Day 6 Darts: World Championships

Hello, I am over here. Good afternoon, welcome to the private

players area at the Lakeside, a very special day and there is a

pro-am competition, the BDO family come together and fans get a plate

with players. Wesley Harms is here, Alan Norris, much more laid-back.

Are you still here? Amnesty is here, getting ready for her semi-final. -

- and Nastasia. Every player getting in contact with the fans.

Darryl Fitton has a quarter-final coming up but he is still getting

involved. And Sharon Prins, the first time at the Lakeside, the

family coming together. We have so much coming up for you but it is

really all about the last four second-round games and Bobby George

is here. What is in the tie today? Look at that. Do you see that?

that. "That's the way to do-it-" is from Punch and Judy. The first time

I wore a shirt, I had Punch on my back and he was the first cartoon

character. I didn't choose Mickey Mouse, I used that and I used to

say "That's the way to do it" but they told me off, the Society of

Punch, because I had him around the wrong way. There is a story every

day to start the show off. Hang on, if you are Kadler to punch...

you are Judy. Let's see what is coming up.

Richie George is aiming to make the quarter-finals. 148 years after his

dad last played here. But he faced the young lad who knocked out

Martin Adams, Jimmy Hendriks. Garry Thompson's difficult to draw

continued as he faced the No. 7 seed, Jan Dekker.

Irish qualifier Jason Cullen was hoping for a crazy night as he

faced off against Hartlepool's Paul Jennings.

Kurtz divorce was trying to prolong his sake, not just himself but his

wacky band of fans. But he would have to beat the favourite for the

title, the one and only Scott Waites, in round two. And that is

the game we are going to start with. They queue for tuning in, we are

going to concentrate not on Scott Waites, but instead, Lakeside's

most famous Belgians, who is? the Boss. Incorrect, it is Jackie.

It is amazing what I'm seeing here. All of the Belgian players. But the

one I want to see here on that Game and the third set, kit the

Boss. I have known him for about 10 years. We played in the same team.

He was the better player and he's a very good player. I was captain and

I fell down from the 4th floor. It was almost finished with me. The

vicar came to me. Am very lucky to be here.. After I did it, I looked

at myself at home and sometimes, it is a little bit of embarrassment.

But it is a crazy game, darts. and the match, Geert De Vos. I am a

player and a coach and I know when a player is very good, but he is so

good, I promise you. He will go on. It is fun. Life is not some time so

fun, but this is really fun and I took the first set but we've joined

for Scott Waites. He has got past COLIN MURRAY: I am really happy

that Scott went through, but I will miss Jackie, last night in the bar,

bed at that stage. They are a lot of fans who like their Lakeside as

much as they players. There is a deft touch girl who is here for the

first time ever. Yes, she used to have a sequinned top, I haven't

seen her this year. And you had the Bobby George army. Yes, I used to

have all the girls dress up. The booby girls, they used to call it.

OK, we will move on from that. I am a little bit worried about Scott

Waites. He is through. But here's a guy who is the genuine article and

he can hold his own against anyone. You have seen in this year, so why

when he gets up to the doubles...? when he gets up to the doubles...?

Have a look at this. There is the proof right there. His first nine

averages 105, but it is not unusual to see Scott Waites on other stages

average over 100, but he is down under 90 a gay. -- again. But he

has the game are to raise their game. He can raise his game and a

game. He can raise his game and a lot of players get to the point

where that they can't, but he can. If you do him, he comes back at you,

but he doesn't seem to perform as well as it does when he plays in

the PDC on this stage. A I was thinking about that, because there

are talk about the different atmospheres, I have been to the

Ally pally many times, and you will saying that she will chant as the

players are throwing. They are still very strict about whistling

when somebody throws a dark, it happens to Phil Taylor. -- baht.

But when people are talking a whole time, there is not a lot of

pressure. Is the silence more tense? Does it build more nerves?

If you can hear behind you, you don't play so well. That is when

you don't. You hear something and you are not playing well... If you

are playing well, you don't care what is happening or hilly shouting

out. But I don't like it when they are going for a double and somebody

shouts, it is not sportsmanship. Scott is in there, we will catch up

with the other three second-round games from last night but we

already know two of the quarter- finals. These are happening tonight

and we will have highlight some around -- at around 11 o'clock.

