chartpolski 22,626 Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I think I've just figured out what the "no kneeling" is ! ! Back then, if the darts players "took the knee", most of them wouldn't be able to get back up without help ! ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From wat I can remember our pubs dart team was fun to watch when they played the Henry Ford team and most other teams from Dagenham the after game fights were comical . Plenty of attitude too much beer darts back then coupled with “ leave it “ “hold up son “ “ it’s only a game of darts “ great to watch while I was in the multiple card schools that went down with the same aggro in them days every day pub life darts pool cards beer food highly eventful Love them days Edited December 22, 2020 by green lurchers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wilbur foxhound 480 Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I was sure it was glue the little fat c**t was sniffing not beer,my brother was in a big competition in Tiffany’s in Glasgow and Wilson was in it my brother asked him for his autograph for me and he told my brother to f**k off,he was gonna flatten him,anyway Wilson got into the final against a lad called Nesbit the final was up on the stage,one of his darts bounced back off the wire on fell down a small hole in the floor it took someone about half an hour to find it as he only had one set to his name.
