You two numptys are the epitome of the troglodyte, john bull, knuckledragging bootboy that follows the pdc.[/quote]
By pointing out self evident truths about moderately educated Dutch?
Christian Kist is fluent in darts. Thatās his language.
Itās disappointing to see the slightly racist undertones to the comments made by Fagan OāDowd and especially the Dunph. English is not Christian Kistās native language. He comes from a small village near the German border so if heād be learning any other language, itād likely have been German. PDC fans simply cannot comprehend anything outside the Anglosphere. In fact the presumption that everybody in Holland has and should have learnt English carries distinctly colonial undertones.
I dont think Holland has ever been a colony of England. In fact I think the contrary may be true.
Your belittling of Christian Kistās lack of English is like something Iād expect from the Daily Mail.
Fagan and Dunph like to holiday in Benidorm and complain how the Spanish donāt talk english.
Thatās exactly the type of mentality weāre dealing with here, Piles.
Surprised at Fagan, not at Dunph.
Courtesy of google translate, hereās a brief extract from one of the top sports stories in De Telegraaf, the newspaper with the highest circulation in the Netherlands. Interesting that a large police presence is needed to keep order in Kistās hometown due to the huge celebrations when itās only a mickey mouse tournament heās won. :rolleyes:
Politie alert op onrust rond huldiging darter Kist
Vroomshoop - The police Monday night in Vroomshoop extra vigilant on the honoring of darts world champion Christian Kist. The festivities ran Sunday night, after obtaining the championship

Just two weeks now until the Dutch Open at Veldhoven, the biggest tournament in the world in terms of numbers participating - over 3,000. New World Champion Christian Kist will be hoping to follow up his glorious victory last week by winning on his home oche. Wesley Harms, Jan Dekker, Benito van de Pas and the rest of the tremendously exciting young Dutch players will fancy their chances of a home victory as well. Tony OāShea is still hurting after that great World final - heāll be redoubling his efforts to land a major title. And of course thereās always Wolfie. But I fancy the brilliant Scotty Waites to bounce back from his Lakeside disappointment by taking out this prestigious title.
Follow the last four of the Dutch Open live here. The Silverback is currently 2-0 up on Dave Prins in a best of 5 clash. Cracking atmosphere at Veldhoven. Bobby George must be gutted that he couldnāt make it over for today as his flight was cancelled.
And Tony OāShea is the Dutch Open champion!
go on the silverback
You canāt help but be so impressed with the whole set up at Veldhoven. A large, modern venue and a sell out crowd. 141 boards were used during the tournament with over 3,000 competitors. That takes some organisising and they did it so efficiently. The menās, womenās and youth champions and runners-up all being presented with their trophies together and their getting the very best of order from the very knowledgeable crowd. Well done to Niels de Ruiter and all at the Dutch Darts Federation for another splendid week of top class dartsā¦
Just watching it there Sid, very professional set-up, very boisterous but respectful, crowd creating a magnificent spectacle
Thatās what itās all about mate. 
RIP Doreen Fitzmaurice.
Sad news. Our sympathies to big Martin.
Iām sure thereās a sombre and respectful atmosphere in Rhyl this weekend for the Welsh Masters. Youād have to expect the eventual winner to come from the Chuck Norris / Scotty Waites semi-final.
+1.
This news puts everything into perspective.
