    I am a PDC TV subscriber and I was under the imrpession I could get 6 table tickets for Dublin with it but the system is only letting me get 2. Does anyone know why this is?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2


    Delighted for price, the most consistent player in world over last 12 months, he could pick up another big one soon, ratajski not far behind him.

    Another round 1 exit for the inform Willie o Connor hopefully he can get going again soon

    Came through the Qualifiers for seven Euro Tours in a row, many decent runs in Players champs, beat Peter Wright on stage in Euro Tour two weeks ago, have a look through here, and point out where the cliff fall occurred:

    His form is actually better recently than it was up to the DAY before he won a Players championships event in April. He went out in the first round (and cashless) in 8 of the first 11 Players Champs events this year. His recent form is far better than that. You seem to be only judging him to the high standards of the World Cup final and his first Players championships victory in April.

    Yours sincerely,
    Wilie 'The Magpie' O'Connor

    He had a fierce few months winning the title, 9 darter at the green isle, final of world cup, he's had a lot of first round exits with fairly ordinary averages since that's all I meant, I'm his #1 fan

    Looks like it alright.

    Willie really has been poor since turning professional. Maybe he's putting too much pressure on himself. He's losing a fair few quid with all these first round exits.

    Yeah hotels flights and generally just living and having a family without a wage. Must be scary. I'm sure he'll get going soon he has the skills.

    with Price reaching the semi finals , he is now going to top the players champs order of Merit, unless he loses in the semi and Ratajski wins the final

    either way James Wade who has won 5 of the 30 players champs will move down to at least second seed.
    The reason Wade with 5 titles is not tops is because he has not played in 10 events, so a great haul for Wade in the events he entered.

    PC titles won this year so far

    Wade 5
    Price 3
    Ratajski 2
    Dolan 2
    Wright 2
    Chizzy 2
    De Sousa 2
    Durrant 2

    Wade will most likely now pay for his laziness and him missing so many events.
    He lost his top seed spot and now as second seed, and if the draw I saw is correct he will most likely meet MVG in the last 16....the section of the draw no one wants.

    He deserves it for being so complacent.

    I get your point but he's won more events than anyone, maybe he didn't see MvG missing so many events aswell ?
    If you want to win a tournament your more than likely going to have to beat MvG at some stage anyway

    True, but we both know players want to avoid MVG, just like they wanted to avoid Taylor in the past.


    Take ally pally coming up, watch how players will be missing events.
    Take Wade, who is now #8 in the Oom, and in line to meet MVG at Ally Pally, as MVG wont be losing his #1, but hypothetically Wade could easily skip an event or two to drop to 9th and get an easier draw at Ally Pally.


    I am sure many players factor in things like this.

    Eh? #9 has the same path as #8 from the quarters onwards.
    #10 or #11 is probably the sweet spot to get to (if you can't move up to #6 or #7).

    I know but 8th gets you the #1 seed un the last 16. while 9thth gets him a round later I believe.


    A lot of pdc draws lately have been very imbalanced die to the way things worked out and players dorm.
    Anderson for example is well off form for missing so many events , like euro tours and players champs, it skews things a little

    End of the day any player with in with a shout of winning it will have to beat 2 or 3 top players

    of course, but the number of players capable and who have won majors is hardly impressive when you look at the top 16.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,651 ✭✭✭US2

    Van Gerwen, Anderson, Cross, Wright, Price, Gurney, Chisnal, Smith , Aspinall, Durrant , Wade all capable of making the final .

    Champions League of Darts is hard to watch with Paul Nicholson on commentary. As unbearable as a commentator as he was a player.
