Had plenty of msgs about PL picks- some saying I should be in , some saying other players should be in… Personally think @OfficialPDC got it right this year! Littler HAD to be in! The global attention his rise has attracted is huge for darts! And we as players will all benefit
No hard feelings for Joe Cullen after Premier League snub: ''Littler HAD to be in! The global attention his rise has attracted is huge for darts!"

Last year, Joe Cullen felt it was ''a kick in the balls'' when he did not receive an invitation to the Premier League Darts, but this year 'The Rockstar' can live better with not receiving the nod.
Once again, the Englishman is not among the chosen few this year. The PDC issued invitations to Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Michael Smith, Nathan Aspinall, Gerwyn Price, Rob Cross, Peter Wright and Luke Littler to participate in the prestigious darts competition.
The big question was whether the PDC dared to pick teenage sensation Littler, who made the World Darts Championship final at age 16. They did indeed take that gamble, and that decision is supported by Cullen.
"Had plenty of messages about PL picks- some saying I should be in, some saying other players should be in..." Cullen wrote on his official X (Twitter) account.
''Personally think @OfficialPDC got it right this year!'' the former Premier League finalist continued. ''Littler HAD to be in! The global attention his rise has attracted is huge for darts! And we as players will all benefit," Cullen concludes.

- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
- If he gets even a ticking off there is something drastically wrong. Cut this woke crap, he was celebrating in the heat of the moment, not like he abused Bunting or punched someone, he was elated.Mysstree02-11-2024
