Steve Maish

After my nap went down on SUnday due to Mayo cocking me up i went off and got drunk for the laugh so hopefully the Dubs and co. will sort them out between now and September.
Went on a cruise today and got me farmers tan all browned up but i also brought my darts rankings folder with me and while i was studying this i noticed something significent.
Steve Maish may or may not know this but because he is in 25th position in the world at the moment but he needs to be in the top 24 in the world to qualify for the Grand Prix in the Citywest. That he knows i'm sure but while i was looking at it today i saw that Bob Anderson is currently in the 24th spot and in pole position for the citywest automatically. However the ranking system is based on 2 year stints so basically you defend in 2006 the points you won in 2004 so this means that in order for Steve to qualify in 24th he must do it with one tournament to go. The Irish Open in Castlebar in 2 weeks is the cut off point.I saw that Steve must get to the semi and Bob cannot go further than the 2nd round......good news Steve. Bob will be in Florida and has GAMBLED HEAVILY on you not doing that so now i make it that the Quarters will do you so it'll go to the wire i think....Literally.
Last year after the Irish Open 3 players were tied in 24th Spot. Mason,Williams but getting in on a 6 tournament count back was Wes Newton and this year could be that close too.
Although i deal with Bob a good bit i would not begrudge Steve the spot. Although i dont deal with him now he was involved in the very first Exhibition i ran which was with Wozza and raised over a grand for charity so i do like to see him do well even for that. I do think Bob's gamble might come back to bite him in the ass though coz Maish is very capable and a different player on the floor than on TV.
I'm home on Friday morning though sure i'm sure i'll have had loads of crap through my letter box.
Liverpool for the champions league again.
