but I find it a pathetic game (not sport), can`t understand how excitable the people watching are.
That Drac bloke is irritating, as are the commentators and that `M.C` who has the great catchphrase of LETS...... PLAY...... DARTS..............

1 the people watching are excited cause theyre drunk, very drunk - no other reason

2 youve obviously watching BDO which is the football equivelent of watching a league 2 match and declaring football boring!

3 darts is a sport if snooker and bowls are. i draw the line at anything you do sitting down, ie chess, poker etc

hope this helps

The BDO isn't the best advert for it - PDC miles better.

Pub game at the end of the day, same as snooker bring back the days when you could smoke and drink on stage.

Two ruling bodies for darts, pmsl. That worked really well for chess.

Get back to me when you sort it out, fat men.

^ Just about sums it up tbf. Anyone**ging it off for 'just being a pub sport' should try & play it themselves & see how many 180s they hit.

It's a superb sport and, played at its highest level (see Taylor v Whitlock in PDC final for example) is tremendous viewing.

I won £110 in my last season in 1996 from fellow team members (£10 a man at the start of the season) for going the longest without a defeat in 501 singles matches. I got to 13 before I got beaten.

A pleasing result at the time.

Not too happy in 1994 to be leading the Secretaries Cup final by 3-0 and going down 5-4, it was the only trophy that season that my team never won, and fack me, did I get abuse for it. :(

I blamed Courage Directors bitter :)

For anybody who doesn't like or watch darts - I'll lay Henderson all day.
