    If only the BBC stopped employing the man from the Carry On films with the nervous tic (Bernard Bresslaw? Jack Douglas) to do the camera work.

    Good performance from Norris, two Bull finishes. Poor from Waites though, I think folded under the pressure of defending his title.

    For those of you without the red button (like myself), there are streams available online to watch.

    Waites hurt himself playing dominoes in the local over Christmas. Nice preparation :rolleyes:
    Norris finished well and deserved to win. Small complaint over camera-work. Do they employ a spotter?

    Yeah they do but whoever he is he's absolutely awful. It's been poor for years now, you think they would have sorted it by now.

    Here's hoping Adams goes out in the Premin game, I can't stand the man.

    Have the rules of dominoes changed a bit recently?
    I'm guessing the dominoes part has nothing much to do with the injury...

    maybe he was stretching a bit too far to play at the other end.

    Such a terrible excuse.

    It was when he stood up after playing I gather but one's allowed a little poetic licence on boards:D

    Maybe he cheated and the lad he was playing broke a chair over him. Sounds like an unnecessary addition to the story.

    Those without the Red Button, what are you watching on?

    If freesat/free to air, using say a generic sat box receiver, the Red Button channels are there. Red button does not work on mine, so I did a manual retune during some of the big sporting events air by the BBC, say Wimbledon or the Olympics, and afterwards found three of them showing the different courts/events when doing a manual search through the channels. None of them were named red button, but renamed them my self and rearranged them so easy to find in my channel list.

    ;)

    How can a darts caller get a job at the worlds when he cant pronounce 'one hundred' properly. He was there last year as well and cant believe he's back without having learned how to pronounce it

    One hunwed!

    I know I'm being a bit unfair on him as he's Dutch so not his first language, but you would think 100 would be crucial to learn in his role
