Controversial Darts Players #1 Luke Humphries

Post by Emulsfier » Thu Dec 29, 2022 11:06 pm

This series will be about the players that divide forum opinion. Some will like them, some will hate them. Post why you like or dislike them, and if you can see the other side of the argument or not.

First up we have one of the main causes of the forum to be in tatters on a regular basis, Luke Humphries.

For me the combination of his headshaking, his poor me attitude, him being a pot bellied beard growing family having "youth" champion, and generally coming across to me as a smarmy git, I really cant stand him.

I dont get the other side of isle at all, he doesnt have any endearing qualities to me.

I have no strong opinion on him. Just bemused as to why he is absolute scum to most of the forum.

Thats hardly his fault is it? That was an event he was eligible for through no doing of his own.

Has Emu been taking spelling lessons from Randall.

I like Luke. See my reasons below.

- Young player

- Great to watch and a high scorer

- I'm sympathetic to him as he has come out and said he has mental health problems. I think this stuff should be taken more seriously. People should be helped rather than ridiculed.

Not my favourite player, but I also don't hate him, and I think people do go way overboard on him

Apparently he should be hated for entering an event he was eligible to play in. Bonkers.

He’s good to watch

But his body language and headshaking is worse than RVB.

It is more in the Thornton style I think, sort of living the game in his whole body and hurling himself through it. It's far from the despair and self-pity of a Barnacle. I could be wrong though.

I agree. Some people hate Thornton for that too. But it's really not that big a deal

Just seems if he doesn’t get the score he expects to get, he makes a bit of a spectacle about it nearly every time.

Yes. So exactly like Thornton and nothing like Barney

Hm, I wouldn’t say so.