Than at the bottom, we are entering the land of the Giants. They played

in 2010 and Tony O'Shea, despite being the heavy favourite, only 1

3-2. It is a lot the format tonight, Robbie Green against Tony O'Shea.

to Darryl Fitton yesterday, it is always nice, but he has not been

passed the first round for many years. As we keep saying, it is

more dangerous, and he has the game. He has got the game. If he plays

like he did in the other game, scoring heavily and finishing

straight away, no messing about. 42%. That is pretty good, any

player would like that. We should explain, if you hit one of the

three, anything above that means you are doing it on your first

visit. Lovely. He has the game to do that. If he plays like that,

Wesley Harms will be in trouble. the last round, he managed and 88

average, what really impressed me about Darryl Fitton when he took

out Stephen Bunting is he started with an average of 89 and it got

better, apart from the third set. If you start off well, you can do

it as you go along. If you start off badly, you start struggling. If

he can bully when he starts, he can beat him up. Talking about bullying,

a quick word on Robbie Green versus Tony O'Shea? Robbie Green is

playing well, to be honest. Tony O'Shea needs to put his game

together. I'm looking forward to that one. We already know that

Definitely! Thank you, Rob. No doubt Scott

Waites will be a heavy favourite for that quarter-final but Paul

Jennings has been in that situation and he knows what it is like to

play in the quarter-final over that format, and you get the feeling he

has more in the tank. He has got a lovely flow, at tidy player, very

dangerous. He has got his work that out. Scott will have to lift his

game and play more like we see him play outside of the Lakeside.

a great darts player, he throws them right, but pressure, nice and

straight all the time. That is the difficult thing. When a player

plays the same way all the time, you have to lock your game. By last

couple of days, we have been doing workshops. Steve Douglas for

showing how to follow through. You were showing us a double 16 is the

dartboard or just played down the pub. It is the first thing you ever

told me to do. The reason he is dressed up today, last night he

thought we were doing a feature on groupies, but when not, it is on

grouping. The thing is, everyone who gets a set of darts wants to

hit 180 and be a champion straight away and it doesn't happen. You get

that dartboard up, get it the right height and length and you throw a

dark and you group for darts. You learn to group them, it doesn't

matter where, as long their shoe group them together. The players at

the highest level naturally remember the mechanics. If the

first one is good, the second one will come off the barrel and the

best players, when that first dart goes in the treble 20, that is when

you get excited because if they can group properly, you will be in and

around the lipstick. You must rip your darts. But don't try and score

well. -- Group. Why Chu told me was thrown your first dart and no

roughly in the same area, that is how you score. When you grip the

dark, you get the big scores. important is it to relax? Sometimes

when I throw my first dart, I twitch, and under pressure. It is a

game of nerves, you get nervous because you do not want to lose. If

you want to practise at home, you do not need to get nervous playing

with your mother, you grit your darts together, half the distance,

keep doing the same in your head. We are on national television, I'm

sweating. So you would say you throw. Two out of three. Not at all.

Been practising. Yesterday, you had to buy me dinner. You want to go

again? Three darts each. Whoever gets the highest score or get their

report for them. I will go first. He was so annoyed yesterday. What a

chance! Not again! I cannot believe it. Clear the darts. Do I go down

dinner tonight. Lobsters and Which? Yes. Lovely stuff, let's get back

to the second round action. I am to the second round action. I am

been off-form for nine months. did not play well but he did the

get together with members of the press and amateur players and they

play a lovely tournament. Every year, we cannot play net so for the

next couple of minutes, we are going to have a pro amateur

tournament. There was not so much pressure to win, I did not care if

I did win or lose but it is a big relief to get it off your back and

cannot always be serious but hopefully I will bring a bit more.

player, he does everything right and prepares right, the same with

all the Dutch, they look at the game professionally and that is

what you have to do. You cannot just have been a joke about it, you

have to take it seriously. Hopefully it will be a good

atmosphere and hopefully we can give them what they want. From

What a match at this guy was part of last night, what is it about you

and Garry Thompson that it always goes to the wire? I think it is

because I am a slow starter and I am always down. Two years ago I was

40 down and I won the match. Yesterday was the same, I was

three-down and I won 4-3, fantastic. When you got five or six legs, you

must have thought the game was over but he managed to come back. It was

ups and downs and the crowd thought he would win and everybody thought

I would win, but there were ups and downs and I was the lucky one!

