Darts

Has anyone seen Wade yesterday night? Fuckin embarrassing...

I love the Darts, i've been glued to the the TV all week.

Another shock today when Andy "Pieman" Smith beat Mervyn King.

The Anderson/Preistly match was the best i've seen this year

I´ll try to see as much matches as I can now because Roland Scholten is co-commentator for German TV.
Have you seen Suljovic? Quite impressive so far, will he have a chance against Wes Newton?

Watched it earlier, couldnt believe it when John Gwynne said that Priestly is now 60!!! To be competing so well at that level, at that age is phenomenal.

Gary Anderson could very well win it. The crowd seem to give him an awful time, they did so in Dublin too there in October at the Grand Prix when i was there. Not sure why, he seems a fairly level headed down-to-earth bloke.

He the commentator whos on soccer saturday and always sounds ridiculously enthusiastic over something as little as a throw in or a substitution?

Yeh, he's some character though. As is Sid Waddell.

A classic quote from Waddell:

"The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in, with a portion of chips...you could hear the vinegar sizzle on them"

I saw Suljovic beat Wade last night, though I suspect Wade was getting a little irritated by his antics every time he won a set.
Fair play to the bloke though, for a fella who reminds you of Mr Bean his wife's gorgeous.

As for John Gwynne, fuck me this makes me sound old but I remember him reporting on football matches on local Manchester radio in the 80;s, cracking bloke, as is Sid.

Strange thought about the Darts, Bristow is sat in the studio age 53. Dennis the Menace is 60.. so why the hell did Eric retire so early?

Not sure about Bristow, maybe the social life took centre stage

Another thing,Rod Harrington is a sound bloke and all, but as a commentator he is an absolute wanker. He's doing my fucking head in.

Mardle is doing my head in tonight!

Lewis made it in the end. Amazing match yesterday
Shame how the audience barracked when Taylor did not hand over the cup...

amazing final.
I didnt really care which one of them won it, just nice to see a new name on the trophy and after the 9 darter I guess Lewis deserved it
