Well done Gary Anderson

[Father Ted]

Great to see a Hibs fan winning a world title in any sport but to beat someone with a record like Taylor was fantastic.

:flag: Is he from Loanhead?

[lord bunberry]

I think he is from Eyemouth

[The_Exile]

Think he was born in Musselburgh but grew up in Eyemouth, or perhaps vice versa? Anyhow, amazing win, well played that man!

[connerg]

Just checked Wiki and you're right. Lives in Somerset now.

How darts can be described as a sport baffles me. Should never be included in the sports section of the papers.

He wasn't a convincing Hibs fan on talksport this morning.

Gary is from Musselburgh. Fisherrow to be precise.

Darts requires a physical skill in order to achieve an objective of attempting to beat an opponent. That makes it a sport in my book.

The skill involved is unbelieveable, as well as the mental strength required. Anderson's comeback when he was 2-0 down in that set and his three darts fell out for a no score was brilliant to watch. That final last night was edge of the seat stuff, and the most exciting non football sporting event I've seen for a while (helped by a 50 quid bet on Anderson to win of course :greengrin).

Well done Gary!

Have you ever tried playing darts? It's very difficult

What section should it be in?

[Danderhall Hibs]

Have you ever tried playing darts? It's very difficult

Yes and yes it is.

Doesn't mean it's a sport though.

[Sir David Gray]

I think he is from Eyemouth

I think that's what's listed on his biography but his accent is definitely from the Edinburgh/East Lothian area.

I would say that the skill level involved and the amount of practice required to get to the level of Anderson and Taylor means that darts should be thought of as a sport.

Like chess?

[Sir David Gray]

Like chess?

I would say that darts is more skilful than chess.

What was said?

Alan Brazil: "so Gary, what about the Hibees. Beating Rangers 4-0 then drawing 0-0 with Hearts. Things are on the up"

Gary: "did they? I've not seen a paper"

Brazil moved quickly on!
