I dont dislike darts,I played a bit when I was young,(up to about 12 years of age) what I find disgusting is that people can actually earn a living from a nondescript hobby like darts.(and snooker)

Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something

As per before. If you don't like Darts then don't post about it.

The 1980's called, they want their stereotype back.

More like the 70s.

It was 1989 when players were specifically banned from drinking alcohol on stage by the BDO. Must admit, I thought it was earlier than that.

Well that has taught me something today Lord P, I would have said early 70's to be honest.



How is it disgusting? If someone can make money out of something they are good at then why not. If you could get paid for being a moran i'm sure you would be very rich. Do antique dealers disgust you too because they make money out of a hobbie?

Great shout.

antiquedealers aren't trying to con the public into thinking their job is a "Sport" like the dart players do.

Shouldn't you be getting ready to go back to school ?

I'm sure Phil Taylor is really ar$ed what you think

Watched [iBellies and Bullseyes[/i on ESPN Classic last night. Not having Sky, I'd forgotten what an annoying prick Sid Waddell is.

Under stacker , over stacker, side stacker thats all the silly idiot says as long as he can put the word stacker on the end he will say it

Anything that gives him an excuse to kiss the backsides of the Stoke mafia and he's happy.

I bet Lewis can't wait until Taylor retires and he gets to become commentator's pet.

I watched the 1982 BDO Final betwen Bristow and Lowe. The memories of smoking and drinking on stage.

I saw a similar one although I cant remember the year It was Bristow v Jockey Wilson getting pished at the same time with the smoking "mist" in the background

To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered.

Good morning child. How are you ?

Bristow throwing with his cig still on the go always raises a chuckle from me.

It was Eric V Bobby George last night.

Bobby George and his array of rings.

Bobby George - only man to win the old News Of The World Tournament without dropping a leg
He'll be lost without Stubbsy, sorry - Raymond - at the Lakeside in January

He'll be fine.

I would rather be a child than a doddering old Darts watcher...I wonder how you can stand that enormous rush of adrenalin when someone throws a triple 20.







Still I suppose you have to be a "walking deadman" if darts is all that excites you.why not try Croquet or maybe chess?something with a bit of substance in it.
