Video - Local man beats former World Darts Champion

Postby Ship called Dignity » Sat Nov 10, 2007 11:34 am

I nipped into Whisky Macs on Thursday night for twenty minutes and was fortunate enough to get this video clip of the Charles Robertson beating former World Darts Champion, John Lowe, in a one leg 701 darts match.

John Lowe was in Campbeltown at Whisky Macs playing local darts players. Che was the only local player to beat Lowe and for his efforts picked up £100. 8)

Well done Che! 8)

Here is the video

Davie, can't get the video to play for some reason. I suppose watchin it on youtube will be good for some folk-think Che made half the toon watch it yesterday!!! He was still on a high(well maybe it was something to do the pints aswell). If anybody can't see it and they want him to show them you can get him on 07........., I'm sure he would be more than happy to oblige.

That shed is looking better by the minute!

Watched the video again and Lowes darts weren't the best in this tie but Charlie was on fire - he hit a 140 before the 140 he hit on the video - then as you see only needed one dart on the double.

In case anyone is wondering of John Lowe is still any good he beat young Alan with only 14 darts from a 701 start! :shock: He had 86 left and finished double 18, bull! :shock: :lol: :lol:

I believe DR was the first to get the chance to beat Lowe when he had a throw at a double. Unfortunately, the box he was standing on to take him up to 5 feet wobbled and he hit the wire. :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol: (ahhhhh I'll look forward to seeing DR noo.... 8) )

What browser are you using? Does it take you to the youtube page and have the heading Charles Robertson beats John Lowe?

Any messages?

If the above doesn't work and the video sticks at the loading page and other videos on Youtube work, try flushing your browser cache. For IE (the most common browser) click Tools > Internet Options and in the middle of the box click Delete Files. This may take a minute or so. Reload the video by re-clicking the original link.

If no videos show at all you need the Flash plug-in for your browser and it's available here.

still can't see it-tried what malky suggested,asked davie p still nothing. Getting the page on youtube, but only getting the icon as though it is loading, nothing even after 10mins. Other clips playing ok.
Anyone got any ideas?
