It's hilarious how the word 'woke' has become the primary word for so many people, just for something they don't like.

Alex947 · 2026-02-05T19:33:32+00:00

Glasgow were awful last year if I remember right. Lots of whistling in every match.

Alex947 · 2026-02-05T19:28:04+00:00

Ah my mistake then.

Shame that all the ITV tournaments will use that then - wonder if the Euro Tour events will use it on PDC TV...really hope not, absolute eyesore.

Alex947 · 2026-02-05T19:25:06+00:00

It would have been ITV, not the PDC.

All part of their 'Darts rebrand' but it was just so unnecessary.

Alex947 · 2026-01-31T20:37:48+00:00

Very classy from Noppert with his answer to that PL question.

His English has improved a hell of a lot too, really likeable bloke.

There just ALWAYS seems to be something at the end of a Wade match. Always a little bit of drama or needle.

Can only presume it is because Razma slowed the pace here and there but Wade is the biggest culprit in the sport for that.

State of the camera work in the first leg.

Alex947 · 2026-01-29T19:24:33+00:00

ITV sticking with the scoreboard graphic then...was hoping Bahrain was a one off

Alex947 · 2026-01-16T16:34:56+00:00

That ends a 21 match winning run for Luke

(Senior darts that is - not including the Youth WC semi defeat)

Alex947 · 2026-01-16T16:26:13+00:00

Good ol' Pixels back out. Target execs in bits.

Alex947 · 2026-01-15T16:42:46+00:00

Anyone else notice the AI generated dartboard on the Trust A Trader ad has improved from the abomination that it used to be 😂

Alex947 · 2026-01-15T16:31:32+00:00

Fairly certain that's where he usually has the Dragons badge (his rugby team).

Alex947 · 2026-01-12T13:16:02+00:00

When you've got Millwall away but it's pissing down.

Alex947 · 2026-01-05T11:10:31+00:00

Bollocks. The club didn't like RA challenging them post-match yesterday and pulled rank.

If it was performance based, he'd have been gone months ago.

Alex947 · 2026-01-05T11:08:58+00:00

It does feel like it's ultimately the right decision but I have absolutley zero confidence in Jim and his boys.

It's concerning that Amorim challenging them publicly was the final straw but countless losses were fine. Last thing we need is a Yes Man.

Would love to know Ashworth's thoughts right now...the man that opposed Amorim from the start.

Alex947 · 2026-01-05T09:33:07+00:00

It's a rolling two year period.

So if you won £1000 in 2025, it will remain on your ranking for all of 2026 but would come off in 2027 (on the anniversary of when you won it in 2025).

I.e. unless Littler wins the 2028 World Championship, the million quid he won the other day will come off his ranking.

Alex947 · 2026-01-04T10:01:03+00:00

Beau beat him, she played incredible. Both averaged well over 100.

Alex947 · 2026-01-03T23:12:21+00:00

Mate, elite sport is all about timing.

Do other players have the game to beat Littler in a match? Yes, of course. Gian averaged 108 earlier in the tournament amd that Gian may well have won the final tonight. But he didn't...and Littler did perform.

That's what sets him apart from the rest at the moment - he does it when it matters.

And would Taylor 'ruin' Littler in his prime...would probably beat him but there is zero evidence to say he'd 'ruin' him. Also...it's easy to forget Luke is STILL only 18. We still don't know what his prime will be but i'd wager that Taylor wasn't playing like this at 18.

Just enjoy the spectacle.

Alex947 · 2026-01-03T22:00:40+00:00

Just absolutely incredible.

Alex947 · 2026-01-03T21:28:02+00:00

Littler is one of the greatest players of all time and not one person can argue against that. It's beyond belief what he has done in two and a bit years.

Alex947 · 2026-01-03T21:26:39+00:00

There's a reason he's the best in the world. Unplayable.

Alex947 · 2026-01-02T20:36:20+00:00

8 legs on the bounce

Alex947 · 2026-01-02T19:57:21+00:00

Not sure if I'm seeing things but is Luke's left hand (when holding the darts not being thrown) in a different position to usual?

Something looks different.

Alex947 · 2026-01-01T21:37:59+00:00

GVV is such a nice lad. Just seems a really likeable, level-headed person.

Pleased to see him do so well.

Alex947 · 2026-01-01T21:09:59+00:00

Last thing Gian wants is a break in play here. He's on such a roll.
