Premier League picks imminent then

they're not doing them tonight for some reason.

personally I think that's a good thing. the world championship final should be about the world champion

Not doing as thinking about money.

It will all be about the venues.

They will leave it until they know what’s happening with the Covid situation

I'd feel particularly sad for Smith if he wasn't a manc.

Well done to Wright, a very likeable character.

Yeah, forgot about that. I guess they're waiting to see what rules will be like in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

True but Holland and Scotland are problem.

The look on Smith's face when Wright hit that 81 finish (15,16, Bull) when 6-5 to Wright. He knew he'd lost it then. Wright was superb those last couple of sets.

Smiths scoring in the middle sets was phenominal, but as soon as he lost the 180, he seemed to lose the game. Too many scores of 57 etc

Completely new format for the Premier League this year. Only 8 players with quarters, semis and a final on each night.

No. She's got one more day, but looks very unlikely.

Joe Cullen absolutely on fire here.

What the fuck has price done to his hair?!??

sinnermichael · « **Reply #17895 on:** January 30, 2022, 09:05:20 pm »

Chisnall vs Cullen then. Gonna be a first time major winner either way.

Well done Cullen. Tension showed in the end for both players.

The World Seniors Dart Championship also starts tonight and runs through to Sunday. It's on BT Sport and BBC I-Player.

The first round games are below and the likes of Phil Taylor, Martin Adams, John Lowe and John Part enter from round two which starts on Friday night. I'm not sure what the quality of darts will be like but it will definitely be interesting to see some of the big names of the past competing.

Thursday’s schedule (1900-2300 GMT)

Robert Thornton (Sco) v Bob Anderson (Eng)
Peter Manley (Eng) v Deta Hedman (Jam)
Tony O'Shea (Eng) v Kevin Painter (Eng)
Daryl Fitton (Eng) v Richie Howson (Eng)

Friday’s schedule (1300-1700 GMT)

Les Wallace (Sco) v John Walton (Eng)
Paul Lim (Sin) v Dave Prins (Eng)
Alan Warriner-Little (Eng) v Larry Butler (US)
Terry Jenkins (Eng) v Roland Scholten (Ned)

Like this format change. Makes each week feel important.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #17903 on:** February 3, 2022, 06:48:34 pm »

the format change, although welcome in a way, will lead to even more of the same games every week.

Darts has a reputation as being slightly less vigorous exercise then some of its cousins.

Is Clayton a red? Is that the Hillsborough flame on the back of his collar?

Worked well for him tonight. Breezed past Clayton in the final

Nitramdorf · « **Reply #17908 on:** February 3, 2022, 10:59:41 pm »

World Senior Championship is on iplayer at the moment.

Bob Anderson lost to Robert Thornton, Peter Manley and Kevin Painter won. Manley has to play Taylor next.

John Lowe, Deller and Les Wallace are in it tomorrow.

Then said he thought he played shite despite hitting a 113 average.

I like Peter Wright but he is one of the worst for this. There is no way he's playing shite while averaging 113. it really annoys me with my 40 average playing in the pub

Yeah, it's been great to watch some of the old timers - back at the Circus Tavern too!

I remember when the World Champs was held there, probably the best atmosphere I've ever heard. Brings back good memories. I understand why the PDC moved to Ally Pally (money, bigger venue etc.), but the atmosphere has turned to shite since.

Thornton looked in good form.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #17912 on:** February 4, 2022, 01:25:26 pm »

the problem with the seniors is that once you get over the initial novelty a best of 5 set game can go on a bit.

different score graphic today, including averages. could be dangerous

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #17913 on:** February 4, 2022, 11:55:45 pm »

I was flicking channels and saw the senior darts walk ons. I'd feel claustrophobic there. People far too close.

Price with a 9 darter.

Ridiculous from Price tonight. Wade was fantastic but was always just trying to keep up. Great final though, this new format is much better

sinnermichael · « **Reply #17918 on:** February 17, 2022, 10:39:39 pm »

I'm sure 95% of all 9 darters ever have been against James Wade.

Agree with this, moving the World Championship there made darts accessible to a lot of people who wasn't really interested in it. No comparison to that and the Circus Tavern.
