Darts Discussion Thread

We have to start with a very sad bit of news though. Martin Fitzmaurice has passed away at age 75 :cry:

 

For many years, when I wasn't watching PDC yet (mostly because tv didn't show it here and because I hated the "money federation" back then) the darts at The Embassy - The Lakeside - started with Fitzmaurice's legendary "Are you ready?!! Ladies and gentlemen....Let's! Play! Darts!".

Epic match between the Netherlands and Russia at the World Cup of Darts, where Aleksandr Oreshkin is sooooo slow and "weird" and fun and awesome :d 

 

Sad to see the Russians lost, it would have been awesome :(

Woah! A darts thread! I started watching darts around 10 years back when the rivalry between Phil 'The Power' Taylor :p and Barney was at its peak! Taylor's my favourite. Like Barney, Anderson and Van Gerwen too. Van Gerwen's a genius!

 

I took up to playing darts when I started watching it. Just got a new dartboard after a hiatus of a few years when I went to college :d. My dream is to score a 9-darter :bowdown:. Need to start by getting my first 180 :lol:

I haven't played in ages, I think it's 10-12 years ago since we had a dartboard in the room which later became my bedroom meaning there was no space for the board anymore :p 

 

I think my best throw was having 2 treble 20's in one throw, but never 180 :d

I'll do my best :cheer:

 

Today is an interesting day, with a whole lot of "exotic" nations playing in the World Cup. Reyes and Alcinas are taking on the English team and they might have a chance :)

 

About my favorites: Peter Wright, Michael van Gerwen, Simon Whitlock, Vincent van der Voort, Justin Pipe are some of the names I like. On the other hand, I don't like Taylor a whole lot and I'm definitely not a fan of Van Barneveld anymore. I was when I was little and he won The Embassy/Lakeside 1998 (my dad recorded the final and I think I asked a million times during the months after to see the last few darts, D16 and then Barney threw away his last dart :d ), but nowadays he is always so negative and that's so freaking annoying :p

Aah, yup. I saw a few of Barney's matches last year and he just wasn't mentally up to winning. How I wish for the Barney of the old to show up again.

 

Spain beating England has no chance :p. We can have a bet on that :p

I also need to see this 1998 match you're talking about. Is it on the net?

 

After 1:50 hours the tiebreak starts, 2-2 in the final set :p

 

Ah those good old times, with Martin Fitzmaurice and his "Aaaaare youuu ready?!! Ladies and gentlemen...LET'S! PLAY! DARTS!" :d

    • Well. A lot of the music played in Denmark for Christmas is the same as most others (at least Western countries)   But I would say that most Danish Christmas music goes into one of three categories.   All three have plenty of different songs, but I put out some personal favourites   The old songs, mainly religious ones. Some have been made into more modern versions.  For this I pick Gasolin's version of Dejlig er Jorden, an old hymn of which the Danish text is from 1850:       The second is the more funny or sarcastic songs. Making fun of Christmas. An older one of these is Jul, det Cool, a rather funny "anti-christmas song"     English translated lyrics: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/jul-det-cool-christmas-its-cool.html   The third category is from the annual TV advent calendars whose theme songs very often become part of the christmas playlists.   These include both advent calendars made for the families and some more "grown up" versions   Lille Store Verden from the family calendar Juleønsket (The Christmas wish) in 2015     And from the "Grown up" calendar Jul på Vesterbro   English lyrics: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/jul-pa-vesterbro-christmas-vesterbro.html

    • Their fight for Klimov, however, is embarrassing. If they insist on him, they shouldn't be start at all. It's clear that when you help them, they start overreaching instead of thanking, that someone invites them to your country.   https://www.skijumping.pl/wiadomosci/37722/rosjanie-nie-przyjada-do-polski-z-oczywistych-wzgledow-pominiemy-zakopane/

    • Wouldn't be a proper lead-up to an Olympics without plenty of fear-mongering from the media.  There are concerns, but not the existential crisis that some want to make it seem like everything is going to come crashing down.

    • Hi guys, Last minute plans to check off 2 items from my bucket list: 1. Watch the winter olympics 2. See the northern lights Contemplating going for some ski jumping action, have always been fascinated! May put in a few hockey games. Short track speed skating and figure skating are a bit too expensive. Is anyone here going to attend any ski jumping event? I am targeting Men's LH on the 14th and trying to plan my itinerary around it. Would it be worth it? Men's super team on the 16th is also an option but was hoping to leave for Tromso, Norway to chase the lights around that time too (hence preferring the event on the 14th). Please let me know if you have any opinions. Thanks
