Darts

Great idea in theory, in practice less so.  Looks like they were using webcams from 20 years ago!

I see that Dave Clark has retired from presenting Darts on Sky after 22 years. He was diagnosed 10 years ago with Parkinsons and has decided to step down but turn his hand to other things including writing about his experiences.

Good luck Dave.

Great presenter. Have a lot of respect and admiration for him when I see him presenting the darts. As mentioned in his interview the doctors said he will only be able to present 1 or 2 more years of darts in TV but 10 years later he is still able to do it!!! Wish him all the best.

Looking forward to the World Matchplay starting on Saturday!! 

I wonder if Sky will put a boo track on for Gerwyn Price, to make him feel like normal 🤣🤣

Quality week of darts
9 darter from Peter Wright last njght
Tonight he misses D12 for a second 9 darter! 

Some mad results this week, MVG losing a few times and playing everyday really hard to call some of it. Durrant seems to be the man to beat at the moment, Anderson should have beat him 7-3 up and drew 7-7. He is good but his natural style is really hard for people to play against (too slow obv) 

I think its on every night from tonight again, i might be wrong but give you something to follow and hard to call.

Play restarts on Wednesday and the league phase finishes on Saturday night.

I've liked the look of Duzza, doesn't seem too fazed if he finds himself three or four legs down and backs himself to come back.

MVG is looking vulnerable at the moment, Anderson, Wright, and Aspinall are playing OK but results are up and down.

Some things don't change though: Gerwyn Price is still a bellend.

Thanks Briston, i wasn't sure when it was restarting i was guessing i should have looked lol 

I like what Duzza says, seems a nice bloke and really living his dream.. but he is a bit slow for me, but clinical and players need to learn to adjust to playing him. He also does hit alot of big outs and at crucial times so people need to find a way to beat him. 

MVG is, but i always think he is too much of a fighter and a winner to keep struggling. It wouldn't surprise me if he hits a bit of form this week, i just cant see him keep struggling. Shame Cross has looked so out of touch recently, hopefully he can come back stronger always followed him a bi. 

All of the players are so good when they hit form it really is hard to call, Anderson played superb for 2 nights then ran into someone (pre duzza), Smith looked ok for a match or 2, Price is a bellend but also looks to have found some form. I think Anderson might be a good bet outright, says he doesn't practice enough normally so playing every night can only help. Still most would say MVG as he hits top gear noone is stopping him, but for a bit of value Ando. 

I thought i would bump this, Darts on ITV4 right now. No snooker to watch, but the players championship. Just had a cracker Dirv Van Dujvenbode William O Connor, both averaged over 100. 6-4 to DVD. Last weeks grandslam on sky 'the special one' won which was incredible De Sousa, some real quality darts of late, no fans but some very good games.  

Smith up next 

Smith wins 6-4 guy he played averaged 108, terrific game TBF. i am off for some lunch so not updating just letting people know if they wanted to watch. Cross next..

I see they are allowing fans into the World Championships next month.
I'll be giving that a swerve for the first time in a long time. 

Are they? Thought it was only outdoor venues allowed crowds 

MVG beat Mervyn King 11-10 in the final, i lost track of it from when i posted unfortunately, half following results. He beat Price 11-8 in the semis

Absolutely gutted not to be going to Ally Pally this year.

Great day out, last year was there Friday and then at Loftus Road on the Saturday. Would love a weekend like that again.
