Dartsnews : Thanks for taking time out to talk to me Chris, can you first of all tell the readers how you got into darts?

Dartsnews : You won your tour card out of the usual huge field at Q-School at Wigan, how was this experience and how would you sum up your first year on the tour so far?
Chris : The experience is amazing, it gives you the urge to want to play more darts, make you realise what you can do.
This year: Brilliant so far, I've done better then I expected I ever would but I'm happy with how my games improving and I'm just going to keep plugging away and not get ahead of myself.
Dartsnews : Also you have qualified for the UK Open and a few of the Euro Tour events streamed online, how valuable have these experiences been for you in only your first full year on the tour?
Chris : All experience is valuable regardless, and playing on the stage in front of thousands of people is great, it makes you want more and more. Hopefully I can go better next year and use this experience gained so far.

- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
