Looks like GdV well on his way he's guaranteed 17 ranking points and one more victory could see him in the top 24.

Gino Vos gained hid PDC tour card thanks to the number of ranking points he gained over the weekend.

Peter Manley, Colin Monk, Andy Fordham and Chris Mason were among those who failed to gain a tour card.

Which drug addled Dutchman came up with the format for the World Cup of Darts?



What was wrong with having the same format as the Davis Cup - two singles, a doubles, then the reverse singles?

As it was you could win three matches out of five and still get beat in a sudden death shootout - ludicrous!

Must admit it does seem a bizzare arrangement.Having said that the final had me on the edge of my seat at the end.
Lewis is so unpredictable,wacking in big finishes one minute,scoring 41 the next.At least it added to the tension.

Lewis and Nickleson having words at the end of the sudden death leg. Both telling each other to F**k off .

I agree with Lewis.

Crazy isn't it, must admit I didn't think of it like that until you pointed it out. Is it fair that the doubles games are worth 2 points? I know there's two players playing but it's still one game. I think we'll see an amendment the format before next year's tournament, it's still new and still far from being perfect. I do think the straight knock is a better format than groups though.



Do you know what they were arguing about then? because I'd love to know.

Just can't stand Lewis at times, mainly during his interviews when he feels the need to big himself up. After the final where he was saying 'I showed bottle tonight' everyone seen it lad, you don't need to tell us anything. He done it after the World Championship semi too, telling us how much bottle he had and he was the best player in the world all the time.

Apparently , It was over Nicholson's refusal to sign the Dart Board at the end of the game .

Ah, good on him. Taylor's little party trick he now does when he wins, he's not wanting to sign the board after he loses though.

Taylor v Lewis was an amazing match.

That had to be the best premier league match ever,Taylor averaging 106 and 5 legs down,Lewis with a 100% check out rate. Awesome,when Taylor really clicked it was sheer poetry and just shows why he's still the number one,9000 packed into the MEN and electric atmosphere.

It was,and yet we still got ignorant booing from some cretins in the crowd.Like a player or not I cannot understand why people do this.

Don`t know what they were arguing about t.b.h.,Nicholson to me is an argumentative s.o.b. who seems to like to stir it.Just my opinion of course.
As for Lewis,what else can he say? They all big themselves up.

Probably because it is a PDC crowd.

I have to admit its the nature of the beast,in large crowds you get all types,but to boo players who are up there to entertain,I still can`t figure it.For instance why does King have to go through the mill? Lewis is an exciting player to watch in my opinion,and I am sure Taylor didn`t need the help of the crowds booing to see him through.I know I am going on a bit,but it is a pet hate of mine.

It's spoilt it for me , Total disrespect to the players imo.

Theres only one Phil Taylor!

Great nine darter!!

That was Painter`s fault,he was swaggering about when he went in front.

It's the drunken idiots you get in a large crowd. You think any of these people that boo are true PDC fans? I wouldn't class them as such, I've been too and continue to go to two or three tournaments a year and where we sit we never, ever get any of this around us. It all comes from the idiots at the back or tiers who get too pi$$ed.









That'll teach him to race into a lead against Taylor.

RIP Jocky

Class player for many years.

Indeed Karlos me old mucker!
I loved Jocky. Even p/ssed out of his skull in the days when you could sup on stage he was sensational.
His last dart was always a thrutch, a jerky pull, nevertheless he was a tremendous.
Sober, he would have been dynamite, or perhaps a bag of nerves instead.
I just loved watching him and his toothless grin.
RIP A legend.

Sad news about Jocky. Just hope that's Dexys will re-release their biographical single as a tribute to the wee feller

A great player. RIP Jocky Wilson.

A bit of a shame the likes of Jocky and Bristow were past their best by the time of the great split as they did more than most to get the likes of Harrington, Taylor and Priestley the chance to make big bucks out of the game and although they might have had to take a more professional attitude to the sport but boy would it have been good to see their likes in the Premier League environment (and Leighton Rees) if only they could and some of the current crop could have all been at the top of their game at the same time it would really be Darting Eutopia.

We are unlikely to see his like again and I guess we should be grateful that we enjoyed flawed geniuses such as Jocky and Alex Higgins as all future "bad boys" will be nothing in comparison.
