BDO Final

fade2black · 14-01-2007 06:04PM #1

It's not going to rival the PDC final, I'm certain of that. But hey, it deserves a thread of its own at least.

I've had a cheeky* bet on Adams to win 7-4

*cheeky - a word used by me to justify a silly bet.

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 06:11PM

Jeez Tony Green said its the finest championship he's seen in 30 years. Numpty.

cast_iron · 14-01-2007 06:20PM

He also said there was absolute silence - as always - when the players are throwing.
He must be getting both blind and deaf!

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 06:21PM

I wouldnt mind seeing Adams winning it, but I'd hate to see him walk away with it and thus win with no pressure.

First set against the darts to Adams.

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 06:32PM

Adams 2-0 up and coasting.

He was miles ahead in the World Masters final and lost, but I'm not sure Nixy has the ability that MvG showed then!

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 06:37PM

Adams 3-0 up in sets. (3-1, 3-1, 3-0)

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 06:44PM

Sets: Adams 4-0 Nixon
Legs: Adams 12-2 Nixon

Demolition job

fade2black · 14-01-2007 06:46PM

He was 10-1 to win 7-0. That's looking generous now.

Kingp35 · 14-01-2007 06:47PM

I dont have BBC in my apartment so I usually go home to my parents to watch the darts. Didnt go home today because had a feeling this would be a demolition job and ts looking like that will be the case.

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 06:53PM

5-0. 3-1 this time to Adams. Nixon missed a lot of darts to make it 2-2 in legs.

fade2black · 14-01-2007 07:01PM

How did he get to the final??

fade2black · 14-01-2007 07:03PM

Poor Nixon couldnt finish his dinner.

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 07:04PM

Nixon missed 12 darts at a double to go 2-1 up in the 6th set against the throw - Adams takes out 40 at his 5th attempt after being miles behind.

2 more missed darts a double by Nixon and Adams takes the 6th set 3-1.
Adams scored poorly in that set but Nixon still couldnt take advantage.

Kingp35 · 14-01-2007 07:11PM

Sounds to me as if Nixon just cant hit a double to save his life. He did exactly the same in the latter half of the de Ruiter match but he eventually managed to win it. Sounds like a very poor showing and a very poor final.

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 07:20PM

Adams breaks Nixon in Leg 1
Nxon breaks back in Leg 2
Nixon starts 40, 45 in Leg 3! Adams got a 180 in between.
Adams sitting on 68, when Nixy hits 180.
Adams missed two darts at D4
Nixy doesnt even get a shot at a double from 72.
Adams takes out D2 - one leg from title and throwing first.

(commentry mentioned they've broken the record for 180s in a championship - surprisingly)

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 07:23PM

Adams still not throwing great - follows up a 45 with a 43.

Nixon on 164 - scores 95.

Adams 157 for match - T1 first dart - but leaves 40

69 for Nixon - S15, S18 - one dart at 36 to save it. Hits it! 2 legs each. The first time he got 2 legs in a set.

fade2black · 14-01-2007 07:24PM

The comeback is on!!! lol

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 07:25PM

Nixon well ahead in final leg.307 to 415.
212 to 355.

PN: 112 - gets T20, S12, D20!

A set for Phil. Crowd erupt

Adams sucking a lemon - EDIT, in fairness he was gracious first

cast_iron · 14-01-2007 07:26PM

Nixon takes the title:D

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 07:28PM

Adams throwing very average.

Kingp35 · 14-01-2007 07:32PM

Come on Nixon!

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 07:34PM

Nixon comfortably holds throw to make it 2-0.

Adams takes out 161 to make it 2-1 - might get him back on form.

Nixon throwing for set.

Adams throws in another 41 - every leg he's having one. But Nixy's not making him pay.

180 from Adams leaves him on 95. Nixy replies with 137.

MA 95: 25, T20, S5 only

PN 54: S18, D18!! Set for Nixy, 2-6

Kingp35 · 14-01-2007 07:35PM

Would be some comeback if Nixon could do it. He has the darts in this set now doesnt he?

P.S. Rooster, have a look in the Mod Nomination thread.

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 07:36PM

Nixy takes out 61 for 1st leg in set 9 with throw.

Adams wife complaining about the break...

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 07:40PM

Adams needs 141 - misses T20.
Nixy needs 56. 16, S20, D10.
2-0 for PN.

Nixon throwing for set.
PN hits a 180 to leave 223. Adams on 301
124-201

PN 124: starts with T5 - leaves 70.
Adams leaves himself 141.

PN 70: T15, S9, 0

Kingp35 · 14-01-2007 07:42PM

Great posts Rooster, keep them up.Sounds like Nixon is hitting everything now!

CrowdedHouse · 14-01-2007 07:51PM

Thanks for the updates lads,OH is watching Emmerdale/Corrie,thought it (the match)was over at 7 o'c

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 07:52PM

2 legs each.

Adams missed 2 darts for title.

Nixon takes out D7 with his second dart.

6-4 now.

(Sorry got distracted by a ridiculous comment on the moderation thread. Going to keep out of that now. We get on fine as we are anyway. Fook the begrudgers)

The Rooster · 14-01-2007 07:53PM

Balls - family commitments means an end to my updates. Hopefully someone else will take up the mantle.

first leg to Nixon in set 11

Rooster - signing out for a while!

Kingp35 · 14-01-2007 07:55PM

Thanks alot for the updates Rooster.

This will be the greatest come back in the History of the sport if Nixon can keep this up.

fade2black · 14-01-2007 08:03PM

Adams had 2 shots to win the match for double 8. (And my bet would have come in!) Bit of a bottler.

Still though...I'm cheering for Nixon.
