Cant you just switch to it via the red button on yer remotes? Also if anyone is using FTA receiver, do a full scan and watch it all on channel name STREAM 1. No need to miss anything.

And what about us poor people with UPC?? BBC3 or 4 would have been a better placce to screen it

Ronan|Raven

Yea well that is yere punishment for using UPC and cable. But seriously it is annoying but it is done every year by them. As you say shove it on BBC4 it would be grand there and everyone could be happy. Except for people waiting on repeats of two pints of lager and a pack of cyanide.

Whoever he was he was scaring the sh1t out of Chissnal the way he kept screaming questions at him and then shoving the microphone into his face.

Thanks for that. I never knew that

chisnall showed amazing strength and true champion quality to come back the way he did. to come out after the break and have an 11 and 12 dart leg was awesome and great to watch.
and yeah **** the BBC. i had to try get a stream to watch the rest.

Having watched the PDC the other week, the standard in the BDO seems brutal, so I checked the wiki and it claims only 20 times has anyone averaged over 100 in the BDO, and most of those players are now in the PDC. I checked the PDC stats and their were 14 games in this years championship where a player averaged over 100. Is the gulf between the 2 competitions really this huge nowadays?

Dave Chisnall have over 100 in his 2nd round match it must be a good sign for him this year.

Double Top

just want to see what you lads think of this. the players first 9 avg is between 100-105 and there finishing most games in 15-18 darts, whats confusing me is how are they only avgeraging 90-95 overall???. how are they losing 10 points on just 6 darts i know that is because there on a finish so there not scoring as heavy as here first 9 but that no excuse for them to drop that low.

could you imagine if the PDC put up the first 9 avg you'd be looking at 110-120 easy

I was just thinking about this, what is the point in having a first nine average! Think the highest checkout is 146 this week (correct me if wrong!) which just proves they struggling on their doubling out!

it's always the way:D:D.
i'd say the same would be great if O'Shea got through but Chisnall is on a high after beating hankey and after O'Shea's last game he could try too much.

Philips is throwing great darts but Adams is too consistant for him in the long run.

Pineapple stu

Is it just me or has Adams had an easy run to the semi ? I hope Phillips keeps it together and beats him.

So the BBC can make them sound better than they are and viewers with a lesser knowledge of the game may even think they are on a comparison to the PDC :eek:

nope, Bobby George aswell

dartbhoy

Looking forward to the 2 semi finals today. Chisnall v O'Shea kicks off at 2 30pm and i'd like to see O'Shea win but Chisnall has been brilliant this week and i reckon he'll win it 6-5 or 6-4. Like most posters on here i agree that Adams has got an easy run to the semi final and he'll be expected by most people to win today but i reckon Phillips will give him a tough enough game with Adams winning 6-4 or 6-3.

shockframe

Hard to call the first game.chisnall has been in better form this tournament but o''shea is coming in under the radar.we could be going all the way.o'shea 6-5

the second semi adams will win pulling up.6-1/6-2 id say

Kingp35

Looking forward to Chisnall v O' Shea. O' Shea hasn't really done much this week but we all know he is a top class player and I think his experience will win it for him in a cracker.

Expecting Adams to win through easy enough 6-3 but you never know with Phillips.

Chisnall just done a 164 there to go within a leg of the final!

Mad_Max

Cracking game here.

Chisnall lad is some scraper. I had it for O'Shea/Adams final but won't mind it if this lad gets there.

Edit: He just won it on the bull after checking out 164 before it.
