SuperGoose75 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Well what an incredible 16yr old. When I watched him in his first round match, I said to myself -nobody is stopping this kid. And he is now a finalist in the World Darts final tomorrow night. It is set up to be a cracker with the other finalist Luke Humphries throwing out of this world darts in his semi final. It would be a fairy tale ending for ''Luke the Nuke'' to be victorious, however I think the now world No 1 . the other Luke,Mr Humphries will spoil the party. 🎯 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Not particularly a darts fan, but I did watch him. After the first set, I thought the bubble had burst. Happy to be proven wrong. Seems a decent lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke L ups his game to the occasion and seemingly has no nerves. Luke H was flawless tonight but he wasn't put under the cosh at all, tomorrow will be different. Impossible to pick a winner but I hope the young man wins, he has been amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Not watched the darts, but am incredibly impressed with the way he carries himself on all the news articles. Hopefully he can win the Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 His success has certainly given darts a publicity boost, record viewing figures apparently and lots of newspaper coverage. We may even see Bullseye resurrected. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 One if the rugby lads made this, then had to turn off his twitter notifications because it went nuts 😅😅 Not often you hear folk walk in a bar and ask for the darts to be put on 😅😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabbers Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 i think the pressure finally got to him tonight and all the hype was a bit too much for him ,i really wanted him to win ,but not to be ,,incredible darts player though and i,m sure he will be the world number one in a couple of year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weihrauch17 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Great final, that missed double two was the game. He handled himself superbly and both players are a true credit to Darts. Well done both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Good luck to the lad, I think he could be around for a few years. Perhaps his "girlfriend" won't be.🙄 Its been some time since I last watched aa darts tournament, but I remember the call, "best of order now please". Darts were thrown in almost silence. Tonight there was chanting, song singing and insults shouted. How things change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been like that for a while now, I didn't like the booing but the atmosphere is supposed to be brilliant, a great night out 👍probably what's kept darts going.

Bigteddy1954 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Just read an article about Luke littler and the HMRC with him being runner up in the world championship and winning 200k at 16 years old he has been hit with a tax bill of £76,203 & a bill of £7,330 in national insurance tax cutting his winnings nearly in half Wow what a hit for the lad.

discobob Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 He will have a manager who will be taking a cut of that as well I suppose - and he will be able to claim back expenses for his travelling/accommodation/coaching I would imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
