Question from a (almost) newbie

Post by sodapop » Mon Dec 04, 2023 6:37 pm

Hi,

I'm Jerome from France, I enjoy watching the darts as much as I can, and I slowly start to know more and more about the players, the history of the game...

My English is not that bad (hopefully), but sometimes I struggle to understand some of the commentaries, or some of the referees lines...
I.E. I sometimes hear the referees say "[surname of a player] requires one hundred" (when a player is on a possible check out), and I quite hear them say the player surname, with a "y" at the end: "DamonY requires one hundred" (as for Damon Heta), or "MichaelY requires one hundred" (as for Michael Smith)...

Is it just me, or this is real ?? :lol:

Thanks for your insight !
Jerome

Sure mate, stimulate the multiple. Always a good idea.

At risk of being suckered in yet another Smithy trolling exercise...
They are saying "You Require" not -y Requires.

I've always wondered who Anne Mash is. She seems to win a hell of a lot of darts games.

Do you mean Anne Frank
The truth, however ugly in itself, is always curious and beautiful to seekers after it.

That's the tone of the forum really ???
It is pretty pathetical don't you think ?
I bet your French is soooo perfect that everything is crystal clear when you come and try to tan your white bum on the French Riviera; right ?
Ridiculous...

Or maybe you need all the abuse to forget your sad little life ?
Try to find an opened beer from under your torn couch, and drink it between your missing teeth, Chav !

Pretty much until you prove you aren't Smithy or a multiple. Then people mellow a little bit but not much
