catmag 336 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Dunno if anyone is watching this, or even in the slightest bit bothered, but it's semi-final day and in the second semi at about 4.30 Phil Nixon is playing. He's 50-odd years old, from Durham and has never qualified for the tournament before but has managed to make his way this far. He's playing a 17 year-old Dutch bloke so it might be interesting! Go on, tell me yous don't give a shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I've got mates who go to the darts religiously each year. Not sure if its this one or the other championship though. I love the players wives tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the players wives tbh. Well the wife of this Nixon blokey looks rough as a badgers! They're playing at the Lakeside and it's all beer, tabs and heckling. Class Reminds me of going to watch my dad play when I was a kid. Actually, it reminds me of going to watch my dad play in the Cherry Tree last week...

JJ 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Nixon is playing Niels de Ruiter, who isn't the 17 year old dude, but has been a it of a surprise. He's the only Dutch guy left, and most wouldn't have predicted he'd be the last one standing from Holland! Phil Nixon is one of those happy stories of an underdog doing his best and having his day in the sun. It would be quality to see him make the final. So aye Cath, I give a shit. Love my darts.

Ah, my mistake. I was only half-listening to the telly while there was a break in the first semi. I want King to win this one but I don't think he's going to.

Adams is wearing too much Elizabeth Duke bling for my liking.. I've always hated Martin Adams. If King can hold his throw here he's right back in it. I was disappointed to see Mike Veitch go out in the 2nd round this year. He's originally from my neck of the woods, but Mervin King took him out this year. King does hold his throw. 5-4.

JJ 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Phil Nixon 4-1 up at the break. He will tire though and it'll more than likely still end up a close match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/sings] Never said I thought he'd lose. Just said the match would end up close because of stamina and he looked tired. Cosidering how he'd been finishing that 121 outshot to win the match was a fucking corker! Well done to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasepud 59 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 now the important question is he a 'proper' Makem? I need to know before I put my (rather considerable) weight behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Enjoyed the match, and well done to the bloke, but he should lose his friend who seems like a bit of a tit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
