    Is it the top eight seeds and a crowd of chaps picked off the street?? Doesn't look appealing at all :(

    Yeah I'm not up on the BDO at all , they lost more to the PDC this year than I think they ever have

    Group F looks competitive

    How will Durrant get on, rumors that he’s changed his mind and will switch

    Durrant should get out of that group, possibly Mitchell too. Uttnerbucher a good player yoo.

    You'd have to fancy Ratajski to go deep aswell.

    Durrant thumped Whitlock 5-1, should come out of that Group and it’ll be interesting to see how he performs overall

    Barney should have been sent packing.

    Don’t know why he’s so popular, he’s a windbag!

    I enjoy it, sure there’s some very one sided matches but you get that in the early rounds of most big competitions

    Some great matches today. Good to see the BDO boys win some. Always liked the format of the GSOD.

    Yep, and Durrant unlucky against Price.

    I reckon Durrant would hold his own in the PDC and probably improve

    Ya was hoping McGeeney would have beaten Glen in the BDO final and then he would have switched.

    Durrant has a good temperament and with a lot of practice should rattle the big boys.

    The quality of this McG Clayton match is breathtaking

    Very impressed with Clayton

    Great game and Clayton showing serious stones

    Serious stones Clayton.

    That was brilliant.

    If you can hang with MvG while he’s on fire he seems to have a wobbly patch during the game

    Really enjoyed that

    Doesn’t look like a great line up tonight, maybe Van der Bergh v McGeeney the pick of the bunch

    Gilding threw some great darts. Then Whitlock gets a bit a luck at the end.

    Yep but I think it’s a pity though Durrant would put up a decent show on behalf of the BDO.

    Who do you fancy to win it?

    I like the look of Anderson.

    Not so sure about that re Durrant, always thought he was decent and I’d think he’d improve further with frequent exposure to the better players

    You'd be surprised what durrant could achieve if he played full time. Hes already regularly average 100+ while still delivering letters 8 hours a day. Look at suljovic, if you told us a few years ago he'd be top 8 you'd have been ridiculed
