Darts is only good when it's competitive.
Like any sport.
I'd rather watch 2 x 90 averages go at it and it be mega close instead of watching Littler hit 111 average over 100+ legs and walk the entire competition.
There's no jeapordy when it's like this.
Seen several posts in the last day or so saying darts is boring because Littler is dominating.
Not having it.
If you can't enjoy watching someone play like this, then you just don't like darts.
That 167 was so filthy.
@Wayne501Mardle That was a different Wayne Mardle. You're an entirely different person these days. Even just ten years ago I thought you were a helmet (in the nicest possible way) but your contribution to the sport and to the darts community these days is second to none in my opinion
@Dave713@WBAfan2003 It's not the person. It's the situation. There's no doubt that he's in the top 3 best players of all time already and that's fair play to him. But that doesn't change the situation - it's not as interesting
@HellsBellsy@CKRosekilly30 Helen people can admire someone's ability but still be disheartened with things being so one sided. There's a reason the Barney Taylor final is on darts gold more than any other final
@freeman_le36390 You do realise Littler has skipped almost every pro tour right? All well and good you googling facts but you ought to use context at the sane time
@Dave713@JoeCrosby39460 The point isn't whether 90 is good enough or not. It's more the closeness of the game. I'd rather watch a 17-15 result with two players throwing 90ish avg.
@paulnotlee Spot on.
I fully enjoyed watching the darts littler threw, but as a spectacle, it's crap.
Give me a game like GVV vs Nijman in the quarters any day over a complete battering.
@WBAfan2003 Not pointing any fingers at LL. There's no question that he's incredible and it's not his 'fault' nobody is as good as him but that doesn't take away the problem it's caused
@CKRosekilly30 No it wasn't. At all. And it was the same air of inevitability that people didn't like. Just because you weren't around the sport back then doesn't mean that people weren't just as disheartened as they are now.
