>UKShaun Carroll back, missed yesterday because of a traffic incidentKevin McDine, his replacement yesterday, back for a second dayNick Cocks then joins as well as Lewis Gurney seemingly turned it down>EURobbie Knops and Sebastian Steyer join probably
Mol vs Underbooks round 1, damn
>>152883774>probablydefinitely
>>152883774>Shaun Carroll back, missed yesterday because of a traffic incidentNot just a traffic incident, he himself was involved in a car crash. Presumably not a significant one otherwise he wouldn't be playing at all.
Steve Beaton vs Stephen Burtonwho writes this shit
>>152883787His reward is playing Fallon by the way.
>>152883789Beaton, Burton, Barstow, Walker, Brown and Part in the same part through L32
>>152883803similarly at best two of Van Schie, Keen, Sevada (all on 3 points as well) would meet in L32
>>152883823Hope van Schie can do something today. At least a few more points on the Oom would be nice.>>152883789Let's pray that sexual prowess will prevail.
>Dirty Harry v Dirty Paedo
EU stacked top half, UK stacked bottom half.
Another slightly early start in the EU school.
Meanwhile, at the top of the PDC: https://www.skysports.com/darts/news/11061/13492121/luke-littler-world-darts-championship-winner-agrees-historic-lb20m-deal-with-dart-supplier>Luke Littler has earned a historic payday after agreeing a record £20m deal with his dart supplier.>The 18-year-old, who claimed the first £1m prize pot when he won the World Championship at Alexandra Palace last Saturday, has renewed his contract with Target Darts.>The Press Association understands the deal, with potential earnings and bonuses, as well as a percentage of sales of products and equipment, is worth £20m over 10 years, and will be the most lucrative the sport has ever seen.Fuck. Me.
>>152884022I wonder how much Leyland Paint paid MvG.
>>152884042nice of them
>>152884063was supposed to be in reply to >>152884022also i think littler could have gotten more, especially over 10 years
>>152884064and here it is with some words explaining the numbers
Devon pooed his pants again.
>>152884081He at least played better today.
Van Schie +1
Bit of a surprise as Coulson gets whitewashed by Rosney. Was 3rd v 4th in the Ranking List at the start of the day.
No more sex today
>>152884106really blew it at the end there
de zwaan 1-5 down..
>>152884138finis
>Sexy Steve out, boring Steve advancesFuck. Also Davon out again, but at least he delivered a solid game.>Derek Coulson raped 6-0 by Stephen RosneyHeard Coulson was a card favourite for lots of people, now he will stay at 4 points after half of the final stage done. Leg difference also took a hit here.
*Devon out againvan Schie with a win, de Sousa, Matt Campbell and Meulenkamp out.
Waites out
>3 yesterday's losing finalists outAll eyes on Thorpe
Raman currently 4-1 up on Sevada
Borland 6-5 Rafferty in the battle of the "Youngsters Who Did One Thing And Nothing Else"
>>152884325kek, there should be a trophy for this, and it should be named after Keith Deller.
Cristo, Shitlock jr. and Underbooks with a win.
Thorpe out as well4/4 finalists
>>152884218>>152884388I confused myselfSparidaans is literally playing now
>>152884394The confusion was caused by Sex somehow
>>152884394Sparidaans +1
rip Björn Queefy
>get involved in a car accident>still beat WOMAN
>>152884468Really unfair to her. She was clearly shook over the news of his accident yesterday - if anything, she should get the win by default for his gamesmanship.
>>152883774>Lewis Gurney seemingly turned it downDan Dawson on the live YouTube updates says Gurney didn't know the top up was a thing. Well done.
Van Schie to face Raman/Geeraerts in the board final
Manby had a bit of a nervous start but did have back-to-back 110 and 126 outs and ultimately won
>>152884467>great names don't give you plot armorShame. In related news: Again no duel Jack Male vs Lee Cocks today.>>152884468Matt Porter already planning rule changes to shoehorn her into as many events as possible.
>>1528838396-0 btw
Aldridge with a 100 again first round.Seriously, who is this guy?
Underbooks yes!
>>15288457314-12-14 to come back from 3-4 down, brutal. I was already about to write that it might not be his year -again - but I stand corrected.
