Big disappointment so far

Kingp35 · 03-02-2022 11:37pm

The production is atrocious.

Despite that though, I really enjoyed that game between Painter and O'Shea. Good quality and very close match. A pity I had to use pen and paper to keep score though.

Had a look at John Boy Walton and Les Wallace there at lunchtime, standard not great, but thoroughly entertaining

I expect it'll be a breeze for Phil Taylor

Kingp35 · 04-02-2022 4:04pm

Wallace played much better than I thought he would, he got better as the game went on. Dave Prins playing well here against Paul Lim.

Obviously the standard isn't great but it's still entertaining stuff. The production has also improved today although it couldn't have gotten any worse.

Dillonb3 · 04-02-2022 4:42pm

I can see Taylor winning 9-0 in legs against Manley later

Fattybojangles · 04-02-2022 4:51pm

The production is an absolute disgrace like it is being filmed on a potato and no scoreboard totally fcuked it made it almost unwatchable but having said all that I'll 100% tune in to watch Taylor later.

Dillonb3 · 04-02-2022 4:52pm

Larry Butler throwing some darts, 98 average so far. Warriner-Little not troubling him

Fattybojangles · 04-02-2022 4:56pm

To be fair the production seems better today I've just managed to sneak it on in work.

Kingp35 · 04-02-2022 5:16pm

Butler played some very good stuff there. Could definitely go on a good run if he can keep that standard up. AWL was shocking though, claiming he has an injury.

Atlantic Dawn · 04-02-2022 5:21pm

Is it terrible looking on BT Sport too, are all broadcasters using same feed?

Murdoc90 · 04-02-2022 5:26pm

Sad to see Jenkins without the tache :-(

Kingp35 · 04-02-2022 6:04pm

Terry Jenkins looked good. 85 average despite some missed doubles. I would love if he could win this!

Deeper Blue · 04-02-2022 8:17pm

Watching this makes you appreciate how slick the Sky production is.

In saying that I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

Dillonb3 · 04-02-2022 8:22pm

Standard is decent. Just shows how the class doesn't leave some of the players, Painter is looking good here.

PsychoPete · 04-02-2022 8:45pm

Watching it on BT, it looks better tonight

Kingp35 · 04-02-2022 8:47pm

Painter looked class. Really good darts and he could push Taylor in the quarters.

Feed just gone down on Virgin

Said I'd give it 10/ 15 minutes........now I'm hooked.....very enjoyable

Deeper Blue · 04-02-2022 8:58pm

I like the way the averages are displayed on screen the whole time, it's a nice addition

Dillonb3 · 04-02-2022 9:26pm

Is Howson the kirk sheppard of this tournament? 😁

paddythere · 04-02-2022 9:33pm

Warriner should never be allowed to commentate on darts again after that performance😂. I would have thrashed him myself

Ginger83 · 04-02-2022 9:37pm

Adams 136 finish 150 and now 157.Brilliant

callaway92 · 04-02-2022 9:44pm

Adams really good since start of 2nd set onwards

Dillonb3 · 04-02-2022 9:44pm

153 to win it for Adams

Ginger83 · 04-02-2022 9:45pm

Martin Adams take a bow

Deeper Blue · 04-02-2022 9:46pm

Some display of finishing from Adams

Deeper Blue · 04-02-2022 9:49pm

Bobby George and Ray Stubbs look like they went clothes shopping in Penneys on the way to the studio and threw them straight on before going on air.

Deeper Blue · 04-02-2022 9:56pm

Very surprised that Manley is younger than Taylor, assumed he was 5 years older at least

shockframe · 04-02-2022 9:58pm

That was incredible from Adams. Class act.

Brilliant to have Ray Stubbs on board for this. One of the great darts presenters.

Kingp35 · 04-02-2022 10:32pm

Taylor very poor so far. I'm surprised.

callaway92 · 04-02-2022 10:34pm

Awful here - have a feeling that Taylor A) no motivation but more importantly B) will raise standards against a better opponent

Still like Manley’s throw - always enjoyed it

It is great Craic though.......... Bobby George with half the stock out of cash converters on his wrist/ fingers.

callaway92 · 05-02-2022 5:39pm

Martin Adams won’t mind who wins this Deller vs Butler match. Both poor although Deller had a few good clutch doubles

Mr. Guappa · 05-02-2022 5:54pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118587101#Comment_118587101

Imagine the state of the board if Deller was playing Simon Whitlock!

callaway92 · 05-02-2022 10:07pm

Taylor continuing yesterday’s poor form so far. Painter well on his way

Kingp35 · 05-02-2022 10:30pm

Oh how I love watching Taylor lose darts matches!

Deeper Blue · 05-02-2022 11:48pm

Missed the game tonight but thought Taylor looked dreadful against Manley yesterday. Delighted for Painter

Yep.......its more of a case of 'lack of' Power Taylor nowadays ....buy hey, what a fantastic career....brilliant player. With these seniors tournament ( in golf, snooker, darts, tennis) you can't expect the 'numbers' to be anywhere near the same as these guys had in the 80s & 90's

Kingp35 · 06-02-2022 12:18pm

Doesn't anyone else think Taylor will just pack it in and not bother playing the other tournaments? I doubt he wants to show up and get beaten by players he used to hammer.

Unless he intends to practice like mad.

passinginterest · 06-02-2022 12:27pm

You could see the improvement in Taylor from the Manley game and his average was creeping up through the Painter game. He went from 70s to mid 80s and was on the rise. I’ve no doubt he’ll start practicing now and he’ll be back with a view to winning this next year and a few others along the way. There’s been a clear advantage to the players who kept playing competitive darts for the most part.

I can see the standard rising pretty rapidly, especially if it’s open to more qualifiers. The money seems half decent and the limited number of events will probably appeal to a lot of players winding down on the PDC tour where the intensity and travel demands are huge now.

Apparently, he does intend to practice like mad - and has just had a new board delivered to his house...

Kingp35 · 06-02-2022 2:28pm

Good start to this semi final. You can see how much it means to both players.

passinginterest · 06-02-2022 3:14pm

That’s been the best part about the tournament for me. The worry was it would be a glorified exhibition, but you could see every player really wanted to win and there’s genuine nerves and tension.

Two lads averaging high 80’s here, good standard and the averages really only being pulled down a bit by the odd long leg where the tension has hit on the doubles. Really entertaining and looking at the crowds too it looks like there’s real potential for a seniors tour of sorts.

MaxPower89 · 06-02-2022 9:15pm

Thornton to win this?

06-02-2022 9:19pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118592068#Comment_118592068

No doubt about it..........the odds were terrible but I placed a €50 bet on a weird double.......thornton to Win and HIGEHEST CHECKOUT

MaxPower89 · 06-02-2022 9:50pm

Demolition job this

06-02-2022 10:12pm

Fair PLAY to Wolfie.....hes "found his feet"......too late though

06-02-2022 10:30pm

Jesus....thornton made hard work of that last set!!!!!!!!!!
