Darts in General Reviews

In theory I love darts. I love the way that it's so unphysical. Always being the fat kid, I couldn't run around much, but I could play a game that required me to throw little things at a circle! In terms of the game, darts is incredibly tough to play. The areas you are aiming for on the board are so small, that to play it at any decent ...  Read the complete review

Many people think this game can only be played by large men who love to spend time in the pub and drink and throw their darts at a board. However this game requires a lot of skill, and superb hand and eye co-ordination, something which is hard to gain. Each player has 3 darts, made up of a shaft, stem and flight, and they aim to try ...  Read the complete review

I have to be honest as far as a spectator sport goes darts has to be one of the more boring sports to watch, admittedly apart from the ocal pub league that a former boyfreind used to play in I have no actual experience of watching darts live but the sight of the crowd at either the Lakeside Tavern or the othr major events leaves me with absolutely ...  Read the complete review

Darts has its roots in Medieval England. Many historians believe that the game of darts as we know it today evolved from archers shortening their arrows and throwing them at the bottom of wine barrels. When these barrels were in short supply, the archers improvised and used the cross-section of some medium sized trees. It is easy to see how this ...  Read the complete review

Is it a pub sport? Is it an Olympic sport as some have suggested? Everyone knows how to play but yet only a select few can truly play. The rules haven't changed so the familiarity factor is there. Somehow no matter what darts tries they cant break through the stigma that it is pub sport in the eyes of most people. Darts has been around ...  Read the complete review

Darts... ...Is, like many things, something I got into due to my gambling habbits, and let me start this with a conotraversial statement, it's not a sport. Thats not to say it's not fun to watch or play, but by no means is it a sport. It's in the same group as Pool and Snooker, for me as opposed to sports like Boxing, Football, Tennis etc. ...  Read the complete review

I reckon the darts commentary on TV sounds like mathematicians having orgasms.180!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. Then you can just hear the muffled wife under the flab saying, '65 more like luv! I wonder if the darts players other halves ever ask for a kiss on the double top and three in the treble twenty.lol. Darts is not a virile sport guys and it's not been a ...  Read the complete review

Darts is one of those sports, which you don't think of as a sport. You think of it as the game you always play at the pub with a pint of beer. However, darts is featured on TV with the championships and there really is a skill to playing it. The darts board is attached to the wall so that the bulls-eye is 1.73 metres away from where ...  Read the complete review

Darts I have been playing darts for a good few years now (ok, about 7, but I'm only 19 so that's over a third of my life!), and I am going to try to convince you that darts isn't just about lager louts passing their seemingly endless times at a pub burning 20 calories a day at a so-called "sport"! Darts is a game ...  Read the complete review

When people think of dart their think of over weight men in there 40's or drunken men in a pub. But darts is very good game for all ages.

If you only play ...  Read the complete review

Lets face it, most people wouldn’t even see darts as a sport. But it is, and a decent one at that! Of course, to become mainstream Darts must shred it's seedy, smoky pub image. You think of a darts player and you think of a middle aged man, with a pint in his hand and a beer belly hanging out of T-shirt. And I guess this still ...  Read the complete review

Darts? A game of skill? Oh too right. I have a dartboard and a stepdad who happens to be pretty decent at throwing sharpened sticks. And trust me, it isn?t as easy as you think. I have had just the one 180 in about two years at darts, whilst my stepdad, who has played since a teenager has enjoyed over fifty ?ton 80?s?. But then I turn on ...  Read the complete review

Darts. The old pub game still enjoyed my many. Besides, it still has a cigarette sponsored world tournament that is usually shown of terrestrial TV about Christmas time, usually on BBC2 over the Simpsons. Darts, basically is a game where you have two players, three darts each, take turns throwing is at a board from 1-20 with singles, ...  Read the complete review

Darts may not be the most popular sport in the world, but it has to be one of the easiest to get started with, and considering the success of recent TV coverage of World Championships, it's certainly a sport on the way up. Of course, to become mainstream Darts must shred it's seedy, smoky pub image. You think of a darts player and ...  Read the complete review

Forget Bullseye and trying to spot the board through the haze of smoke. Darts has moved on. The argument prevails whether it should be classed as a sport. It is certainly a game of skill, concentration, competitive and entertaining so that's good enough for me. I only get to see competitive darts once a year when the BBC cover the ...  Read the complete review

Good Morning. After another typically depressing christmas holiday season, what could be better than to relax in front of the T.V. taking in the sights and sounds (and sometimes smells) of this year's Embassy World Championship Darts. NOTHING! That's right, NOTHING! Free from the over-bearing pomposity and the ...  Read the complete review

Well Yes, I'am only 15 and many people say darts is a game for older people but I think it is great I've been playing for 2 years now and if you do play you really appreciate how good those guys are, I can't even get 20 on a regular basis never mind triple 20. The BBC have had the Darts World Championships on for years yet ...  Read the complete review
