To be fair, "The Cons" that live on that beautiful patch of land are more British than Australian anyway!!. So they should of celebrated with England winning 🤣
Nicholson's tough bad guy image felt so false and phony. If he just concentrated on playing and not being a WWE character he might've gone even further in his darts career.
great match .. although i respectfully disagree with the title of this video.. all of the players were under tremendous pressure.. and i believe we should respect that.. i guess its hard to understand for a person who never played a big dart match
Simple Student Living yeah I don’t get why people have this agenda against him. I mean he’s a character and what’s needed in the modern game to make it interesting. A rivalry between price and van Gerwyn could be what attracts new viewers to the sport. Darts at the moment lacks characters, we need a bit of controversy to make it watchable. Sure price can take it too far but so can everyone, I mean bobby George even said that behind closed doors price was a humble guy. Price puts it all on for the camera, whereas Paul is more of a general twat.
@Stoned Sloth I agree. Couldn’t have said it better. I get why good sportsman and gentleman in sports are respected and praised, but you’ve got to have a bit of personality to stand out and grow your own brand. Some people have to be villains. In boxing the build ups for fights where both fighters are polite are very boring
Watched this live and watching it again, i still fail to see what he has done wrong. He is visibly upset at the loss and i don't see what else there is to it....
Also he proceeded to sulk in the corner and started punching the wall just because he lost. Basically he exhibited the kind of behaviour you might expect from a 10 year old.
Phil Taylor in a nutshell. Gives a warmer hug to the guy handing out the medal than to his own team mate when they won. It's always all about him and him alone. Horrible little specimen.
Completely agree. Never really been a fan of Wade but have great respect for just how good he is. Same with Hamilton, I mean I found myself laughing when he beat Jenkins the other day purely because of how good he was!
"just look at Paul Nicholson what a bad sports person to act like that" Like what? Could someone post a time reference please. All I see is an upset runner-up and a passionate speech
nothing wrong here, both lewis and nicholson didn't offer the hand for the handshake properly. also, who cares about the board? give the guy a 1 minute break to compose himself, lewis wouldn't care about the board if he had lost, so stop having a go at nicholson. yes, he has done wrong things in the past, but in this video he has done nothing wrong. stop hating! p.s WHITLOCK FTW!
If you gonna dislike dart players because you think the're arrogant, then just never watch darts at all. It's about the sport, not about the personality of the players. I think Adrian Lewis and Paul Nicholson are great players. You have to show a little respect... Just chose favorites but don't dislike players because of their personality. Go On Van Gerwen!
@GarageAnthemsKirky You obviously didn't watch the whole clip i uploaded, i watched this on Sky Sports & was surprised by his behaviour i have never seen a sportsman act this way since John Mac Enroe in 1981 & he only did this to psyche himself up.
@iguanna41 What is it that Nicholson has supposedly done?? He's genuinely gutted at having lost and then he has to put up with Adrain Lewis shouting his mouth off at him! If anyone was unprofessional it was Lewis for turning up to his game absolutely smashed. Theres no way Nicholsons sportsmanship should be brought into question.
People need to calm down. I've met Nicholson on numerous occasions and all the guy has been is nice, friendly and respectful. He let me and my mates have a picture with him, and even took a picture of us himself! He wears his heart on his sleeve and just wants to introduce a character, which I think is fair enough. How about when big Lloyd punched the board! Let the players show emotion.
Nicholson is like the "Earl Strickland" of darts except Earl is one of the greatest pool players of all time. it's ok to throw darts in anger if there is NO chance of hitting someone
Honestly folks, let's be fair: Paul is not a bad loser! Admittedly, he was really very disappointed here, angry and sad that Australia didn't win the title. But why should he be a bad loser? I actually really like Adrian Lewis, but we all know that he often has conflicts with other players (it all looked good between Adrian and him again in 2018). Who else did Paul have conflicts with in his career? With Kim Huybrechts at the "World Cup" 2015? Also, Kim is known for often having conflicts with players and often not being innocent about it. And Phil Taylor? Honest? He doesn't like a lot of players anyway, especially the ones who beat him (remember that great game against Nicholson at the UK Open in 2011. That's why he never liked him anyway). I remember, how Paul was/is always fair with the other players, for example losing to Thornton, Newton, Chisnall and so on. There was always a handshake, very often hugs and kind words.
