Belgium becomes the latest country to host a PDC TV major, as the European Championships take place across this weekend in Hasselt. Two sessions today will complete the first round, including MVG beginning the defence of his title against Jeffrey de Zwaan, Vincent van der Voort getting the chance to repeat his WGP exploits by dumping out Taylel (before going to shit in the next round), yet another first round meeting between Michael Smith & Gerwyn Price, and ‘stereotypical Scot A’ v ‘stereotypical Scot B’ as Robert Thornton takes on John Henderson. So grab a crate of Stella & some waffles, build a statue of a kid having a piss, and fap furiously to pictures of Dana Huybrechts, because it’s time for some arrers (and there’s fuck all else to do in Belgium). Ad breaks, Ned Boulting, and Chris Mason’s ridiculous shirts are on air on ITV4 from 12:45UK, with the evening session from 19:00UK.
