The greatest laugh I ever had at a televised dart match in my life was Tony Fleet against Spineless at lakeshite, but if that was the benchmark for outright stupidity, drunkenness and making a complete idiot of yourself  then Ted Hankey took it to a whole new level. When you see a player like Ted normally you are not fully sure what you are getting but nobody could have expected the fiasco that followed. You know things are heading south when he had to be prodded to wake up for his walk on, after he somehow appeared to be falling asleep standing up. He must have got a second wind for a few minutes as he seemed to regain some composure for the warm up and practice darts. By the time the first leg was underway and his darts was missing their targets by a good distance and the distance increasing each throw over the course of a long first leg it soon started to sink in he was not just drunk but ossified, he had 3 darts at 56 at which point I still believed he was just throwing shit and ted had no eye problem either bar a few minor wobbles, when his first dart at 16 missed the board I started laughing, by the time the second dart missed the 16 and landed in the seven I was in fits of laughter, but to compound it by missing the nine and landing in the 14 had me in stitches.of course when the crowd started laughing his eye injury amazingly started. I never laughed so much throughout the game, and each few throws it seemed I was given something new to laugh at.  The facial expressions, the wobbling, he almost fell over at another point, and looked like a corpse warmed up in a microwave.
How the commentators were not pissing themselves laughing and kept serious trying to keep up this facade that he was ill and this was the cause I will never know. Did Ted show himself up ? Yes, did he draw bad publicity ? possibly, but by God was it worth it.
The only thing that could have made this any funnier would have been if Ted had won the player sponsorship on the pink forum. Could you imagine Threadkiller, Chissy, the Baldy Goblin ,Krispy the Sadman and others out in force trying to defend Ted.

I grew up watching darts where there was smoking and drinking was live on stage, and players were expected to know their limits, but Ted was the worst I have seen on tv, the damage limitation has begun with reports of this illness and that illness and while it may be possible he was ill he was also pissed. Many members on forums who despise the pdc are only too glad to lay all the blame on them, but funnily enough the same people felt the bdo was not at fault when it happened at lakeshite with Tony Fleet.I have always despised darts being referred to as a sport, as much as I love darts its only a game, hence why players are not subjected to alcohol tests. The pdc and bdo I suspect trust their players to not make a show of themselves. Is it time to ban alcohol ? I think yes if you want the game to be taken serious, there is proper money to be made in the game now, if MVG wins the Grandslam he will  take his earnings for the last 3 months to around quarter of a million quid,  and if that is not an incentive then I dont know what is. Others will say no its a working class pub game, but I dont buy that crap, if you want to be a boozer and player then fuck off in a time machine back to the mid 90s to the bdo and play for some tasty pork chops or hope you win a raffle or some brass darts...wait you dont need a time machine for that., if the game wants to be seen in the right light this whole fat beer belly pint swigging has to go.

Friday 9th November

Here is a guy that thinks unless you play in a competition you have no right to comment on it, even on a darts forum, and should anyone dare to have the nerve to question the running of such a comp like this proposed IDO comp due to the involvement of Lee Hayes is then threatened by Robbie Green via private message.
Then again he has a history of threatening people via pm, he then openly threatened a member on TSoD and not one mod had the balls or backbone to do a damn thing about it, why was he not banned  ? is it because he is a player ? here is a fat scumbag throwing his weight around because he did not like what he read, and he will keep on doing it until others stand up to people like this, yet the same mods had no problem banning members who had a pop at justin pipe but sit idly by and do nothing when a good member of their site is threatened.
The other night on an internet stream where DBG sits in front of a web cam with black bags under his eyes like a panda while drinking and slurring speaking shit while chain smoking, showing off his bigotry, where he spouts racist and homophobic views, was joined by fellow scumbags Robbie Green and Lee Hayes in which they decided they would show their true colors.
Below is an example of the type these people are, a screenshot from the other night and their comments about a member of many darts forums.

No doubt I too will probably get the threats and abuse for showing these cunts up, but I dont give a fuck, I wont be intimidated.
