I used to love watching the darts. Been to Ally Pally and Circus Tavern to watch and it’s a great night out. But I’ve just not really watched it in recent years. The quality is better these days and Littler is an insanely talented player, but I just don’t find it entertaining anymore. Maybe it’s the characters? I dunno. I think I’ve just lost the bug.
I tried watching a match the other day and just couldn’t generate any interest. I found the thing I noticed the most was the stupid way the caller shouted 180 in a weird overly long escalating pitch which, for some reason, pissed me right off.
I’m kind of jealous of you lot, because I used to really love it. Oh well. I guess I’ll just have to fall back on the entertainment titans that are Charlton Athletic! 🙄
It doesnt feel the same this year without Wayne Mardell on co-comms
I’ve been watching highlights on YouTube and the commentary sounds so lifeless this year. Dan Dawson is only one who sounds excited by what’s going on.
30 to 35 visits at a rough guess, and my first nine darter. Absolutely magnificent. With the boy as well, first trip at 6, he's 20 now, fair to say we had a little bounce about
Woodhouse's reaction to the 9-darter was great too, what theatre!
that was great - the view from the dart board that showed him cheering with the crowd as each of those last 3 darts went in was great. Fair play to the fella

Cross v Williams could be a cracker too.
Is this in deference to those who intend to watch the highlights on 'Darts Match of the Day' without knowing the results later?

I didn't want to ruin it for anyone that had recorded it and knew that you can always google the scores.
It's always the same, it's part of Xmas for us.
If you like drinking lager, having a sing song, partying and watching the best darts players once a year then it's brilliant.
I've never seen any trouble there apart from the one or two ejected in 15 years for being overly boisterous.
Heta then took a 3-sets-to-1 lead ... before losing 9 (NINE) consecutive legs to lose 4-3.
