That is pretty poor to be honest. He would have known when he went to collect the darts. Offering to play a rematch is not acceptable (he probably knew that according to the rules that would not have been possible). If he was truly sorry he should have forfeited the match.

I agree. I have played darts many a time, and always knew when I did or didn't hit a double (even when drinking doubles)

re MVG, not up his game..but get it back to previous level.

And my comment is factual, if they don't like being fat, they can easily give up the 20 pints a day regime

Not sure. Everyone seems to be see Adrian Lewis has a good chance, just don't want him.

I would like to see MVG, quite like the dutch players, there attitude seems right, recognising the fans while not getting to big headed.

I thought Peter wright has played well. And he seem to be a good sport too.

But over all, not concerned, just like seeing new blood win it.
