Hey big fan of Darts, although I have not watched too much since the world championships.
My favourite players:
Dennis Priestley (met him as a kid, legend!)
Mark Webster
and Jan Dekker on BDO.
Loved both the BDO and PDC world championships, need to catch up on some darts news. Got no idea what's been going on recently!
I've never watched any darts events on television. Does ESPN or some other network broadcast them?
Do we have any followers of darts here?
If you follow darts, let us know your favourite darts players and what tournaments you watch!
Do either of you follow live darts events on television or know of any professional dart player who you've watched in the past or heard about?
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't know darts were a sport until I read about them just today! Living in a 3rd world country means we only have 1 main sport and 3-4 secondary sports people follow. The rest are completely unknown - therefore, we don't have any darts players in here.
However, it's sure fun playing yourself! I can never hit the red spot though
Darts - Those guys are true athletes... a pint, ciggy and a packet of pork scratchings in the Fox & Stork for Saturday Darts League. Okay step out the back for a ciggy... I tell you some of those old timers in the pub on a Saturday could probably rub shoulders with the pro's.
Dennis "The Menace" Priestley!
Indeed, he is a legend of darts. Doesn't play so much now as he's getting on a bit but he's still usually there at the big tournaments with the rest of the old-timers!
Glad there's a fellow darts fan around here!
LOL does anyone really think darts is a legitimate sport we should be discussing? It seems more like a skill than a sport. Where is the athleticism?
In the past maybe when a good average was 85-90.
Now the scoring is just mental 100+ . Floor tournaments (ones that are not on telly - less pressure/heat - there are some mental averages!)
A place to debate everything and anything!
