For someone who have no idea about darts more than I know you have to go downwards from 501 to win a leg (and finish with a double score), what is the difference between PDC and BDO?

They're 2 different organisations but are run very differently. The game format is the same but the PDC has a lot more prize money, more tournaments, more TV coverage, higher skilled players.

Seeds are dropping like flies!

Lot of these players are living on past glories and being found out here. Wade, Lewis and Huybrechts have been rank this season

Whoever is operating the camera is annoying, keeps moving off the players.

Just missed Gary throwing the first 2 darts.

el_dazza · 22 Dec 2017 at 21:23

Paul Lim just missed D12 for a 9 darter!

No one is beating MVG if he plays like that every game.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a whitewash like that. 12 legs on the spin. Scary stuff.

Justin pipe is annoying to watch, he’s so slow, just sucks any pace out the game.

Also a cheat. No way that cough from Pigeon neck wasn't deliberate. It was a one off cough, it could easily be suppressed until the other fellow had finished his throw. Be good to see if he gets any stick tonight. Probably hear a fair few comedy coughs from the audience when he throws

Phil's a slow player too so their match could be torturous. Might watch the Leicester V Utd game instead.

McBain · 23 Dec 2017 at 20:36

Eurgh, not sure I can handle watching Justin Pipe Vs Taylor.

Pipe being painful to watch and Taylor is just a ****.

robfosters · 23 Dec 2017 at 20:41

That Gurney match was a turn up. Didn't expect Rockin' John to win that one.

Pipe getting stick already lol

Captain · 23 Dec 2017 at 20:54

Tough crowd, booing every dart pipe throws

robfosters · 23 Dec 2017 at 20:58

Pipe acting like a **** again lol! Winding Phil right up ha ha.

Captain · 23 Dec 2017 at 21:00

I notice sky now turn the sound down when the crowd are swearing, noticed it on the football too.

Good interview from Phil. Get the feeling it's really starting to sink in for him now that the end is fast approaching.

robfosters · 23 Dec 2017 at 22:56

Laura the darts interviewer is absolutely gorgeous. I love her.

Probably got 2 games left, he'll beat Keegan Brown but Anderson is a different kettle of fish.

Brown, Anderson, Wright, MVG you'd imagine is his path to the title, he ain't winning all those.

Yeah, wont beat Wright either. I actually hope he gets through to face MVG in the final. It would be an epic passing of the torch and one of the most memorable moments in darts history,

You know we still might see him in the premier league though. He could be called in as a wildcard if he fancied it.

Psycho Ned · 24 Dec 2017 at 00:28

I keep saying until I don't see him in week one of the premier league I don't believe he's packing the game up!

It's looking a bit short of top talent this year to be honest so wouldn't be surprised if Barry Hearn had asked him if he fancied it. Hard to pick 10 genuine competitive players without him (MVG, Wright, Anderson, Gurney, Sujlovic, Barney, Cross are the easy 7 but then who? You're picking Lewis, Wade or Chisnall on past reputation, Whitlock maybe as he has had a good year, Smith, Price?? To be honest they're not proven top draw talent)
