ANDERSON: I DON’T GIVE TWO MONKEYS ABOUT DARTS

GARY ANDERSON admits he doesn’t give a MONKEYS about darts when away from the oche.

‘The Flying Scotsman’ was knocked out in round two of the Winmau World Masters after losing 4-3 to James Wade.

World No.6 Anderson left reporters stunned by confessing he pays no attention to the sport outside of playing.

Ando was asked whether he got an invite to star in last month’s Saudi Arabia Masters, and replied: “I don’t watch darts, honestly.

“I don’t give two monkeys, no. I’ve not got a clue. Is it more than an hour in a plane? There’s your answer then.”

Anderson reached the semi-final of the World Championship before falling to Gian van Veen in a cracking bout.

The Musselburgh marksman insists he is heading into this campaign with no set goals.

He added: “Not really, because when it doesn’t tick off, you look like a right muppet.

“I’m going to do this and that, but if it doesn’t happen, oh we’ll just forget about that then.

“I play darts. If you win, great. If you lose, great I get to go home.

“That is the complete, absolute end of it. That’s what it’s all about.”

Anderson also confirmed he will be in action at Players Championship 1 and 2 in Hildesheim next Monday.

He said: “Yeah I will be there. It’s a lovely little town. Good noodles and good kebab house.

“It’s the start of the year and there is a long road to go.”
