Worse, some of them actually try to effect the game, phoning venues, FOI requests, booking Bobby George, wishing cancer on officials etc.

The one thing I cannot stand in darts is gamesmanship and poor etiquette i.e players not marking the board after they've lost a game and cheating

Many forms of gamesmanship, Players clicking their darts together while your throwing, Taking their time removing their darts, Talking while your throwing, Walking too close to you while your throwing to name a few.

None of these are as bad as a what a player did to me at Wolverhampton, A player that should know a lot better and I put him to shame for what he done...Was called onto the board to play, He approached the board then walked away and vanished into the toilets, Almost 10 mins later appeared again and not as much as an apology then made god know's how many excuses on Facebook afterwards from his throw not being quite right to he was shown no respect by his opponent ( Me) and during the game he was constantly trying to catch my back foot and did so once...Was lucky not to get landed one.

Ive had players constantly argue with the chalker claiming they scored more than they did, Players giving me verbals in the middle of games, Beer thrown at me when going for a winning double, Over the top coughing from opponents, Even had one making fart noises to try and put me off lol

One thing I can't stand and ive snapped at a few for doing this...Chalkers constantly saying good darts, Oh unlucky, Steady darts, Great shot etc...As if their opinion matters, Ive told more than a few chalkers to shut the hell up over the years.

I have seen him vanish into the bogs after checking draw sheets before he was due to play in the past, Had a few people say to me what they thought he was up to, Still..Whatever it was didn't help as he got spanked by me and made himself look an even bigger tool with what he tried to claim on Facebook following the game.
