Rob Cross comments on lewd gesture: ''I made a gesture to my manager''
PDC
Rob Cross was eliminated by Scott Williams in the second round of the World Darts Championship on Monday night. Thus, 'Voltage' earned only 15,000 pounds from his participation in the World Darts Championship.
However, his participation at Alexandra Palace will also cost Cross some money, as the former world champion did something that will undoubtedly not pass muster with the disciplinary committee.
The Englishman lost the second set and showed his annoyance by making a lewd gesture with his hands. At the time it was not clear who the gesture was meant for, but on Tuesday Cross came up with an explanation.
The 2018 world champion stressed that the gesture was not toward his opponent.
"Massively disappointed to lose out to my great friend Scott Williams. Good luck to him for the rest of the tournament.
"I made a gesture to my manager about how annoyed I was with my performance. If it offended anyone, I apologise."

- And this should be the end of it. He was playing like a w****r and gestured as such. End of.Mysstree25-12-2024
- Cross will likely be No. 4 in the world after the world's. He's been in the quarter's or higher in 7 out of the 14 ranked TV majors in the last 2 years. Neither Williams or Cross played close to what they're capable of in this match.Matilda6224-12-2024

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
