This is a situation the PDC surely did not expect so soon after Barney coming over. I'd like peoples comments on this as to what they should do as clearly there are going to be issues. To be honest if Barney didn't get into the top 32 and kept his wild card things would be easy. But now he has to be counted as an automatic qualifier. That kicks either Roy, Monk or Osbourne out of the equation. Personally I think Colin Osbourne would have made the 32 and Monk eliminated but now it looks like Barney in 31 and Roy in 32 Osbourne in 33 and Monk in 34 so who gets Barneys wild card that will now surely have to become vacant again?
Do you give in to whoever finishes in 33rd spot? Do you give it to the next Dutchman in the rankings as the reason Barney got it in the first place was because he was the Dutch Wildcard which I think was a position that was "created" so Barney would definitely get in. (keep in mind the next Dutch man in the rankings is Josephus Schenk who is in 69th spot on 80points). Do you give the Irish a wild card as this year the excuse for not giving an Irish wildcard was that Denmark were getting in. For God sake lads Denmark. Per Laursen who played in the BDO competition last year took that. Basically someone here is going to be hard done by. Personally I think whoever finishes in 33rd spot should get it but as i say thats only my opinion and I'd like to hear all your opinions on this one as its a hot ticket to have but only one can get it with only 3 outings left for automatic qualification?
Nice to see a few players from the rival organisation play in the UK Open qualifiers at the weekend without any success. Forgive me for mentioning the ignorance of one of them with his big mouth in the bar on the Saturday when he claimed he "was going to show these PDC ******** how to play". He like I and 200 others presumed did nothing afterall and had a short trek home with his tail and no money between his legs. Its all about the money or show me the money rather. Maybe he can get a job in Jerry MaGuire 2.
Anyway I have another funny story or 2 about my towns Darts League again but I'll write that tomorrow as I am tired now so keep well and be sure and post your comments about that World Championship qualifier as I welcome all opinions on this one.....Up Yours

My choice for the final automatic spot for the World Championship,would be the only man ranked between 32 and 100 beside's Barney to be a former world champion and that is Keith Deller who is ranked 40.Deller caused the biggest upset in dart's history at the time by beating Bristow in the world final of 1983 what an upset o.k. he hasn't had too many exciting moment's since then but what an achievement that was taking out the "crafty cockney".Looking outside the top 30 player's there aren't too many player's who would merit a place at the world's.Unfortunately for Ireland Mick McGowan is just going to fall short but i'm sure he will make it next year.It's only a matter of time before he break's into the top 32 in the world.There hasn't been too many upset's in the world's over the year's.In 2003 when Part beat Taylor,Sid Waddell put it down to Taylor losing too much weight-i'm surprised he didn't put it down to Taylors bleached hair!! maybe that was the case but Sid Waddell is so far up Taylor's hole it's unreal.What excuse did he have for Taylor at the world matchplay in 1996 when Peter Evision hammered him 8-1?probably said he was too heavy or when Callaby beat him at the grand prix in 2004 or Painter in 2001?Waddell always makes excuses.He is so biased towards Taylor anytime Taylor is playing on a t.v. event you can be sure Waddell is in the comentators' box there is no doubt Taylor is the greatest player of all time and deserve's all the plaudit's but Sid Waddell goes on about him to much, there are many other great player's that Waddell could go on about but he doesn't.The world ranked no.1 Colin Lloyd is rarely mentioned by him I just think sky should put a different commentator on when Taylor is playing who is not as biased as Sid Waddell.I don't think i'm the only person who thinks this as a few years ago warriner was being interviewed and took off his mic as there was so much talk about taylor he'd had enough,there are actually other players on the circuit!! One other thing,i read your previous blogs and if somebody wants to remain anonymous then that's their perogative and i noticed that the person who stated the namesake about that chap chose to use a nickname 'da irish' so he is no better.Keep up the good work!!
