Would not right him off too quick Robert Thornton seems to have got his measure but not sure many others have the real belief they can beat him on the big TV stage.

I suppose they didn't say what might be ailing him then ?

Never mind,he can always console himself by looking at his bank statement.

I'm sure your argument would hold more water if Taylor doesn't give a rat's **** about major tournaments and is just in it for the money now.

As I really don't think that's the case, then your statement is a huge pile of horse ****.

,I was being sarcastic.As it happens I am a big Taylor fan.Whether people like him or not it cannot be argued he has brought a big dimension to the game.

I think you meant to say that it cannot be argued that he hasn't brought a big dimension to the game.

Apart from his undoubted talent, the biggest dimension he has brought to the game, apart from his gut, is the size of his head.


He's lovely really ......
I especially like his mock humility when he loses, rare though that may be.

True, but I think folks know what I meant.



Although ,technicaly speaking I could say "Taylor has brought a big dimension to the game." and you couldn`t argue with that,so maybe I was right in the first place.

World Championship draw on now. Nicholson v Stompe the pick so far

King v Winstanley looks a hot tie.

Came back from the tournament at Butlins yeaterday and the standard there was fairly poor and does not bode well for the Worlds.

Great weekend, though the real star was not on the oche and even the Madness tribute band playing after the darts had to cope with JESUS chants between each song

"Stand up if you love the darts"

If those braying morons really loved the darts, they'd deign to give the players a bit of shush when they're throwing. Save it for the breaks, if you absolutely must.

Gutted that Kim Huybrechts lost last night. It won't feel like christmas without gratuitous close-ups of his missus. Ah well, Google image searches will have to do...

wish van gerwin lost god i hate that kid

Don't you like goldfish?

First Scottish world champion since Jockey?
Anderson and Thornton both got chances.

Great 9 darter from Winstanley.

Lowe - 1984 - £102,000

Lim - 1990 - £52,000

Winstanley - Today - £15,000

Much good as it did him (bar the 15 grand)

That's if nobody else hits another 9 darter .

like hitting a 147 in snooker now not worth as much as it did, mind you your class in doing it (or just in that leg anyway)

Sooner watch him than Pipe,at least he gets on with it. (One thing, I can make a brew between Pipes throwing.)

Good tribute to Sid.

You can do more than that whilst waiting for Pipe to throw his darts. No wonder Wes Newton was losing it against him last year.

Staaaaand Aaaap if you Lav the Darts....!




Do any of these pi$$ heads watch any darts ?

No, they are too busy shouting at the people on the tables.
