    Fair point, but I think she is at nothing within the women's tournament if she's ambitious. If not grand stay where you are.

    Wonder who beat her for the place in the pdc wc.

    lisa ashton averaged 107 in first set again jan decker in this years pdc

    fallon will prob be back in low 80s over longer format

    Went twice to the grand slam in Wolverhampton. Loud raucous crowd. There's only one Philip Taylor chant would annoy the hell out of you.

    Exactly and that's why any woman who's serious about playing and making a decent living needs to play a lot more in tournaments against harder opposition.

    This means going down the route of having to qualify in the men's tournament. I think she would defo beat a lot in the men's.

    She has to get away from the women's tournament which is in the doldrums.

    I think Fallon is a serious talent. Almost 90 average and 50% on her doubles. If she played men I think she could be very good. 15 15 16 to win 1st set. That's serious darts.

    Shes not even the best women's player, well down the list.

    Scottish laddie playing now, Horgarth, looks like he's going to punch someone if he doesn't start to play better.

    It's terrible looking at him and Wes to see how bad they have both gone . I didn't see Hamilton today but Wes was woeful . He was hitting 1's and 5's and then dropping down for cover on 19's and hitting 7's . He miscounted numerous times and was going for the wrong shots when trying to set up out shots and finishes. I felt sorry for the guy This would be bad pub darts never mind World Championship level.
    Once the first round or two is over the quality tends to dramatically improve - McGeeney , Durrant , Unterbuchner , Mitchell , Waites , Williams are all very capable players.
    I'm heading over for the semi's and final so hoping the boys are at full tilt come Saturday afternoon ....Let's...play...Darts !!

    Andy Hamilton was the second most backed player after Scott Waites with Ladbrokes. Some crazy punters out there.

    The Commentary team really talked up Hamilton for the first set and said he had some good results in the bdo this year. He was runnerup in the welsh and malta opens. He won the first leg of the match well and then that was the end of him. His scoring and finishing tumbled off a cliff

    watched some of the Hammer at lunchtime, jeebus he was woeful
    The commentator threw out a stat - he's won over £1m in prize money, the lad he was playing about £40k...

    I wonder with him and Wes Newton, did they just manage to perform above their natural ability for a few years - their fall has been spectacular
    If you look at the Hammer, he had a good run through 2012/2013 but fell off the proverbial darting cliff after that, same with Wes

    Lots of other examples - you could say the same of Richie Burnett for example - really hot for a few years in the mid 90's, but after that...

    Have to say I'm enjoying the commentary. Better than Sky imo.

    John Rawling is class at it. I even like Nicohlson.:pac: The stuff he comes out with.

    Dobromyslova just won in the women's. I don't know the average of the other girl but couldn't have been much more than 50.

    Turner's avg was just over 57 and I'm not sure she even threw at a double.
