My favourite player is myself.

This is a game to be played in cheap pubs, not a sport.

When I was a university student, I used to play a lot in cheap pubs with friends. Nowadays I rarely play it with amateur meteorology fans on special meetings (once a year on even more rarely). But last week, I bought a small and cheap darts table with my wife, brought to our cellar to play there. A perfect place for it.

Good mod, finally a good reason to aim for double 18.

Game ON!


MvG had a big fish.
RvB is out.
Cross is out.
Ian Gay White is out.

I hope Wade and Suljovic will fall, too.

Game ON!

Is it this game? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_PDC_World_Darts_Championship

Darts are not uncommon in Italy, but I don't see any Italian flags on the championship name list

Lot's of people from England though, I suppose those dartboards in pubs are not just for show.

Hahaha, MvG strikes back.

@Overdrijf: which Dutch player do you cheer for? Netherlands is the strongest non-British country in this game.

I don't know, I don't follow the competition too much. I just never was much of a sports watcher (although the last few years I did start watching Age of Empires 2 as an e-sport, something I thought I'd never ever do because it's not real sports, but ones you know what to watch for there is so much happening at all times that it's actually pretty interesting). Barney/Raymond van Barneveld (recently retired again) was the one that really popularized darts as a TV and pro sport here, it's a pretty recent development, but then again every time he made the news he sounded like a bit of a diva, going on about how super important it was that he was playing in new shirts with wider sleeves or some "look at me I'm a real sportsman" stuff. Co Stompé always comes across as a nice fellow, but he never wins, so uhhh... Michael van Gerwen?

Where's the real MvG? What we saw from him in Premier League was probably most demotivated and convulsive gameplay of darts history. <20% checkout efficiency from the "World Number One"? Bah...