>>152884527>Jelle 67 averageToo busy thinking of underage mongs
Jeroen Caron with a near 109 average to whitewash Moritz Hilger in the EU Last 64
Boris chokes against compatriot Rosandic
Hendo sisters..
Another demonstration of the Harrysson F game as he bombs out with an 80 average.Also very funny needle incident in the game between eternal youth flop Nathan Girvan and genuine Army Captain with the genuine name of Jasper Scarrott: https://youtu.be/M7waYxkZPaA?t=285>rush your throw and catch Scarrott in your eyeline>complain about it>act a cunt because you lostGood.
>>152884631That's a big Yi... Sykes from me.
A modus:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8LpmgBAhLA
Manby out
>>152884645To Car Crash CarrollImagine if he won a card outright today
everybody making fun of q-school kids, what is your average?>>152884632how is this even possible? Do they really turn the magnets on and off during the WC?
>>152884664I can usually get it within one number either side of what I am aiming at.
>>152884664On a good day 50-55. On a bad day? We don't want to talk about this. However I take pride in never having needed 100 darts to finish a leg. 97 is my personal record.>>152884676Same.
Underbooks.. :(Still on track to sneak in via OoM maybe..
>>152884664My around-the-clock-record is 27 :)
>David Cameron in the Card spots as it standsImagine Jim Long v David Cameron on the Pro Tour next year.
>>152884712>Jim Long
Van Schie wins his board
>Gawlas v Harju only in leg 7>the match has been going 23 minutesGrim
>>152884747Mercifully ended 6-2 despite lasting almost half an hour. Gormless has Jimmy Hendriks next.
>>152884664picked it up again after a long time this past month and i'm playing around 45
>Yozza, Waites, Stevenson and Merv into the Card spots in the UK rankings
>>152884664I've recently switched to heavier arrows and feel that this has helped my game tremendously.
Sparidaans v Baetens could be interesting
Shaun "Car Crash" Carroll keeps going!
Merv crashes out averaging 72
Van Schie letting Merckx come back to 5-5 from 1-5
>>152884926Absolute collapse, might have missed a dart at tops to win it as well
>>152884926>>152884935Lost but another 3 pointsanother day like this might be enough
>>1528848616-5 SparidaansBaetens missed two to win I think
>Gawlas v PratnemerThat will take forever even if it's 6-0 either way.Sparidaans onto 9 points, probably got his card already.
Looking good for Sparidaans now, wins a nailbiter vs Baetens, with both players missing opportunities to clinch the win earlier.
Hairy Wart got far yesterday as well, didn't he?
>>152885006If you mean Big H Harry Ward, last 16.
>>152885015you see, I used two homophones for comedic effect there
Cristo with a great game vs David Cameron to advance to L8 and to finally climb the Oom ranks. Would be best if he wins it directly today, one more stinker in the early rounds would mean serious trouble for him otherwise.
A UK card will go to one of the following:>Carl Sneyd or David Sharp>Steve Lennon or Stephen Burton
Turetta beats Merkx to face either Gawlas/Sparidaans for the Card.
Now I'm not saying I'm mad or anything, but it looks like both times Underbooks lost it was against someone eventually winning a Tour Card that day (Bereza and Turetta).
UK is looking a bit grim today.
>>152885170bottom half does for sure
>>152885170One of Danny Goddard, Harrison Leigh, Niall Culleton or Sam Spivey will be a Tour Card holder. Recognise the latter two from Modus, no idea about the first two.
>>152885182Might be a blessing in diguise I suppose. I will hope there is a future star in there and not just a collection of late 30s jobbers who will be back again in two years.
>>152884634have been listening to henry deacon's dulcet tones for so long now that voice of his doesn't bother me anymore
The UK>There are no live matches at this time.
Sparidaans comeback to 5-5 after 2-5 behind
Reyes v Ehlers for the other card. Come on Cristo.
>>152885373Wins it, probably sure of a card now
Turetta v Sparidaans from the top half.
>>152885396Wonder if Sparidaans, if he loses this, would consider not playing the last two days. 10 points and huge leg difference look pretty safe. Two first round losses could screw his leg difference. I doubt he'd consider it, in his situation going for more points seems to be the safer bet, but I think I remember a situation from a few years ago, where someone would have qualified if he simply had not played the last day, because he worsened his leg difference with an early loss.
>>152885492No 0 point rounds this year, you'd want to play.
