CRAZY CRAZY NIGHT
>>154252882Did they both have KISS as walkon? Doets has Rock'n'Roll all Nite.Captchas are annoying again, fuck.
Time for the true German No.1.
How did the PDC even pick some of these German towns for an ET
>>154253091Probably whoever:1. met their requirements for the arena, and2. paid them the most money
>>154253177This. Sindelfingen's been on the calendar for years at this point. A classic afternoon session crowd wise.
>Job Cross vs MansellThe amount of hair on stage matches the amount of charisma.
>busting 8 first dart>Manslel
>>154253263This is why I can't play dartsI'm definitely hitting the 20 a lot more consistently but I'll hit a 12 and someone will laugh at me
Honestly quite incredible how quickly Dross has fallen off. Set to miss both of the Matchplay and Grand Prix as it stands. Defending 80k from getting to the quarters at all of the 2024 WMP, GP & Grand Slam. Would be on the cusp of falling out the Top 32 altogether if that happened.
>>154253288Heard he is one of the heaviest drinkers out there. If that's true, it surely won't help, see Dimitri. Also the tax dodging affair might also have had some impact.
>>154253301Dross, Dimi and Der Klownman always strike me as actually drunkGurney too
Ahahahahah holy shit darts ahahahahahah fucking darts>so, what do you do for a living?>i am a professional darts athleteahahahahahaha holy fuck i can't take itDarts and snooker is just things you play with your mates at the pub as you're getting shitfacedYou Nigel's and you Archie's are hillariousFucking darts ahahahah
>>154253326>jose de sousa in full cope mode
>>154253326Did Peru relocate?
>>154253326Jose taking being on the Challenge Tour well I see
>>154253339Has earned a grand total of £100 this season alongside fellow ex-Tour Card holders Scott Baker and WDF legend Andy Baetens
Sedlacek is in the crowd lel
Evening session bump, starts in 30 minutes
>Willie hitting a 100 on 262Irish intelligence
Brilliant display from Unterbuchner in the end, deserved winner
Clown jobbing again
* * * CLOWN IS OFFICIALLY OUT OF THE TOP 32 * * *
I completely missed Dweeb falling out of the Top 20. Feels weird seeing him play on a Friday again.
>>154255113Feels like in the last 6 months, every time I saw him on TV he was losing. For a while it seemed he could be a top 10 player, but this feeling has long gone.>>154254902Based.

>almost allowing Gurney to winState of Lukasiak
>SpringerIt's ime again for the most promising German player to barely squeeze out a win against a local nobody.
>>154256106Thankfully this time Masino is utter shit.
