Not sure what direction you're coming from here. Its would be pretty despicable for Wade to say he had Bi Polar just so he could take the med's IF he thought he was getting something from them......OR......its really bad sportsmanship from the others to question somebody's mental illness.


Follow up to earlier - Barry Hearn said Wade's medication is not on the IOC banned list so therefore nobody can say anything. He doesn't see an issue but invited Wade to make a complaint(if he felt the need) about whoever else is involved.

I'm coming from the POV of the latter argument. There is no doubt Wade has benefited from using the drugs but the only benefit in my eyes is to his mental health and day to day living. If the other players have questioned the benefit of the drugs on stage then it just shows that they will bring up any argument to try and gain an advantage. There seems to be a lot of niggle creeping in recently.

Yeah it can be quite petty at times but I suppose when theres such huge amounts of prize money available some people's sense goes out the window to be replaced by greed

If you have a headache you mightn't throw as well, so is taking a paracetemol to get rid of it performance enhancing? In effect it is. If Wade's condition is legitimate and the drugs aren't on any banned list then other players have no argument. They sound like petty arguments to me. They'll be giving out about him wearing glasses next.

Yup and hot chocolate is a PED but only if used the night before a match to aid having a sound nights sleep

Im quite interested in the whole PEDs through few different sports but the IOC(International Olympic Committee/council) obviously do vigorous testing and have cleared Wade's medication, which was probably done some time ago before he maybe played competitively.

marklazarcovic

well its certainly narrowed it down as to who has been saying it given that he stated it was just his premier league opponents

livepdc is £25 annually. I had it for a few years and I consider it worth the money. It will get you access to live tournaments(also whats on sky) and it will get you priority access for tickets(my reason for signing up) which is really good.

Thanks Devastator for advice.

Just signed up for a month for £3 pounds very happy so far quality is OK.
For some reason not letting me watch in high quality my broadband is around 14mb.

Commentary is very funny compared to sky so that's an extra bonus

No worries, £3 is a good deal. I think (at the time)to qualify for priority tickets you had to be annual member. I do remember the quality of the stream used to switch from perfect(better/clearer than my tv!) to a pretty ordinary looking sports stream and it would flicker back n forth.

I've watched a few games here & there, the commentary is definitely less dramatic than sly's hype train

yeah was good game, Willie was 3-1 up after 2 12 dart legs against the throw

If you mean all the darts shown on sky then no(technically ), plus more like the german masters currently on.

For the likes of me in the UK (:rolleyes:) I can not officially access it but if someone logged in through a vpn then it gives all sky matches also

Taylor must be bored shítless talking about his early background at this stage. Not an intervew goes by where he doesn't talk about how poor his family were and how Bristow sponsored him at the beginning and the 'myth' about if he was ever paid back or not.

That Monty Python sketch 'four yorkshire men' could have been written by him "Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah"

Tnx for posting the link.

What a load of bollocks, reading that you'd think he'd be next in line for canonisation!! Did his PR agent write that piece.

Cant stand Lewis Even though Wade's got the better head2head record(about 65-70%) he didn't look close to getting anything from that match, even though Lewis wasn't great either. I suppose its a lot better than the 6-0 defeat at the German masters!

marklazarcovic

this could be a gud un

Anderson was f**king sh*te! Screwed 2 bets, fair play to Chizzy he played well enough but Anderson was grim by his own standards


Taylor sucked there like last week. Barney professional enough job to win comfortably.

Wades missus has just tweeted that he has pulled out of this weekends tournament and is not well mentally. Looks like the complaints about his meds have got to him.

Yeah he tweeted that himself shortly before her too. I like him, its good to see him back in the premier league and he's had a good season considering he's just back into it. I think they said during the game he had been ill recently so maybe just needs a few days rest

ComfortKid

Wrong place to post this but don't know where else to say it. Yesterday at the players championship in Barnsley Kyle Anderson hit the highest ever recorded average on the PDC. He beat Terry Jenkins 6-1 with three 10 darters, an 11,12 and 15 darter. The leg he lost he was on 46 after 9 darts. An average of 134.84. This guy is ranked 47th in the world and is capable of this. The standard is ridiculous!

Devastator

Thats a phenomenal standard by Kyle :eek:

Incase anyone didn't know Lewis beat Dolan 6-5 in yesterdays final :mad:

While we're talking about him....just in addition this came up on fb about Anderson a little while ago

Kyle "The Original" Anderson

Another top PDC star competing at this years Winmau Belfast City Open to add to an already exceptional line-up, Kyle Anderson hit a phenomenal 134.84 average this weekend at the PDC pro tour in Barnsley.

Gramar is probably right considering the above statement was in response to an article in 1 of yesterdays redtop rag's which have been notorious for printing lies previously and hacking celeb phone calls.

I wouldn't wipe my arse with that rag nevermind read it so don't know what was supposed to be in it. I tried to find some info last night but there was nothing online unless you sign upto the scum