@clairefraser63 first time i watched a dart game yesterday. i absolutely loved it, what a thrilling match. Nicholson's behaviour was strange indeed, but I agree with clairefraser63, the Australians seemed to play like a real team, frequently exchanging high-fives while England didn't show any kind of team spirit to me..
He wasn't a sore loser, he never reached his peak in darts. And when you have 2 darts on the wire on doubles to win the match, and are were that close to winning a big major representing your country, AND a member of the other team shows no sympathy after they win, they have a right to be disappointed
I like or dislike players based purely on their personality but respect the fact that they are playing at the top of their game. You shouldn't like someone just because they are good at something.
he moved to australia about 15 years ago he spent over half his life there, just one of them things hes an adopted aussie, i know what ya saying tho i live in sheffield yorkahire but play county darts for derbyshire
@iguanna41 I watched this whole clip, and watched it all live. All I saw was Paul being understandably upset after losing, and Adrian starting an argument with him on stage after winning.
Nicholson done nothing wrong... he didn't sign the board and Lewis took offense, how many times do we see Taylor signing the board when he gets beat? never, so why moan at Nicholson for not signing when he gets beat?
Now, why is it that in every competition Phil Taylor always goes on to play first and if there's another match involving him in that game he will play last in that one so he gets the longest rest.
All that carry on because he took a moment to gather himself after the match and then not signing the board? ffs whoever got the board probably didn't care for his signature and Lewis & Taylor carry on every second match they're in.
I don't know what gives Lewis the right to get on his high horse like that there's been on bigger sore loser than him in darts and don't get me started on Taylor.
I think what annoys English people (I'm Irish myself) is that Nicholson is no more Australian than I am. He is a self hating Geordie with a major attitude problem.
Nicholson who is he. Not as good as he thinks he is. Felt sorry for Whitlock having to partner that fool. Always remember the late great Leighton Rees who stated a great champion has to learn to loose gracefully before becoming a winner.
i still cant get iver the fact that he says he is australian. he was born in newcastle and has a geordie accent, yet he calls himself an aussie. im from liverpool but i learnt to play darts in wales, that doesnt make me welsh
I think it’s a bit rich for an Englishman to say Nicholason isn’t Australian, just take a look at the English cricket team, it’s like a where’s wally when your trying to find the Englishmen
They only let Nicholson in for Australia so Whitlock doesn't have to team up with Tony Fleet. If you don't know who Fleet is, just search "worst leg of darts ever" on here! lol
Is it just me or does Simon whitlock have the fastest/not sure the word to use, the way he pulls back before throwing the dart, it almost looks like he doesn't pull back at all but instead just pitches the dart forward. Anyone else?
Man I wish I didn't watch this. Aus needs a win its been a while. But why is PN a sore loser? This is a World Cup. I'm gutted when I lose to my brother playing darts in the shed.
Paul Nicholson, who's about as Australian as Usain Bolt.
😂😂 spot on!
G'day Usain.......
To be fair, "The Cons" that live on that beautiful patch of land are more British than Australian anyway!!. So they should of celebrated with England winning 🤣
@@7th.trumpet No one really cares..... do they?
@Gareth Mathew Wright was born in Scotland
First Aussie I've heard with an Geordie accent.
Whitlock is an absolute gent! Love the bloke. Nicholson is a complete tool.
Whitlock is the only decent fella here, the 3 others are pricks.
Why is lewis so mad about it😂 its not really that bad that someone is mad about losing right
@@svenhoevenaars8109 I think he got pissed off with Nicholson not signing the board that was given to a young fan.
@@chakko007 nah your talking bullshit nicholson is the only prick
He threw a dart and hit a cameraman that's why
Whitlock looks like a drunk Brett lee without the facial hair

