Luke 'the Nuke' Littler - 16yo darts prodigy

[marty21]

Can't see Humphries losing 3 on the bounce with how he's throwing.

Humphries is piling in those 180s

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Double 2 for 5-2 now it's 4-6

But it can change so quickly. Can change again.

 

[ruffneck23]

Wow that was good, gutted for Littler but he has a long career ahead.

Why do umpires at dart championships all look and sound like a supporting character in a Guy Ritchie film?

That was incredible, well deserved for Humphries but well done to Littler.

 

[Maggot]

It wasn't to be. Still, an amazing journey for Luke Littler.

 

[Elpenor]

That was superb from both players, both averaging over 100 in the match

 

[redcogs]

Some game that, well done the winner and better done the young Lancastrian - he looks set fair for a great future eh?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Humphries too good.

Can see that Littler's thinking about those missed doubles in the last leg.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

darts has a macho image, but they always kiss each other at the end. It's positively European.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Enjoyed that. There's a lot to like about darts.

It’s a shame that ref is retiring. I could listen to his growly east end gangster tones calling the scores like he’s about to shoot your kneecaps off all day.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Got to say they're both lovely.

It's great theatre, isn't it?

 

[marty21]

Excellent, might get into the arrahs again , enjoyed the final Humphries was awesome , one dart would have seen him 5-2 down , then he reels off 5 on the bounce. The Nuke did himself proud.

Also, true story.

I told my 15 year old daughter that that's how my very posh sounding mother in law sounds when noone is around and thats why she does the bingo at flower club.

All the twos... Shut up you mug.

We proper chuckled and now we can't unsee it.

He actually looks a lot like Lenny McClean

Great final . . . deserved winner . . . Russ Bray and Dan Dawson both got on my tits for the duration of the final.

Sportsmanship exemplary as always. That's a feature of darts. You applaud your opponent.

There's been some epic onstage meltdowns in darts down the years. Wouldn't miss it for the world.

I was having this discussion randomly as I was watching with the other half. Am I right to venture darts is one of the very few sports where you couldn’t cheat even if you wanted? Once you eliminate using non-compliant darts, at least…

Littler is on GMB this morning but not the world champion who played some of the best darts of all time - says it all.

He's doing BBC Breakfast. He's on now.

 

[Petcha]

Also ITV pays more

 

[Numbers]

That might be so, but watching the just concluded leg, the cameraman (or producer) knew where to zoom in for Littler’s second throw, and early on in the leg as well when to my feeble mind there’s no way anyone could know his next move.

Witchcraft, I tell you!

 

[Petcha]

That's the maddest job in the world
