TBF the beeb helped out the Luke layers too - stopped the vote early before YSP, if that mattered.

Unlucky army it was a great call gonna have to wait a while longer for your 2nd FOTY of the year award.

Keely was my winner in this since she crossed that line (I did post it then around the time, just for aftertime alerters)
|
|
By:
She was home and hosed soon as won 800m Stu. Would have been a travesty if Luke ( not even best darts player called Luke) had won because of a campaign rather than extraordinary performance.

Fair play GB, nice bet

By:
The Luke campaign idea was a fair one, but as said above was not about purely sporting excellence, which the voters have chosen on.

Might have to lend Army some of that cash then Brushy. That is if he’s not off to Peru to go into hiding from all the people he’s put away.

Watched back the moment the entire audience was clapping terminal ill Sir Chris Hoy and the Olympic athletes. And there are clearly 3 people not clapping on a zoom in…. The Littler family. Very poor and totally disrespectful. Can’t have done his brand any good going forward.
|
|
By:
Not sure they knew where they were
|
|
By:
It’s not a good look. Calculated ignorance as was threat to “Team Littler”.

Well done winners, the enquiry appears all mine. Combined dynamics could of had a hand, who knows !!

My mate thought Luke got booed when they introduced him. But it’s a golf chant, Luuuuuuuuuke that sounds like boooing, wonder if people took it the wrong way and thought he wasn’t liked, so didn’t bother voting.
Joe Roooooooot had the same, it’s used a lot in sport as a way of cheering them but loads of people wouldn’t know that and see it as a negative. A terminally ill Hoy then does a big speech and asks audience to clap Olympians. 8 shots of this 1 audience some standing up clapping 2 woman sat clapping 3 Jess Ennis, Kelly holmes, Tani grey clapping 4 shot 1 repeated, with more standing in foreground 5 Jason and Laura Kenny clapping 6 Littler family NOT clapping, everyone else in shot were apart from 1 right behind Luke, that is hard to notice. 7 shot 1 repeated all sat down down still clapping 8 back to Gabby few clapping in background, most not The chances are the Littlers were clapping but got shown 3/4 the way through and had stopped by then, as did the person behind them, the family was getting regularly shown during the night, so may of been unlucky timing of the director. All in all it did look bad as another mate noticed it too, Keely was literally on straight after that, so any waiting to see her VT and the rest of them before deciding who to vote for, it wouldn’t of looked good. That combined with the fake booooing would have appeared like two massive negatives for Luke, or more importantly what they thought were massive negatives, that could have affected his vote. Especially with the older viewers. Luke was also completely marmite with regular dart fans, he didn’t have anywhere near universal support that most thought he had within the sport. I’d say most couldn’t care less, from tracking loads of dart forums and Facebook darts pages. He obviously had fan pages and fan groups but my guess is, this was mostly made up of casual fans that were new to the dart scene due too Luke making the world final, these fans gradually increasing through the year with his continuing success and media exposure. His massive support base was that of younger fans, 25 and under, They simply didn’t bother to vote, as they thought he was universally loved by everyone and would easily win, Which clearly wasn’t the case, he needed every vote !! So those two massive appearing negatives on the night could have definitely cost him winning, along with so called fans not turning up, especially if the vote was close !!! Oh well hindsight and live events no one can predict all play a part in the wonderful world of specials betting, as it did with Farah. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. See you soon, after 5 months off I better go back to the day job that I love so much, was rather hoping for another 5 months off. Thanks Luke fans !! |

The under 25s don't vote on this army, nothing to do with assumptions. It's as far from jungle as you can get .
I thought this clapping thing won't have made a scrap of difference I thought he had enough obviously, but we're allowed to be wrong Congrats on a great campaign and what looks like a strong 2nd |
|
By:
The 3 vote thing may have made a difference, we'll never know. Certainly won't have helped

Keely's sister or i think it was her, put up to vote 3 times quite early on. Whether they would of voted 10/20/50/100 like i would and others is unknown, my guess it did hurt him quite a bit.
Also think the clapping did, if my mate noticed it then 100% others did..whether it was 1 vote or 100 that decided not to give him there undecided vote, it counted against him so silly to think otherwise...the shots were so slow enough for people to register it, also its what Hoy said to initiate the clap. Guaranteed they were clapping, if he was in shot 2 we would of seen it...i went to gran kids christmas do the other day, some bloke sat next to me, always clapped for 5 seconds then stopped between each set that was shown...others clapped for ages. Was unlucky but fecked him over |
|
By:
Never gonna know the vote but if there was less than 1000 in it, it cost him imo
|
|
By:
I've reviewed the footage and do not think the 'Littlers in Black' clapped at all at any stage - look at their faces, not even the hint of a smile - furrowed brow on Daddy Littler as if to say 'feck the Olympians'
|

By:
Snobs vote every time, so any negative had a dramatic effect. Especially when kids that love him can't be fecked, probably playing darts or xbox shouting down the stairs has he won yet
