Yeah, so one player must play twice the opening night.

If this wasn't the case you wouldn't have any 2nd round game and thus a "headlining" seed on the first night. It's also tradition i believe for the reigning champion to play the first night which couldn't happen if you had no second round game.

Even at that i don't really see the problem. Players should and probably are used to playing multiple games in a day. UK Open - they could play 3-4 games a day i believe. Recent edition of the PL, players played up to 3 games in an evening.

The most ridiculous price I’ve ever seen.

He has a ton of potential, that’s pretty much it as this stage.

Has no chance of winning this, should be 100/1 shot.

Maybe the Bookies don't want a repeat of Rob Cross

You'd be better off back Cross at 33s than throwing money away on Rock at 14s.

Be very interesting to see how he handles the long format games

Don't think he's a 100-1 shot but yes 14-1 is nuts, especially when you looks at the players available at 33's and higher - Cross, Aspinall, DvdB, Noppert

mdwexford · 15-12-2022 2:34pm

Yeah don’t get me wrong I’m looking forward to seeing him play in it and hope he does well.

Rob Cross had done a lot more before the 2018 Worlds and he was about the same price.

100/1 might be a touch big but while I don’t think the following players will win they are as capable of a deep run to the quarters as he imo.

Barney 80/1

de Sousa 100/1

Ratajski 125/1

Gurney 125/1

Lewis 150/1

PTH2009 · 15-12-2022 2:36pm

Think Gurney will be one of the seeds too go in Round 2

Dillonb3 · 15-12-2022 7:29pm

State of Wright 😂

KevIRL · 15-12-2022 7:41pm

Mansell, Barry, wattimena, wright my shouts for tonight.

First game v difficult to call

Dillonb3 · 15-12-2022 8:07pm

Think Ben Robb might edge Mansell. He looked decent in the world cup of darts and Mansell has a rotten record at this.

I'm expecting the first match to be a drab drawn out match like last year's was

PTH2009 · 15-12-2022 8:19pm

That's what Stuart Pyke looks like

PTH2009 · 15-12-2022 8:24pm

Mansell speed up ffs

Sultan of Bling · 15-12-2022 8:47pm

Happy dartmas everyone

ThebitterLemon · 15-12-2022 9:29pm

Never liked the way Keanes darts land.

TbL

irishgeo · 15-12-2022 9:40pm

Why does Barry keep blowing on his fingers?

Sultan of Bling · 15-12-2022 9:41pm

Really poor start from Barry.

ThebitterLemon · 15-12-2022 9:45pm

Barry all over the place

TbL

Sultan of Bling · 15-12-2022 9:56pm

Never seen him play so poorly

Dillonb3 · 15-12-2022 9:57pm

Really sloppy performance from Barry. As TBL mentioned above his darts always land into the board at really awkward looking angles.

irishgeo · 15-12-2022 10:04pm

Can't see him getting back into this. He is all over the shop.

ThebitterLemon · 15-12-2022 10:06pm

His head is gone by the looks of it. The doubling from both of them has been atrocious

TbL

ThebitterLemon · 15-12-2022 10:10pm

Hopefully that settles him

TbL

ThebitterLemon · 15-12-2022 10:18pm

Very very poor night for young Keane

TbL

Dillonb3 · 15-12-2022 10:19pm

Can't fault Sampson there 2 big 180's hit in the last 2 legs. Barry really poor

irishgeo · 15-12-2022 10:20pm

38 trebleless visits by Barry.

mdwexford · 15-12-2022 10:21pm

That was one atrocious game of darts.

Barry was 1/18 at the start!!

ThebitterLemon · 15-12-2022 10:21pm

Those averages were BDOesque!

TbL

roosterman71 · 15-12-2022 10:32pm

I'd say Barry thought he just had to turn up tonight

PTH2009 · 15-12-2022 10:42pm

Pity about Keane Barry

Hopefully he can recover and be back next year. Its getting very hard for the lower seeds to qualify now

The sport is in a great place

Kingp35 · 15-12-2022 10:50pm

The poorest I've seen Barry play in some time. Really awful performance. I know his darts always go in at awkward angles but it looked worse than usual tonight.

If possible, he should really try changing the angle that his darts land in the board. I think it makes him such an inconsistent player.

PTH2009 · 15-12-2022 10:57pm

There must be 100s of boards in the building, is it a new board for each match ?

Cosmo Kramer · 15-12-2022 11:04pm

I know he's young but I find Keane Barry a frustrating watch. He's clearly talented, but I'd say he'd need to completely redesign his game if he's ever going to consistently challenge at the top level. Never feel confident watching him, even when he's having his better days, something just always looks off with his throwing style.

yes

ThebitterLemon · 15-12-2022 11:23pm

Well done Nathan, kept composure under what must have been serious pressure on your debt

TbL

Sultan of Bling · 15-12-2022 11:28pm

Hugely disappointing night for Barry.

Still only 20.

Hopefully his best days are ahead of him.

ThebitterLemon · 15-12-2022 11:36pm

State of Wright!

Did he do the same last year?

TbL

It would be a nice kit for a 12 pubs session 😁

castletownman · 15-12-2022 11:43pm

This new main-comm is horrendous.

Tries too hard to emphasise random words.

mdwexford · 16-12-2022 1:09am

Only one player averaged over 90 tonight, poor opening standard.

2 sessions tomorrow, afternoon one thrown in. Working from home might have its perks…..

PTH2009 · 16-12-2022 1:12am

Saturday and Sunday crowds be some laugh with the mix of 11am and 8pm starts due to the world cup

US3 · 16-12-2022 11:20am

Looking forward to tonight. Does anyone think Beau can do it ? If she plays her A game she's a better player than Willie. All down to nerves

roosterman71 · 16-12-2022 11:23am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120002608#Comment_120002608

She certainly can do it but I suspect she won't. Inexperience may count against her.

Will she go to Q-school next year? I'd love to see her try it and get on the tour. She'd progress on a lot better than on the womens tour then.

Good chat ith her here as well. She seems very grounded.

TipsyMcStagge · 16-12-2022 11:38am

I've been saying it for ages Barrys darts go in the board wrong and he'll never win anything until he sorts out his throw its just wrong he goes low way to often and then blocks the treble with the lie it is all wrong. Mansell was a s drunk as a skunk up there I'm surprised he made it back out for the Wright game still he's banked a nice 15k for beating Robb who was abysmal. Rafferty was the most impressive player on display last night showed real guts and maturity to see of Wattimena.

Kingp35 · 16-12-2022 12:57pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120002608#Comment_120002608

The crowd will be on Beau's side and Willie isn't exactly level headed, he lets things get to him far too easily, so I think a lot depends on how he handles the crowd.

Beau has plenty of on stage experience so that shouldn't be an issue. She's usually a 80's average player but also averages much higher on occasion. It's a fascinating match but I think Willie wins.

roosterman71 · 16-12-2022 1:38pm

Anyone without Sky Sports can watch sessions live on youtube

Kingp35 · 16-12-2022 2:05pm

Cuming averaging 63. I'd beat him. Useless.

Nice gesture but a bit lousy for us paying for Sky Sports

Tauriel · 16-12-2022 4:25pm

Very poor quality picture from both Sky Main Event and Sky Darts channels. My picture keeps going very blurry and out of focus 😩

KevIRL · 16-12-2022 4:53pm

Underwhelming start to the arrows so far.
