Borland got a £50 grand bonus for hitting the 9 darter.
The crowd were trolling him hard going into this final leg singing “Scotland get battered everywhere they go” and the wee man hits a 9 in front of them to win it.
(For the uninitiated, a 9 dart finish is the best you can get in Darts)
Watched it live on tv. I’d loved to have been there, mental atmosphere! Imagine having a few quid on that kid winning the game with a 9 darter?!?
Good to see Bo from Superstore doing well FWAH FWAH FWAH!
PURE DRAMA PURE THEATRE PURE DARTS
Damn darts fans look like they have a good time. I watched darts once a few years ago and this one had way more energy and looks way more fun.
I really enjoy playing darts. But I don’t understand the scoring here at all.
I may have to read the rules wiki.
Why does the bullseye seem basically useless in darts? Never seen someone go for it in any of these videos
For those that are unaware the World Darts Championship is the most popular sport on tv across the Christmas season in the UK. We do a live chat each day in /r/darts
This shit fucking rules. I played on a dart team a couple years ago and it was awesome
I had no idea darts was this hype
Barbecue sauce.
the craziest thing to me is that after the last shot the crowd turns into a rave which looks like the precursor to an orgy
What I find fascinating is how fast they throw. Looks like they barely consider it at all, but they’re so accurate.
I have no idea what’s going on, now I know what it must feel like for others watching the sports I like.
Damn darts is hype
Went to a premier league game in Manchester. Honestly one of the best nights of my life
It feels like I’m looking at somebody’s fantasy.
What impresses me more than their ability to throw darts is how fast they do math.
Do I like watching Darts now? That was fuckin epic
There are few moments in sport more joyful than a nine darter.
I will never be this accurate at anything in my life. Except maybe this statement.
This guy fucks.
Darts fans are absolutely mental, I love it.
I dont understand a fuck but I know that was some cool shit he pulled
The pinnacle of fucking sport. Go and get em young man! You fucking beauty! What a great throw. You cannot make it up. This young lad has thrown some great arrows with his hands.
Edit: adding in the limb used.
Darts is the greatest spectator sport of all time
Is this an amateur event? These men are way too in shape to be professionals.
Some context here: There have been 11 nine dart finishes ever at the World Championship. This is the 72nd World Darts Championship (some odd stuff happened with a split). This is the third televised nine dart finish this year. They just don’t happen that often
This was the deciding leg of the match. They had already played 21 legs, and Brooks was on a comeback run, he had all the momentum.
Willie Borland is playing in his first ever World Darts Championship
I honestly believe the third dart camera shot zoom in is the best cinematography in all of sports.
As a Yank, I would rather attend this event then the Super Bowl…
