Grand Slam of Darts

Ryan Joyce with Tetris shirt/walk on?

Ah lads the roaring out of Price is just embarrassing.

He seems to be getting worse with age.

it was it seemed an accepted eccentricity of his but I think over the last while it’s become very off putting both to the audience and more importantly his opponents...

a good throw and it’s the turn to the audience, the shouting and roaring, basically the panto act, then he goes to retrieve his darts, then a word to the scorer and referee... all the while taking the momentum out of his opponent...

its not done for entertainment, I don’t know why the PDC don’t just sanction him,

16.01 - During a match players shall conduct themselves in a manner of respect for the other

     player(s) and shall refrain from annoying the other players or using offensive language or

     making offensive gestures and shall refrain from any unsportsmanlike conduct. 

     {EG: such as deliberately losing a Leg or match, deliberately delaying matchplay, or

         interfering with the throw of another player.}

16.02 - Any player found by the Organisers to be in breach of Clause 16.01 shall be deemed to

     have brought the Sport of Darts into disrepute and shall be disqualified from any further

     participation in the tournament 

     However, if the player, or the Officials of the said player's team challenge the

     disqualification, or forfeiture, the matter shall be appealed immediately to the WDF

     Executive, whose decision shall be final and binding.

It's pretty lame but having said that, if it wasnt this way, fallon would probably get the winner of MvG and Anderson and I wouldnt fancy her chances against them. Peter Wright not on top form yet, so a chance of getting some revenge

It is unusual. As far as i'm aware it's always been this way for some reason.

I'd say a lot is down to having the quarter finals played over different nights. Couldnt have one last 16 winner playing the following day or another playing 3 days after.

Though it is a bit strange having quarter finals being potential group stage game rematches.

WTF happened there? To be fair i couldn't see what MvG did

Yes should have pointed that out too!

Gando played well in that one. Was unlucky with the draw. Nearly better than the other 3 winners tonight.

he didnt do anything - MvG was giving out to himself. Probably called himself a **** bollix or something and Gary thought MvG was saying it to him

The QFs look interesting

Two hard games to call in the top half

I reckon Wright will have too much for Sherrock

MvG to annihilate Smith

Tough ask for her if Snakebite plays anything near his best

He's pretty unpredictable these days though, so she has a chance

Has Russ Bray been with the PDC since the very beginning?

I like his style but he can't have long left with errors like this week.