>>152885182danny a good mate of mine and really put in some good numbers recently, just hit a 9 against grearson>>15288466475-85 unless i play like a retard like i did in stage 1
>>152885492He has to play, he can't just skip the last two days like some have done in the past.
By the way he's 32, looks somewhat older for me. Would have said 38-40 from that pic.>>152885520If you lose 1st round it's 0 I think? There are still players with zero points in the Oom after all.>>152885529Oh okay, well, it's better that way.>>152885526Good luck for a fluke run the next two days. But if I remember correctly, you weren't aiming for a tour card anyway?
>>152885541i didnt make stage 2 anyways but no i wasnt going for it. that might explain why i was poor, nothing to play for. still challenge tour next week so all good>>152885529yea its to stop that sort of thing. iirc playing instead of not with the legs difference screwed over conan whitehead one year.culleton will job this cmon danny
Based Cristo looking good.
>>152885559I shall now cheer for Goddard.
>>152885576good lada county teammate a few years back, but we both left said county. cracking player and put some great numbers on day one of stage one, i hope he does it
Sparidaans not in the mood for complicated calculations it seems.
>>152885587I guess you meant to capture this one. Sparidaans wins a 21 dart leg where all but 2 of his scores were 60. Turetta playing horrendously.
CRISTO REYES IS BACK!
>>152885602more consistent than me at least.... the fuck is turetta doingdanny smacks niall with a 14 dart hold after being pegged back to 2-2 cmon
Sparidaans somehow lost a leg on 20 with Turetta on 290
>>152885615>the fuck is turetta doingWinning this leg.
>>152885624for a cardrip nerves (to get a chance to win money)
CRISTO CRISTO CRISTO
>>152885602kek no, but this one is even better. I thought he's not in the mood for maths because he simply is winning his card directly.
>170 for 5-5lmao
>TURETTA HITTING A 170 FOR A DECIDING LEGLMAO LMAO LMAO
>>152885628warra player
HOLY HELL
shitted it
Sparidaans got itsomehow
The nerves... congrats Sparidaans, almost got mogged there.
danny's collapsing after them missed doubles for 5-4fuckmon codfather
Sneed
Turetta v Sparidaans one for the Q-School Classics folder. Jeffrey FINALLY gets over the line having survived presumably 5(!) darts himself.Carl Sneyd downs Lemon in the UK Q-School.
>>152885715Unsexy Steve now leads the UK Oom.
>>152885715makes me feel better about myself i once jobbed 4 darts to beat sneed>>152885697what a match
it's over
DANNYYYYYY NOOOOOOOO
>JobbardFirst time I see a player whose name starts with "Culle" to win a clutch match.
Well that's +1 Irishman on Tour next year. Will Niall Culleton be any good? Who knows. Keane Barry needs competition anyway.
Goddard won this match, this wayhttps://recap.dartconnect.com/matches/69611f77d4dde88a6a2608a2which we see herehttps://youtu.be/NyaQgq5ADL4?t=108hilariously he gets told off
>>152885906another guy i know hit a 9 on a dev tour and did this - the only way you dont get absolutely crucified for it is if youve hit a 9 darter
>>152884664by the way, what happened to Jana? she simply disappeared after Christmas
Bunting's youtube channel is 100% botted, just look at the ratio of comments to views.
I know it's darts but there are videos with 1k views with more engagement than this lmao
>>152887014It seems it was planned that she returns to football broadcasting after christmas.>>152888618>>152888645I've rarely seen a players reputation crumble so fast than Buntings, at least if you exclude criminal charges.
>>152885906>"sorry sorry i just hit a 9 darter">"*sigh* i know..."
>>152888691This is the auther of one of the most liked comments on the video. The state of youtube. these accounts aren't even that new and they have actual graphic pornography as profile pics (not the AI generated workarounds) which i thought was pretty easy to prevent and ban in this day and age but apparently not?
>>152888618>>152888645>150k+ views in a day >that ratio yep this nibba can't even be fucked to make it look real lol
Umm.. S5, S17, D9 is the normal way to check 40, right, lads?
>>152888987>misses 20>misses 3>still gets it donejust as valid as finishing in one dart, lad
>>152888987I myself fancy the S5 T3 D13 route.
finishing 32 on a classic D8 D8 with two darts
