I have not been reading this thread, so this whole time I've been thinking the GSOD starts tomorrow. It wasn't until Iwas reading about the qualifer event and it said starts next Saturday! :eek: I thought because qualifer was today the tournament starts tomorrow
Sort of glad because won't miss any due to the boxing and madrid derby tomorrow night, but saddened as I means no darts for another week. Seems an age since we had a tournament on tv0 -

Yeah I know, but I wanna be spoilt with darts
Well done to Maish, he must have played some top darts to win through such a tough field. He will be a handful for anyone he plays against.
yeah! Steve Beaton could be a dark horse also. Been playing well lately, won an event few weeks ago and was beaten finalist 5-6 against Wes Newton in todays players championship. Fair play to Newton, also been playing some crackin darts last few months, pity he'll not be in GSOD0 -

Cheers for that Carrickman! I was trying to C&P the draw the other day but couldn't highlight it for some reason, not sure if it something to do with my browser or the website. Anyway, didn't think to do the link instead:D
2nd Saturday night running theres loads of great sport on tv! Got the WC play-offs with Ireland V France game, UFC 105, Manny Pacquaio V Cotto and the GSOD kicks off!
Least it makes up for being skint and having to sit in at the weekends 0 -

Mervyn King @ 2/9 Tony OShea @ 4/9 Colin Osborne @ 8/13 Kevin Painter @ 8/11 Darryl Fitton @ 1/2 Vincent Van Der Voort @ 8/11
good luckPut a tenner each way on Adrian Lewis @ 33/1 at my local Hacketts bookies. Ted Hankey is priced @ 66/1 so threw a fiver each way on him. He wouldn't be my favourite player but he's still the BDO World Champion and that's surely a good reference in any darting CV. It just goes to show that the bookmakers don't rate the BDO Players much when the World champ is that price! Coverage Of The Grand Slam Of Darts starts tonight at 7 00 on ITV4.
Gonna have couple of quid on both Steve Beaton & Andy Hamilton at 33s and Robert Thornton at 66. All on opposite side of draw from Taylor, so at 1/3 odds for eachway they just need to reach final. I think if any of them hit some form they could well do it. Hamilton, I nearly alway expect to get to 1/4s at least, Beaton's been playing very well recently and Thornton is dangerous, although he hasn't been playing like he did when he 1st came into PDC.
Should be good tournament, just pity the football and UFC is on at same time tonight
EDIT -- decided after checking odds checker(cheers rat) to get onto stan james. Hamilton 50/1 and Beaton/Thornton 66/1 but they offer EW odds of 1/2 for 2 places0 -

No real shocks on night one but great entertainment.
King scoots through as expected as does Osborne,O 'Shea, Webster too but wouldn't have been as fancied.. Taylor drops no leg after again telling us how hard a game it was going to be. Barney does more or less the same to the other Lady competitor in the event but much less convincingly ....I think he still has demons to shake off. Fitton again gets the wobbles as he did when our own Connie put the squeeze on him recently. Still was a great night and Painter V Part was my match of the night. They both served up a treat.
Can't wait for todays games

:eek: didnt realise until last night(after bets done) that Hamilton and Thornton in same group Also never knew thornton had broken his hand! I remember hearing he hurt his hand, but no idea he broke it.
well both could still beat Wade, depending on which Wade turns up, still a difficult task mind.
Beaton throwing good enough darts in his first game against Co Stompe0 -
