    Any fellow fans of the arrows on this forum?

    I am a big darts fan, and seeing Luke Littler smash 3 of the top 5 ranked players in the Bahrain Masters this weekend and win the title was a total breath of fresh air. He even hit a 9-darter again Aspinall in the quarters

    Unbelievable Jeff

    I've been all over watching the Darts and off to Berlin next month for the PL. Should be a good do if most of the arseholes don't decide to throw their beer about for the last hour like everywhere in Britain and Dublin.

    Roughly £17 for a 2 pint pot and bellends are throwing them all around the arenas? I just don't get it.

    If anyone is interested though, Rotterdam is a great place for the darts and if you enjoy watching get yourself over there. Absolutely loved the City centre and atmosphere around the place.

    Big darts fan.

    See Joe Cullen walking his dog fairly regularly.
    His kids go to the school in Bailiff Bridge.
    He lives just up the road in Wyke.

    Joe win that PL night in Rotterdam I mentioned.

    He beat MVG to one single Bradfordian standing up and cheering while fearing the whole arena was about to give me a hiding :joy:

    I'm fairness though, those around me knew I was cheering Joe on all night and even shook my hand at the end so it was all good humoured thankfully.

    Yes he is a nice bloke isn't he. I was in the Drum Winder on Ivegate last year with my lad and my mate, Joe walked in with his missus, his agent and a few other friends. We got talking to them and they were really decent folk and very down to earth, his wife was a good laugh and they even bought us a round of drinks!

    He seems to change his car fairly regularly.
    Personalised plate of “Joe” something on his Range Rover at the moment

    Wasn’t Scott Thwaites (2 x BDO World champion) based at the Harold club for a while?

    Yeah and he was also at the Drum winder with Joe and Tony O'Shea, probably on the same night @SteveC@SteveC saw him if it was around Christmas.

    Apparently they're all mates and they have a do around then every year.

    Isn’t it scott waites? Or should I say Scotty too hotty **so funny. He is from brighouse I think so Harold club would make sense. I live just down the road in Oakenshaw

    but no they definitely weren’t there when I saw them. It was September and they came in for a few then moved on again, they actually went up to Yates’ cos we went in there later and saw them from a distance, but then they moved on again. Maybe they thought we were stalking them by that point lol

    Littler v Van Gerwen it is.

    Revenge will be on Michael’s mind.

    Watched the highlights last night. I think Luke wins it if he got the 170 to even it at 7-7. All invaluable experience for him though

    The lad is certainly making waves. And poor Price by the way, he must already be so pissed off with him :D

    Correct.
    For a supposed darts fan I’m not very good at this;)
    Completely forgot the WC Final even though he beat Humphries in an earlier round and they mentioned revenge about a thousand times.

    lol

    What a fantastic achievement though in such a short space of time

    Fortunately he turned 17 last week, so we won’t hear “he’s only 16 you know” any more **so funny
