Well the final "final" figure is in for UK viewing figures.

Sky Sports Main Event = 706k
Sky Sports Arena/Darts = 352k

TOTAL = 1.058m

Blimey, over a million for the first time in ages.

I do have some sympathy , family should never be brought into it , and I think Mardle of all people was a bit ott. But I didn't need Mardle to tell me. the second I saw it I knew it was done on purpose, and posted on here - as did a few others - all well before Mardle said anything,

But that doesnt mean it didnt happen, everyone has seen the damming footage. So it was a failed attempt at gamesmanship, must cough louder next time,, :MAD:

I think the lesson to all players is that blatant gamesmanship will not be tolerated, silly to attempt it with Sky cameras all over the place.

It's difficult, one of two things happened here and you and I are not in a position to know what actually occurred.

1/ He had to cough/sneeze looked up saw Bernie throwing and stifled it at best he could to avoid putting off his opponent. Seeing neither the ref or Bernie actually heard anything this indeed could be the correct version of events.

2/ He was under pressure looked up saw Bernie throwing for the double and purposely coughed in an attempt to put his opponent off.

Unless you are in Justin's mind you have no way of Knowing which of the scenarios is correct so therefore I am giving him the benefit of the doubt in this case. I think the fine is harsh because there is no actual evidence of deliberate intent and no one in the close vicinity actually heard anything.

DARTS has received two nominations in the SJA British Sports Journalism Awards sports broadcasting shortlist.

The annual Sports Journalists Association's awards ceremony celebrates the leading broadcasters, writers and photographers.

Sky Sports' darts presenter Dave Clark has been nominated in the Broadcast Sports Presenter category.

PDC photographer Lawrence Lustig has also received a nomination for his work in boxing in the Specialist Sports Portfolio category.

The winners will be announced at the Westminster Bridge Park Plaza Hotel in London on Monday February 26, with the ceremony sponsored by the National Lottery and raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society.

So. This will be me saying it isn't possible to do a draw like seed one v seed 32. Except that I said the opposite. Ho hum.

Hello Garry, how was "work"?
The "work" you refer to that I get paid for, is not classed as "work" to me, when it is something I would do for free without hesitation.
Of course you have no idea what I mean, but I am sure as always it wont get in the way of you getting things wrong yet again.

All i said was a draw could be made without knowing the participants.
Kindly point out where i was wrong here?
In you own time.
