Cowden til i die Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ive said it before and i will say it again Wade must be the worst counter on the circuit. He stuggles with anything out of the norm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Wade showing signs of taking control ... he's won five in a row to go 6-3 up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies_Apprentice Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ive said it before and i will say it again Wade must be the worst counter on the circuit. He stuggles with anything out of the norm. I assume you didn't see Steve Brown the other night? Maybe he was nervous too, but he was awful at the old counting game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Wade takes out D2 and goes 10-5 up. It's Wade's to lose from here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Wade wins it 13-10, though he had to hold off a mini revival from VdV before securing victory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies_Apprentice Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 The bull is taking an absolute hammering this week. Very few times have people missed it on checkouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 121 and 156 checkouts from Tabern early on but he's 3-2 down at the break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 11-4 Barney and he is cruising towards the last eight. Tabern has played very well, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyblair Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Does anybody know why the numbers on a darts board are set out in the order that they are? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I've always just been under the assumption that whoever came up with darts was on a massive acid trip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I've always just been under the assumption that whoever came up with darts was on a massive acid trip. Yep, and the guy on that acid trip was some bloke called Brian Gamlin... In 1896, a carpenter from Lancashire in England, by the name of Brian Gamlin, invented the dartboard numbering layout of today.This numbering system of the modern day dartboards, has the number 20 on top, followed by the number 1 in a clockwise direction, then the number 18 etc. Brian Gamlins numbering sequence layout, was specifically created with the intention to penalize inaccuracy. Although many papers were written about the billions of different dartboard numbering sequences that could be devised with 20 numbers, it is widely accepted, that Brian Gamlins numbering sequence layout, is the closest to perfect randomness you will ever find. (Brian Gamlin died in 1903 before he could patent his idea) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyblair Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yep, and the guy on that acid trip was some bloke called Brian Gamlin... Cheers for that, I had assumed it was to penalise crap players going for high numbers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F_T_Y Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Tonights games Anderson v Klaasen -Match of the night no doubt.Dont know why its the first game.Anderson was good on his doubles against the thorn,maybe because he was under no pressure.Klaasen was superb against king so its a hard one to call. Painter v Walsh - f**k knows how painter is still in the tournament but this one will go to extra legs i think.Another special walk on form walshie maybe ?? Beaton v Taylor - Routine taylor win and sid waddell having a stroke over some tournament average no one gives a f**k about.beaton will get 5 legs tops Whitlock v Brown - The wizard should have enough class to see him through this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to Anderson vs Klaasen big time tonight ... Sid Waddell and Stuart Pyke are doing it so at least it means we won't have any Stoke references from Sidney in this one. Rooting for Kev Painter in the 2nd match ... he's never reached the heights of his superb run to the 2004 World Final but is still capable of putting in good performances on the TV. The last two matches should be fairly routine with both Taylor and Whitlock in fine form so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Klaasen Walsh Taylor Whitlock The first match is potentially one of the matches of the tournament. Hopefully Klaasen plays as he did in the first round and Anderson doesn't freeze on the big stage. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I'm able to watch the night of darts. Still think it's gonna be Anderson, Painter, Taylor and Whitlock tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well, that was a good leg. 1-0 Anderson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 There goes Harrington again praising Painter, this time taking him as an example of being able to checkout. What does he see in him that I am so obviously missing? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Even in these early stages Anderson is already drifting into the 1's. He'll need to sort that out very soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
