At last, a sport worth watching starts on sky on Thursday   it's stuff like this that I pay for sky sports for   Bollocks to the EPL and the 4th place finishers league  

Can't see past Van Gerwen but would love to see James Wade do it

What is the one in the bottom pic trying to do. Throw horseshoes?

And why so many empty seats in the arena?

[consilio]

A load of fat lads throwing arrows.

Never been a sport.

[peiowl]

Well, if they're "fat lads" I can't wait to see some sexy women.

has Old men in silly trousers been one either ? or little rich boys driving cars around a circuit 40 times ? and should we never speak of baseball ( sorry rounders ) on this site ever again !!

I love baseball, Coronation Street, the Montreal Canadiens and Canadian women rugby players. I'm also fond of older women.

Same old argument anytime someone questions whether what is essentially a pub pastime is labelled a sport.  Not denying it requires a level of skill developed through practice but for me a sport is where you need not only the skill to play it but require a level of fitness to simply be able to perform effectively.  Formula 1 might be rich little boys but they become that often due to the rewards of the contracts, Hamilton didn't grow up wealthy but neither was he poor, but the level of personal fitness to be an F1 driver along with the skill required make it a sport for me.

There are exceptions of course, dart and snooker being two predominantly British ones, but I still cannot seriously take darts as a sport!!

Darts you need loads of stamina !! sometimes games start at 7pm and go on untill 11 pm !! after 8 pints it get realy hard to aim the arrows   this in Holland is almost impossible as after 8 submarines and a puff of various ciggys !! you alomost always end up hitting the barmaids tittys with the arrows

Sport or not, it makes cracking viewing IMO

I'm off to watch a few of the Olympic 'sports' now. A bit of synchronised swimming or maybe a lass running about a square with a ribbon

or even a winter sport like standing up on a sledge

I'd like to see you smile constantly for that long!!!!

Got to agree with the ribbon and ball thing though, what is that all about???
