Let's play Darts! - Lakeside World Championship 2009

Wasn’t the match fixing allegation related to the group game between them though where a 5-3 scoreline to Anderson guaranteed that both would qualify?

Can’t belive Anderson bottled it again. O’Shea only hit something like an 86 average.

Robson really starting to find the target now after adams looked to be coasting…wolfie starting to bottle it.

Cunt…

Christ, this is quite a veteran semi-final line-up:

Fitton vs O’Shea
Wolfie vs Hankey

O’Shea defeated Fitton 6-4. Fitton was 2-1 up before O’Shea reeled off 4 straight sets to forge 5-2 ahead. Then Fitton started playing well and won the next two sets to bring himself right back into it. He went 2-1 up in the 10th set before missing three darts at the double to level it at 5-5. He had another 3 darts to bring it to a decider in the 5th leg but bottled it again and O’Shea finished it on bull to take the match. Like against Anderson, his average wasn’t great but O’Shea finished better and had more composure on his doubles.

Hankey and Adams are locked at 2-2 in the second semi-final.

Lovely darts there as the Count beat the Cunt. Think of darts and think of Stoke and you only think of one man - Ted “the Count” Hankey (although I think there might have been a lad called Taylor who won a couple of world titles back in the early 90’s but faded inexplicably from the scene. Pity, he could have been a player if he’d stuck with it).

The Count says his improved form this year is down to cutting down his drinking before matches to three pints. From twelve. And his fitness obsession is really paying dividends. Great to see him back in the final and superb to see the camaraderie with Wolfie on stage at the end. Amazing averages too, up into the nineties, that’s enough to win you any title in the world.

And like Tony Green says, this is the biggest title in the world, the one they all want to win, but at the end of the day those players up there are like a family. And the players always get the very best of order. You’ll find the true darts fan at Lakeside.

Best game of the championship and proof that any imminent moves by players away from the family will only be trimming dead wood. In fact it will strengthen the BDO. Looking forward to the 2015 championship which will consist of three players - Adams, Hankey and John “Boy” Walton.

Well said Sid :wink:

Just saw the tags on this now :wink:

Good work Sid.

Roll on the final tomorrow night - it clashes with the Eagles/Giant match but it’ll be unmissable sporting theatre.

The BDO’s new Public Relations Officer:
“This is the true World Championship. Phil Taylor does not exist.”

Something that prang to mind over the past week regarding Martin Adams, he’s 52. Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s where was this fella? His first appearance in the BDO WC was 1994. Funny how Adams first appearance coincided with the formation of the WDC (now PDC) which basically meant the Top 16 players in the World weren’t there for him to compete against.

Just after realising that ugly bird the tv keeps flashing to is actually Hankeys missus, I assumed it was his sister as she looks like a version of himself with curly hair.

The bingo wings on Hankey’s auld wan. Disgusting.

You love it Bandage, you’d be in like Flynn if you were over there I betya

I wonder which organisation has more fatties playing in them?
Possibly the BDO might shade it, there ought to be a survey done on it.
The BDO defenitely has more ugly wags in it anyway for sure.

Hankey shit the bed there big time

Hankey did indeed poo himself - quite amusing.

The Silverback has got a bit of bottle at least, fair play to him

Hankey has scuttered all over his pants and the stage yet again, he’ll hardly win it now

Oh dear - there must be some excrement rolling down Hankey’s legs.
