Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted November 17, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted November 17, 2018 Gary Anderson & Wesley Harms deny farting accusations at Grand Slam of Darts 9 hours ago | Darts Some athletes blame poor performances on the state of the pitch. Others blame it on tactics, or perhaps just a bad day at the office. But blaming your opponent for farting is definitely a new one. Yet that's exactly what happened at the Grand Slam of Darts in Wolverhampton, with both Gary Anderson and Wesley Harms denying responsibility for the "rotten egg smells". Two-time world champion Anderson, 47, won Thursday's match 10-2 to progress to the quarter-finals, but Dutchman Harms, 34, was quick to explain his sub-standard performance by accusing his Scottish opponent of leaving a "fragrant smell". He told Dutch TV station RTL7L: "It'll take me two nights to lose this smell from my nose." We must get to the bottom of 'fartgate', jokes darts chief Hearn World number four Anderson was not best pleased by the accusation, saying the smell had definitely come "from the table side" at the Aldersley Leisure Village. "If the boy thinks I've farted he's 1,010% wrong. I swear on my children's lives that it was not my fault," he said. "I had a bad stomach once on stage before and admitted it. So I'm not going to lie about farting on stage. "Every time I walked past there was a waft of rotten eggs so that's why I was thinking it was him. "It was bad. It was a stink, then he started to play better and I thought he must have needed to get some wind out. "If somebody has done that they need to see a doctor. Seemingly he says it was me but I would admit it." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/darts/46245993 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman 5,938 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Read about this . Apparently he said he was playing poorly, guffed on stage and then must have felt better so won. It’s not quite Lineker shitting on the sacred turf but must be off putting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panna King 1,012 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Barney has announced he is quitting next year after the Worlds. Five-time world darts champion Raymond van Barneveld says he will retire after the 2020 PDC World Championship. The 51-year-old Dutchman, known widely as 'Barney', is one of only three players to win five world titles. He won the British Darts Organisation (BDO) title in 1998, 1999, 2003 and 2005 before moving to the Professional Darts Corporation and beating Phil Taylor in the 2007 final. "I noticed in myself that I can't keep up any more," said Van Barneveld. "I know what I can do but it's just not been happening for the past three or four years, apart from winning the World Cup with Michael [van Gerwen]. "Next year is going to be my 35th year of playing darts at the highest level and it's going to be my last year. "I'm not winning tournaments any more. I don't know why but a lot of things have happened in my private life and I've also noticed that my body isn't feeling 100% any more. I don't have the drive, motivation or fitness to carry on. "I'm a winner, that's what I do - I lift trophies but I can't do it any more. Maybe there are still a couple of titles left in me and that would be amazing - but I can't do this every week.

Yea Barney is a great guy but has not been the same since he had some huge trouble outside of Darts which really knocked his confidence over the years, real shame otherwise he would of won alot more.

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Some dickhead launched a pint at Michael Van Gerwen this evening. That’s why I canned it this year and didn’t bother buying tickets. Last year was full of dickheads who can’t handle a pint. No surprise it’s gone like this.

Still, you’re nice and positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to ride a pogo stick whilst also baking a cake and spinning plates. Doesn't make it a good sport. Whilst yes, it does take many hours of practice and skill Darts in a nutshell is an awful sport. It's foundation was as a bit of a past-time as opposed to being anything recreational and the main pull of going to the Darts is for the party and piss up, not actually watching the bloke on stage throw things about.

The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Darts is a enjoyable watch if you have money on it. Just like horse racing. Without money I find it a bore. They've done a great job with creating the atmosphere in recent years. As Smiley has alluded too though, the pendulum is swinging a bit too far and it's attracting the wrong sort of idiots.

Guest Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 It's brilliant what Fallon sherrock has done. I'm not sure if men have of an a physical advantage with darts but there is definitely a social advantage so it is harder for women darts players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
