  • The Premier League line-up for 2019 has been announced:

    Top four rankings
    MVG
    Cross
    Wright
    Anderson

    PDC picks
    Gurney
    Price
    Wade
    M Smith

    Sky picks
    Suljovic
    RVB

    All kicks off in Newcastle on Thursday 7th Feb and includes trips to Berlin and consecutive nights in Rotterdam. Finals night is at the O2 on 23rd May.

    I would not have picked James Wade, I hope he loses every game
    Would've liked to have seen Chizzy or even Lewis over Wade but i guess Wade is above them both in the order of merit so can't really complain
    Dave Chisnall's sparkling personality and wit should have seen him in.
  • Exact same line up bar Wade for Whitlock isn't it? Pretty formality, i wouldn't really pick Sulijovic as he isn't the most pleasing on the eye but he is bearable.

    RVB great choice still, shame they couldn't have thrown Phil in, still doesn't feel the same to me. Some good new players coming through Humphries/ Aspinell, nice to see Smith is started to show his talent. Shame the final was a bit one sided and took Smith a few sets to get out the blocks due to nerves/ chances a bit of both. MVG doesn't seem untouchable these days, hopefully Cross can get more consistency back.
  • Both played their B game in the final. The problem is Smith needed his A game.

    Watching the BDO
    Scott Waites is scoring so well but he has 6 out of 36 on doubles
  • Only in the Bdo. Bloke with a broken leg playing darts

    Why do sports allow Quest to purchase rights

    Just like when they have snooker there is no evening session for the darts.

    When BBC had coverage of the BDO they had the evening session as well.
  • Perhaps they think we have suffered enough?

    Looks like the main deal is with Eurosport:

    Lakeside coverage has been split for a number of years - BBC, and then C4, showed the afternoon session and then BT Sport had the evening session (assuming the afternoon matches hadn't over-run because each leg was being won in a minimum of 45 darts :wink: ). BBC would then have late-night highlights of the session they didn't show (can't remember what C4 did).
  • Half saw was on Eurosport, couldn't watch it just the whole thing seems very mundane. Not my cup of tea and its like a 2nd/3rd tier compared to PDC
  • The woman doing the interviews after matches at the BDO darts is the worst interviewer I've ever seen.

    The person in charge of cameras is crap.
    The commentators continually go off topic, going as far to comment how the crowd are far superior to that who attend the Ally Pally.
    In one leg they discussed crowd participation in snooker and whether there should be silence. Not a single word on the game until suddenly mid sentence "single sixteen leaves double top".

  • Great match though durrant v williams
  • Durrant beats Williams 6-3.

    That was a good game.

    Duzza against Scott Waites in the final should be an enjoyable match.
  • That Durrant v Williama match was fantastic and could easily have been on the PDC, just look at 180s

    PDC World Championship Final 27 180s in 10 sets
    Durrant v Williams 24 180s in 9 sets

    Currant has entered q school so could be in the PDC by the end of the month
  • Most of the BDO boys will go to Q school this week as they've got nothing to lose. The BDO have relaxed their rules & said anyone who doesn't quality through Q school can come straight back to the BDO

    A fair few of the recent champs are also no longer contracted to return their prize money if they make the switch.

    The first question for Mikuru Suzuki (which was translated to Japanese) after the final:

    "You were dominant today."
  • Georgie Bingham of Talksport fame. Awful.

    She's raised her game for the Final then.

    Gone downhill since her Sky Sports News days.
