The Naitch Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 That was easy enough for Phil ... Barney will need to get his head together if he's to even make the play-offs at this rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 What's this O'Sullivan patter with Taylor? Clearly he's the best darts player ever but he's a total dick. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Barney isn't even playing the circuit I don't know how he is going to get to a level that is going to be good enough to have any sort of impression on the PL or any other major for that matter. He keeps changing his darts which isn't a good sign and points towards a man in complete disarray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not nice to watch as he was the main man that got me interested in darts with that final victory over Taylor. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 If he's sick of it then he should pack it in or at least take a sustained break from the game. I'm sick of watching his head going down as soon as the opponent goes in front. Even at 2-0 up his body language was shocking and like you say he just looks completely out of love with the game and has done for a long period of time now. His plight from greatness just makes me respect Taylor even more as he has been at the top of the ladder for 20 years now and still looks like he has the appetite and love for the game to go another 20. I dislike Taylor the person but as a sportsman he is a god amongst men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozam76 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) I saw bits and bobs of the darts the other night - dunno if I was imagining it, but I'm sure there was a, for want of a better phrase, "stage invasion" during the Van Barneveld-Taylor match. Dunno if it's something seen regularly now or not, but I'd imagine it'll become more and more commonplace what with the dregs of society that Hearn seems to want through the door. It is a waste of time the match referee saying best of order, because it almost never happens. Edited March 6, 2010 by mozam76 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 John Part having a good afternoon, by his recent standards - into the Third Round having beaten Andy Callaby (who once beat Taylor on the telly) and Jelle Klaasen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 BIG VINNY~~~!!! :D Co Stompe has had a good last few tournaments and Jamie Caven is solid as a rock so far. Richie Burnett and Darren Johnson have been getting to more last 16s these days too. Interesting times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's his third last 16 spot this year so far - good to see the Prince of Wales getting some form together. With any luck we'll see him at a couple of the majors later in the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he did beat Jelle Klaasen in the 2nd round. As for Ovens, he didn't travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I suspected as much when he didn't feature in the latter stages. Taylor, Barney and Terry Jenkins were the other big names not to travel. Denis Ovens would have ripped that field apart had he went over to Germany. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Ovens has been solid as a rock this year. He seemed to be losing his way a bit on the floor at times last year, but a couple of good major performances seem to have gotten the confidence up. If that guy could play for a lengthy match he'd be a real real danger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
