True mate.What I was trying to point out was he has done a lot for promoting darts.I know he goes o.t.t.,but that is him,he won`t change.Nobody can accuse him of being boring.



Anybody who shows a bit of passion for the game,Sid,Stevo, etc seem to get lambasted.

I think he gets lambasted for his obsession with Taylor, we all know how good Taylor is and what he can do but his obsession with him and the way he talks when he's playing is frustrating. Personally I prefer it when Sid isn't commentating on Taylor. I love the way Sid is, his passion for darts is brilliant, he's put it on the map and is synonomous with it now it's just when he talks about Taylor it's a little ott.



He certainly isn't boring you're right there, I don't think we'd want him to change. From what I've seen on this board, he's being criticised for the way he commentates when Taylor plays and I can see where they're coming from.

Great performance from Scott Waites at Hull, looks in fine form to defend his crown at Wolverhampton and take away some more of the PDC's money.

He looked good yesterday but I'm not sure he'll be able to win the GSOD again.

I don't see why not. He is an extremely good darts player, and would be a great asset to the PDC.

Agree 100% look how well Chisnall. Webster, Whitlock etc have done since switching not to mention Anderson people dismiss the BDO too easily and very few players have not gone through it to a decent level and succeeded in the PDC though with them having set up the Under 21 contests that should change in future years.

Chisnall has been crap.

He's a decent player but could be really good if he moved to the PDC, I don't think he'll play well enough to defend his title and I'm sceptical about players retaining title's the year after in general (Taylor aside).

Used to play in our local league did Scott, stopped just before his GSOD win last year. Shame, wanted revenge for the 3-0 massacring I got!





On a seperate note, our Grand Prix tickets came t'other day!

Think I read somewhere after his GSOD win that his wife was ill and so he chose to stay in the BDO rather than move to the PDC

I always believed that was the reason also and if thats the case to maintain the level of play he has done is a credit to him. I am sure he will move over sometime and perhaps waiting for the decline of the likes of Taylor and Barney before moving is not such a bad thing.

Sad to hear Sid has been diagnosed with cancer, starting treatment so it could be a while before we hear him on the commentary team again. All the best for a speedy recovery
