Default Darts commentators on Crack?

Anyone watch the World Darts Final on Sky?
The pair of commentators were talking nonsensical gibberish and didn't even seem to have a basic grasp of the rules of darts!!
Anyway rant over.

Sidney is a legend, he has come out with some of the best one liners ive ever heard over the years.

"He's got the body language of a snake with a hernia!"

"He's got the hand-to-eye coordination of a rattlesnake."

"He's standing the oche with all the composure of a frog in a blender"

"He may practise 12 hours a day, but he's not shy at the burger van"

"its like taking a sausage from a boy in a wheel chair"

"Jockey Wilson . . . What an athlete."

"That was like throwing three pickled onions into a thimble!"

"He's about as predictable as a Wasp on speed"

"Look at the man go, its like trying to stop a waterbuffalo with a
pea-shooter"

"The atmosphere is so tense, if Elvis walked in with a portion of chips,
you could hear the vinegar sizzle on them"

"Big Cliff Lazarenko's idea of exercise is sitting in a room with the
windows open taking the lid off something cool and fizzy."

"It's like trying to pin down a kangaroo on a trampoline"

"Well as giraffes say, you don't get no leaves unless you stick your
neck out"

"His eyes are bulging like the belly of a hungry ch.affinch"

"That's the greatest comeback since Lazarus."

"It's the nearest thing to public execution this side of Saudi Arabia."

"His physiognomy is that of a weeping Madonna."

"He's as cool as a prized marrow!"

"Under that heart of stone beat muscles of pure flint."

"He looks about as happy as a penguin in a microwave."

"The pendulum swinging back and forth like a metronome"

"His face is sagging with tension."

"The fans now, with their eyes pierced on the dart board."

"He's been burning the midnight oil at both ends."

"That's like giving Dracula the keys to the blood bank"

"As they say at the DHSS, we're getting the full benefit here."

"He is as slick as minestrone soup"

"There hasn't been this much excitement since the Romans fed the
Christians to the Lions."

"The players are under so much duress, it's like duressic park out
there!"

"This lad has more checkouts than Tescos."

"John Lowe is striding out like Alexander the Great conquering the
Persians"

"When I see Steve Davis I see two letters... C S... Cue Sorceror"

"By the time of the final on Sunday he should be fit to burst!"

"There's only one word for that - magic darts!"

"Keith Deller's not just an underdog, he's an underpuppy!"

"I don't know what he's had for breakfast but Taylor knocked the Snap,
Crackle and Pop outta Bristow"

"Even Hypotenuse would have trouble working out these angles"

"Steve Beaton - The adonis of darts, what poise, what elegance - a true
roman gladiator with plenty of hair wax."

"If you're round your auntie's tonight, tell her to stop making the
cookie's and come thru to the living room and watch these two amazing
athletes beat the proverbial house out of each other"

"When Alexander of Macedonia was 33, he cried salt tears because there
were no more worlds to conquer..... Bristow's only 27."

"Eat your heart out Harold Pinter, we've got drama with a capital D in
Essex."

"If we'd had Phil Taylor at Hastings against the Normans, they'd have
gone home."

"He's playing out of his pie crust."

"They won't just have to play outta their skin to beat Phil Taylor.
They'll have to play outta their essence!"

"Darts players are probably a lot fitter than most footballers in
overall body strength."

"There's no one quicker than these two tungsten tossers... "

"Look at him as he takes his stance, like he has been sculptured,
whereas Bobby George is like the Hunchback of Notre Dame."

"He's playing like Robin Hood in the Nottingham super league"

"Phil Taylor's got the consistency of a planet ... and he's in a darts
orbit!"

"The atmosphere is a cross between the Munich Beer Festival and the
Coliseum when the Christians were on the menu."

"Jockey Wilson, he comes from the valleys and he's chuffing like a
choo-choo train!"

"He's like D'Artagnan at the scissor factory."

I play darts at a desent Pub level and i'm sure I could beat some of the guys that play in the BDO.
The guys in the PDC are just on another level so much better.

The man is clearly mental and doesn't even have a grasp of reality, just saying stupid one liners and talking bollocks doesn't make you a good commentator!!

when i was a kid chrimbo meant the embassey darts was on the telly,it was kp roast peanuts,tins of watneys and double diamond and skol for me dad and grandad,i'd be on the panda pop and multiple world champ eric bristow would be chucking arrers and sid waddell would be commentating with tony green.

for that reason them days are known as the glory days when athletes of the oche fully trained in throwing a arrer with a fag in the other hand and cheap gold jewelery to counter balance it all would sup lagers between legs.

it was huge and me dad would go to jolleys in stoke and watch it live and tell us how to play the game.
if your into darts and had been around in the 80's you know why sid still does what he does

Fat 20, skinny green bit, skinny red bit, lipstick, all perfectly understandable if you watch/play darts lol. i play with my pals quite regular, and sidneys terminology has even made it into our games, one of my pals has got the sayings and accent down to a T, brings in a bit of comedy to the games. i even bought said pal a set of sid wadell flights for his birthday, 30 pack with sidneys face and classic one liners on them.

Fair enough Sid is annoying at times but it's nothing on the amount of times that the BBC remind you that Martin Adams is the Captain of England! Who gives a fuck!

The BDO is farcical, anyone see Adams 1st round match against Fleet? Epically shit.

On the other hand, Taylor was unbelievable at times on Sunday. Some of the checkouts he had at crucial times were brilliant. Fair play to Whitlock tho, he played very well and he'll be a tough nut to crack next year in the PL.

Who's the 2nd Wild Card entry going to be? Thank fuck Mardle is gone, he is a tool!

100%. Can you imagine the likes of The Count in a PDC PL match with the crowd giving him proper stick the whole time? He'd piss his pants I reckon.......or invest in some Mervyn King earplugs.

The only saving grace for the BDO is the women's game - it's 100% comedy gold.

Brilliant

Woman's darts is fucking awful

You ever seen women playing their league games in the pub? Because there is obviously a set time fopr pub closing, if they get to the doubles and cant hit them then they move on to the next game then try again at the end if there is time. Thats fucking awesome

I know, the worst part was after Wolfie's 26-dart leg, the boy was still on 155! He scored 5 with 3 darts n that leg. Fucking 5!!!

Chop - Aye, I've had the pleasure of seeing some of the lassies play in my local. Fucking waste of time. I'm nae saying I'm great, infact I'm far from it but they are fucking hopeless.

Claim to fame is beating the former World Junior Champ earlier ths year over 1 leg when we were pished in The Brewster. I refuse to play him now so I can keep my 100% record! ha ha!

His entrance is ridiculous. They pretty much all are in the BDO, mostly all crazy tunes from the 90's with shit props. Bobby George has a lot to answer for.

And WTF is with Hankey's shirt? Hang on - he was also just saying he's confident of doing a 170 finish or even a 9 darter! Good een!

Hendo is an amazing advert for Aberdeen eh? haha! Buttries and beer is fit it's a aboot!

I honestly don't think he's ever even done a 9 darter in practice! I don't think they are good enough!

I fucking wet myself when they were talking about doing one!

Best bit about his win? He finished the match on double 1

Is hendo still in? He's a big loun
