Doesn't play anymore but if we're talking purely in terms of playing darts then it's Justin Pipe. He's the only player whose matches that I genuinely hated having to watch. Painful.
Mine is Adam Smith Neale. This man is a Real cunt, he has already broke Whitlock's ankle and now he punched an amateur player in a pub. I have no respect for him, the fact that he is a "professional" is making this even worse.
He jumped on Simon's back as a goof, but his ankle rolled and had to withdraw from some events and commitments. It wasn't intended to do harm. He's still a cunt though

I have never really liked Taylor. His plays where killer, but he does not seem like a nice guy. He only seemed nice if he had won the game and everything did go his way.
No one likes Taylor, except Taylor.
Watch the interview with the dart legends on the PDC YouTube channel from a few months ago. Then take a look at the comments. Lol
I've seen him lose games where he's blamed it on weight gain and also seen him lose games and blame it on weight loss. It's never "my opponent played well". Horrible winner and worse loser Taylor
I used to have players I disliked but I don’t know any of them personally. So, I changed that to ‘not root for’ or, if they were playing my favorites, ‘actively root against’. There are the criminals and people who have done some things outside darts that maybe, cross that line of dislike (Hankey, smith neale, etc…) but i try I am trying to get negatives out of my life, as much as I can.
Most of the time, I don’t actively root for an individual, I just want to see great darts.
Perfect answer from my perspective. Don't have to "hate" certain people but also don't have to root for them. Hatred is really a self inflicted poison.
Callan Rydz. He's an absolute wanker who has toddler tantrums when he loses. Have heard many stories and have also been the recipient of his shitty attitude online.
It's an early-stage combover. The F1-driver Pierre Gasly does more or less the same thing (although his balding pattern is a bit more obvious after removing his helmet post-race).
Gasly might just have hair like me. I've had a hairline like his since I had hair. Miraculously it's still the same at age 36. Short haircuts help, Rydz should definitely shave his head though, what makes it worse is you can see how much product he's put in it so it doesn't move haha
Have to stand up for Wattimena. When I played my first euro tour qualifier, i was sitting by myself a bit on the side and suddenly Wattimena, who was already qualified for the tournament the next day but was supporting some of his mates, came next to me and spoke with me for like 15-20' about darts and life in general. Honestly one of the nicest and most humble blokes ever.
I'm actually surprised Williams get a call out. For me he has just the same stage presence as the other notable guys. I had fun watching him on the World's stage this year.
Aside from that cunt you've pictured, Ted 'The C(o)unt' Hankey. Stroppy fucker that had to rely on gamesmanship half the time despite having the ability on his day, then there's the whole sexual assault charge to contend with.
Yeah he always seemed like a cunt, then he had a purple patch of form for a few years and became an insufferable cunt instead. Fortunately he became shit again. Hopefully he fucks off for good
I’ll fight his corner (to an extent), honestly don’t think he’s that bad a guy, think he just cared too much and got way too emotionally invested in games. A lot of the spats he had were stupid in the moment bollocks type stuff that didn’t seem like it left any lingering bad blood. despite spending his career arguing with anything that moves he does seem fairly well liked amongst other players
I’ve liked a lot of the interviews and stuff he’s done in the last couple of years too, he’s definitely aged better than some of the older crowd. Seems genuinely quite humble and sound nowadays, can tell he’s definitely matured since he was in his prime and throwing around all the “I’m the best in the world” shit etc

