Corky Posted 10 January 2013 Posted 10 January 2013 Can't get into the BDO, scoring is much lower and the atmosphere non-existant. Possibly we are spoilt by the PDC and Sky.

kingfox Posted 11 January 2013 Author Posted 11 January 2013 Anybody watching the BDO worlds? I've missed alot of it. Good match on now Fitton v Harms. Fitton's one of the few I've seen who throws similar to my style. I aim with the top of the flight and have the point facing directly down. Can't get into the BDO, scoring is much lower and the atmosphere non-existant. Possibly we are spoilt by the PDC and Sky. Just don't go there guys, PDC is much better than the BDO, BDO have a couple of good players, but most of them average in the 80's all the time. Think the highest average in the first round was 91 by two players, yet Barney hit 108 and a couple got high 90's in the PDC World Championships.

I agree the PDC is like the CL and the BDO is just the Europa League...

I do agree, but i like it because most of the games are a lot more even and usually anybody can win the tournament. still waites for me though
BoneDog Posted 13 January 2013 Posted 13 January 2013 That drawing someone in the crowd had done of O'Shea! Looked more like a cross between Alan Carr and Jack Duckworth Edit : Some of these arrows are way off target!
martyn Posted 13 January 2013 Posted 13 January 2013 Standard here has been atrocious. O Shea necking a Budweiser at the interval as well
AKCJ Posted 13 January 2013 Posted 13 January 2013 Watching the likes of Wade, Van Gerwen, Taylor and Barney a week before this started just shows you how lower the standard is.
Mack Posted 13 January 2013 Posted 13 January 2013 The BDO is still living in 1986, just without the decent players.
BoneDog Posted 13 January 2013 Posted 13 January 2013 Yeah alot of the PDC players are ridiculously good, but I do still enjoy the BDO when I watch it. I used to say the quality was similar, but after having Sky Sports for a few years now, I was way off. Can't see how the BDO will ever get back the glory days now, what with all the money in the PDC. O'Shea was way off his best tonight.
Corky Posted 13 January 2013 Posted 13 January 2013 Bobby George's son was playing the other day. His Dad could still compete and possibly win this.
kingfox Posted 13 January 2013 Author Posted 13 January 2013 Didn't watch it, but my Dad told me the result. Piss poor final by the looks of it, O'Shea only 81 average, Waites even 86. Rubbish standard, if I practice hard enough I will be on there within a few years. 14 180's I have got, in about two years, knuckling down though, and playing every day now, and found a throwing action I am comfortable with which is all good.