Richie's match? I saw him play against my friend, Jimmy Hendriks.

It was also a game with a lot of ups and downs but his scoring

have a great opportunity to win. Are you a little bit wary of him

I can beat him. I think you are very up for that match, good luck,

Good luck to him, he is well-liked. Bobby, take it off at. -- offered.

Last time we played him, you beat him. The last time was in December

but he is playing better, he struggled for a while but he has

been -- for a while but he is finishing really well. And the

have got to put them both together. The said that before, it your game

from this game? -- you said. same, he is also a fast player. I

hopefully will play with more rhythm but I will not change my

game. I will play at my own pace and he will do what he will do. We

played each for the last month so we know how we play and hopefully

it will be a good game. You can enjoy yourself tonight, not too

much, and get ready for the game tomorrow. So many players do it

different ways, some quarter- finalists will be part of the

taking you away. I go away and do my own thing and relaxed but when I

am not playing, I will sit down here. You have to do what you are

comfortable with. Hopefully I can prepare right and be all right for

tomorrow night. The only downside of reaching the quarter-finals was

that in the athlete's village, there was a shop for athletes in

the Olympic village and I bought -- and Dave bought a great top and I

said I would give it to you if you reached the quarter-finals. I

thought it was safe. Being Bobby's boy, everybody has something they

want to come to you about. Everybody comes up to you and talks

to you, giving you advice. Who do you value the most? Truthfully?

Colin and games at the moment. I do listen to Dad, he thinks I do not.

-- James. He is still my Dad and not a lot of people listen to their

Dad so you need somebody else he was part of that environment.

Without him, I would not be here. That is very true, well done, Bobby.

Isn't he a lovely little boy? time! I am sorry, I take up his

mouth, I tried. This is the draw for the quarter-finals. These are

And these are tonight's games. Darryl Fitton against Wesley Harms.

Robbie Green against Tony O'Shea. We think the world of the two big

men, let's find out what they think about each other.

I beat my chest when I am playing well, I am I saw for back -- a

silver back. There is another reason I got back gain. My nickname

is Kong, one of the women from Merseyside Nick to name --

nicknamed me. She had bother one time in Newcastle and I came

storming in and pulled this man away from her and she said, it was

like King Kong! Like ancient song is hey, babies. -- might entrance

song is hey, babies. -- Hey, baby. I heard it on a jukebox in Germany.

Status quo. I am not into them, it is to get the fans going. One of

the first players I saw on TV was later lease and he had a lovely

slow and smooth action and he was a hero. A lot of people say my throat

reminds me of him -- reminds them of him. -- throw. I do not move my

body much, I speed up and the game but I do not do it naturally. I

have not tried to work on it. favourite is double 16, it is nice

for a right-handed player and you have the get-out clause of the

double eight. People who go for double 10 or 20, sometimes, that

double five can be a nightmare so number 16 is my favourite. Double

18, of double 16. I like to try and hit them all! When I practised

before a match, I do not play a special game, I just get my

shoulders loose -- I practice. I eat breakfast and that is usually

the last thing I eat, that might be nerves, I do not know. Liquid

refreshment in the afternoon just to loosen the arms. I have an hour

or relaxing in my room and I read or watch a bit of television. Icon

down and I practised -- I'd come down. I have a couple of drinks and

I set off to the venue. I am trying to get a couple of hours earlier to

the venue than in previous years and that seems to be working.

Really looking forward to this and we will have highlights of the two

semi-finals from 11:20pm tonight on BBC Two, and back tomorrow at 1pm

for extended highlights of those games. Bobby, you think Robbie

Green has a genuine chance. I do, he explained could, he is up for it.

Tony is not playing a bad but he has not the player he used to be,

it not as high scoring, so I would go for Robbie Green. We will have

the best of nine, you imagine we will see at least eight when Robbie

has his nose in front, Tony will come back and vice versa, it will

be a tight battle. He it will be tight but I think he will have the

edge, he is big but he seems to be fitter this year for some reason.
