After a 5-1 win? :lol:

Can you consistently average 70+?

Seen him play, Does not worry me in the slightest and I wouldn't think I would have to be in inspired form to turn him over.

Last time I played superleague, I went and played as someone else as a favour as the team were short. I literally had to go to Argos on the way and buy some cheap shit darts and managed to average 72 or so in my match.

and that isn't some humble brag, it's a fucking minging standard of play that won't even get you near a pub open title and anyone who has taken "months off work" to work on their game and can only achieve that standard should be completely fucking ashamed of themselves. Absolutely dire stuff.

Bollocks. 24-25 per dart would have you top 20 in most super leagues. It’s not awful by any stretch but it proves he’s been telling porkies about his ability (which we all knew anyway).

Low 70's is poo. Especially, as mentioned, it's after taking 3 months off work to achieve.

It’s not. It’s just not good enough at the level his ego dictates he play at.

That's exactly what I mean. It's completely irrelevant at both the top level of darts and this challenge your level too. I couldn't care less if he can beat people in his local league games every week with a 70 average. As soon as he steps into a wider pool, i.e. the Riley's thing he's nothing more than another body throwing mediocre darts.

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.

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.
:D

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?
