Just seen this now, speaking of the devil.
Darts player blames defeat on opponent’s WAG By Eurosport | World of Sport – 2 hours 41 minutes ago Paul Nicholson, the only man ever to complain about the presence of an attractive woman at the darts Paul Nicholson has become a laughing stock at the World Championship Darts after blaming his defeat on his opponent's girlfriend. Kim Huybrechts beat Nicholson 4-1 in the last 16 of the tournament at Alexandra Palace, a result which Nicholson put solely down to the damage to his concentration caused by the crowd's raucous reaction to the presence of Dana Verhaegen. TV cameras continually cut to the shapely Verhaegen - a world-class darts player in her own right - to show her reaction at key moments during the match, and every time her face appeared on the giant screens the inebriated crowd went crazy with a chorus of cheers and wolf whistles. "There's only one reason why I lost that match — and she was sitting right in the front row," fumed Nicholson. "If she had not been in that crowd, I swear to God I would have won... Trust me, the most important thing in that match was her. I wanted to win it so badly, but nobody on the planet can play in that situation. "I've got nothing against Kim, he played better than me, but the crowd were more interested in his girlfriend than the darts." Nicholson's complaint was rejected by the PDC, but the livid ninth seed insisted that he will no longer take any nonsense from spectators. "I just didn't have the crowd's respect — and quite frankly, I don't want it any more," he said. "The next time I win a tournament on television, I'm going to give them the two fingers up and I'll take the fine." Darts player blames defeat on opponent |

IMO he'll be "The new Phil Taylor"..........he can win the World Championship 2-3 times out of 5 World Championships and if he plays darts for the next 20 years then he can easily win it 10 times.

Must admit, I cannot really ever get into the BDO world championship as much as the PDC one, which is clearly higher quality- maybe it is a bit of darts fatigue or something. That said, top match just then from two young Dutch hopefuls- Kist and (Desmond) Dekker.
Let's see if there WAGS can compete at least....plus has the BDO ordered all of its players to get tattooed up? Fitton now has two sleeves and Hankey had some awful Christopher Lee/Boris Karloff thing on his arm ? |

Huybrechts is playing right now in the World Cup of Darts. The camera might be focusing on his bird again
![]() Odd format with the doubles sessions...Taylor/Lewis combo looking pretty potent for England. |

Christ on a bike, that world cup of darts was mental. Looked for all the world like Australia were going to win. I thought they deserved to after the doubles. Lewis looked shot.
Also, Lewis and Nicholson had an obvious spat on the stage afterwards. I'd love to know what was said bar what I lip read. Which was Lewis calling Nicholson a fucking nob and Nicholson calling either Lewis or Taylor a cretin.

The quality of darts in that match was out of this world. Lewis was awesome, but Taylor averaging 114 and only drawing. Was in Amsterdam last night so missed the second night- think it replays on saturday afternoon doesn't it?

Yep hit a 9 darter against Hamilton in the semis before losing to some guy called Phil Taylor.
I missed the finals this year, I'm sure in previous years they've held the semis and final on a Saturday night and not Thursdays. |

Yeah guess they moved it cos of the champions league. Saw the nine darter on SSN in the end. Tor drawer and bit of different way of doing than most, which is pretty typical of Whitlock I guess.
