At least there are some characters in Darts.

Umlike the current faceless robots in most sports these days.

Bring back Alex Higgins, James Hunt, Bill Werbernick, Jocky Wilson etc etc.

A sport, in my definition, should involve some form of competitive physical exertion. So that rules golf out as well...
That definition probably rules out motorsport too... ;)

All them rally drivers sitting down on the job, shocking!

"Ray-mo ven Bawneyfewwwww"

I haven't bothered watching it for a couple of years. The last time was with my late [Dutch] mother-in-law. She thought it was hilarious. This thread has turned me back on to it.

Wouldn't it be great if you could sit around drinking beer all day and then get to call yourself a sportsman :)

I bet George Best thought the same in the 70's and look at him now

Perfect match:

Eric Bristow v Jockey Wilson

commentary by Sid Waddell

Timeless quote "more nervous than a fly in a glue factory"

The oldies are the goodies, much exctitment, players binge on pints and fags, top drawer entertainment.

Seems sanitised compared to the old matched before the championship split.

Alexander the Great conquered the civilised world at the age of 33...........Eric Bristow did that and he is only 27................

Well what an atmosphere in here tonight. The crowd wouldn't get more excited even if Elvis walked in and ordered a plate of chips"

I dunno Scoobydooooo. At least horses fall over every now and again. You'd think darts players would have that problem as well given the size of the beerguts and the amount of alcohol consumed.

Actually, I think darts would be a lot more enjoyable for the audience if the players had to throw at each other instead of a board. At least that'd give the thinner guys an advantage - less to hit...
