Darts is pish - same person wins all the time.

How come the commentators never mention his conviction for assaulting those 2 fife girls in his caravan a few years back??

The Queen saw fit to take his MBE off him for it, but by listening to Sid Waddell you'd think he was some kind of superhero.

James Wade won the Premier League of darts this season, I was there and it was amazing.

I would miss the BDO! I like both comps and i also like the players that play in the BDO as they are more down to earth regular working guys! The PDC is more about making cash and the BDO is about the traditional game.The BDO will never sell to the PDC anyway. Our last Scottish champ in darts won the Lakeside back in 1997 and he came in the name of Les Wallace. And our other champ Jocky Wilson won it back in 1989 i think. If the BDO disappears then the names of those 2 scottish champs will disapear with it. The 2 big names in darts started with the BDO anyway and maybe they shouldnt forget that Barney and Taylor are both great darters but i also think Martin Adams and Ted Hankey are great players aswell. But i do enjoy watching both the PDC and the BDO.

It was 10 years ago.

He wasn't worth nearly as much as he is now.

He was nowhere near as mainstream famous as darts didn't have the same exposure.

He travelled around the country in a caravan playing darts in local pubs.

David Beckham he ain't - he's a fat balding sweaty darts player.

What would they have to gain from being 'at it'?

10 years ago he was still a world Champion they had plenty little storys to sell to news papers. They was daft enough to get into his motorhome in the first place. Its almost similar to the Mike Tyson thing when that female went to his hotel room at daft o'clcok. Phil Taylor is no monster and he has paid for his actions anyway. But i just think those girls set him up. Silly girls my age should know better really.

The courts had to do what they had to do.

so were they asking for it?

and by that are all ladies who chat to 'sportsstars' also asking for it?

we have a justice system, he was tried and found guilty. Therefore, the girls are innocent of what you claim.

Your opinion mate not going to try and change it. I agree with our justice system as i said "the courts did what they had to do". I dont think he is a bad perons atall i think he made a mistake and i do think it was a baited mistake thats all. " Groping" is a strong word.