I remember West ham winning the Football world cup in 1966. Lol
Nicholson's tough bad guy image felt so false and phony. If he just concentrated on playing and not being a WWE character he might've gone even further in his darts career.
"Howay man, i cannae believe ay lost. Am going dahn the toon afta ta droon me sorrows. Up t'Aussies."
Love the way Lewis mugged Nicholson off in the interview by giving props to Whitlock
Sadam Hussein was more Australian than that Geordie fella 😩
"England have won the world cup here in Germany" I have dreamt about hearing those words
This is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen on televised sport. Re-watching it, I actually got caught up in the drama again. Great stuff!
There is a huge difference between being disappointed that you lost something you wanted to win and being a sore loser.
Not really
@@toomuch9762 are you genuinely disabled?
Obviously he would be annoyed he lost he had a chance to win a world cup
part of winning , is learning how to lose Paul Nicholson
Only losers learn how to lose. He needs to learn how to win

Nicholson is fast loosing his crown as biggest bell end in darts to Price
Paul Gill why what’s price done

@@danielarthur3137 I think Nicholson is a very knowledgeable and articulate guy off the oche.
Phil is the king of subtle digs and windups. Love it
Oh stop, emotions run high at events like that. I placed top 64 in Chicago and it felt like I'd been kicked to not get it.
Watched this live and watching it again, i still fail to see what he has done wrong.
He is visibly upset at the loss and i don't see what else there is to it....
6:21 Lewis towards Nicholson, “fcking nob’ 😂
Lewis is the biggest mouth breather going
I have watched this video so many times and it never gets old
i dont get it, what did he do or didnt do that was so bad? what am i missing
+starfox He wouldn't shake hands or sign the dartboard that is usually auctioned for charity.. he was rude and unsportsmanlike
Also he proceeded to sulk in the corner and started punching the wall just because he lost. Basically he exhibited the kind of behaviour you might expect from a 10 year old.
+Tom Goodwin True, but most players act stupidly at times. They are wound up because they have lost.. Phil's lost his temper at times..
He also threw his darts on the floor and 1 of the darts hit a girl
@@jacksonross-broadbent1108 they hit a cameraman

the reason Lewis had a go at paul is because he threw his darts in temper and one hit a girl
No it isn't.

Am glad england beat the Aussies but i feel really sorry for whitlock carrying that dumpling!!! AND I LOVE IT EVERYTIME NICHOLSON LOSES

Shows u right Paul for playing for Australia when you are clearly English
I was born in a hospital on Tyneside so I'll play darts for Australia.....
7 years later and Nicholson still hasn't won it 😂😂😂😂
LOL!
The clown is having to play to try and get his tour card back,he's not even a darts player anymore just a commentator. He's a joke 😂

6:21 - 'Fuckn nob' 🤣
If you want one player on your team there's only one Phil Taylor
Absolutely vintage darts needle. Taylor completely cool as a cucumber just laughing in the face of Nicholson
If you gonna dislike dart players because you think the're arrogant, then just never watch darts at all.
It's about the sport, not about the personality of the players. I think Adrian Lewis and Paul Nicholson are great players. You have to show a little respect...
Just chose favorites but don't dislike players because of their personality.

Did Nicholson get confused with the Tyne and Sydney harbour bridges
When Taylor retires it will be a tragedy for darts (like when Federer retires it will be a tragedy for tennis).
Not really a tradegy
@@taisonbertalam2832 Yep. 9 years later and Federer still hasn't retired lol
Okay my question: why is he a sore loser? only because he was dissapointed? I dont know. Idont know the reason of this whole video!
Tim van Oosterom he called Taylor "over rated" and he threw a dart at a young girl
Tim van Oosterom Threw down his darts in anger , one bounced into the audience hitting a girl ....
what was Lewis saying to Nicholson at the end of the match?
Winners are Grinners while Losers can please themselves...
What was Lewis saying at the end . he seemed pissed at the one guy
Peter Wright now Scottish , in 1995 he played as an English man ,no proper Scot would pretend to be English turn coat .

What cracking personalities all these lads have.
its only natural to be dissapointed in losing a final, obviously meant alot to him. give him a break
