personally ive always thought this to be a stupid rule because look at other sporting events you pick your best players who are in form. so to me this rule shouldnt even be there
If for any reason the other players did boycott Luke Littler playing in the World Cup if the rule is changed they should be embarrassed, he is by a country mile the best player on the tour and he doesn’t practice, get a hold of yourselves leave the lad alone what will be will be if he plays he deserves it man just like the others that have been selected previously, isn’t jealousy a bitch
To be honest: i wouldnt pick any of them. 😅 Right now the EP-Tour loses his charme for me. 🤷 The change the PDC made with allowing the Top16 of the order of merrit a free pass - which means the other tourcardholder places outside both Top16 rankings and outside of the eastern, nordic and host-nation qualifiers are cut short, is horrible. And now nearly every EPT event hosts the same players... over and over again. I liked the tour cause you ve seen a lot of ,,smaller" tourcardholders on a big stage outside world championship. And second: crowd seems to get worse every event. Its not about boooooing or something like that. Its just like that there is no more atmosphere. First event in Flanders was completly silent. Than Riesa, Munich and now Sindelfingen there are only small sequenzes of chants o.e. than minutes of pure silence. 🤷 People are more looking on each other at the tables instead of following the matches. No response to big finishes or missed darts, no response to good or dramatic moments [...] Dont know but for me EP-Tour is fading a lot right now. 😅
There absolutely are biological advantages in being a man playing darts. Do some more research, at least watch the interview with Dr Linda Duffy. The bullying is out of control I agree. If it's allowed then Noa-Lynn has every right to play but your take is clearly biased one way, its far more nuanced than you make out. At least try and understand both sides of the debate.
The Dutch were a once proud nation but are letting their principles slip into the gutter. Allowing a man to play for the women's team completely destroys the dignity, integrity and professionalism of the game. Those who have left in disgust are to be respected, an absolutely shameful episode for the Netherlands and their Darts association!!!
Lets be honest . . ..a lot of the Womesn players are very questionable . . . . .Marie O Brien . . . .Deta Hedman etc etc . . ..so why pretend this is the first ...
I remember him losing an epic final to Bill Lennard in the 1976 Ladbrokes Matchplay. Fun fact: the accompanying Halex Open played at the same time and place was won by a young unknown called Eric Bristow.
Alan played for the Lancashire County side in the late 90's/early 00's he was a lovely bloke and still had it even at that stage. it was a joy to watch him in those days when he was enjoying his darts, Daryl Fitton was in the same side, awesome county side!
Alan Glazier was a talent. Aggressive style thrower though. (you could hear the 'Thud' on board when his throws hit it) But Left-Handers' are often like that, even now. Rest In Peace our Alan. RIP Eric and Jocky too.
Mikuru is like coming from Australia as The top Australian lost But I do think Women's Dart players should be earning near the same as men. Also to me it should had been four out of the top Female players there to play against the men. I do think women now should also play against them in some tournaments as this will improve the women's game. But when you only have two women it does show more is needed. We know on their day the top men's dart players must be at their best too as women can beat any top player MVG playing in the final against Fallon nearly two years ago proved as Fallon had a huge lead. Like Rob Cross MVG made a comeback to win.
They can but they just don't seem to be consistent enough on the power scoring, e.g over a ton plus. Fallon and Beau can hit the high scores but the other women don't seem to be at the same level unfortunately.
Scientific fact that males have a different motor function to females. Only the PDC that wants to defy science, BDO aa awful as an organisation that it was, at least had seperate tournaments.
There's no real pressure on Mikuru, can't see her ever moving to UK when there's nowhere near enough money in the game. Fallon is on a different trajectory. She seems to push this "women can compete with men" nonsense, instead of concentrating on growing the womens game as a seperate entity. As far as Q School, it's not such a big deal if she fails imo. It didn't do Lisa Ashton much good, and they seem to find a way of Fallon accessing tournament's anyway. I don't mind in it promoting the game, and say she does some World Series tournaments, they're invitational anyway. Lets be honest, when it comes to qualifying on merit, Beau Greaves is pretty much guaranteed.
There's nothing nonsense about it: if more women apply themselves to Darts, they can potentially be as good as the men. Fallon is proof of that. The big titles in Darts are unisex and thats how it should be. Womens tournaments are fine and good, but 99% of Darts players cant enter it, so the ceiling is limited, as are the winnings I should imagine.
It`s a scientific fact that the male motor function differs from that of a female. Darts titles were never unisex, the BDO existed for decades with separate titles and still does under the WDF, so you`re making that up. It`s only the PDC who want to twist things, but that`s more about marketing darts as a whole, which is fair enough. But the women`s game will never be good enough to earn a living against the men. Women have thrown darts for decades, and it`s taken a long long time for their averages to increase anything like notably. Young lads come along and smash those averages to pieces in a matter months on the circuit. I`m not a Fallon hater, far from it and I see the good it does for the game as a whole, with her being part of it. But long term the game needs to grow enough for women to have their own tournaments, like they always have done. Fallon is benefitting as a trailblazer of sorts, and good luck to her, but that privileged position only works once. The woman beating a man novelty has been done, but realistically Fallon has won something in the order of 4 or 5 matches against men, in recognised tournaments in 4 years!
@@GretatheEvilGremlin Motor function or not, the game is suitable fore both genders and no matter how many paragraphs you write, that is an undeniable fact. Its not a sport.
I think we all thought he would really take off after winning the world championships but it hasn't happened so far. That's why people call it a bad year.
i think he wouldve if he hadnt changed darts he was still doing great. he has said tho he hasnt practiced in 10 months, so maybe he just lost motivation or something
