Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I think his new position on the board of the BDO as pretty much the most powerful member puts to bed any chance of him ever doing the Grand Slam unfortunately. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he makes it a closed shop as regards BDO players going to the Gland Slam at all in future.

Loki Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 The PDC offered 2 million to buy the BDo a couple of years ago, didn't they? Even to me, that doesn't seem like nearly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyV.2 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 No its not. The reason Hearn wants it is because of the links to the pub leagues etc that it has. He's tried to call it out of date, which to a point it is, but mainly as he wanted a knock down buy. Hearn's business model falls down on new players, 'the scouting system' so to speak. He's looking for a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 12, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yeah, I could see darts dying out at the grass roots if BDO sold to Hearn. It'd be a terrible idea. You think Hearn gives two shits about county darts and superleagues? It'd be terrible for the game at the low levels. In all fairness that's what the BDO, and their fantastically loyal blazer clad volunteers, do very well. Darts for all from pub league to county. It's the professional aspect that needs sorting out.

britishwrestlinglegends Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I watched hours of darts over Christmas & really enjoyed it. I cant watch more than 5 minutes of this BBC shite, without turning over. Last time i had a look, there was a fat bloke in pink, walking a stuffed dog? Dont know what was worse, His average or his gimmick. The BBC should drop this crap, You cant compare the two . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. The only way Hearn would be interested is if he could then take over the pubs and turn them into flats* Â Â Â Â *Orient fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 To be fair to Hankey, the crowd were giving him such a roasting. He usually scores a lot better than that, but the crowd can get to him at times. Anyway I backed him at the Bookies to win this year, I reckon the final is nailed on for him at least. Â I actually thought that was a case of Hankey not having to do anymore than he was doing. Waites really didn't bring his game to the stage at all. Hankey didn't look rattled that much. He put up with much worse at the GSoD. Â Last time i had a look, there was a fat bloke in pink, walking a stuffed dog? Â Did you see the Ross Montgomery walk on? Jesus christ. What a dickhead.

Magnum Milano Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Did you see the Ross Montgomery walk on? Jesus christ. What a dickhead. I think 'The Boss' had gotten a bit carried away in actually making it out of the first round for a change. The Bellend should've concentrated on his Darts a bit more, rather than practising his entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members garynysmon Posted January 12, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 Did anyone see Tony O'Shea's 170 checkout just now? Fair play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Basically right after the 161 from Adams as well. O'Shea played very well. Adams was hardly bad himself but too shifty on the doubles. Â Good to see Adams not getting that third in a row though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britishwrestlinglegends Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqCa9sX4Sio This. Thanks for the link . To walk out like that, the only way you will not lose face is to sink in an 120 average! What a twat, Still say the Pink Dog Man was worse?

undercover elephant Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Wolfie has been his typical steady self, but I am hoping that the Silverback does a number on him tonight and puts an end to all this 'matching Eric' garbage. Â Same here. I thought I was alone in my hatred of Adams, but glad i'm not the only one. Â Loyalty can be a good trait, but it's tiresome in his case. He's in his 50's already, why not enter the Grand Slam. What harm would it do? It's an easy two and a half grand if nothing else. Â Because he's a fucking bottler, simple as that. Adams knows that he'd look a fool against the likes of Ady Lewis, Gary Anderson, Simon Whitlock, Phil Taylor and James Wade. He also knows he'd be found out against stronger competitve players and embarrass himself, so why make the decision to compete in the GSOD. I've got far more respect for Tony O Shea and Ted Hankey. At least Ted came back the following year after all the abuse he took the first time around. Â All I remember Martin Adams for is when he was pissed live on TV this week as a board member of the BDO, not his piss poor World Titles he's aparantly won.
