  1. He scored 4 in the first leg, and 3 in the second. And he was third highest scorer in the final of the 2022 SoN2.
  2. Brennan IS good enough, he DOES have experience at this level, and he just showed he can compete.
  3. And we know how difficult it is coming in that late when everyone else has been riding all night...
  4. Yeah, there won't be much, if any. You might find some newsreel footage that would include a clip of him, but that's all.
  5. But you're using the term, "made sense". You KNOW that clearly doesn't apply'.
  6. Yeah, Woffinden shouldn't be there. Total has-been. Bomber would have been a much better choice.
  7. Better bloody hurry up, then! At least you didn't say Poole...
  8. Well, Dan proved that it's possibly to pass - even if it was Lind-at-the-back...
  9. Back in 2008, I was rushed into hospital with high blood pressure. Seems it's a genetic problem, and my doctor put me on Beta Blockers and lisinopril-HCTZ. The following year (while i was still playing darts professionally), I was named on the US team for the World Cup. So, I checked the list of banned substances to make sure I was okay. Beta blockers are a prohibited substance as they are "performance- enhancing". HCTZ is a diuretic, which makes it a prohibited substance; diuretics are often used as a "masking agent". So, I got my doctor to change my prescriptions. Now, with your comment about pharmacists in mind, I was taken aback to discover that my doctor was shocked at the idea of my prescriptions being on the banned list. Even though I don't compete anymore, I recently told my new doctor about the HCTZ (she has put me back on it), and she was just as shocked that it's banned. It surprises me that there are so many people competing in sport these days - sports that have to abide by the WADA prohibired substance list - yet doctors have no idea what is and isn't okay.
  10. Ain't gonna happen. It was the most flawed system we've ever had ..
  11. Right, it's the World Championship; it's not a training scheme to blood up-and-coming riders!
  12. Exactly! That's why I don't understand people banging on about, "WE NEED NEW FACES"!
