Tony Eccles

[ChrisW]

Pre trial I had hoped Eccles was innocent, and as an Irishman I never have faith in the British justice system, and were you Irish you would not either.
We on forums will never know the full truth however the length of the sentence suggests there must be a lot more than we are aware of.

Then again the innocent Guildford 4,got huge sentences, as did the Maguire 7, and the 8irmingham 6 all not miscarriages of justice but out and out blatant criminal and illegal activity by the british state.

Welcome aboard Roderick

But not as bad as the injustice of your TSOD ban eh JC ?

[Roderick Slyme]

To be fair, there are some very good posts on there. But, I think some people are talking absolute bollocks. It's one thing to suck up to tomato cans like Grubby and Maish, it's quite another to defend a convicted child rapist.

I love the term "Tomato Cans"!

Steve Maish - Darts' answer to Jesse Ferguson!

Welcome Rodders, hope it's not another three years till you post again mate!

Thanks, MH. I'll try to keep a bit more active this time!

Notice how he has try to deflect from the reason as he knows full well i was given a warning for mild comments on pipe.

Still their loss, as the place is now dead for live darts with so many now joining here

It's happening everywhere Roddy. It's not confined to TSOD. Even Justin's KOTW post was filled with empathy!

JC's blog was somewhat less vitriolic than usual, I must admit. He did seem to be sitting on the fence a little, on one hand he had Eccles down as bringing "shame onto (the) game", before going onto a slight tirade on the alleged corruption of our legal system. Of course, there was a dig at his old "friends" at DF at the end. It just seemed as though he was kind of covering all bases.

I understand people's misgivings over the old trial by jury method, and also that some people within forumland know him personally. However he was unanimously found guilty, and given a substantial sentence very quickly indeed. Why would this be done without the fullest evidence? Plus, at the end of the day, it wasn't like he is a high-level sportsman, he was a middle of the road darts player, hardly the kind of guy someone would want to "set up".

Pre trial I had hoped Eccles was innocent, and as an Irishman I never have faith in the British justice system, and were you Irish you would not either.

Cheers, JC. I see what you mean there, and can't argue with you on that.

Like you say, us forum plebs will never know what went on that courtroom, but, and maybe I'm being a little too trusting, I just can't see any way how twelve jurors and a judge could swiftly reach such a verdict, without there being irrefeutable evidence to justify it.

To go off-topic a little, what happened to your tournament reports on your blog, JC. They were often the best thing to come from BDO tournaments!

You've obviously never been to South Bank. There he was a celeb

I've been to South Bank and am in no hurry to return - although I've got an interview for a job two minutes from there on Wednesday.

Before you can write about something you will obviously have to watch the event......thats where the problem arises,
Why put myself though Hell only so I can write a scathing report ?

I think Zuiderduin 2013 was the final straw, the worst competition I have witnessed in well over 30 years,It was absolutely appalling.
I might go back to writing reports on the masters and lakeshite though

I can see your dilemma there. The PDC ones were great as well though. I can't see other sites discussing matches between "progeria suffering oompa loompa cunts" and "stroke face"!

[The Ginge Reaper]

His description of Jamie Caven had me in stitches during one of his write-ups. Think he called him a "telescope salesman" or something

Slurp.

Telescope inspector was what I called him

Not read the whole thread but I liked this exchange on TSoD:

Really don't want to believe this story.

Sorry mate but its true

[Mr. Myers]

I wonder if there are any other darts players out there with shady pasts like Eccles.

With Savile, Clifford, Harris and Eccles all getting brought out in recent years; it makes you think could another "pedo dart player" be exposed in the near future? Wouldn't surprise you, wouldn't one bit. Especially if it was Taylor, I wouldn't be shocked at all, in fact I expect it.

[TheArrow]

I suspect Wolfie may be a paedo, he certainly has the image anyway.



Disclaimer: I have no proof whatsoever that Wolfie is a paedo, this is just my own personal opinion based on his image and general character and is intended for comedy purposes only.

I suggest caution before naming anyone you may suspect lads, you're all personally responsible for your posts
