PDC Tour Card holder Adam Smith-Neale suspended with immediate effect by DRA after punching opponent
PDC
Adam Smith-Neale has been suspended with immediate effect by the Darts Regulation Authority (DRA). As a result, the 30-year-old Englishman cannot compete in PDC tournaments for the time being.
Smith-Neale made negative headlines Monday after footage was circulated showing "The Bulldog" slapping his opponent after losing a match at a local tournament in England.
The DRA reports that Smith-Neale has the right to challenge the provisional suspension. There will be an investigation into Smith-Neale's conduct in the coming period, after which he will be invited to a hearing before the DRA.
This is not the first time Smith-Neale has been in the news negatively. He once broke his leg prior to a BDO tournament in Italy, and later appeared at the tournament on crutches. On Facebook there are also a deluge of complaints against Smith-Neale with allegations that he ripped off many fans.
Can you imagine this nutjobs reaction if a PDC crowd gave him some of the crap they give Gerwyn ( Price) Whats he going to do then ? Punch the Referee? What an absolute tool!
Give him an opponent like Kevin Burness or Dennis Nilsson (both ex-strongmen competitors), if he tried anything they'd flatten him... Imagine him getting a reception like Peter Manley used to get after the Taylor incident or the Having It Large - Smith-Neale would throw a tantrum on the walk-on and (hopefully) get his arse kicked by security...

- Beau also skipped Players Championships 7 & 8 next week, and PC 3 & 4 four weeks ago. If she next chooses to miss the Women's Series and PC 13 & 14 in mid-April then we can make a fair guess as to her reason.Scoobedybop13-03-2025
- I've commented before,Phil should let us all remember how great he was,and leave your darts in the drawer. Another humiliation will tarnish everything,you couldn't even beat old blokes who you would have beaten before the game started !!rick6712-03-2025

- Likewise, I have always been a fan of Mervyn and with this worry on his mind, it explains why his form and ranking plummeted. It is really sad to hear this, often chatted to Mervyn and Tracey during the Lakeside days, both are lovely people. It does seem naive not acknowledging the fact it was earnings, surely there must be others in the same situation. I really hope the Kings can get through this....would a go fund me be permittedrichieburnettrocks11-03-2025
- I always like Merv,but he does he seems slightly naive with his comments. I wish you all the best, hope you can get sorted,and try and get back to a decent game,a bit of money.....and get rid of the dogs,if that's your main concern,I believe your priorities may be slightly wrongrick6710-03-2025
- What’s with the dogs element to this story, trying to pull at the heart strings? Just goes to show that being a good dart player does not equate to being that bright. Seriously, ‘I thought you didn’t have to pay tax on winnings’ , your a pro dart player and its your line of work, your not playing the lottery or placing a bet. I think it was Phil Taylor who said you should put a third to one side of all winnings into a bank account, obviously Merv was wearing his earplugs at the time.Mysstree10-03-2025
- The thing is... the folks who "humiliated" Taylor in the Seniors Events never really achieved anything in the important events - like Taylor did. Taylor had/has nothing to prove... and beating Taylor after he had retired is of zero value. Taylor in his prime would have made easy work of all of them. Cheers.MrYnyslas197107-03-2025
- Taylor was humiliated in the seniors events,so he really has nothing to lose by playing littler. I think he should put his darts away,and let us remember what a great player he wasrick6706-03-2025
- actually, since you're asking... yes. yes i do.colt06-03-2025
