Loved Rod Harrington getting het up remember recording the Harrington and Manley match on my sky multiroom box and getting puffy and het up from laughing so much
@robbies14 Same as snooker, pool and many other sports. It's a sport, just not a physical sport. It involves targets and a scoring system. It's a sport.
if you look up the video, john lowes 9 darter" you will hear the commentary saying , the first ever televised 9 dart finish, on tv , thats why they gave him £100.000 , and if you read some of the comments, on that page , you will see that im not the only one to rember it live ..
Golf is nothing compared to darts. In darts great crowds and exciting players and in general alot more fun and for me you have to be decicated to both sports!
@Wesleyyz At this point they did not hate each other.. i think they were actually friends, it was the time of the 2007 world championship they hated each other because of mason disrespecting phil taylor on stage after he lost 4-0
@Thekingofpop1958 It meant that he won the three big titles on the tour that year. The world championship, the World Matchplay and the third,...oh I forgot it :-(
i though that john lowe, was the first to get a 9 dart live finish, back in the 80,s when he was playing keith deller, october13 . 1984, that won him £i00,000,
unlucky by manley, i thought with how many tournaments hes been in and how close hes got to winning loads of them i would have thought that hed of had one by now.
@robbies14 Why isn't it a sport? Who says you have to get all sweathy and be overpaid for it to be a sport. This is a sport. Chess is a sport. Snooker is a sport.
sorry about that , comment , i think that there might have bein a guy with a Irish name to do it first,,,,,, cant rember his name , was a lot of pints ago.....
@MrChriswoodsuk Better in the way that the 3 dart averages are about 15 less than the PDC. Better in the way that the checkout percentages are generally under 40%. Better in the way that Wolfie, who rules the BDO, wouldn't live with the PDC players? The BDO is nothing more than a stepping stone for the PDC. Snap back to reality mate.
I can walk as far as a footballer runs in 90mins. A sport is something that is usually competitive in nature whereby the outcome is determined by the ability of a physical action. Snooker, darts and tiddly winks are sports. Chess, poker and backgammon aren't.
@LukePettit nice rationale but anything where you can weigh 350lbs drink beer and involves walking no more than two feet at a time is not a sport, this is a game. Golf is more a sport than this. Tiddly winks!!! my god you darts people are crazy!!!
ekRevolver until 2007 I agree. Standard started dipping around 05, 06. But there are what ifs: if Hankey played the way he played to win the 2000 BDO in the PDC, could he have won it?
