Watched this last night - great BBC doc on darts (mentioned on here somewhere last week)

Amazing to see the huge crowds at the News of the World at Ally Pally in the 70's
Also the popularity of the game in the 1930's
And the story behind the Bristow-Taylor relationship

well worth a watch if u haven't seen it

Ian White showing some decent form recently, just beat MGV in the German Open quarters 6-2, plays Smith in the semi.

Max Hoop through as well. Good to see Price has found his form again

Cadby continuing his good form from the UK Open.

Won 3 DPA tour events over the weekend in Oz, throwing a 9 darter in the process

Surprised he is allowed to compete over there as well as the UK in the same season. Can't wait to see him back here. Has he qualified for the matchplay?

He needed to pay for his wedding

Think he's qualified as he's in the top 10 in matchplay rankings

Natural causes probably the easiest:p

Steve Lennon whitewashed rowby John there a while ago. Really hope he keeps developing the way he is. Played against him in an open last year and it's scary how good he is.

I see another d12 missed for a 9 darter, this time Dimitri van den Bergh in the Austrian Open last night

ArmaniJeanss

Its actually weird how often D12 is missed for a 9.
I understand there's pressure there, but the top players seem to be running at about 5%* hitting it when normally they are about 35% on doubles.

I've no exact figures here, just observational.

Wade knocks out Wright. First time in 50 tournaments that no Dutchman will be in the final day

Ultimate Seduction

Excellent!! Gyrwen price knocks out rob cross and goes through to the semi final. Hope he can win it now

Ultimate Seduction

Suljović started every leg with a 2 or 3 treble visit beating Gurney 6-1. His 1st 3 3DA in those 7 legs was 146.86. He was on a finish after 9 darts in 6 out of 7 legs. The other he was on 177. 1st 9 3DA was 126.10.

Suljović on fire in front of his home crowd, almost literally cos the sweat is rolling off him in bucket loads

Some atmosphere there for the Suljovic matches, surely he'll win if he keeps it together!

Bob Harris

Jonny Clayton and Gerwyn Price in the final. Guaranteed first Welsh winner of a Euro tour event.

Bob Harris

Jonny wins 8-5. Good quality entertaining final and Jonny goes home 25k richer.

Ultimate Seduction

Seems everyone price leaves off a roaring fist bump, his next throw is muck, maybe he should calm down abit.

He was roaring like an ass after a few 180's in the final.

On the odd occasion I manage a decent finish in a tight match I slap my hands together and inevitably throw **** the next leg with my hand still tingling/stinging.

Good win for Jonny, needs to get himself a new nickname though

Ultimate Seduction

Qualifies Jonny for all the majors this year now good chance to get up the rankings

FineAle

Delighted for Clayton, seems like a humble bloke. Price needs to cool the jets, his 180 punches are cringe.

I think price does it to jee himself up.. Just to keep him motivated during games..

I would agree if it wasn't after every 180.
