[quote=âThe Dunphâ]Lewis is very much not an alright sort, Farmer.
Examples of alright sorts in the darting world:
Co Stompe
John Part
Peter Manley
Ronnie Baxter[/quote]
Would go along with all of that.
Not a fan of Lewis at all but heâs playing some unbelieveable darts so you have to respect him.
To the alright sorts category Iâd add
Vincent van der Voort
Terry Jenkins
Gary Anderson
Simon Whitlock
Paul Nicholson
Dennis Priestley
Wayne Mardle
Steve Beaton
Gary Robson
and of course Bobby George
Non alright sorts include
Mervyn King
Kevin Painter
James Wade
Michael van Gerwen (comes across as completely thick)
Robert Thornton (big hun)
Ted Hankey (tosser)
Martin Adams for obvious reasons
Olly Croft who runs the BDO is without doubt the biggest cunt in Darts - watch the Blood On The Carpet documentary on the Darts split to see why

I was actually going to go back and edit my post of examples of alright sorts a while ago to include the above highlighted players. Theyâre all alright sorts as well of course.
I would have Anderson and Beaton as being grand as well but wouldnât hold them in the same esteem as the others.
Nicholson, Mardle and Robson are not alright sorts. The latter purely becuase he plays with the BDO.

Agreed on those highlighted above.
While i wouldnât be a fan of King or Van Gerwen, they donât repulse me in the same way as the others on your list.
Shepherd is a quite glaring omission from your list, Sid.
Bobby George is not an alright sort.
Donât know much about Olly Croft as i wouldnât be a fan of that tard BDO associationâŚ

Bobby George. [/quote]
Nicholson comes across as an alright sort in any interviews Iâve seen with him. Mardle - you either love hom or hate him. Think the reason Robson wonât switch is down to the fact he makes a good living from playing exhibitions with Darryl Fitton rather than any anti-PDC thing. Same reason Anderson wouldnât switch for so long, they had a business together. Plus I donât think Robson is good enough to cut it in the PDC and he knows that himself. Anybody who is still bitter over the split at this stage really is some cunt, eg Adams, Hankey. Donât think Bobby George is really that anti-PDC, Iâve seen him in the crowd at PDC events a good few times.
Martin Fitzmaurice, the âLetâs Play Dartsâ tub of lard, now thereâs another absolute cunt of the highest order.

Agreed.
Other non alright sorts weâve somehow excluded are:
Farmer, the fact that there was a split at all is purely down to Croft, an absolute dinosaur and a horrible, horrible man.
Shepherd doesnât even need to be mentioned at this stage, his cuntishness is a given.
Re match fixing allegations, the one that sticks in my mind is the first round of the 2006 Lakeside when Robson played Anderson. A lot of money went on a 3-1 win for Anderson and thatâs what happened. Both were in poor enough form and the winner met Barney in the second round so they seemingly decided to make a few quid on it between them. Never proved though. Anderson was also involved in something similar in the Grand Slam, last year I think it was against Fitton.
I had never heard or saw that Blood On The Carpet documentary about the split but am looking forward to watching it in a half hour now.
[media=youtube]9Iwr3u5HzoM&feature=PlayList&p=CCEC4EA07E49F321&index=0&playnext=1
3-2 up in sets, 2-1 down in legs, Bull on 112 to level, Whitlock hits 180 from 220 to leave tops and Bull fails to check out. Whitlock hits tops with first dart to level the set.
Two 180s in the deciding leg set up a possible nine darter, but missed the seventh treble but took the leg easily.
I donât think he is consistent enough to trouble the likes of Taylor though.
