In Scotland possible in the rest of uk naw George sorry ,but hey this is just my opinion . Do you know the best 3/4 fanciers in East Scotland ,or Dundee, or pentland if you do well done , just trying to open the eyes of the world .lol
In the 70s or 80 s they were just another national winner , and I was a hell of a lot younger surrounded by nat winners in East Lothian . I am not knocking these guys and certainly not their performances just trying to point out if the results are,nt out there you won't know much about them .
I fully agree , but what the lads in the west have to understand is outside this area not many see the fed results and is mostly hearsay , And can honestly say I had never heard of them before coming through here .
Top men top club . Why you think I am more into distance racing lol . I handle these boys birds some weeks and it's told me I am not ready to take these class on at the shorter races. The Barr pigeons are the best conditioned I have ever seen .
The macs without a doubt in west , but there are a few others thru here with very good results , but still think the vandenabelle s are best the brother and I had along with the van reets but they only got 200 mls .
I have a gorgeous blue pied daughter of de Perpignan and a g/daughter of forest gump ,only bred 2 from them last year and think they are still there , Canny afford direct children lol Sure Davy will get the best out them .
Fantastic performance from Anderson , what a great final . Many years ago the guys in my old pub team (anvil Bonnyrigg) told me this new guy is the best they had ever seen I think they were correct.
Norris was very unlucky but played so well , Anderson in my opinion can only throw it away , his scoring has always been better than most but now he has sorted out his finishing don't think anybody can out play him only himself maybe .
My statement included that they are good players just the same but fact is how many could compete with pdc players , Played counties for years so no these guys are all very good players , Which one would you rather win ? Just my own opinion .
That's 2 scots and a half scot in the quarters Norris used to play for Scotland and lives I think in Perthshire , The darts have been fantastic makes the amatuer one on bbc look just that but good players just the same. Hope Anderson retains his title .
Late breds out as often as poss but all old birds on lock down , used to have Chanel birds on open hole but due to next doors cat finding it's way onto 15 ft high Sputnik have just locked them in until it finds somewhere else to play .
Anyone else had much of this ? Went out yesterday and found a hen that was paired to my best racer dead on perch no outward signs of anything and certainly not fat , that is my 5th doo in five years ! This hens sire also died suddenly aged just 4 same age as hen so could be a defect in the genes , her sire was bred of Richard Combe,s best but now worries me she maybe pass on to the 3 late breds I took of them .
Now have 4 grandchildren from euro diamond there are a lot around they must have been very busy lol you can get them for around £200 but the proof is in the breeding and the basket .
Speculate to accumulate , second pigeon is on loan for 2 seasons , really looking forward to the breeding season . Merry Xmas to all pigeon basic members .
