Littler is probably more dislikeable than Gerwyn Price when things aren't going his way. 

 

Only a kid so understandable but every time he's slightly off form or playing someone who is throwing better,  he could trip over his bottom lip

You'd think he has to get that maiden win tonight.

Shows what I know lol

 

Seems to be that he can't yet string a few great performances together in a row in a single night.

He just lost his head. He'll calm it down with experience. 

 

Nothing wrong with it imo.

Reality is no matter who won the worlds this year littler was always going to be a bigger story, how often does a 17 year old come along and be as clinical and outright brilliant at their sport? Good to see the boring and hated humphries absolutely bossing it again. Done him 6-4 in the final at 5s.

Mental that Aspinall has to gesture to the crowd to stop them booing Humphries... Yes he's boring but he's the most inoffensive player ever :dunno:

It's every single time though. This is about the 6th time I've clocked him looking absolutely miserable, whereas all the other players take it on the chin and give the opposition a hug. 

 

Like I say, he's a kid playing with men, so can't judge him too much. Hopefully with a bit more time and maturity we start to see him show a bit more class in defeat. 

 

Big fan of Humphries, I think it's one of them. People probably saw the Germans booing him at the worlds and then decided that's what you're supposed to to. Crowds always full of generic #banter #lads  so it's not a surprise.

It is my opinion, but it's far from an isolated one.

 

When the presenters are discussing it on TV, you know there is an issue.  Even Humphries has been questioned in interview over the criticism towards him.

 

Does he speak well?  I find him to be a bit dismissive and to be carrying a bit of a chip on his shoulder. 

 

If he was a popular player we wouldn't be having this conversation.

We can agree to disagree.

I feel the same way about Humpries. I think the darts going crowd are craving for a pantomime villian for the 'show', a James Wade type at the top table. Unfortunately they seemed to have picked the inoffensive Humpries for some reason.

 

Its silly because you dont really need one.

People on this thread though that will tell you why they’re booing him. I really don’t get it.

I agree, No need for anyone to be getting booed whilst playing. 
Just boo them on the walk on if you feel that it is necessary, there’s not many players at all that deserve it though.

 

The PL crowds are as bad as Ally Pally, so it’s no surprise though

Littler’s body language really odd tonight, either he’s absolutely knackered or someone’s pissed him off.

 

Seen off Humphries brilliantly though.

I’m really starting to lose interest in the premier league. The standard is brilliant but the same players playing the same format, which is way too short, for months on end, it just gets a bit stale. They need to have more players so there’s more variety.

Yeah,much the same as me.When Anderson dropped out a couple of years ago you at least got a different player each week.Find the Euro Tour far more enjoyable.

Yeah stopped watching it a few years back. Just find it boring and repetitive.

Very much depends on what the PDC's primary purpose is with it in terms of making money.

 

If it's to sell out arenas then the format very much still works. The vast majority attending are going because the big names have landed in town for a one off night they can see live and have a few beers too.

 

If it for TV then yes, it gets a bit samey as the weeks go on for the viewer.
