Been watching the darts over the last couple of days , I think in all fairness the players are suffering from first round jitters , But have you noticed how many darts have just fallen out of the board ?

I noticed a lot of bounce outs and was same last year when they first used the Blade 4, maybe they are just too hard out the box, I wonder if thats why Ros montgomery has got spring loaded points this year

It will be interesting to see if the situation improves as the tournament goes on , Those BLADES are hard when new , Well the one i played on a few weeks back was anyway .

I do think thats the cause though.

So who do you fancy for the final ? Personally i think Waites v Adams , and a victory for waites

Want to see O'Shea in the Final, couldn't care less about Adams TBH. O'Shea for the championship for me!!!

Hes certainly one of the good guys , Seems to have been around forever , welcome to the forum Danny

or Waites I like him too

Would like to see one of Waites, Winstanley, Kong or O'Shea win it - well anyone apart from Adams really lol. Adams is a good player but I just don't like him lol.

As for the darts falling out, I think it's great when they fall down the gap and they have to hold up play to retrieve them. The organisation is bad and the tv coverage is bad - I feel really sorry for the players.

One thing with new Blades, if you get lots of fallouts from them just scuff the dart points and they should then stay in - mine did. Liked the board at first but went off it after a couple of months lol.

Can't believe it, got the darts on at the moment and Tony West has done as well as Barney - he has lost a dart in his suitcase and is using a set he has borrowed off of Tony Martin (Anastasia's lucky other half)

how can they lose their tools!!!

Don't know how he did it but serves him right - he just got knocked out lol

a players darts should be precious to them really

Did see the guy Jenkins other day searching fir a dart which bounced out of the board

and with the help of the announcer he found it ok

yeah I think I seen that, and he lost track of score

Aye thats right

Adaws V O Shea ,,,,, What do you think ?

My opinion Mr Adams will be going home , Close game but i think O shea will come out the winner

I hope so!

Still never seen or heard the score but id prefer O'Shea winning for we need someone else

winning the tournament as gets booring same player winning ..Who did win ?

o shea plays Adams tomorrow mate

am gutted Kong out

hes gotta do better tho , Hes a damn good player on his day , That wasnt his day !

Had a match tonight - gutted I missed the Hankey/Waites match - wallies down the pub wanted Sky Sports on instead and wouldn't change it over

WHAT !!!! Hankey was the victor i think , Shame in a way , i would have like to have seen waites go further ! Whos your pick for the final then ??

I thought the winner would come from the Waites/Hankey match so I'm going with Hankey to pick up no 3 - and then I reckon he will do a hasty exit from the BDO over to the PDC.

But that said do you think Hankey has got the game to cross over with ? Never ming the rather outspoken crowds over there , His temperament seems to let him down at times .

If either Hankey, Waites or Winstanley crossed over then I've no doubt they would make the top 20 within a year. They wouldn't get top 4 as that's basically sorted for the next couple of years, but after them then it's pretty much even down to no 20 or so.

Waites and Winstanley i have no doubts about,,, Hankey would as you say probably get into the top 20 but i feel he would be at the wrong end , just my thoughts
