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

[Mark TKO]

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!!

[Andre]

so pistol shooting then - you recognize that as a sport ?

Not as a bar sport

Although some mobsters do here on occasions.


Im fukkin around as usual.

It is really tough determining a Game from a sport though.

How about billiards? Do you guys consider it as a sport?

[Gandalf]

Darts should be a recognised sport, it requires a lot of skill to become that good. It really doesn't matter if a few of the competitors are overweight, people who play golf are not normally primed to run marathons in under 3 hours either. I love darts and watching it can be fun.

Curling is shite, dunno why anybody would want to watch that TBH.

It's a bit of shame really HattonHammer, what i mean is that's what you do on a weekend, shame ya didnt get noticed and YOU could have been in Vancouver showcasing your talents

[Gandalf]

I agree with the posts above. The Winter Olympics is utter tosh.

I too like a lot of sports, but figure skating and curling and all those other winter "sports"....I don't really see the point in them.

The women skaters have the best legs and ohh some of those moves!

Exactly - declare darts a sport now !

Anyway Andre - what sort of pres coverage did Simon Whitlock get back home in Oz after he got to world darts final in January? He was unseeded and though he lost 7-3 but the score slightly flattered the Power as Whitlock played well
