"The 'DRA' have fined a player from Q School for being 'pissed'. The fine is £400. This is a player who loves his darts, and has been playing on the PDC Circuit for 3-4 years now.

Surely a warning could of been better?

Unbelievable."

Who was this lol
Nathan Richards, I hear
I've not followed this story but it says here that he set up a GoFundMe page to pay the fine? Well... oh dear me, this video. Fucking hell.

'I'll do it again'...yeah, something's telling me he's definitely not going to do it again! :lol:

He's shite anyway.
One of the games he did win at Q-School, the other guy averaged 41.

    Genuine question.

    Does Richards actually have a disability or not?

    Not to be rude but he does look a little intellectually challenged.
    Boring Brendas number one and (almost) only fan.

    Smithys number one and (definitely not) only hater.

    I swear I read somewhere that he's challenged in some way or another.

    According to the guardian he calls himself "Gingerami", so to call yourself that in public for sure lends itself to being off your head.

    Inconsistant as fuck before but will probobly provide some decent value.
    Averaged a very solid 93 for the whole year last year, yet didn't even qualify for any of the majors, which tells you a lot. Hopefully he can find that consistency and start winning rather than losing 6-5 more often
    Two of our superior posters when Dirk won back his tour card back in January.

    Isn't there a bit of a history now of players losing their tour card just as they seemed to be getting somewhere, then winning it back and excelling (relatively)?

    Nathan Richards is the biggest tard around. Oche at his worst is still a zillion miles away.

    Glad to see Dirk has indeed provided some decent value like i thought. :D

    Richards is a fucking weirdo.
    Clearly has issues.

    He was playing reasonably well before this run.
    Good to see that its carried on.

    Viz posted a thread comparing him to Aspinall, and there definitely are similarities there. See also: Jeffrey de Zwaan, if he'll ever show his fabled A-game again. Devon never lost it, but almost certainly would have fallen out of the top 64 were it not for an accident of birth...

    Who knows? They both showed similar levels of promise before losing their tour cards, you'd probably say Aspinall had a bit more depth to his resume when he kicked on after winning back his card with a win on the tour as well as a world semi-final compared to Dirk (this is his first senior final of any sort, isn't it?) now, but I wouldn't rule out Dirk winning stuff in future

    Aspinall's 2019 WC run was the one I was comparing Dirk to. It came out of the blue really, although Aspinall did win a PC which was the sole reason he managed to qualify.
    But similarly Dirk had a semi at a Euro Tour this year, so again that's a similarity.

    Barring something spectacular, 9 of the class of 2020 have kept their tour cards (Lowe, De Decker, Jeff Smith, Hunt, Heta, Borland, Dirk, Kleermaker and Krcmar), plus Rydz off the Challenge Tour and Meikle off the Development Tour (at the 3rd time of asking!). No spectacular Duzza or Jose type successes, but Dirk is on course to break the top 16, Heta has already broken into the top 32 and Kleermaker looks on track to join them one day--he's just outside the top 40 as it stands, would have been on course to sneak inside were it not for his positive Covid test last year (Rydz for the record is projected to sneak into the top 32 after the Worlds). A word on Willie Borland too, he's been solid over the last two years, but he's probably produced the most memorable moment of all of the class of 2019