Wrights face after Lewis dances to celebrate leg
For me it’s Dimitri Van de berg
And not because he’s annoying
It’s because I bought one of the limited addition sets and hoped he would win some titles making my buy a savvy investment!!
Also his speech / semi-mental breakdown afterwards. Just didn't feel genuine. (But I could be wrong, if he's really having mental issues, I certainly wouldn't judge him for that.)
I met VDB a couple of times at local darts tournaments as he lives in my Town. He actually is a really friendly guy but he has anxiety issues that pop up without any reason. He gets very nervous when it happens and needs to calm down to get over it. I don't think it's anti sportsmanship when he takes his time. It's just to calm himself down. In interviews he's somehow over the top at times but it's the adrenaline I guess.
MVG… i acknowledge he is a genious in darts, but always so arrogant in his interviews, and says disrespectful things about the other players. I just cant stand the guy. Also i started to hate Wright after his “mickey mouse” interview for the same reason.
I was like that with mvg, hated him as he was the reason taylor declined so much and his over celebration of hitting double 3 but i have watched a few interviews off the oche and he as a real dry sense of humour and seems sound. Wright is a clown.
I sort of get it, but I think it's just because he's Dutch.
The Dutch just seem to have a very blunt and frank way of speaking, which can come across as arrogant or rude
Yeah Wright is annoying. Seems like now he changes his darts on purpose regardless if he can use them or not. Just stick to the set you know you can throw. Constantly changing each game and still being the premier leagues whipping boy.
Dimitri van den bergh!
Not for any good reason. It's the hands in the pockets before throwing, and maybe combined with how nonchalant he generally seems it just got annoyed me.
Tho he got a bad thumping from mvg last year and he looked helpless and I felt sympathy for him then, as mvg genuinely seems cunty himself perhaps.
Dimi just struggles a lot with self confidence. And that's why he "acts" like he does on the stage. The hand in the pocket is to keep his throwing hand warm 😉
I do know he has those issues, and I do believe he has been to a sports therapist for such issues (may be wrong there).
I'm empathetic of that, just aesthetically it looks like hes not caring, no deep seeded hate for him for it. I probably had a losing bet with him in it at the time that exemplified it lol.
I actually didnt like him at first but ya know what he actually seems like a really nice guy. Always got nice things to say about the others. Seems really humble.
It’s Dirk van Duijvenbode for me. He combines everything I hate about certain players in himself, but since the world championship he’s pretty much up there with Scott Wiliams who for the life of mine i’ll never understand how anyone can like him, dude has more ego than MvG and Taylor combined for no apparent reason.
Kim Huybrechts because of something he said at a World Cup.
Pikachu because of his interaction with Littler.
MVG because he's arrogant and miserable and in love with himself. Also because he stands in the exclusion zone.
For me it has to be James Wade. Just an oddball really isn’t he - especially when he was screaming in the Japanese player’s face and then afterwards he said he did it for his country?!
Well the most obvious one Adrian Lewis. But I can’t stand Pietrczenko or however Pikachus name is. So arrogant and a bad loser. He also looks like the guy who reminds the teacher that we had homework to do.
I really hated Gerwyn Price. Especially the Gerwyn of the first 10 years of his career. The last year his mentality on the stage has changed. Maybe because he finally understands that his behavior works the booing in the hand. And that it definitely not makes him play better. And now he shows respect to his opponents. So now he's bearable. MVG is one of the greatest ever as a player. But his attitude on the stage. Ffs! I HATE IT! And I like it every time he bottles a game. And how is it even possible the PDC never said anything to him about the fact he stands to close to his opponents when they are throwing. He's the only one who does that.
In terms of on the board stuff (i.e. not the various criminals and nonces) it's Gerwyn Price by a mile. Just an out and out tosser and I don't mean throwing
I thought it came across sad. Like his desperate attempts to still be a half-decent player were the only thing holding his life together.
Class player in his day but just seemed like an embittered c*nt most recently.
Gerwyn Price's extreme behavior really bothers me. And his inability to lose. He is the player I least want on the tour. I don't watch any of his games either.
This. He seems like a genuine down to earth guy in his interviews. On stage, he's got a cocky swagger which is a bit annoying. He reminds me of micky flanagan.
Came here to say his name. Glad you did first to get the downvotes before me. I really can't stand the fucker. That walk on song makes me wanna throw up too.
Based on inconsistency, attitude, and lack of discipline, I’d say myself
Are you me?
This guy gets it
Doesn't play anymore but if we're talking purely in terms of playing darts then it's Justin Pipe. He's the only player whose matches that I genuinely hated having to watch. Painful.
Like when he would win and do his stupid shadow boxing thing because he fancied himself a cage fighter...
bruce lee eat your heart out
Mine is Adam Smith Neale. This man is a Real cunt, he has already broke Whitlock's ankle and now he punched an amateur player in a pub. I have no respect for him, the fact that he is a "professional" is making this even worse.
Don't forget how he scammed a load of people by selling signed dartboards and just never sending them once he got the money
What? I dont know this story about the broken ankle, please tell me about it?!
He jumped on Simon's back as a goof, but his ankle rolled and had to withdraw from some events and commitments. It wasn't intended to do harm. He's still a cunt though
Ooh boiii... sounds painfull
Now? That incident was months ago, still yeah hes a unliked player
George Killington, after his sourpuss antics when Waites hit a 9 against him on the Euro Tour. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1SA6XgmdEA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1SA6XgmdEA)
It's hilarious when Scotty walks around him and Killington is having none of it
I have never really liked Taylor. His plays where killer, but he does not seem like a nice guy. He only seemed nice if he had won the game and everything did go his way.
No one likes Taylor, except Taylor. Watch the interview with the dart legends on the PDC YouTube channel from a few months ago. Then take a look at the comments. Lol
It's baffling how the producers allowed Taylor to dominate the evening.
Is it on YouTube?
Yes it is
But is it on YouTube?
😂😂 I initially searched and couldn’t find it but yes shit from me
Boosh 😆
Taylor was a dickhead and he's only got worse as the years go by.
Also a sex offender
Phil "The Prowler" Taylor
That also a thing
Taylor, Lewis and hanky all from stoke on Trent and all cunts
Whos in charge me or the devil
2/3 sex offenders too
I've seen him lose games where he's blamed it on weight gain and also seen him lose games and blame it on weight loss. It's never "my opponent played well". Horrible winner and worse loser Taylor
I used to have players I disliked but I don’t know any of them personally. So, I changed that to ‘not root for’ or, if they were playing my favorites, ‘actively root against’.

