GersDude90 1 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 It is a bit dull but until the other players put in the effort to actually get better its gonna be like that for a while longer.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear 157 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Was watching the BDO earlier on and i couldn't believe how bad the standard is, they are throwing 28 darts in some legs! Saying that the dartboard appears to be smaller around the treble and double area, has the PDC increased the standard size to improve averages and a more exiting game to watch?

kevpetrie87 0 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I'd love to see Whitlock win. I like Taylor but it would be good to see someone else win. Can't see it though unless he gets a great start Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lintylassie84 0 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Cmon Whitlock! Taylor is by far the best ... but it'd be great seeing someone else on top for a change. Wizard from Oz ftw! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Didn't expect this to be a whitewash. Whitlock has been playing too well through-out the course of the Championships, and he's carrying it into the final. I want the Power to win, but in a close match - so far, we are getting that!
