The BDO world rankings have been updated, and it has led to unrest in some quarters.
Rankings in the men's and women's game have been affected this week by BDO World Trophy points coming off. Among those impacted is Jim Williams, who drops to third in the men's rolling table. Richard Veenstra sits top, with Wesley Harms narrowly behind him. Lisa Ashton, meanwhile, extends her lead atop the women's rankings. World Trophy points aren't the only ones to come off. The Bruges Open moving to September means that points earners from the May 2018 edition now see those points coming off. Welsh ace Williams was clearly unhappy with the news. He took to Facebook to voice his displeasure, suggesting a slight against him by the BDO. "So my prize for being top of the rankings has come through," he opened, sarcastically. "World Trophy points taken off without being able to defend them!" Williams went on to say: "That's 129 (ranking) points and not a thing I can do about it. Really gonna struggle to make grand slam once my 'because your name starts with a J' points come off!!!"

- Ahhh if only Jacquie dressed like this bint above, she'd still be presenting. Jacquie was absolutely fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable, immaculately attired and beautiful. It seems nowadays, females presenting on darts have to show skin and be completely clueless, relying on whoever is telling them what to say in their earpiece. I still don't understand how the walk on girls were axed, yet you have scantily clad dancers with pom poms and presenters with see through tops, clearly exposing their bra or showing more leg than that Sharon Stone film. I'll never watch ITV darts again, such a shame as it was the world leader.richieburnettrocks11-01-2026

- Have you noticed in honour of the great man ,Richie Burnett that Waitrose have designed their current carrier bags with a bright green W...very reminiscent of the shirt Richie wore in the 90s Never in the history of darts do we need a player to withdraw and provide that safety net for the greatest player in darts. Seeing as Richie Burnett is a World Champion he should have a permanent tour card.richieburnettrocks09-01-2026
- Come on big lad,you say something, delete it,so what's the beef? You lost 5-0. Did he just lose his tissue whilst crying? If you can't do it, don't. You wouldn't catch your dad wiping your nose! All the greats of the past,and a snotty kid boy who lost. Boo boo. Come on Mr Burnett,you know you agree with me!!! You are a true gentrick6707-01-2026
- What's he moaning about? His dad not letting him borrow his drill bits to throw with? Come on boy,the dartboard doesn't move,if you're like this now,best you get driving for Uber,and shut up lad. Gamesmanship is part of it,grow your hair or grow a pairrick6707-01-2026
