has the tecnically better players, by some margin, but that doesn't mean the BDO isn't worth watching.I liken it to watching Barcelona vs Real Madrid compared to watching a League 2 match. You're not going to see so many stepovers, but if it's a compelling game of two even sides, it can be just as entertaining.

The fact they keep replaying Paul Lim's 9 darter from 1990 does it for me.

I'll watch the BDO but I find it incredibly depressing at times, and the way the BDO supporters clamour for piss poor reasons why the PDC isn't infinately better than their organisation.If Martin Adams wins, he'll be going around saying he matched Eric Bristow's record of 3 back to back titles, which is laughable seeing as the world's best were playing in it back then.Be prepared for 20 dart legs and plenty of visits with scores such as 26.

Had a few quid on Webster and he's my favourite player, but you gotta love old Richie.

Mr Coat is the worst nickname in Darts.

Mark Walsh has always struck me as a solid player, he might make a right go of it in the PDC Champs next month.

Anyone notice how Vincent Van Der Voort can throw three darts in the time it takes Justin Pipe to throw one?

The odds on Taylor to win the world champs will be pathetic now.

Better value for the BDO tournament at the Lakeside then, I fancy Martin Phillips as an outside bet.

There goes my prediction of a classic final between Taylor and Anderson....

And yet, strangely, you posted no news?

 

This smacks of people wanting to be the first to create a topic when a PPV is announced or something. Pointless.

 

And this smacks of people wanting to threadshit on Richie without having a real way of doing so. You could have at least mentioned his AIDS.

 

I agree that a single news thread for things like the German guy retiring, or Kamala's dead foot is a good idea. Hopefully it doesn't get filled up with small UK companies posting kayfabe NEWZ~!

Thing is, Kamala being forced to retire is probably worthy of a full on thread seeing as he appeared on WWF TV for a number of years.

Scott D'amore's ring introduction as part of Team Canada - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLCG4567000

Just tried watching the Missy Hyatt Youshoot. What a load of bollocks, had to swich it off after 15 minutes because the daft cow was getting on my nerves so much.

What's the thinking on these ring roasts then?

I watched the Face Off with Honky, Iron Sheik and New Jack and thought it was pants.

Mind you, I think most of them are tossers anyway so hardly surprising.

It's downloading now. I'll let you know what I think tomorrow!

Anyone seen the Guest Booker with Jerry Jarrett?

I must say, Keyfabe Commentaries is by far my favourite company for this kind of thing. Sean Oliver seems pretty cool and Youshoot is a marvellous concept.

My mate who works on the council traveller site was saying it goes on a lot there, and some of them have lobster claw hands.

Regrettably, there's a bloke in a nearby village who's engaged to and has two kids with his 2nd cousin.

Even more regrettably, they are a distant relation of mine.

I'd got out of a shit long-term relationship and for a long time was all sadface about my lovelife and generally had absolutely no confidence what so ever. After a long dry spell of absolutely nothing going on, I ended up meeting this girl who was smoking hot. More shocking to me was that she was all about me. We went on a great first date where I felt like the smoothest motherfucker around, as I'd gone in for a snog at the end of Marvin Gaye's "Lets get it on" and she was more than happy to indulge my silky moves.

 

Roll on another couple of dates, and having her be all over me, we ended up at her place. A lot of messing around for like an hour before she kindly pointed out that "I want you to fuck me". Unfortunately when it got down to slipping on the jimmy-hat and getting down to business my penis suddenly went "What the fuck is this nasty thing on me". It had been a good 4 years since I'd worn one and the memories of just how horrible they are came flooding back. The result was a sudden deflation of my engorged penile glands.

 

I got the "it's me not you" text message two days later.

 

Low.

That is probably the most depressing one.

Just watched the One Man Gang/Akeem shoot. Nothing special to be honest.

i.e. there isn't the flow like football (proper) or rugby.

That's what really bugs me about a lot of Americans when they call Football boring. Surely the stop-start nature of Gridiron is itself difficult to follow in the first place?

Anyone watching the BDO World Masters on ESPN?

Some excellent darts by Scott Waites.

I've been listening to the Ric Flair highspots interview (yes, all 4 discs) as an MP3 in the car over the past few weeks, and found it very enjoyable overall.

But it really grated me around 3/4 way in, how it was 'Hunter and Shawn' this, and 'Hunter and Shawn' that. I know they're friends and i'm far from being the biggest HBK fan on this board, but it really got on my nerves how he was so far up their arses.

Also thought it was funny when he said he would never, ever sign for TNA.

In Cardiff for work and just picked up Orig Williams book. Never even knew he'd written one. Looks like it could be a fairly interesting read of a brit legend. It was in Tescos so I snuck it through the self service till for a
