Steve Beaton vs John Henderson in tonight's Quarter Final. Great to see these at it, top lads.

Henderson is a strange case. Always does well on these Euro events, can't hit the board in UK events..

Anyone watching the german darts masters? Its on pdc.tv. if anyone wants a stream give me a pm.

cant see past mvg again, hopefully gurney has a good run

gramar · 09-09-2017 4:52pm

I watched some last night. My abiding memory even though I've seen him plenty of times is of Andrew Gilding nearly walking off the oche to throw a dart. They had to change the camera angle on the board because of him.

Some man! He must have a huge room to practice in at home

MvG won the German masters (obviously)

Fair play to Rob cross getting to the final. What a player he's turning out to be

111 average for MVG

Great experience for Cross, having a fantastic year to date.

No Phil Taylor for the Grand Prix at Citywest.

good , his behaviour this year is worse than ever before and that's saying something

ArmaniJeanss · 12-09-2017 10:39am

First time that there hasn't been two places reserved for Irish players?

Yeah I think so. In fairness it's a major, there shouldn't be reserved places for players. Everyone should have to qualify by right.

We are on the BBC this weekend, 2nd edition of the grandly titled Champions League of Darts.

Id say you have your tournaments mixed up. This is just the top 8 PDC players. The Grand Slam has the BDO players in November.

Crazy how this exhibition event has 100k prize. More than most ranking events.

I keep repeating myself but there are far too many nothing tournaments on the PDC calandar. They need to scrap some of them and come up with some proper ranking tournaments.

This CL tournament really is having a tournament for the sake of it.

Ultimate Seduction · 15-09-2017 9:52am

Ya I'd agree too. I'd prefer 5 or 6 week long majors a year than nothing darts every weekend. I do like the European tour events though.

They Euro tour events are decent. Plenty of games in short format and a chance to see players you wouldn't see otherwise.

The problem I see is that of 12 Euro tour events that bar Gibraltar the rest are in Germany (9) and Vienna (1) which is practically Germany anyway and Maastricht which you could say the same about as it's only across the border.

It's not much of a tour when they're always on in the same country. I'm sure a few other countries could host a couple of these Ireland being one of them.

Ultimate Seduction · 15-09-2017 10:04am

Ya us possibly, the Dutch get screwed too. Not enough events for the biggest darting nation on the planet.

PDC seem very biased for Germany, young Max Hopp getting a real push from me Hearn even.

Germany
Spain
Holland
Austria
Ireland
Italy
France

That's a proper Euro tour

The European Tour events are ranked tournaments where every player has a chance to qualify so they are proper tournaments and enjoyable ones.

I agree with gramar that they need to be spread around a few other countries though.

PTH2009 · 15-09-2017 6:00pm

do PDC fly in 100s of players too Dublin the weekend before the Grand Prix to play in the European Championships or whatever those events are ???

Yeah, players championship on for 2 days before the grand prix. Not open to public though. You need an invite from a player.

He wasn't at the races at all today.
You could see them have a quick word after it finished.
It looks like MvG was answering 'I don't know' most likely having been
asked by Barney why he played badly.

Mensur has had two very good wins and no-one will fancy him on that from.
I hope he goes all the way, Interesting character.

Ultimate Seduction · 17-09-2017 10:15am

Managed to get Mensor to win this out at 26/1 yesterday, still hopefull.

gramar · 17-09-2017 2:42pm

Peter Wright threw the match away and then his darts!

sheepers · 17-09-2017 2:49pm

What was the offensive thing the BBC commentator said that the presenter had to just apologise for?

paulie21 · 17-09-2017 7:37pm

Some 160 checkout to win for Suljovic. Barney on 32 after 9 darts to put on loads of pressure

peteeeed · 17-09-2017 7:42pm

Amazing finish , very hard to watch some of the matches when Dan (Alan partridge ) is commentating

Oh but it’s all good natured , good old Phil ...........f*ck right off and retire

Would like to see Mensur win here.

Gary looks a bit frustrated, C'mon Mensur.

I still think Mensur will bottle it, wish I had done him each way!!

A cert for the premier league this year now? They can't ignore him any longer. MensurMania

Only had a 5r on it lads. I've probably lost more than the 135 backing him over the last 2 years. Absolutely delighted for him! What a guy.

Apparently he himself decided not to be considered for this years PL, didn't sign the pre-contract that all the T16 are asked to sign in December. Felt it would be detrimental to his season (plenty of players have had mare seasons after a bad PL) and the travelling would mean he might actually lose money.
There was a good interview posted here at the time.

He said in around July that he didn't want to play in it, thinking he wouldn't ever get an invite. He isn't even playing in the German leg of the world series, the great max Hopp got the invite instead! Pdc don't like mensur, Not marketable.

Deeper Blue · 17-09-2017 10:51pm

Delighted for Mensur, very likeable guy and a great story

PTH2009 · 17-09-2017 11:06pm

Congrats to Mensur, it's a lot of money to win for him and I'm sure he will enjoy it. Outsider for the grand prix ???

That Phil Taylor interview after the semi final was a bit sickening and I understand now why he is disliked. He got a nice job from one of his good friends and he recommends Cardiff for a night out

peteeeed · 18-09-2017 8:31am

i think mensur might still be on the stage , really great to see him win and see what it meant to him

statto25 · 18-09-2017 9:22am

What did Taylor say after his Semi-Final?
