Top, top darts from Claire Stainsby and Glen Durrant.
So it turns out that cunt Martin Fitzmaurice is a filthy racist and a homophobe? Missed that.
Good riddance to the fucker.
Phil Nixon RIP.
Really sad news.
But heās with Sid and Jocky now.

Is that the lad who got to the āworldā final a few years back ?
Yes, he trailed Wolfie 6-0 before thrillingly winning 6 sets in a row himself. Wolfie won the decider in what was a bona fide Lakeside classic.
RIP Phil Nixon
RIP the Ferryhill Flyer. 
Best wishes also to Robert Holmes who yesterday retired as Public Relations Officer for the BDO after 20 years. Without a doubt the best in the business.
Anyone catch Bob Anderson in Finglas last night? The Limestone Cowboy was in the Cardiff Inn playing with the locals, couldnāt make it down myself unfortunately.
Philās funeral is on Friday week. Suzanne has asked everyone to wear their county shirts, any other dart shirt or even a football shirt. This is going to be a celebration of Philās life, and rightfully so.
Brilliant match between Big Robbo and The Dazzler earlier with Fitton taking it in sudden death. This really is a cracking World Masters. Best player on the planet, Scott Waites is on the oche now. 
Kong has shocked Scotty Waites here. Brilliant game.
Splendid atmosphere in Hull tonight with a sell-out crowd, unlike at the cheap imitation event in Dublin, where the arena is about 1
/3 full.
The Bullet playing devastating darts against the Dazzler and is on the verge of victory, leading 4-0 in the semi-final. Eurosports coverage is very impressive.
James Wilson is in the final! What a performance by the Yorkshireman to beat Kong 6-3.
Awesome from Bunty. There isnt a better dart player on the planet at the moment. Heās the Winmau World Master 2013. A great tournament and former forum member and Humberside native fartholey will be delighted that the City Hall in Hull has once again proved to be a magnificent venue.
A bittersweet week for Welsh darts.
Martin Phillips hit a superb nine-darter on the way to his second Turkish Masters title in succession.
But that paled into insignificance with the news of the sudden passing of Dennis Cake, a real stalwart of Welsh darts.
RIP Dennis.

[SIZE=6]SINCERE CONDOLENCES[/SIZE]
[B]It is my sad duty to announce the death of Dennis Cake (Dablo) who passed away today after a short illness. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family, friends and colleagues of Gwent Darts Organisation.
Dablo was the General Secretary of Gwent and dedicated his life to Darts, his son Stephen being capped for his Country Wales was one of his proudest moments.
He was a larger than life character in the Sport of Darts and he will be sorely missed by everyone that knew him.
R.I.P my friend, Goodnight God Bless as you join that great darting family in the sky.
Funeral Arrangements:

Family flowers only, but donations can be made towards the STROKE association.[/B]

BDO have just been reappointed as auditors of Celtic at the clubās AGM which is taking place in Glasgow at present.
James Wilson played some scintillating darts to defeat world number one Stephen Bunting 5-1 in this eveningās final of the Finder Zuiderduin Masters.
The Yorkshireman has been steadily moving into the top echelon of the game in recent years and he announced himself today as a real contender for the World Championship.
Speaking of the World Championship, which is just four weeks away now, the BBC have won the bidding war for the crown jewel of darts, and will broadcast every day of the tournament exclusively live.
Itās a renewal of the partnership between the worldās finest broadcaster and the worldās greatest darts tournament that began all the way back in 1978. The BBC and the BDO are both byabbreviations for outstanding quality and excellence in their respective fields. Long may the relationship continue.
Presume thereāll be some sort of commemoration over the course of the tournament. He really graced that Lakeside oche with distinction in 2007.
