The Most Nervous Darts Player In The WORLD !!!
 

This was live on TV yesterday.

I just hope this video works for everyone. Quite unreal actually. I don't think i have ever seen anyone score '5' live on tv before. And how the hell did he hit 'double 1' when trying to hit treble 20 lol.

I pretty much suck at darts but i reckon even i could have beat him. :1orglaugh

I can't believe how nutty the Scots are about Darts. I'm a half Scots and don't get it.lol. I get World Match Play Darts on TV here in Canada and have to laugh my ass off as 1000's of Scots get together to drink and watch other guys play darts. They're going absolutely nuts too.

heh been watching that too. when did darts get like pro wrestling?

I have to say I love playing cricket and 501. I started watching darts a couple years ago, I find its very dramatic and the commentators are a riot to listen to.

i love watching the average joe looking dart players. they crack me up.

Just like the rest of the world doesn't get baseball or American Football, or Australian rugby..

i dont know why i just watched 4 mins of that, they looked tied for the most part...

I love darts, i play a soft tip league every year round here. (i know soft tips are the same)

It's all over the UK actually. Not just Scotland.


The PDC (which is on Sky) is where the real money is. The BDO (bbc) which is what this game in the vid was from really is a poorer level now.

But yes, the darts sells out everywhere now in the UK. It's a battle to try and get tickets for it. I guess people just like the fact you can go and have a laugh while not supporting anyone in particular, while getting drunk at the same time.

Football (soccer) here gets boring sometimes at the game as you can't drink, and you freeze your ass off in the process...

i guess this Anthony Fleet guy will never play a 9-darter live on tv just like van Barneveld did (again) some days ago ;)

Not even if he started from 101. :1orglaugh

Eric Bristow taught me how to throw darts one drunken night in his pub in Stoke. Improved my game a thousand percent.

im not sure why i watched all that?

just no fun if you dont have 3 pints inboard

my dad bought me his fancy video in the late 80's, still have it laying around somewhere.

Check out his grip. That is what he taught me.

You need good ballast to play darts.

No double in to start?

Disagree.

wtf is soft tip

its for softies, y'know.

Probably got shit faced waiting for his round.

Same like others get crazy about football, icehockey whatever. I do agree they are going wild. :pimp

yeah, that is pretty bad

It really isn't just Scotland. It is a big deal every year in the UK and I believe it is even bigger in other European countries. It is one of those things, like the Snooker coverage, that I have never really gotten used to since moving here.

:thumbsup:1orglaugh

hahaha, i love darts especial Phil Taylor - great guy.
Feel kind of sorry for the aussie

that second guy is good, very good

I get it a lot more than I get the Canadian obsession with curling, or the Pakistan obsession with cricket. People play darts in bars. Only wieners play cricket or curling. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I also don't get the complete obsession the world (outside the USA) has with soccer, which they call football. Crazy people will kill for that sport, especially the people in the football-nutty UK!

Phil taylor would destroy anyone playing in the BDO league...

Wow! So cool, man.

Well going from "not hitting the board at all to hitting the dart board" would be an improvement... yes. Congrats :) :thumbsup

What's next? The International Jacks and Tiddlywinks Competition?

So true, Taylor is head and shoulders above everyone - the BDO is more like a second division

i want 10 minutes of my life back

I never got the soccer thing. Its slow. It lasts too long. Its girly as fuck. And the world outside of Canada and the US goes nuts for it. But they do the same thing for cricket which can last five days for one game.

It lasts 90mins. The clock runs continuously. The half time break is 15mins.

How long does an American Football game last ? And the clock stops every 5secs near enough. Plus all the commercial breaks.




How the hell did we get onto this debate again?? :1orglaugh

Yeah, but real football they don't trip, fall down, and roll around in agony while some dipshit referee holds up...wait for it...a red card. Its not about tactics, planning, big hits and strategy. Its about running around in short shorts for ninety minutes of boring nothing.

The rest of the WORLD outside the US disagrees.

I'll leave it at that... :pimp

I'd rather watch Soccer .... Champions League Anyone?


:thumbsup

nerves = drunk in this case methinks

Never liked the plastic tip game, just real darts, I have a set of 21 gram darts somewhere

That's it? because the rest of the world disagrees? It is still a boring sissy game that's only real excitement is the thugs that riot in great displays of chauvinism. Nothing to do with the game. Everything to do with national pride where even a bumfuck country can challenge a first world nation in a game that takes little skill compared to say....hockey.

Believe it or not, there IS a Tiddlywinks one. There's probably a Jacks one too given that.

Regarding this vid, how fucking horrible it must feel when mid-game with tons of points to go, you have to hear the announcer say what you just threw: 5. You wonder why it never occurred to him that he kept missing RIGHT...hell, if he moved his aim left a bit and got 20s for all those 1s, he probably would have been in business. It's not like his opponent was doing THAT well. Hell, he was AHEAD of his opponent at one point.

I'm bad at darts, but I love playing.

21 g's? Why not just throw rocks? :1orglaugh

I like playing but have not for years.

Cute avatar.

I found out I needed weight, thats why I hate the plastic ones, I could shoot those all night, but if I went to even 19 my elbow would hurt the next day. I can play darts better than pool!

The dutch finish the legs in another way ;) Check this out
