Anime
Good afternoon lads, rough lineup today. Hope Gilding beats the Cheat, Hurrell dumping out another self-important fatty after beating Bunting at the worlds would also be nice.
>>154109580Says it all when Dolan v Dekker gets evening session billing over Nijman v Gilding. Matchfixer is the same as Humphries in having zero "aura".
Białecki unironically looks like a cunt, I can't explain it
Kirkulator looking banging
Bialecki's grinding hard, every time I tune in these days he's on. Wouldn't mind him becoming a regular.>>154109587Hard to compete with Brenny in terms of aura.
THE MAX FOR THE MATCH
>Mr Bean
Kinda tired of local jobbers, lads. Those matches rarely make a good watch.
>>154109916The qualifiers for this one were especially terrible. No Krohne, no Hempel, no Unterbuchner. I'd be shocked if any of them go through.
>>154109926Troppmann might have a chance against Edhouse. But only because Edhouse is shite.
Also had a laugh at this. It says:>"Sign with writing on it"
Lovely's throwing action looks weird, it seems like he is slightly pushing the darts with his upper body through his right shoulder.
Nobody will miss Baby Boy from Sunday's play.
>Menzieshe's melting
>Cammy 87.5 average>19 missed darts at doubleHe's finished
Based Noncefinger.
>Cullen jobbing out to Patrik KovacsLOL
>Cullenkek
Evening session bump
>Hurrell
Absolute dogshit from Hurrell
D I R KIRK
Is this shite being broadcast on a channel over here?
>>154112411No, PDC TV only. It used to be on the TV when Viaplay was on in the UK a few years back.
fawanews.sc
Dolel time
put snakeshite on now, i need a laugh
>>154112528
Dirk's probably a bit of a handful after a few pingers
>>154112541>Wright v KimGrim
who is this budget mvg dude
AM SHIBBINDAP TO BOSDN!
Dire stuff from Brenny.
dolan pls
Dolan won with an average difference of -12.40. Dekker should be fucking embarrassed.
both of these guys are shit
Missed this from earlier.>Jobber Joe
what the fuck is this songkek
>>154112995He's not wrong. He will agree, but everyone else will disagree.
THE BIG DOOT
>Ostlund
First time ever seeing or even hearing about Ostlund. Seems like he's not used playing on bigger stages.
>>154113135He's appeared in a couple of Euro Tour events before and won a week of the Modus Super Series. This display is way below his usual standard of mid-80s.
>Barney sulking after every throw that hasn't at least two treblesThis guy is irritating beyond belief.
>sharteveld
Ha ha get fucked Barney.
>there are STILL fans of Barney in 2026
House otter looks like the guy that is about to decline my loan application.
>Marcel Hausotter is 34Yikes
>>154113745The German Dean Winstanley.
>>154113781Here he at 22 playing Kirk Shepherd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erx3n7orJgw
>>154113801Looks a little like Jocky Wilson here.
Are Brendan Dolan and Kim Huybrechts twins? I can't tell them apart.
he is watching the thread
>>154113905He'll be watching videos of Dimitri and De Decker jobbing at the Worlds
I thought Clown would continue to drop hard, but he isn't defending that much anytime soon. A 30k ET win in Spetember, and 50k at worlds. There won't be another single huge drop until those two events, it will be a slow fade.
>busting 130Thank you Chipmunk for sending down the Clown. At least Kim is a funny cunt, Wright is just sad.
>>154114211I didn't realise how bad that 130 attempt was. What the fuck's that D5 shot supposed to be?
did ricardo get sued by nintendo?
Pietreczko is another one nobody would miss if he fell miles down the rankings.
>>154114135He's as consistent these days as a rank 32+ player so hopefully we'll see a lot less of him, but you look down to the 'talent' from about 50 downwards (and the money earnt) its not like he's in any real danger of losing a tour card any time soon, he still can bust out a little run with this much inconsistency around. I just hope Beau manages to keep plugging away throwing in 100 averages on the floor and climb up into the top 64 with a run in a major, and maybe Manby and Jimmy van Schie who seem watchable and good enough to be there. Jfc MVG is now out of the top 32 on the Pro Tour Order of Merit, i wonder how long ago it was before that was a thing.
>>154114578Basically yes, but at least he's always good for an Aspie moment.
Someone post the ian white copypasta
>>154114582Yeah, Clown is in a very good position in that regard. He'll be like Mansell or Barry and earn enough to never fall off.Greaves, Manby and van Schie have to stop jobbing on the floor. All three of them have too much potential to do two years on the Tour and fall off without doing anything. They can't do what Andy Baetens did.>Jfc MVG is now out of the top 32 on the Pro Tour Order of Merit, i wonder how long ago it was before that was a thing.What? He's 30th per the PDC website and 28th per Darts Rankings?
>>154114578i look forward to his antics when his old, fat, and bald.
>>154114582>>154114736At least the Edhouse shenanigans will be over in November.
>All these sub-85 averages today>Brenny even winning with sub-80>Pikachi 5-5 with 80 average>"P" DCI take back my slander of Edhouse, he played the best average today so far, a whopping 95.
>>154114736https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDC_Pro_Tour#Pro_Tour_Order_of_Meritwikipedia is telling me as of 16 March 2026 he was 33...But yeah there seems like a hell of a lot of players from around 32-50ish on the World Rankings who are going to be like turds that wont flush somehow
>>154114943Shithouse is just unnaturally high in the rankings.
Almost hit the double
Would have been very funny had Dab taken out the 136 following that bust. Alas.
Not got the sound on was white getting bother from the crowd?
>>154115090Heard some of it, I think they mainly cheered Pikachu, but didn't catch any heckling. Could be I missed it though.
>>154115090Dab didn't look at Pikachu at the handshake so possibly.
Are we sure that Niko Springer was ever actually good?
>Jan Schmidt LightningOkay, but what is his nickname?Badum-tsh!
>>154115530>Cars-branded shirt and nickname
>>154115518Was thinking the same, feels like I haven't seen a good game from him in ages. Uter also looking worse each week. Seems like Germans just can't escape the eternay jobberdom.
>missing the board on 48
>breakJAN SCHMIDT LIGHTNING-CHADS, WE'RE SO BACK!
Janschmidtlightningbros...
Niko Springer beat Michael van Gerwen just 5 months ago at the Grand Slam. Hard to understand how his game's collapsed this much that he's having to scrape past a Home Nation Qualifier.
