So curling is a recognized sport but darts isn't.....?

The drinking and smoking darts players of the 80s are still remembered by the toffs who don't realise how the game has transformed. Three weeks ago 10,000 went to watch the first night of the premier league at the O2 arena. Go figure.

Lets see the GB team win the curling gold medal then go on a tour of the country and see how many come watch them - I will reserve the phone booth near where I live in case they decide to come here

But the sport is still predominently played by tubby beer drinkers in there 40s who learnt the trade in their local. You dont have to carry around a bottle of water or a towel to play a game of darts but yet more often than not they do and its neccesary because the fat out of shape b*stards get out of breath picking up their darts.

roger federer = sportsman
tiger woods = sportsman
lionel messi = sportsman
phil taylor = someone who plays a pub game rather well

Tiger Woods/golf don't count then. Plenty of world-class golfers are fat smoker boozers. A 60-year-old was one shot away from winning The Open last year.


10,000 at the 02 is amazing. Darts pisses all over boxing.

Hmmmm, abit of a generalisation there mate. James Wade won the Premier League last year, he aint a fat slob, others to mention Simon Whitlock, Colin Osbourne, Paul Nicolson, Jelle Klaasen, Co Stompe etc

Since Tiger came on the scene most Golfers were not that bothered about weight and stamina, Tiger reinvigorated the sport and took it to another level, the others had to change to keep up.
The others ya mentioned are fair enough, they are running around for anywhere between 2-4hrs. Although Butterbean done alright in his day

I think the majority are quite fit and in good health now, but still you can be a great golfer without concentrating on fitness to much look at Phil Mickelson world number three and has bigger tits than your average page three bird.

John Daley 2 time major winner??

You know him right? The guy who had to have a gastric band fitted cos he was so fucking fat and unhealthy. Yes I agree Golf requires so much athletic ability and fitness .

I wouldn't mind those women playing curling on my kitchen floor or bathtub. At least it would be cleaner after they were done with their brushing and sweeping.
