Sideshow

Recommended Posts

I'm sure it's been said by others earlier in the thread, but Sid Waddell really is a fucking imbecile. I know he's a learned guy and all that keech, but he must have a masters in talking rancid shite.

Both Taylor and Barney seem to be way off the top of their game just now.

Quite a poor final I thought, compared to some others I've seen.

On a different note, does anyone know the name of the song that was played over the montage at the end their? Brilliant, whatever it was.

Dedicated his win to Steven Gateley after mentioning Robbie Williams :huh: Never misses a chance to name-drop, does he?

Oh, Taylor's long, long list of best pals is never far away. Joe Longthorne, Kym Marsh and that bloke from The Darkness are all good, good personal friends (to nick a phrase from Alan McInally).

That song has found it's way into the mainstream BIG time, and is suddenly a regular feature in the top 10 every week. I'm delighted that this band are getting some big exposure, as their album is the bees knees.

The quotes from Ted Hankey on the BBC website are laughable - he claims that he'd rather be with the gimmicky BDO than play in the PDC where they 'concentrate on winning'.

Whilst Hearn's bid could be described at best as cheeky - Olly Croft's comments are dripping with bitterness as usual:

EDIT: Adrian Lewis FINALLY won his way through to the Grand Final of Championship League darts at the THIRTEENTH attempt after beating van Gerwen in the final of Group 8 today.

Thank you gentlemen, much appreciated.

Quick (and genuine) question here, regarding this £1m offer - what right does Croft have to decide whether to turn it down or not? Is the BDO actually his, or is he majority shareholder or what? How does it work?

He's the founder of the BDO and has been the 'ringmaster' for the whole operation since it began - I think officially he's the Chairman of the organisation. Hearn, though, wants to hear replies from all 60 or so shareholders before taking the next step.
