    6 out of the 8 bdo players got out of the group last year.

    Durrant is class as we know. McGeeny is world number 1. Menzies is on fire this year too. Danny noppert is a serious talent too wholl be shaking up the pdc next year. Machin in form latley too.Mitchell and Montgomery have it all to do. Id fancy at least 4 bdo players in semis

    howd that go :D

    Slightly arrogant interview from Durrant after he beat Chizzy - ''give me a tour card and I'll come over''

    Couple of interesting ties tonight:

    7.15pm Daryl Gurney v James Wade
    8.15pm Phil Taylor v Darren Webster
    9.15pm Michael van Gerwen v Steve Lennon
    10.15pm Raymond van Barneveld v Rob Cross

    thats taking what he said out of context
    did you hear the full interview?

    the problem is he has signed a contract with the bdo that if he gets to semi final or final of lakeside
    he does not get prize money if he leaves to do q school

    Poor enough night last night entertainment wise bar the last game. Cross looks like the real deal and seems to be much more relaxed on TV now. Should be a good game between himself and MvG.

    By the way I agree with whoever posted earlier in the thread about the how the draw is done, it's ridiculous that Cross and MvG are meeting again in the quarter finals. They should not be able to meet again until the final like all other logical sporting competitions.

    Thought your dart couldn’t be counted if it falls out?

    I think if the ref 'scores it' before it falls it's ok?

    If its still in the board before you pull out the other darts it counts.

    Well in tonights instances it fell before he got to the board (Mensur had to pick them off the ground) but just as or marginally after the ref was calling the score.
    Doesn't seem easy to find the actual pdc rule book online, but would guess Russ Bray knows it backwards.

    Why Anderson got so bad over the board being changed? Surely it makes no difference, New boards for every game anyway?

    If Gurney avoids getting drawn into Phil's games and keeps the crowd off his back he should win.

    Not a hope gurney wins, Taylor's in his head since the interview other night. Gurney straight on to Twitter defending himself
