Yep, Barney

Anderson out of the Premier League, to be replaced by mystery challenger of the week:

Newcastle - Suljovic v Dobey
Glasgow - Gurney v Durrant
Dublin - Wright v Lennon
Exeter - Price v Humphries
Aberdeen - van Gerwen v Henderson
Nottingham - Smith v Aspinall
Berlin - van Barneveld v Hopp
Rotterdam (1) - Wade v van den Bergh
Rotterdam (2) - Cross v de Zwaan

I like the concept. Bit odd that it's all young developing players, Durrant, and then Henderson, but given that Hendo plays van Gerwen you may as well just sort by ranking money and pick the best Scot available, it's not as if picking anyone else adds value

What happens if that combination actually performs well enough to advance?

Team Randoms doesn't actually score points

Lame. Should make them play the play-offs stuffed in a huge trenchcoat imo

Just the four nine darters on the Pro Tour today, Chizzy/Duzza final just starting

I don't like it. Pot luck who you get each week making the final table lacking fairness compared to just inviting another player.

Durrant's won a Pro Tour event just now and Dimitri's remembered how to play on the floor, interesting times

Price one match away (vs Ricky Evans shortly) from doing the Pro Tour double this weekend, he's probably a top 5 player in the world right now

He might be higher than that, but still an arsehole which is all that matters.

Oh, he's a grade A cock, that's not in question

UK Open round 4 draw, lol Menzies beating Newton then getting timed out in the next round, ordered by highest 64 ranked player first:

Michael van Gerwen - Mervyn King
Rob Cross - Darren Webster
Steve Beaton - Gary Anderson
John Henderson - Michael Smith
Daryl Gurney - Reece Robinson
Joe Cullen - Gerwyn Price
Mensur Suljovic - Peter Wright
James Wilson - James Wade
Jan Dekker - Simon Whitlock
Dave Chisnall - Luke Humphries
Jamie Hughes - Ian White
Jonny Clayton - Arron Monk
Adrian Lewis - Jamie Lewis
Nathan Aspinall - Christian Kist
Stephen Bunting - Steve Lennon
Ryan Searle - Steve West
Geert Nentjes - Max Hopp
Jeffrey de Zwaan - Jermaine Wattimena
Josh Payne - Kyle Anderson
Pete Hudson - Kim Huybrechts
Ricky Evans - Dimitri van den Bergh
Brendan Dolan - Richard North
Jelle Klaasen - Madars Razma
Willie O'Connor - Keegan Brown
Joe Murnan - Krzysztof Ratajski
Cristo Reyes - Ryan Joyce
Raymond van Barneveld - Simon Stevenson
Benito van de Pas - Gabriel Clemens
Alan Norris - Ross Smith
Martin Schindler - Adam Hunt
Mickey Mansell - Scott Taylor
Luke Woodhouse - Gavin Carlin

So King just missed a dart to go 8-2 up, being large on Price ew to bink this had better not come back to haunt him

Lol MvG

This is the best tournament of the year aside from the worlds. The redraw after each round is so fun.

Mervyn King beating MVG after MVG's comment a couple weeks ago is pretty pure too.

Barney gone and that's the last we'll see of him in a ranking major, Ando also gone

Quarters:

Aspinall/R Smith
Stevenson/Price
M Smith/Beaton
Cross/Payne

Why do a redraw if they're just going to rig it to have the top remaining seeds play the lowest remaining seeds the last two rounds?

Yeah, the last 16 draw seemed a bit suspect as well

Latest list of DRA hearings came out today and he got fined 500 quid for not playing to the best of his ability in that one lol

Lol Cross. ****test standard TV final in how long? Worse than BDO that one.

Looooooool Gurney

5* hendo mvg. amazing crowd.

van Gerwen's just hit a 180 - 174 - T19/bull/tops nine darter, you sick sick sicko
