Will Leighton Bennet get it together?

[The Ginge Reaper]

His parents are just as bad. I assume you didnt see how his dad acted when he won the Lincolnshire Open a few years back? Was an absolute prick. Think the video is long gone now.

[The Ginge Reaper]

Oh look, here it is



Sadly, there seems to be no sound on it

Bennet like Cadby looked ready for prime time ou of the box. Both cunts and I like that. But not sure it serves them well in settling in a professional circuit and lifestyle. Certainly doesnt help when your losing for stretches at a time. Something about darts players need time to mature. And I aint talking spineless Wolfe maturity.

Without sound I can’t really comment. From what I have seen, Bennett or his Dad ( I assume it’s him in the red shirt) haven’t done anything untoward.

Sadly its all in the audio.

[HalloweenJack]

I’ve seen this one before. Again there is no audio for most part.

Go to 2:48 of the video.

You will have to take our word for it about the first video then, I know this may be a struggle for someone who refuses to see the bad in anyone.

Unless they go by the name of Adrian Lewis.

Mmm I think this is a slightly extended Version to what I’ve seen. I’ve never seen the bit where he screams get in. There was clearly something going off in the match.

Ive not disputed what you have said, but by what you have shown if anybody was to see that without knowing anything, they would wonder what the fuss was all about.
I judge things as I see/find them generally.

Yes. The winner is a twat.

I’ve seen enough from him to make that judgement though.

[The Ginge Reaper]

From memory of the first video, his dad tries to make it all about him, tries to get onto the stage, tells the announcer to fuck off, and then gets a bollocking from the lady on the mic in the video.

Apparently, Leighton is home schooled. That generally tells you everything you need to know about someone. Either means his parents are hippies, or he is a little shit that has been booted out of a school or two.

If what you have said in the first paragraph is correct then that’s clearly bang out of order.

As for home schooling, it could also be that
A) He has been bullied
B) He is away a lot with his darts ( which seems plausible)

[cannibal]

The first one was that a county event or some shit tournament cant remember. I think there was a longer video dad walked back and forth in front of the crowd screaming a couple times. The second one was on the floor not on the stage that makes him a bigger than avg cunt. That Norman from Canada does the same shit he does on stage in the lanes of a floor event

[The Ginge Reaper]

B) is a load of bollocks, he was home schooled long before he started playing events. Smart money is on "he is a little shit".

Cannibal - was the 2018 Cambridgeshire Open.

Norman is quite amusing with it though. You could hardly class it as intimidatory.

As you can see, while there are some notable names on the list, the vast majority of winners didn't become major players in the senior ranks. I therefore think it's far more likely that Bennett's career fizzles out than not.
