Yeah, surely they would take action quickly against a previous offender.

And it's not like Lewis and Painter escaped punishment when they did similar.

I'd imagine after taking 8 slipperings in a matter of a week or so the anger is bubbling quite nicely. Probably be his family on the recieving end.

Thought maybe the lesser pressure of the challenge tour might bring a slightly higher standard from him, but no. That's exactly his level. Good pub player but an also ran who will never get close to winning anything everywhere else, just like I predicted. Mouth writes cheques that his talent can't cash.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Seems this was the issue...

It was during his 2nd game in CT3 where a bit of argument occurred.
His opponent was left handed and taking the darts out of the board with his right hand and than walking back to the left of the oche. DBG took offence to this and an official was called to clear up matters.

To make matters worse in one of the following legs DBG took out a lovely 62 finish in 3 darts. The issue was that he actually required 66.

He did actually play in CT 4.

650 pounds worth so far. Be surprised if we see him on the Challenge Tour again.

He's not going to last the full season, is he?

[sennafan24]

This is from 2007.

I suspect he will make a similar statement soon:

I have decided after a couple of months of thinking about it and decided to turn my back on the P.D.C and after not renewing my membership to the P.D.P.A and also after events I had cause for complaint at 2 competitions where I felt like I was treated like a second rate player, my complaints were not taken seriously and instead am now going to continue my darting career within the B.D.O including hopefully county darts, it is my belief that I will be treated fairly within the B.D.O and have the chance to compete fairly which I sincerly hope I do so, my only regret in joining the P.D.P.A was that I now realise that I should have not been so quick to dismiss the B.D.O system which I am sorry for.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Hopefully he takes the unnecessary dots out of the acronyms this time.

[Stran]

Disappointing that hes turned out to be just a very good pub player .

[SolidSCB]

Kicking off already making excuses because he's not good enough. Pathetic bastard.

Even if he had the ability, he doesn't have the temperament.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Lets just hope no "smelly nigger" looks at him " a bit funny".

[SolidSCB]

He's literally the exact player I had in my head before I ever saw a score marked on dartconnect. An angry little pub player who gets aggressive because his pitiful 70 averages aren't good enough to do anything any further afield than his local.

After he failed miserably in the 2nd event of the day he confronted Usher in the practice area, verbals ensued until the officials stepped in and asked security to remove him from the venue

[The Ginge Reaper]

I see.

[Dazzla501]

High 60 avg to low 80s (rarely sadly) about my standard too these days.

I wouldn’t be bothering with Q School/Challenge Tour. I’m a realist.

If true, then I am sure the PDC will let him back a third time

I was made aware of an altercation between Mr Green and another player during the evening of the Challenge Tour 3&4 events and asked PDC Security to keep an eye on the situation as one player was allegedly asking another player to go outside with him.

A little while later Mr Green appeared at the Registration kiosk and loudly interrupted a conversation I was involved in by shouting obscenely that he had been threatened by another player and what was I " f****ing going to do about it.

I told him that the first thing I would do was have him removed from the venue if he continued being aggressive, insulting and using obscene language.

I knew of the situation and that Security were watching it so I told him to put any complaint he had in writing.

Mr Green then left the area of the kiosk but not before again using an obscenity directed at me.

At this point Mr Green had not been excluded from the venue despite his atrocious and insulting behaviour.

The decision to exclude him was taken by Security not me and was done in the interests of public safety and his outrageous behaviour.

There was also the small matter of over 200 other players striving to do their best in the event, a cause not helped by the loud antics and obscenities of Mr Green.

His expulsion, although not immediately known to me, was fully supported by me in my position as Tournament Director.

His further suspension by me is within PDC rules provided that the non PDPA member is informed in writing of his / her exclusion.

I was told later that Mr Green was about to offer violence to Security but wisely refrained from doing so at the last minute.

He left still shouting loudly and offering his hopes, again loudly and obscenely, that he hoped that Graham Fairhurst would die of cancer.

I do not have to justify my actions to anyone but I will continue my efforts to keep PDC darts events trouble free and played in a convivial and orderly atmosphere.

I will not be entering into any further discussion on this subject but feel that I should make the facts clear to the Forum members as Mr Green has used the Forum to attempt to garner sympathy by painting himself an innocent in this situation.

No doubt he will have more to say, deny what I have said and attempt to justify his unacceptable behaviour and vicious statements.

I leave the Forum members to draw their own conclusions.
