Rob W 0 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Golf is borderline. If they had to carry their own clubs, and run between shots, then fair dos. Darts is as much a sport as Donkey Kong. disagree totally - it requires individual skill (as opposed to football) and your performance doesn't depend on your kit (F1) or where the other guy places his shots (snooker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a miss when you don't post. Any athlete can just walk on to a football pitch and make a difference such is the lack of skill required to function effectively. Nail on head mate.

Guest alex Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 And why Shove Ha'penny will never make the Olympics. Don't mind a bit of darts or snooker tbf and appreciate the skill, etc. involved. I do have a bit of trouble thinking of them as sports though. Along with anything else dominated by the UK, played primarily in pubs, snooker halls etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38505 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have no problem acknowledging the skill involved in Darts and Snooker, and Golf for that matter. But they aren't sports. They are hobbies, pastimes, whatever. The Olympics (summer and winter)isn't a bad barometer for what counts as sport for me tbh. Obviously a few glaring exceptions, but generally sound.

Billy Castell 0 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I wondered why there was a 'Golden Bawls' headline. Anyway, Beckham getting a lifetime achievemnent award is a fucking joke. Good player, but not at the level of Phil Taylor, Ritchie McCaw, Pele, Michael Schumacher, Brian Clough, Alex Ferguson, Ross Braun or Tony McCoy.

Gemmill 34146 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Aye honestly, who gives a shit about it anymore. I wouldn't care if the show was still the sports review of the year, but it's utter fucking crap even outside of the nominations these days.
