Topic: Darts thread

[Rotation]

General Football and Sport

[toga]

And so it starts again.    Everyone knows what the game of darts is. The debate is about the meaning of 'sport', and 'sport' obviously can be defined in ways that do encompass darts, and in ways that don't. So both sides are right, both sides are wrong, or the debate is pointless. I vote for pointless.

As the thread can't be more clearly described in its title, you entered it with your eyes open. If you do a search for 'darts', you'll find several more threads to which to add your constructive post.

Draw on soon were the big guns come out to play

Anastasia Dobromyslova playing Robert Thornton (former BDO world number one) at the moment in the UK Open at the Reebok. She started well, nearly went 3 - 1 up, now slipping a bit. It's now 2 - 4. First to 6.

The commentators have said that she throws like a man, without explaining what they mean.

Fit her, unlucky to go out aswell.

Yeah thats going to be a cracker, as is VDV against Lloydy whos playing well again!
 Danny King who lost to Preistley yesterday, he beat me in the last grand prix I played in! bit of a cock sometimes, hes gettin married when were out in Vegas! Keep an eye out for my name at the Dessert classic, im throwin well at the moment and if I get a decent draw in the qualifiers who knows!

[MoSzizlak]

Fit her, unlucky to go out aswell.

She was unlucky not to win, only lost 6-5 cos yer man had the darts in last leg. She's a very quick player.

P.S Very cute as well

Bit gutted that they've shifted the rounds so there's less games on the Saturday but still looking forward to it - my favourtie event to attend (so long as you can cope with the trampled feet and extreme heat!)