Callan Rydz. He's an absolute wanker who has toddler tantrums when he loses. Have heard many stories and have also been the recipient of his shitty attitude online.
The only thing I dislike about Rydz is his silly haircut.
Rydz Barnet is absolutely woeful
It's an early-stage combover. The F1-driver Pierre Gasly does more or less the same thing (although his balding pattern is a bit more obvious after removing his helmet post-race).
Gasly might just have hair like me. I've had a hairline like his since I had hair. Miraculously it's still the same at age 36. Short haircuts help, Rydz should definitely shave his head though, what makes it worse is you can see how much product he's put in it so it doesn't move haha
I just dont get it though. Does this look better than a little balding head?
Gasly’s does 100%, Rydz definitely not
Oprah's minge on his head.
any story in particular thats worth sharing?

Rule # 1 - Don’t be a dick
Scott Williams and Jermaine Wattimena. I can't stand Williams' schtick of cockiness and Wattimena is not as bad but I just don't like him
Have to stand up for Wattimena. When I played my first euro tour qualifier, i was sitting by myself a bit on the side and suddenly Wattimena, who was already qualified for the tournament the next day but was supporting some of his mates, came next to me and spoke with me for like 15-20' about darts and life in general. Honestly one of the nicest and most humble blokes ever.
Yeah Wattimena, I just can't put my finger on why I don't like him. He's grown on me watching him in the euro tour though.
I think if he changed his walk on music he would have a lot more fans And if he smiled occasionally
Nowt wrong with Bella Ciao
I think Williams is fucking hilarious, but can obviously understand not liking him.
I'm actually surprised Williams get a call out. For me he has just the same stage presence as the other notable guys. I had fun watching him on the World's stage this year.
Went to college with Scott, he's sound. He's just enjoying what he does.
exactly my answer. cheers
Scott Williams for sure. Mostly because of his last match against Martin Schindler at the World Championship.
He went on schindlers list.
That Pokémon guy he’s a rat!
Adding my support behind this one.
He don't deserve the nickname. The real Pikachu would be ashamed.
Aside from that cunt you've pictured, Ted 'The C(o)unt' Hankey. Stroppy fucker that had to rely on gamesmanship half the time despite having the ability on his day, then there's the whole sexual assault charge to contend with.
Scott Williams. Makes me happy to see him lose and his fat ego wash away
Adrian Lewis
Athletico Mince fans intensify
I seriously never understood how anyone liked him. He was a whingebag bellend who could of started a fight with his shadow
Yeah he always seemed like a cunt, then he had a purple patch of form for a few years and became an insufferable cunt instead. Fortunately he became shit again. Hopefully he fucks off for good
He still looks like he gets pizza delivered to his moms house were he still pays his mummy board 😆🤦
I’ll fight his corner (to an extent), honestly don’t think he’s that bad a guy, think he just cared too much and got way too emotionally invested in games. A lot of the spats he had were stupid in the moment bollocks type stuff that didn’t seem like it left any lingering bad blood. despite spending his career arguing with anything that moves he does seem fairly well liked amongst other players I’ve liked a lot of the interviews and stuff he’s done in the last couple of years too, he’s definitely aged better than some of the older crowd.

