The Heat imo

[Flushdraw]

The Heat is a fucking hero, dont you dare speak ill of him

Why is that? What's he done to tickle your fancy?

He is up there alongside Johnny Archer in the 'best sporting nicknames ever' category

[CHDad]

Dolan has shown up.

[Valor]

jesus I cant believe thats Andy Fordham

[Starvin Marvin]

I know what you mean, and there will definitely be the odd upset.

But when Dennis Ovens against a qualifier is the last game of the night then I think theres a case for saying that the tournament quality is being diluted by having a 72 player tv stage.

The Heat is a hero, cult following similar to this guy.

[DAMO72]

Dolan has shown up.

I remember owning him in a team event years ago

[Ace]

Yes have capt in FF for form and not value, should ship double points on Cahill

who else do you have that played and costed more than cahill and has worse form

[Starvin Marvin]

Takes years of practice to pwn the Wexford boys. I'l be running a school soon and i'll book you in. $600 for the class and guranteed you'll make at least double that over 12 months

I learned my trade on the Northside.

Usually has the best of it and holds from what I have seen on here.

60-40 arent meant to hold 100% of the time though imo.

[hotspur]

maybe someone might know how much practice is needed to get good at darts? years?

like if you took someone who had never played before how long would it take, assumin they have no innate talent for the game,

also why are the majority of darts players overweight? due to the nature of the practice and is a sport based around being in the pub and slamming back pints

I dunno but I played at home a lot when I was a kid because my dad used to be very into the game. My overriding impression is that it's an easy game the standard of which should be way higher than it is.

I could be talking crap but I think the game should be possible to play close to flawlessly, but that it isn't because the people who play it are depressed, overweight, alcoholic wife beaters with the discipline of a puppy with ADHD.

The board doesn't move, the targets aren't that small. When you consider what those pistol shooting type people in the Olympics do where they keep their hand completely steady and slow their heart rate down hugely to hit a tiny target.

I remember in the 80s when these slobs used to skull pints while playing. That says it all to me. The game should be unplayable imo.

[CHDad]

Dennis Ovens was in Wexford once obv. Starstruck lads?

What a load of waffle , youve no idea how much practise or dedication these guy's have to put in to play at this level .

Yep, you are.

[hotspur]

I also imagine that the average IQ of a darts player is around 90, and there is a correlation between intelligence and hand-eye co-ordination. They are little more than dogs.

hotspur i hope you're on a gigantic level here because this, and your other darts post is complete and utter tripe.

[CHDad]

Sorted.

LOL,

I once scored 501 with one throw

SPOILER

porcupines FTW

[hotspur]

And let's not forget that there's a correlation between being overweight and fine motor control so no darts player who is overweight can be considered to have the right kind of dedication. No-one is disputing that they spend several hours a day throwing spikes into a board in their local pub.

[White Knight]

2.45 hours journey home Tallaght to Sandford. I do it in 15 mins on a Sunday - least I had newstalk to keep me somewhat sane

[Flushdraw]

I don't get the Denis Ovens love. Fantastic nickname alright, but one of the most boring matches i ever had the misfortune of tuning in to watch was Denis Ovens v Dennis Smyth. It was worse than getting a tooth pulled!

[Icarus152]

Shiraz,photoshoppery and dart player denegration.Does it get ant better then this?

Carry on please.

Darts >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cricket

[chips1234]

lol love this ref just turns a blind eye to all city's handball appeals

[Bubbleking]

I think Darts are a lot like poker as in you don't really need to have any natural talent to be great (obv it helps) but I think time spent practicing is probably the number 1 determinant

[Denny Crane]

Very different in fairness.

[KevIRL]

Darts isnt a sport though. Thats like comparing Trival Pursuit to Rugby

[SatNav]

great Now the toilets wont flush! 5 yr old pipes up "mam i need to make a poo"
Life sucks and no sign of that other fucker!

[Solskjaer]

Hotspur is being very unfair as for a lot of the players the dartboard is actually moving.

[Emmet]

Could they not have subbed Coleman 6 minutes earlier?

[hotspur]

Hotspur is being very unfair as for a lot of the players the dartboard is actually moving.

And on the rare occasions when they're not drunk half of them start chucking their darts while they are still walking up the the ocky anyway. No setting themselves for these dogs.

Come on Everton, hold ffs.

[tipp86]

Lads the GFs grandfather seems to be on deaths door. We are stuck in Toronto and as you can imagine the price of flights home in the next 3 days are mental. Will the insurance cover it do ye think?

She is covered up to 2k for curtailment.

I assume this would come under there terms. Is grandfather close enough relation?

[White Knight]

3-2 down in the FF cup this week was dreading tonights game being called off - had 2 Everton players (cahill/coleman) against 1 city defender (toure - lol) and 1 Everton player on subs bench (coleman) ... would have been sick to go out on a 3-2 ff score in the 1st round of the cup

[chips1234]

Now I wonder if the professor was Hitchhiker?

[The Situation]

LOL I was 6-5 up in the cup with two players playing tonight. My opponent had none playing. My two players were Toure and Jagielka- puke
