Here in America its considered an activity you can do at a bar, not a sport. The winner of the PDC World champs gets £2.5m! Quite a few quid in it over here.

I understand were your coming from, and I often wonder what constitutes a sport and what doesn’t, and darts is definitely one of them a long with Pool and Snooker, they could easily come under entertainment. But what I would say is at darts you would have a great experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like going to a party but there is a darts competition going on in front of you. I twice dressed up as a Storm Trooper and escorted John Part to the stage and once in a Hawaiian shirt and flowers escorting Wayne Mardle, both times (the Hawaiian and storm trooper were the same night) at the echo. My mates girlfriend was a producer for Sky Sports and asked him to bring a load of us. When we got to the arena they had a big dressing room just for us, it had a few crates of Carling and loads of Walkers crisps. They asked if any of us wanted to have a spray tan before we went out, but none of us took up the offer. After we had finished we had seats right at the side of the stage with the Sky staff, it was loads of fun. Don’t have a clue about darts, love free drinks. Ahhh, so the promoters are geniuses. Sounds the the Kentucky derby over here, no one cares about the horse race they just want to be at the event and parties. Not a big deal although for a supposed party boy he sure is a slow drinker.

Shukes Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Not a problem with it, it’s his life. But what a tit he is. Will never be a role model for fans. And I’m sure it will harm his career as the FA won’t want him to be known as England's No1. But that’s his problem,. As long as he performs for us then he can do whatever he wants. Just needs to accept it when he’s called a tit for it though. Hafnia and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working on that basis most of us are tits, and some bigger than others We nearly all go out once a week or fortnight and have a laugh, he goes out once in a blue moon and enjoys himself and gets slated. As far as I’m aware there’s been no condemnation from the club his country or his managers, probably because there’s nothing to moan about, a young man having fun with a load of people also out to have some fun. How shocking I mustn’t forget to complain to the stop people enjoying themselves Police Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The humanity! 25 year old 100k a week "athlete" goes out and gets shit faced amid a congested fixture list whilst his team is facing a tough challenge and a new manager comes in... is the other way of looking at it. I don't begrudge players having a life. I used to stand at the bar and have a chat with Ebbrell and Mark Wright when they were playing.... a pint lasted them 40 minutes, and they were low key in a local pub. I seen osman, hibbert, carsley out in a bar in Alderley edge - stood quietly away - again just sipping and chatting amongst themselves. This lad on the last 2 times he's been captured out is acting like he's on a club 18-30 holiday. To me he looks like he does when he's in between the sticks against Newcastle or Liverpool.... craving attention and making himself heard. I just don't think his choice of venues and actions is very smart at all. We've seen all this shit before, Fowler getting nutted twice, the Leeds lads affray, barkley getting flattened.... how can I say it politely ..... He loves a chav like venue.

His profile as the England keeper is what makes it news worthy. Whenever Wayne Rooney had a few it got in the papers. If there was an issue the press would be all over it.

I'm 43.... at 25 I got pissed, stoned and nearly bled to death after being a dickhead. So I'm well aware of being 25. The point I'm making is that these lads are on short well paid careers. Go out and have a pint.... don't be a dick though. He won't need to do something that I did to learn his lesson.... that incident in Newcastle should have been enough of a lesson. The lad is a bit of a hothead, he engages with opposition fans, he can't help it... He loves being "out there". For me he needs to reign it in a bit. For me I've seen enough of him to make me think "he doesn't listen.... more so refuses to". The other day he needed to clear a ball and stayed back - digne called him on it. He told him to piss off, then it took Coleman to do it and he refused his advice. I can't help thinking he's his own worst enemy.

I suppose we can question his judgement.... cos essentially he represents our club.

I personally don’t stand in judgement because I have done a lot worse, even when older and so say wiser than him, so that would make me hypocrite and that wouldn’t sit well with me. He has a multitude of support a round him to give him a good advice when needed and also to reprimand him when required. But he is No1 for us No1 for England and made a worldie on top of a couple of good saves the other day, so he’s doing something right.
