Day 4 of the BDO World Darts Championships sees the end of the men's first round...

Day 4 of the BDO World Darts Championships sees the end of the men's first round, and hopefully it's a better offering than the rubbish we saw yesterday.

The sedate afternoon offering includes yet another Welshman in Jim Williams up against Swedish strongman Dennis Nilsson, Netherlands' Dirk Kuyt lookalike Richard Veenstra plays Northern Ireland's Kyle McKinstry and Belgium's deputy BDO Eurojobber Geert de Vos faces young Dutchman Derk Telnekes. This session also features the horrifying creature from Lincolnshire Paula Jacklin against women's second seed Aileen de Graaf.

The evening is a lot better as its main highlights include a repeat of a 2016 first round game between Russian 3-time women's winner Anastasia Dobromyslova and Dutch whale Anca Zijlstra that saw Anastasia lose at the first hurdle for the first time, and breakthrough Grand Slam star Cameron Menzies against PDC failure Conan Whitehead. Menzies' manic antics and speedy play won the plaudits of many, and could be a hot prospect to switch, especially if he crashes out here. The other two games tonight see yesterday's prelim winners in action, with Daniel Day up against speedy left-handed Welsh binman Martin Phillips, and Germany's Michael Unterbuchner against the brain of Tipton in Jamie Hughes.

Coverage starts at 12:05pm on Channel 4 before switching to BT Sport 1 at 6:45pm.

All matches are best of 5 sets except women's matches (best of 3 sets). Women's matches are in greentext.

And I managed to forget the subject.

Damnit.

any streamings my dear friend?

Eh, it's the BDO so mistakes are aplenty.

>This session also features the horrifying creature from Lincolnshire Paula Jacklin
Oh, baby.

Official BDO Darts channel on Youtube streams it.

danke

And we're on now.

>Eh, it's the BDO so mistakes are aplenty.
Heh, that's true.

The day someone takes over at the top who's completely outside the bubble like Bazza was for the PDC, the BDO will finally realise they are no longer the top dog in darts.

I hope so anyway.

>Baker
lmao

Will be interesting to see how long they'll continue what they are currently doing.

Williams being torn apart by PDC Euro Tour player

Nilsson is pretty good 2bh

Jim Williams plays against someone not named Tony O'Shea and gets bummed.

Very enjoyable to watch (for BDO standards)

Ha ha time for Paula Jacklin

Cheeky Deta

Those pink glasses dont really seem to improve her game

Well, at least that was quick and painless.

>that game

Why does Jacklin even bother?

Bristow with the banter

>Rob Walker's manlet banter

Shall we all chip in and make a booking lads?

How much?

Why is Darts considered a sport but vidyagames arent?

>commentator mentioning it's easier to score big on Unicorn boards

Because darts is and vidyagames aren't.

De Vos is on one today.

Don't get why he's never switched either.

...

>be on 30
>hit tops

What is he even doing?

Rawling is utter rubbish.

I don't get why he's a commentator on darts.

Agreed, he should stick to boxing.

Dumb bong

...

Explain what this is all about missed it

Any good streams lads?

What did Telnekes do?

Is the winner going to be promoted to the PDC?

They used to offer Tour Cards to the Lakeside winner but stopped after Bunt switched.

Paula Jacklin in "desperate attention seeking rubbish" shocker bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-42604174

>A grandmother believed to be the oldest woman to have competed at a world darts championship is calling for pay equality in the sport. Paula Jacklin, 60, from Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, is currently competing in the BDO World Championships at the Lakeside Country Club, in Surrey.

>Speaking at the event, she said: "There is such a wide gap in prize money, which I feel is unfair to the ladies. Some of the ladies' averages are better than the men's," she said.

I appreciate that Channel 4 are being all inclusive and right-on by hiring Danny Crates.

Bit fuck me he's absolutely shit at his job and needs to be ditched. His 'cockney geezer' accent is way too strong and he fumbles through interviews like it's his first day on the job.

>Some of the ladies' averages are better than the men's

Basically Ashton on a good day.

I can only think Channel 4 went for the bare minimum to match what's on show.

I can't see them renewing the contract at the end of the tournament whatsoever.

>when Trina Gulliver averaged more over 3 sets than Jeffrey Sparidaans did
That's just bad.

Indeed, those interviews always feel odd.

lmao

based veenstra

And we're back on now.

Oh, and not sure if anyone saw this yesterday but wew.

GWAN DAY!

Phillips' throwing action is good to watch Tbh, VvdV tier

He's one of the few "bigger name" BDO players who doesn't get involved with any of the political shit.

He just gets up there and plays.

>official website unironically linking wikipedia on their schedule page because it's far better than their own which doesn't even go past the first round

Who's hype for Duzza taking a ginormous poo all over shitton

Noticed this a few days ago.

I find it rather daft that there's no Round 2 fixtures arranged from the start on the schedule.

Who has a more punchable face, Day or Keegan Brown?
