/180/: SINGHA BEER GRAND SLAM OF DARTS DAY 2

The group stage continues from Wolverhampton with the Sunday double session as Saturday's winners and losers now face each other.

Highlights of the afternoon include the high-intelligence battle between Dave Chisnall and Jamie Hughes, Robert Thornton against dancing Belgian Dimitri Van den Bergh, Raymond van Barneveld aiming to follow-up on his 110 average yesterday against fellow Dutchman and surprise package Danny Noppert and Peter Wright up against Simon Whitlock.

In the evening, Scott Mitchell will be aiming to build on his 108 average against fat ferryman Adrian Lewis as the 2015 Lakeside champ plays Benito van de Pas, a Stoke derby will surely see the human branch of Wickes Ian White bend over for his Lord and Master Phil Taylor, 2014 Lakeside runner-up Alan Norris is against the impressive BDO number 1 Glen Durrant, while in Group A Martin Adams and Michael van Gerwen recover from their scrappy battle last night against Germany's Max Hopp and boring Ulsterman Brendan Dolan respectively.

Coverage starts at 1:00pm UK time on SS5 with the evening session from 7:00pm UK time on the same channel.

I think Snackpot is done as a professional player now after his folding last night.

He's not good at the Grand Slam (remember 2014 when he lost to BOTH Keegan Brown & Rowby-John Rodriguez?) but how he played after Mitchell hit the 161 was shocking.

Fuck off to the ferries with Deller and give up your Tour Card to someone who cares, Aidey.

Fugg, wanted to watch Wolfie vs. MvF so bad last night, but fell asleep right beforehand. How was ist?
>Martin Adams and Michael van Gerwen recover from their scrappy battle last night
Must've been good. I guess Autism prevailed?

MVG won 5-2 but played his worst game since the World Cup final. Averaged 94.

Probably because Wolfie kept putting him off laughing.

Thanks. OK, so it was not so good after all. Still good to see that Wolfie is back. I was worried since there were some reports auf him being severely sick (cancer?), but I obviously misread that, because I thought he might be done for good.

Oh no, the cancer story's legit: bbc.co.uk/sport/darts/37517763

Shit! Get well soon, Wolf!

I know we all like to mock Aidy but seeing him play like he has done over the last few years is just tragic. He's geniunely one of the best to watch when his game is actually on point.

This. It's a waste of talent, he's not even a sloppy genius any more at the moment, he's just sloppy.

Btw I'll try to stop screwing up my posts.

He doesn't care any more, that's the problem. Would rather be fucking about on P&O ferries thank playing in actual ranking tournaments.

This was 3 years ago this month: youtube.com/watch?v=BB8GrKtZwaE

Absolutely pathetic he's gone from that to this in such a short period of time.

Watch him "magically" regain his form at the Worlds because gameraising.

lel dat Denglisch

Checked.
Even if he started caring again, he might still miss the consistency.
>that match
Even though it involved the Stokey boys, it was an absolute joy to watch. 2013 was the year of total Taylor dominance, iirc.

Taylor won the lot in 2013 except the Euros when he lost to Kimbo Jobber's dad and then got Autism'd in the Players Champs Finals

I hope MvG chokes on a dick.
Literally chipmunk level of dislikeable.

And we're on now.

This man only speaks for himself and is by no means a representative of all german attendees.

Das Denglisch ist stronk with mir!

>that guy with the pink hair behind Mardle

Some rugby stuff in my SkySports2 stream. Do I need to worry?

Think it's on SkySports5

Well, this match can only be better than expected, not worse.

Thanks again, Austriabro

>i cant hold all these 60's

DAT 120

BIG super sexy ted evetts

Silenced.

solid last leg from the canuck

GOOD GUYS CAN WIN

>Moves like Jobber for Mens
wat is life?

Mensur time.

BIG MENS TIME

Wow, this aspi guy is finishing like a beast.

MON KEBAB REMOVER

>Mens aiming for a 170-170-161-finish
Almost...

>dat cheeky nine dart attempt from sully

top lad.

