A great player. RIP Jocky Wilson.

A bit of a shame the likes of Jocky and Bristow were past their best by the time of the great split as they did more than most to get the likes of Harrington, Taylor and Priestley the chance to make big bucks out of the game and although they might have had to take a more professional attitude to the sport but boy would it have been good to see their likes in the Premier League environment (and Leighton Rees) if only they could and some of the current crop could have all been at the top of their game at the same time it would really be Darting Eutopia.

We are unlikely to see his like again and I guess we should be grateful that we enjoyed flawed geniuses such as Jocky and Alex Higgins as all future "bad boys" will be nothing in comparison.

But despite knowing that they were coming to the end of their careers, Wilson and Bristow were at the forefront of the split. Sport before personal gain and self-aggrandisement, something you could never accuse Ollie Croft of.

Review of Cosmo 'fit flight system'

O.K. this is an initial review as i've only thrown with them for half an hour, thought i'd put some thoughts down though

First up, fantastic service from Elite Darts.com....very happy with the service provided, i'll be mentioning them to friends and will be ordering products from there in the future, thanks to Dave Shaw for his help with ordering.

O.K. the actual system itself, well as mentioned I have only thrown with them for a short while, but can draw some conclusions straight away

The actual flight is AMAZING! what a high quality product, perfect right angles and even after half an hour of bashing into one another not a mark, they are well worth the extra money.........

However, the shafts...work needs doing, Cosmo really need to offer more variety on the choice on offer, currently we are really limited to what we can throw with...really not a fan of slim shafts, I like my shafts to be an extention of the dart, this resulted in my darts going low in the board.......maybe I can adjust, but I don't really want too. The Gripper 2 by Unicorn and similar shafts whilst fragile as you china with a bull in your shop are really solid to throw with....hopefully Cosmo are working on this

However that aside, very happy with the product bought, good service and I really admire Cosmo's innovation into the darts market.

POSTED THIS ON FACEY TODAY...anyone played with Cosmo products?

What do you think of Lewis`s strop? He will be complaining next that someone farted in the audience and blew his dart off course.
Don`t get me wrong,I like his style of play,but he needs to lighten up a bit.

He just continues to prove why I can't stand him.

Who is the gorgeous tall blonde that accompanied Simon Whitlock tonight wearing the milk maids outfit ?

Re: Another Darts Thread : Sat Apr 28, 2012 8:28 pm  

I see Painter felt he had the brush off from Wade.He seemed to bristle over the fact he didn`t go for an interview.He didn`t gloss over it either.I wonder if he wanted to put Wade on the canvas?

Re: Another Darts Thread : Thu May 10, 2012 7:48 pm  

Great comeback from Whitlock tonight to put out Lewis. Also Hamilton's done well to qualify as well. All to play for now with wade and barney taking to the stage.
