McGeeney is apparently the form player. Jesus I'd hate to see the out of form player.

Itssoeasy · 06-01-2018 3:26pm

Martin Adams knocked out.

Wolfies interview will be cringey. He laughs after every sentence.like he has some nervous problem .

Well he didn't laugh that much but apparently he's back practicing regularly and he's eating on a regular schedule again after he was sick.

Doesn’t look like someone who had a problem eating

This game is way better

Ultimate Seduction · 06-01-2018 4:11pm

The 2500 quid Wolfie won at the 2016 PDC Grand Slam of Darts last 32, is the biggest cheque he has won in 3 years.

The noise when the dart hits the board at lakeside is almost deffening, do they use a different board in the pdc?

Is like that every year. It's like they attach the board to a kick drum or something.

I think he was more focused on overcoming prostate cancer and getting back to his best for the the best part of the last 2 years.

Rock Lesnar · 06-01-2018 4:19pm

Is it just me or does the camera angle make it look like the board is at a 45 degree angle

Rock Lesnar · 06-01-2018 4:24pm

Pints everywhere in the background of the backstage interviews

DJIMI TRARORE · 06-01-2018 4:38pm

This competition reminds me of having to watch the junior B match after the seniors have played

Averages of 82 each, 1 180 , no.2 seed against a 3 time winner should be better than this

What is the story with Ted Hankey?

What is the story with Ted Hankey?

Guy is a gobshite of the highest order, I've posted this before in this forum somewhere

I'm from a small town in North Wales, Hankey was living in Shotton at the time of his first BDO title and for some time before, on Saturdays when he didn't have a tournament he'd come to a club down the road from me (Teh Crosville Club) and spend most of the afternoon there, he'd charge ya 3 quid to play him 1001 and would give 50quid of ya beat him

Even though we had some great Super league players and a few county players nobody normally got within 2/300 of him, the guy was a machine, that was until one Saturday Paul Bryant battered him, think Paul did 1001 in something stupid like 21 darts, of course Hankey went nuts, asked Paul if he fancied double or quits, Paul declined, said it was a one off and he'd take the 50quid.

Hankey threw 50 quid on the table and walked out, never to be seen at the club again

I put a tenner on him at 66/1 to win the Lakeside just before the tournament started, so he made me a fair bit

Ally Dick · 06-01-2018 10:49pm

Did Ted fail to qualify for the BDO this year?

what a d1ck

He'd be there for a good 6-8hrs, and playing constantly, maybe 10 legs an hour, thats an easy 200quid plus for him, really not a nice guy

Very big headed, full of himself, but damn he was good, we just enjoyed spending the day having a few pints and a few games

Degag · 07-01-2018 2:15pm

Scott Mitchell looks like the man to beat this year. Averaged 98 against an opponant who himself averaged 99 in what appeared to be a decent match (only caught the end of it)

Tom Mann Centuria · 07-01-2018 2:18pm

Glen Durrant looks head and shoulders above most other players here. Was interesting hearing his little interview about just how lonely being on the road is, I'd say top level dart players who reach the top level (here and in the better standard competition) must get sick of being away from home as long as they are, no matter how well they're paid.

millhouse · 07-01-2018 2:45pm

Danny Noppert would have averaged above 100 if he'd had taken out a few doubles later in the match . This comes 4 days after his mother died. If he can keep his head right he's got to be right up there this year. Last years beaten finalist in his first year. But you're right durrant looks a class act .

Inquitus · 07-01-2018 3:06pm

This match is pretty terrible. I guess they don't show the dart count or the averages any more to make it harder to draw accurate conclusions abut the quality of the darts.

Mr. Rahm · 07-01-2018 3:26pm

This is unbelievably bad. Neither player can count! They can't even hit the big numbers.

millhouse · 07-01-2018 3:43pm

These lads are both shocking. Any half decent player will beat them 3-0 in the 1st round proper. Anyone know who this winner plays .

They can't even hit singles!!

Needs Must · 07-01-2018 4:06pm

Dire stuff this, they're doing well to hit the board.

Inquitus · 07-01-2018 4:06pm

Losers in these prelims get £2k, if they advance and lose in the first round (last 32) proper they get £3,250. Breakdown is below:

Inquitus · 07-01-2018 4:18pm

Winning average 75.22 jaysus!

SteM · 07-01-2018 4:22pm

Can't believe I sat through that match. There must be some wrong with me.

wally1990 · 07-01-2018 4:24pm

God even his interview is awful

robman60 · 07-01-2018 4:43pm

Hammond v Sherrock fairly good so far. Too many stray darts from Sherrock up to now though.

sc86 · 07-01-2018 4:50pm

75 average
this could be worst championship yet

Ultimate Seduction · 07-01-2018 4:51pm

What a match!! I know it's easy say it from my couch but how are these players getting on TV
That's literally pub standard not even county

Well the regional qualifiers are bound to produce some players who are unfit for purpose I suppose.

Ally Dick · 07-01-2018 5:54pm

Lots of the players are missing doubles by big margins

mfceiling · 07-01-2018 5:57pm

Montgomery would pìss you off the way he looks at nothing in particular after good or bad darts.

These darts are so bad that the roof nearly comes off the hall when there's a 180

This is the best standard yet the Waites v Montgomery game, still nothing to write home about mind. The winning average of 75.22 earlier was bloody awful.

The Premier Man · 07-01-2018 6:27pm

11 darter by waites to win it... You'd wonder how good he could be if ever went full time at it

Inquitus · 07-01-2018 6:32pm

The averages of that last one - Ross Mcnoloyalty (90.72) 1-3 (88.89) Scott Waites

I grabbed the averages from the darts forum, he's been slagging the BDO a fair bit apparently hence the nickname.
