Luke 'the Nuke' Littler - 16yo darts prodigy

[scifisam]

I wasnt the one who raised the possibility of him using an umbrella. Like footballers I'm sure there are far more 'sophisticated' options available to him than tapping in his hours into a website once a week like I do.

Shouldn't you be discussing more important matters though?

Just clicked on this last post and wondered why the fuck people were suggesting he needed an umbrella

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Could just be that normally nobody gives a fuck about darts because it's a pub game, not a sport.

It takes physical and psychological skill to be any good. Hardly comparable to bridge or dominoes.

He's in the Bahrain Masters final right now.

Previous stream doesn't work - anyone got one?

 

[Numbers]

No stream needed, he’s won it.

(Always hate to see a good whatever go to waste.)

 

[Petcha]

But seriously... 16.. ?

 

[Numbers]

Yep, 16, proven.

Absolutely incredible darts player.

 

[JimW]

Reigns in Bahrain.

 

[Elpenor]

Darts audience in Bahrain seemed the same as anywhere else, presumably the crowd was mainly formed from the expat community in that area

Littler's playing on itv4 in Dutch Masters.

You might have to be quick though

Littler & Humphries are going to have some rivalry over the next few years.

 

[imposs1904]

As great as Littler is I'd be surprised if he dominates darts in the same way that Taylor - and to a lesser extent MVG - did in years gone by.

Anyone watching the young mans 2nd stab at the worlds tonight against the Green Machine MvG?

Was just thinking about that, I can see Ally Pally in the distance from my window

 

[Numbers]

The Nuke takes the 1st set, neither thrower on form yet tho’.

 

[Numbers]

Nuke 2 up. MvG coming into it in the 3rd.

 

[two sheds]

3-0 up in sets

following it on guardian

 

[Numbers]

Not the best darts, MvG is just not throwing.

 

[Numbers]

Quality of darts compared to last year and/or what they can throw is well below par.

 

[imposs1904]

I know it's petty but the length of Littler's dart points get on my tits. They look like parody darts.

 

[Numbers]

4-0 to the Nuke.

 

[two sheds]

Looks like Littler has unnerved him (understandably) hence MvG's scores so low now.

I read 9 fucking pages of this thread before I realised they were all a year old

I even thought "huh, that Sun photo was ages ago, but I guess it's relevant to the thread"

Although this Reddit thread did lead me to this clip, which is one of those which manages to outdo itself with every passing second

Hankey. was a wonderful player to watch. Such a smooth throwing action. Shame, he was an absolute scumbag.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Will have to take your word on both
