Robbored Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Been watching it on Sky. Pretty dull so far in the early rounds. The one game I really enjoyed was King v West. Very tense match with King winning through. He was so emotional and it showed in his post match interview. He could barely talk and looked utterly shell shocked.

I had Cadby at 200/1 really thought he would go far, looks a great talent mind. Great to see The Flash in the commentary team! Yes going on the 27th evening session.

Big Red Rich Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 We've had to move to before Xmas due to a mates wedding so we're going Friday night. Gary & Ady playing so shouldn't be too shabby... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree MR, this afternoon was great as was the afternoon of the 23rd. Luck of the draw, imagine having tickets for one of the finals where former MBE Taylor whitewashed the likes of Manley et al, totally boring!

Guest Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Barney v Lewis tonight, first heavyweight clash of the tournament. Depends which Barney turns up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Was there last night and Reyes if he had took his chances could of beat MVG. It seemed to get competitive after MVG hit 180 and left double 2 and didn't check out. After that crowd started backing Reyes and by the end 80% of crowd were booing MVG 180s, for they wanted a 7th set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Anderson won £300,000 himself in pdc final!! sure bbc getting rid or not renewing bdo darts for next year, I take it bt sports will take it as already showing highlights this year. Maybe they can take it on to a better level. bdo should also re schedule there world championship as it shows it to be at its worse straight after pdc championship where the darts are at a whole different level! Some bloke in the preliminary round won his game with a 62.5 3 dart average!! Almost won't to get my darts back out! Both Syd and our mutual gas mate Wayner got to within 1/2 games of the Lakeside, agree that it isn't a patch on the PDC. But I still have a soft spot for it...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted December 29, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Taylor had enough composure, just, to do it. Had a 117 average in one set, the top players are all hitting good averages going into the quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
