Hatton you've suddenly gone from comparing darts as a sport with curling and pistol shooting to comparisons with golf, football and tennis. Massive difference when trying to defend darts in that particular arena.

I never questioned those 3 sports - how could I ?


What I'm saying is if certain ones are accepted then others should be.

And yes golf does have resident fat bastards in the top 30

All im saying is that its a sport that requires 0% physical ability, i completely accept the argument that daly isnt exactly in tip top shape but he still is required to hit a golf ball 300 odd yards.

The reason darts has such a bad rep is because of not only the competitors being in diabolical shape but that in large people that go to these events are watching a pub sport while drinking beer, smoking and being roudy.....the very thing a pub would associate itself with!!
