Nice 136 finish from the fat guy

Re: Darts
 

Jeez, he knocked two trebble 20s out and only got 20.

Re: Darts
 

Oh no, it's been so long since regular darts you shouldn't be scared. It's nothing like whatever you're watching, believe me! I'm not consistent enough, can have my moments but I'm really rusty after having 5 operations in 4 years incl R shoulder this year. :( I even play with outdated Magda 30g copper-tungsten darts from before they had nickel-tungsten and those must be getting rare. I like the old 301 double in & out standard bar game but can play open in.

Re: Darts
 

This is some game.

Re: Darts
 

4-3 in the end with some great darts. That average for wright - impressive stuff.

Re: Darts
 

"This is a great game." "Some great darts." I feel like Helen Keller here.

Re: Darts
 

High averages + high finishes innit.

Re: Darts
 

Nice 110 for the set from Barney.

Re: Darts
 

Always, on tv. I'd love to start playing again but it was easier when the venues were within walking distance. If I tried a bit it would happen for a phone call and bus fare, there's a Scot in the old folks' home near the Serb was in our old league, (a good player and a good guy), said he'd play if I call and the Serb has the boards.

Re: Darts
 

That was a bit scrappy in the end. I expected better than that from barney in the last set.

Re: Darts
 

This is some match also. :thumbup:

Re: Darts
 

Yeah - right down to the wire. Nice bull to win the match.

Re: Darts
 

I like Eric Bristow's analysis. "When the Aussie gets down he folds like deck of cards." :rofl:

Although he looks pretty good at the moment.

Re: Darts
 

That last set was a bit shitty, but the aussie just about took it. White must be cursing that missed D20.

Re: Darts
 

So you two must have a good sense of the 170 finish chart from watching match play if not from bar darts then; exit strategy is a big part of the game. I used to know it but I'd have to have one on the wall for a bit now I think.

Re: Darts
 

There was a 170 checkout last match. :thumbup:

To answer your question, I rarely have to count down from more than about four. :(

I prefer cricket as it gets pretty fun.

Re: Darts
 

There are a few variations, the one we liked best was Killer, but when I was new and playing with Newfies there was a Newfoundland Rotation, (variant of Chase), that was a lot of fun. Miss one number, I think it was the 7, and you had to start over..

Re: Darts
 

My expertise really lies in watching darts on the telly rather than any prowess in the actual game. :)

Re: Darts
 

My games always end up on double 1 after many throws.

Re: Darts
 

I can do that, (and do!), but when you manage to get in the groove and have the concentration happening is when it becomes fun.
And in answer to Oink, much like my proficiency at apres skiing.

Re: Darts
 

Looks like he might be right. 4-4 now.

Re: Darts
 

That was tense.

Re: Darts
 

Two magnificent matches. Those who may scoff at darts haven't watched maths of this calibre and excitement. I'm off down to the boozer with my darts. :thumbup:

Re: Darts
 

The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

Re: Darts
 

Cracking start from van gerwin.

Re: Darts
 

Is there a fight back from the Welsh bloke?

Re: Darts
 

He just picked up a set. 3-1 now and he's scoring better.

Re: Darts
 

4-1 and the Green Machine is firing on all cylinders.

Re: Darts
 

Yeah, he's getting thrashed again now. The Dutch bloke is taking the piss a bit by going for bulls with no reason.

Re: Darts
 

He won't be doing that if he plays Lewis.

Re: Darts
 

Or now. Webster is doing alright atm.

Re: Darts
 

The cocky Dutch cad is not so cocky right now. :thumbup:

Re: Darts
 

Cocky sod. Nice bull D20 to win though.

Re: Darts
 

Hoping this next match will deliver now.

Re: Darts
 

Wade is having a stinker, although I believe he's getting busy with one of the walk on girls. Makes me rather rueful that I spent my youth watching telly and playing Atari instead of practising something. :(

Re: Darts
 

I wasn't good straight away, so I couldn't be arsed. But, yeah this game isn't good so far. I might just walk the dogs instead.

Re: Darts
 

Still early days, but Wright looks like he might win this one easily.

Re: Darts
 

Oooh I'd forgot that was on, so thanks for the heads up. :thumb up:

Nice to see Matt LeTisser at the darts. Class.

Re: Darts
 

Snakebite is really taking bite out the Wizard.



:getcoat:

Re: Darts
 

It was only a matter of time. This next match should be good though.
