I was meant to post this up before the tournament began. I haven't had a chance to see that much of it yet but who do people think will win. Obviously Taylor can't be discounted in the form he's in but I don't think it's a done deal. Part can come along and put in a cracking performance out of the blue at times and while Barney isn't in form, I have a feeling he's going to come back with a vengeance at some point.
Apparently Mardle vs Dobromyslova was a cracker yesterday!

Hold on mate - there's some grass still growing outside that I haven't finished watching yet.

Now, Now Lochsong there's no need for that  Darts could yet be in the 2012 Olympics! Especially now the campaign has got one of the greatest ever Briish Olympians(Steve Backley) on its side

It's on ITV4 if you can get that in Ireland. I think the PDC are trying to widen their appeal and as only a certain amount of people have Sky Sports, ITV have the rights to this. I'm more of a BDO man myself but watch both

Wow, I've never seen that. Seen a few 10s and 11's. What was the sequence?
3 treble tops, 3 treble tops, treble 18, treble 19 and double 15?
ps - I like darts.

Know one will believe me but I have seen a 9 darter thrown from the right hand on this very keyboard. Wades was top, always gives me goosebumps, Taylor's 9 darter against Mason is the best I've seen.

There are a few ways of doing it though. It has been done a few times but not that often.

Yeah, but did you win any money on it?
I'm no pro, but in my youth I fleeced the local 'expert' one night when I was in the zone.

Can you finish a 9 darter on bull?
I know I've seen a couple excellent low dart finishes on bull. Something a bit special about that.
Good arrows!!!!

You can but I don't think it's ever been done in a professional tournament. Probably in exhibitions

I remember watching that in a golf bar where I happened to be at the time. I was the only person interested in the darts but everyone became interested pretty sharpish 
Nice one on the 9 darter mate! I've never come close but have got a 170 outshot to my name

No money, just the self-satisfaction. Know ones ever believed me un less they've seen me stand at a dartboard for a short while. I still throw but not like I did a few years ago, the nights I spent up till the early morning trying to hit that 3 dart combination finish, learnt that from Phil Taylor, its the best way to improve yourself.

Put a polo on the double 3 and get all 3 darts in without cracking it, that's a trick that improves you as well.
