It should be more like the premier league were the fans go crazy sing during the games it doesnt put the players off then so why does it during other events.

No darts tournament should be the like the crowd at the premier league.

I know yea it's weird isn't it. It's still a good atmosphere but just different! Hard to keep quiet when they're throwing though after a few beers!

WHY NOT?

The nonsensical roarings from the crowd, jeering of players as they go to take their throw/ during their throw. Fights breaking out in the crowds. Hundreds there to get pissed up act the bollox as much as possible and have no interest in the darts.

Darts tournaments can only go 2 ways, dead quiet, where the slightest noise is a disturbance to the players

or rowdy, where very little can get to the players because its just a sea of noise behind you

End of the day, i'd prefer the sea of noise

The best darts to watch are the ones where the crowds are going wild singing the players names .Theres ony 1 phil taylor,barney army ,mardle whipping up the crowd, manley been booed and he loves that. if we go to the extrems of playing in front of crowds affraid to open there mouths for fear of been thrown out people will soon stop going to watch darts.

Could yas hear people whistling as Barney was about to throw during the final? They were sat near us, I was well annoyed!

I don't know what Barney was at last night but for once I was glad he was beaten because his attitude was terrible. I know he has been suffering from a bit of depression and he has lost all of his confidence but it's still no excuse to throw your darts away when only 2 legs behind. He got the game back when he started throwing again so he could easily have won it. He needs to have a serious think and sort his head out because you are not going to win by doing things like that. The speach was very strange as well.


As for darts crowds, I agree that the Premier League crowds are far too noisy and aren't interested in the darts. The Vegas crowd are a little too queit though. The best crowd is at the World Matchply, loads of atmosphere but great respect when the players are throwing. My favourite tournament and really looking forward to it.

you have to have the noise at a darts match thats why its got so popular lately cos its a night out, i love playing and watching darts but i wouldnt be a fan of having to sit in silence for 3 hours if that were the case i dont think the grand prix in city west would be selling out every year if it werent the night out and a laugh that it is. im done lol,

The question is, was Barney locked??

Going from focused to disinterested, walking off stage to coming back and kissing Taylors ass?? WTF, Barney showed he can hang with Taylor, would he just cheer the hell up and start playing.

Get your ass back on the pro tour Barney, and cop on

I think that's a good point, the man hasn't been on the tour at all lately. He needs to start playing all the time again to get him out of this slump. I think it's entirely based on his frame of mind, he seems very depressed. If he managed to win one of the pro tour events he would feel better about himself. He could easily have beaten Phil last night.

i don;t think he was drunk, just a little crazy!

He did manage to beat Wade though, something he hasn't been able to do in a while and constantly average over 100!!

He said himself he needs to win more, the pro tour is the place to do it, look what it has done for Osbourne and Walsh

Spot on mate once again, he wanna get up off his lazy arse as he is good enough when in the mood to beat anyone, even Taylor!

Evolution Enter

His manager needs to sit him down and go back over the tape of that final

He came from 3-0 down to 5-3 and 7-5 up and had a higher average than Taylor (109 to 108) after 12 legs!

And this buddy buddy routine with Taylor has to cool off, he's gotta start resenting Taylor a little and begrudging wins rather than paying tribute!!

barney is over ten years younger than Taylor and could still cement a far better legacy for himself than he seems happy with

everyone likes a bit of atmosphere, but what do you want to see, great darts or a rowdy crowd?

That's a good point and one I didn't think of. This Taylor arse kissing can;t be good for Barney's mentality. He seems to accept his defeat because Taylor is the best ever. Instead he needs to find a ruthless streak, start thinking that he is the best and not accept these defeats so gracefully. I don't understand all the players praising Taylor, we all know he is a good player but just concentrate on your own game and beating the lad!

Devastator

Really don't know why people think Barney's respect for a fellow professional is the reason for his loss.

He was interviewed at beginning of tournament, when asked about his form he basically said he didn't have a clue. He said he's been arsing about with his darts/stems/flights more than ever, saying some days he's throwin well and the next he cant throw anything!


WTF? :eek: no consistency with whats in his hand will mean no consistency with what lands in the board!

He needs to go back to his old style and just keep chucking them until they work.

I cant understand why Barney and other players change there darts,flights etc.. It must be something to do with sponsorship that they change their gear.

blame Taylor! :eek:


Things weren't going top game for Taylor, he changed and ultimately has seemed impossible to beat since then...so other's like Barney got a little doubt in their brain saying "What if I changed" and it has ended up working against them