Maybe if price spent as much time practising as he does acting the big man on twitter he might win a few games.

MADHOUSE PARTY

Doubles shitfest. Reminds me of my 90-darter I recently threw.

How's life in Germany, Mr. Fleet?

I still manage to avoid reaching the fabled 100-dart-leg, despite many attempts.

>Chizzy Rascal

>I want the medal

You actually have to win tournaments for that Mr. Simple.

DAT 121

>the highest average EVER in the Grand Slam
>40
>oh well

Chizzy about to get eliminated by the only person in the field with a lower IQ than him

>not naming it BDO_-_not_even_once.gif

Good to ehar John Gwynne back. How long has he been back on Sky? I remember he retired a few years ago but came back to do a BDO tournament on Eurosport or something but didn't know he was back on Sky.

He's been making sporadic appearances on Sky recently.

Chizzy BTFO

>jizzy
Ex-BDO jobber loses to another ex-BDO jobber and then loses again to a current BDO jobber.

Embarrassing.

... you people unironically watch darts?!

>21st century walk-on music

You unironically watch a thread with people who watch darts?

Mrs Thornton's going to get battered this evening

>PDC top 8 player getting raped by a BDO jobber

do people ever miss the dart board at the professional level?
are professional boards smaller?
do they stand further away?

>do people ever miss the dart board at the professional level?
Never seen one completely miss the board.

>are professional boards smaller?
>do they stand further away?
I would say no to both of your questions but that's just me assuming it should be that way.

No
No
and
No

And she's spared again!

Just a few gentle slaps with the flat hand tonight I'd guess

>do people ever miss the dart board at the professional level?
I don't recall this ever happening (in the PDC at least)

>are professional boards smaller?
No

>do they stand further away?
Depends how far you stand away. In professional Darts it's 7 ft 9 1/4 in (or 2.37 m) away from the board (not the wall)

How far away to do they stand playing soft tip?

pdc said on twitter they don't want to over run in the afternoon sessions, would imagine single walks on will be back for the evening sessions.

Why are they walking on stage together now? I'm pretty sure they walked seperately yesterday and they each got their own annunciation right?

youtube.com/watch?v=VfCRibrgEcU

They walked on stage together yesterday afternoon as well. According to an user it was for time reasons.

Completely forgot about that. Comedy match.

>132 left
>20 T20 ... *thinks* ... T19

DAT 157

Based Wadey

Fuck wade, he is like watching paint dry, plods along doing nothing them hits you with a big shot.

Sets up a tasty yozza v wilson winner takes all.

>it's a Barney montage

Barney has a way of making young dutch talent crumble in his presence.

B A R N E Y on fire

>It's a Barney teaches a young Dutchman how to play darts

Someone needs to tell Noppy to switch as quick as possible.

This is some great stuff from the Friesland lad.

why switch to the inferior organisation

Smooth as fuck 96 from Barney. Quality match.

Poor Whitlock

>get whitewashed
>twice in about a week

>le on his way back to the top 10 man

It was 133 left so at least throwing at an odd number had remotely sense but... yeah...that was still kinda awkward.

nice trips

Well that was an anticlimax to the session.

See you in 2 hours.

>SHITLOCK

seriously, wtf

Your one hour warning.

>evening session starting with Webster vs Fitton

>mandrama on skysports 5

My god this has to be the most embaressing "sport" on earth.

We're back on now.

Why are so many darts players from Stoke?

Opening with a proper glamour tie

>Fitton
>scores no tons

>Fitton
>Is obese

Can somebody redpill me on Webster? What is /180/ stance towards him? Any memes, notable games or gossip? Anything?

>Shitton

Still working on your list? Must be pretty complete by now. Will we get a glimpse soon?

>tfw no /147/

>Sky graphics

>having the Lelverpool thing on the back of your shirt

>Wobster

>Fitton actually won a game

lel, the absolute state of "professional" darts

DER DER DER

Is in progress. What about webster now?

desu I haven't really an opinion on him