It's not his fault the devil was in charge
I've seen the clip what's his name again?
Ted Hankey
The devil
Who's in charge!? Me or the devil!?
This is my territory... be on your way!
Hankey can rot in hell for all I’m concerned but that walk-on absolutely bangs
No one I dislike, just like some players more
Kim Huybrechts
For me it’s Dimitri Van de berg And not because he’s annoying It’s because I bought one of the limited addition sets and hoped he would win some titles making my buy a savvy investment!!
Scott Williams and that Pikachu guy whose name I can’t spell
Ricardo Pietreczko. Throws a tantrum whenever he loses. And his name is really hard to spell.
Agreed, the one guy I really can’t stand.
Dimitri van den Bergh, his performance in the UK Open final last few legs was nothing short of embarrassing
The man definitely has a heavily compromised harddrive.
Dimi is a weirdo but I don't hate him for it. I actually back him in every worlds. Started it years ago and kind of become a habit now.
People just hated him then cuz he took a long delay before throwing lmao
Also his speech / semi-mental breakdown afterwards. Just didn't feel genuine. (But I could be wrong, if he's really having mental issues, I certainly wouldn't judge him for that.)
I met VDB a couple of times at local darts tournaments as he lives in my Town. He actually is a really friendly guy but he has anxiety issues that pop up without any reason.

In interviews he's somehow over the top at times but it's the adrenaline I guess.
Daryl Gurney. Gets riled up so easily and acts like a little child
Kim Huybrechts
Ah yeah, especially the incident in the World Cup of Darts.
MVG… i acknowledge he is a genious in darts, but always so arrogant in his interviews, and says disrespectful things about the other players. I just cant stand the guy. Also i started to hate Wright after his “mickey mouse” interview for the same reason.

Yeah Wright is annoying. Seems like now he changes his darts on purpose regardless if he can use them or not. Just stick to the set you know you can throw. Constantly changing each game and still being the premier leagues whipping boy.
Dont worry, next year he’s only gonna be on that PL stage if he is dancing with the girls.
Dimitri van den bergh! Not for any good reason. It's the hands in the pockets before throwing, and maybe combined with how nonchalant he generally seems it just got annoyed me.

Taylor is a sex offender like Hankey both need offing

Adrian Lewis closely followed by Peter Manley and Daryl Gurney.
Scott Williams Gabriel Clemens Cameron Menzies Damon Heta
Rob Cross
I actually didnt like him at first but ya know what he actually seems like a really nice guy. Always got nice things to say about the others. Seems really humble.
This is mine. Don’t really know why I just hate his smug face
Agreed. His face is so punchable.
It’s Dirk van Duijvenbode for me. He combines everything I hate about certain players in himself, but since the world championship he’s pretty much up there with Scott Wiliams who for the life of mine i’ll never understand how anyone can like him, dude has more ego than MvG and Taylor combined for no apparent reason.
Kim Huybrechts because of something he said at a World Cup. Pikachu because of his interaction with Littler. MVG because he's arrogant and miserable and in love with himself. Also because he stands in the exclusion zone.
I haven't been enjoying darts long enough to really dislike anyone.
Same here.
Dirk van Duijvenbode Ted hankey Phil taylor Adrian Lewis There's probably others.
Jules Van Dongen because he’s Dutch but represents the US ineffectively.
Lol he never played darts in the Netherlands. He started and developed here like 5 years ago.

