De Sousa is terrible so far

nowhere the player he was earlier this year when he was chucking some great stuff on his way to 2 floor champs

Heta has played well enough in Australia this year. Durrant should beat him you’d expect in next round handy enough though if he goes through.

yep, neither of them would trouble durrant on this form

So which do people think is the correct way to support/expose womens darts? BDO style with their own concurrent world championship, or to let them try to qualify for the main tournament as the PDC are doing?

I think I prefer the BDO approach myself, and happily watch the matches interspersed between the mens.

Itssoeasy

More booing of the male player like there was on Sunday night. I don’t get it.

krustydoyle

Sherrock is no slouch. She's regularly avg in the 90s over the short BDO format so she has a chance

munster87

Sounds like there will be booing for Evetts

Itssoeasy

Fair play to fallon Sherrock though as whether she says it or not she must be nervous.

MileHighGuy

Yeah, I really hope the crowd don't start with the booing, support your player by all means.

I will be amazed if they don't boo though.

Itssoeasy

I hope that fallon doesn’t get embarrassed and give a good account of herself.

You can see it on her face, she looks really nervous.

Even the way sky are promoting them is slightly unfair imo. They're not asking for that treatment and i imagine it raises the pressure a bit.

And sure it’s completely understandable. She wouldn’t be human If she wasn’t.

Itssoeasy

No need to be cheering a player missing a double.

Ally Dick

Is that Chris Evans lovechild?

Itssoeasy

Well set one to Ted evetts.

Deeper Blue

This booing of anyone that's playing against a woman is the height of ignorance

I actually undermines the moment which is a big moment.

Well I can’t not see it. Damon heta won’t be going further than the next round what I saw earlier.

could you imagine the uproar and backlash if it was the girl getting booed.
comms completely ignoring the booing by the crowd.


I think its great having women in this comp, fair play to them and if they are good enough best of luck to them, but this promo after promo after promo and bias only serves to make most people want her to lose so they wont be subjected to this hype again next round

That can't be unseen now

Itssoeasy

Well the Alexandra palace roof lives to fight another day.

boomdocker

Pretty good game this!

munster87

She’s playing well and improving.

Itssoeasy

Take away all the hype and all that this is a good game of darts.

If they are going to have them in the same competition as the men, they need to treat them exactly the same, no over promotion, interviews if they lose, pussy-footing in the commentary. All supporters would have much more respct for that approach. It feels a bit patronising at times really.

Good quality game this so far. Feel Sherrock absolutely must win this set, I can't see her coming from 2 back like the Japanese girl the other night,

krustydoyle

I told yis lads.. She's no walk over..

Well if you’ve seen her play in the bdo women’s championship you’d know she wouldn’t be a walk over. Whether she’ll win is the question.

if women are to be in this comp they should be entering the same qualifiers as the men.


The women are only in this comp based on their sex ,if it was fair they would be in with the men in the qualifiers as well.


That said she is playing well

Itssoeasy

Not a bad way to start a set hitting a maximum.

Itssoeasy

Lads she’s in with a great shout of winning this match. She’s growing in confidence.

Stop ****ing booing and it’s not helping.

Tbh first I've seen of her
Great player and has the potential to go far if she wins this match

It would be some laugh to see a female champion in this tournament. Marble and the lads would lose there ****

Steady on now:D

I hope she gets hockeyed now. That female commentator is driving me demented

Kingp35

She really is playing top stuff. Great game this.

Sherrock more impressive than MVG in this tournament

Well my own preference would be that they had their own tourney,, but I don't mind separate qualifiers.

The "rest of the world" players have regional qualifiers and are generally well below the standard of the rest of the field, but it is a great way of promoting the game in those countries.

PsychoPete

The crowd not even cheering Evetts 180
