Darts fans all saying the same after Simon Whitlock and Christian Perez MISS 18 darts at double in crazy Ally Pally leg
DARTS fans are all saying the same after Simon Whitlock and Christian Perez were involved in a dramatic leg at the World Championships.
The pair were facing off in the second round at the Alexandra Palace.

But in the third leg of the final set, the duo completely lost their cool when trying to hit a double.
Remarkably, 18 darts ended up being MISSED.
Whitlock was first to get the chance, but was unable to find tops with both efforts going above the wire before Perez squandered three at D18.
The Aussie probably couldn’t believe his luck, although he handed the incentive back to his opponent after failing to convert.
They went back and forth before Whitlock eventually prevailed in 30 darts, but only after they missed nine darts apiece at the outer ring.
And the Wizard would close out the match in the very next leg to claim a 3-2 victory.
But fans on social media have been left in shock at the standard of their doubles in the leg prior.
One said: “Perez and Whitlock need to be removed from the tournament entirely after that leg.
“Embarrassing. Seen better darts at Flight Club.”
A second said: “Whitlock and Perez their serving up a leg of darts that I’d knock out in the pub after 8 pints.”
A third chimed in with: “Pure pub darts at its finest there – 18 missed darts in just one leg from Whitlock and Perez.”
A fourth responded: “I can’t believe how many darts were missed in that leg between Whitlock and Perez. Jesus Christ. Whitlock’s games are never boring .”