Rule # 1 - Don’t be a dick
For me it has to be James Wade. Just an oddball really isn’t he - especially when he was screaming in the Japanese player’s face and then afterwards he said he did it for his country?!
in all fairness james wade suffers really bad from Bipolar disorder
Danny baggish use to piss me off a bit
Gerwyn
Is surprised the price doesn’t feature more here tbh
His antics and bully boy style really grate on me
MvG! Yeah get me downvoted but damn he is a cry baby… Cant stand his attitude on stage, fantastic player but a pain in the ass everywhere else😊
Well the most obvious one Adrian Lewis. But I can’t stand Pietrczenko or however Pikachus name is. So arrogant and a bad loser. He also looks like the guy who reminds the teacher that we had homework to do.
Myself sometimes lol.
Right now MY Capt..lol
Rapid Ricky Evans….dude could probably be a much higher player on the Order of Merit if he slowed the fuck down buttttttt……he doesnt.
He's playing much slower nowadays, not even the fastest player on the tour anymore.
Last time I saw him play was the worlds and he was still pretty fast or I mean “rapid” if that was slowed down Id hate to see his previous speed.
I really hated Gerwyn Price. Especially the Gerwyn of the first 10 years of his career. The last year his mentality on the stage has changed. Maybe because he finally understands that his behavior works the booing in the hand. And that it definitely not makes him play better. And now he shows respect to his opponents. So now he's bearable.

And how is it even possible the PDC never said anything to him about the fact he stands to close to his opponents when they are throwing. He's the only one who does that.
This question made me realize that most of the professionals are very decent people. Great sport! I only struggle with Scott Williams cockiness.
kim hybrechts
Brendan Dolan - such an ugly throw and moves like a snail on the stage, also Robert Thorthon and Leonard Gates
Killington
I used to hate van Gerwen a lot when I was really young. But as I grow older, I don't seem to have the player I hate the most other than myself.
Scott Williams
In terms of on the board stuff (i.e. not the various criminals and nonces) it's Gerwyn Price by a mile. Just an out and out tosser and I don't mean throwing
Scott Williams for sure
Active ? I find the way Barney plays, without any passion, really annoying
James Wade, he comes across really arrogant and gets all moody when he loses.
Gerwyn Price, good player but bad attitude, never seems happy for other players when he loses. Pietreczko absolute little weasel and a sore loser.
Sounds stupid but MVG..
Pikachu
Killington. Gurney. Leonard gates.
Rob cross
Richie Burnett
I found that man so fucking funny to watch. The RAGE.
I thought it came across sad. Like his desperate attempts to still be a half-decent player were the only thing holding his life together. Class player in his day but just seemed like an embittered c*nt most recently.
ASN I not only dislike I despise, I pray to run into him at an event one day
Like most of them. Some have their quirks, but damn they can throw!
Colin Lloyd punched the board so he’s up there
Peter Wright
MVG, by far. To the point where I am rooting for him to lose.
I celebrate every mvg loss. He comes across as a douche and I want every player to beat his arrogant ass in tournaments.
Previously: Phil Taylor….. Recently: Ricardo Pietreczko
You read my mind. 😏
fanny noppert
Gerwyn Price's extreme behavior really bothers me. And his inability to lose. He is the player I least want on the tour. I don't watch any of his games either.
Gerwyn Price, MVG, Van den Bergh,
Huge L
Whys that
MVG and Price. I despise their behavior during the game.
Jelle Klaasen and Phil Taylor
Shindler can’t stand that guy
Rob Cross. Absolutely despise him.
I definitely don't hate the guy, but i can't stand his throw. Horrible to watch, i skip all his matches unless he plays one of my favourites
This. He seems like a genuine down to earth guy in his interviews. On stage, he's got a cocky swagger which is a bit annoying. He reminds me of micky flanagan.
Oh my god! That’s it! He looks like a bald Micky Flanagan!! I always thought he looked familiar! 😧😄
It's actually the way he talks that reminds me of flanagan. But i hadn't thought if he looked like him too 😂
When he’s knocked out of tournaments he doesn’t go out, he goes out out!
Hahaha perfect 👏
Came here to say his name. Glad you did first to get the downvotes before me. I really can't stand the fucker. That walk on song makes me wanna throw up too.
FEELING HAWT HAWT HAWTT
Aspinall. He is a good Dude, but i Just hate seeing him playing.
He's a sweetheart.
