Update given on Larry Butler's condition: 'We're approaching the edge of the forest'
News
Recently, the darting world was shocked to learn of the news that Larry Butler had been rushed into hospital with a heart attack. This came after a recent appearance at the World Cup of Darts and now an update has been given on Larry's condition.
The wife of the inaugural World Matchplay champion released a statement on Facebook with the message being that while he isn't out of the woods yet they can see the light at the end of the tunnel. In addition a Dr. finally said that Butler will recover which is of course a massive relief.' 'Today was a very good day. I finally got a Dr. to say that Larry will recover. Of course no one can make any promises but I believe that God will continue to hear our prayers and Potentially heal him completely and back to full function.' 'They did not remove the vent today but I'm thinking it might be because it's the weekend. His heart is functioning well without medication, his blood pressure is good and his kidneys are functioning well.' 'I'm hoping the vent comes off tomorrow because he is clearly agitated by it. It's a day by day process now. Keep the prayers coming, we're approaching the edge of the forest and hoping for a clear path ahead.'

- It's so disappointing the Modus Super Series is no longer on TV. Watching it on YouTube is not really the same. It's absolutely excellent and most importantly Richie Burnett is competing this week, Richie seems to want to headbutt the board when collecting his darts.richieburnettrocks14-01-2025
- I want him to do well this year, but Mike de Decker needs to settle himself, and let his darts do the talking. There's no need to make it easier for the PDC to overlook him in the future.
UndartedWaters14-01-2025 - 2024 was "the year of the underdog", but in reality showed the depth of talent in the PDC. Too deep for the PDC apparently, who got spooked and pulled out the bath plug, most likely to the detriment of the sport. I am sure most fans would want up-and-coming players to be given a hand up, not a slap down.UndartedWaters13-01-2025

- Newly relegated Tour Card holders made up 26/256 of the Q School Final Stage field: 10.16%. They won 3/29 of the Tour Cards on offer: 10.34%. This suggest that the 'worst of the best' are of a similar standard to the 'best of the rest' which is notable but surely unsurprising.Scoobedybop13-01-2025
- Now this is a heart-warming story. A top-32 pro-player giving up his time to help out in a humble role at Q school. Well done Ricardo.UndartedWaters12-01-2025

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
- This coming from the lowest ranked player in it who was only selected by his paranoia for attention from the crowd by having to conduct the crowd to his walk on music. I know a lot of darts fans who cannot stand Arsepinall, oddly I know people who don't like darts but frequently attend events for the atmosphere and have no idea who was playing. So for all the whining players not selected, change your walk on music and pathetically beg for affection from the crowd....please cheer for me ohhh please cheer.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
