DomDom Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The ref spoke to the fans several times in that match. I believe this is selective hearing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Love III Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 All credit to Dolan, after struggling to settle into the match he has pushed Taylor, admitedly not playing anywhere near his best, in each of the last 3 sets, winning two of them. He's keeping it competitive. Just checking the projected Order of Merit, Brendan moves to at least 25th, but I'm sad to say that Dennis Priestley has fallen out of the Top 32. He'll find it difficult now to qualify for the World Championship in December. OOM 25-36 25. Brendan Dolan £92,400 26. Steve Beaton £88,000 27. John Part £85,200 28. Steve Brown £80,800 29. Robert Thornton £79,100 30. Peter Wright £78,400 31. Mark Dudbridge £75,300 32. Jelle Klaasen £70,800 33. Dennis Priestley £65,050 34. Barrie Bates £64,900 35. Justin Pipe £62,600 36. Richie Burnett £61,600 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, truly the end of an era if Den doesn't make it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTJ Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) Yet you don't seem to take issue with Terry Jenkins' name being touted. He's exactly as you just described there. How recently have I said that? Based on how he has played the last year Jenkins doesn't deserve to be in it, and to be honest hes had his fun in the PL, a fresh face deserves a chance over him. If you want to compare him to Dolan though, their achievements, even in recent times taking into consideration the emergence of some players has seen Jenkins tumble down the OOM a bit, its not even comparable. The acid test of Dolan will come over the next few months. I'd happily bet hes out in every tv tournament by the second round at the latest.

Marshmallo Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I managed to get Premier League tickets for Glasgow this morning. Going to be my first live darts so looking forward to it already -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 The internet tournament got back underway today. Mark Walsh beat Mervyn King in the final. Baxter and Jones were the bottom two so go out altogether. Tomorrow's group looks like this... Simon Whitlock Colin Lloyd Mervyn King Jamie Caven Van der Voort Andy Smith Colin Osborne Kevin Painter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Whitlock hit a nine darter earlier on today ... all he got for it was the £50 for winning the leg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Steve Beaton won today's Group 7 Final which means there's only one place left in Thursday's Grand Final. It'll be one of these eight guys who gets it... Vincent van der Voort John Part Kevin Painter Alan Tabern Mark Dudbridge Jelle Klaasen (was meant to be Co Stompe instead but he pulled out due to illness) Steve Brown Dennis Priestley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 It's Kevin Painter vs Dennis Priestley in today's final. Den was staring elimination in the face but won his last three matches to sneak into the last play off spot. He beat John Part 6-5 in the semis in order to face Painter. Priestley's health issues are well known and has admitted himself that his stamina isn't nearly as much as it used to be. For him to come back the way he has through the course of the day is nothing short of fantastic. Really hope he finishes the job off and takes his place in tomorrow's Grand Final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Oh aye, job done indeed. Sir Dennis wins the final 6-5! :D 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) So, after eight days of action the final group looks very competitive indeed... Gary Anderson Phil Taylor Paul Nicholson Mark Walsh Mervyn King Simon Whitlock Steve Beaton Dennis Priestley There's a place in the Grand Slam for the finalists of this group tomorrow, if they haven't made it already. Only Mark Walsh and Dennis Priestley can take advantage of this as the other six are already preparing for Wolverhampton.

The Naitch Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 The Grand Slam is just three weeks away and the remaining slots are starting to fill up. 25 have already qualified so there's seven spots left. Two of those go the World Youth finalists, two go to the Wildcard Qualifier finalists and the other three go to the highest non-qualifiers in the PDC, Players' Championship and European order of merits respectively. As it stands Mark Walsh, John Part and Vincent van der Voort qualify through the OOM. Here's the list of who's already there... Gary Anderson Barrie Bates Steve Beaton Dave Chisnall Jan Dekker Brendan Dolan Ted Hankey Terry Jenkins Wayne Jones Mervyn King Adrian Lewis Arron Monk Wes Newton Paul Nicholson Tony O'Shea John Part Martin Phillips Co Stompe Phil Taylor Raymond van Barneveld James Wade Scott Waites Mark Webster Simon Whitlock Dean Winstanley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I see Chris Mason is making a comeback in the new year and will actually play in the GSOD qualifiers so will be interesting to see how he gets on. Seems to have a full team behind him ie. fitness coach, sports physcologist etc. Although Burnett has made a great comeback it's going to be extremely difficult to qualify through Q School initially and then try and make an impression on the tour with so many good players about now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Have the BDO players accepted yet? I remember Hankey said last year he wouldn't come back regardless if he was invited, but I hope he's there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartsplayer1981 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hankey will be there, he only hates the crowd when he is playing poor darts. Should be the best GSOD ever this year, Taylor is out to prove himself, so the rest of the field better watch out. Looking forward to seeing Dave Chisnall again, great scorer when in the groove, but hoping for a Gary Anderson win, he has not been great at GSOD last few years. Finally all the best to Chris Mason, would love to see him back playing on TV again, and I am sure he can do it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Have the BDO players accepted yet? I remember Hankey said last year he wouldn't come back regardless if he was invited, but I hope he's there. Weren't his comments more to do with making the move rather than playing in the GSOD. It wasn't really clear either way. Should be the best GSOD ever this year, Taylor is out to prove himself Why? He doesn't have to. We all know he's the best in the world and is on form. He has NOTHING to prove. To anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Adrian Lewis is doing an appearance at some new pawn shop in the Newington area of Edinburgh tomorrow between 1 and 3. I'd have gone if I wasn't going to the football. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
