James Wade....what a guy!

    I never really understood why people didn't like Wade, or said he was arrogant. He also seemed quite friendly and civil towards his opponent....but in the following case I can forgive arrogance :D

    As captain of England, John Terry is known to millions but that did not prevent the Chelsea defender from being snubbed when saying hello to darts player James Wade at a chemist in Surrey. "I thought it was someone trying to be a pest so I gave him the flick," explained Wade. "But a few hours later he texted my girlfriend with the message 'How rude is your other half?'. I've never been so embarrassed in my life."

    Taken from BBC gossip column today :D

    Yeah she's been shown in the audience(players section) at few different events(league, etc).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 547 ✭✭✭iseethelight


    Yeah Wade seems like such a nice bloke. Lets forget its John Terry. He thinks a fan approaches him in a shop and gives him the brush. Yeah real nice guy there.
    Arrogant pr**k

    Yeah and I suppose if it were you in the same situation, standing in a chemist buying pile cream(or some other personal medical issue) you would welcome a fan with open arms? :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 547 ✭✭✭iseethelight


    I'd like to think I would at least say hello and maybe point out their catching me at a slightly inapproriate moment.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,370 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    In fairness it was bad form of Wade to completely blank the fan irrespective if it was John Terry or Joe Bloggs. He should at least say hello to whoever it is that approaches him. It doesn't take much to do that.

    It's not as if darts players are worldwide superstars who are mobbed all the time.

    James Wade was the guy i use to model myself after,he was always cool under pressure and always done his best now after hearing that somedays he just doesn't want to play darts is a big slap in the face to every dart player, lost all respect for the man

    Where did he say that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,462 ✭✭✭Double Top


    All the commentator's kept saying it during the world championship, that some days he turns up and says he's not in the mood for darts today..i really really hope it's not true but i think it is


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,289 ✭✭✭✭mdwexford


    Don't see why you would lose respect for him over a comment like that.

    If you eat sleep and breathe anything there will be days where you dont feel 100% in love with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 456 ✭✭Any Double !


    Wade was always laid back and matter of fact about darts, its that easy going attitude that's got him this far and a bed at the lovely Helen's mansion. Not bad for a £300 @week Quick Fit Fitter. Still looks the best long term opponent out there for Taylor !!
    Strange to then seeing English fans booing him in his own country.
    Also listening to some of the soccer chants going on while players are playing it looks as if the much larger venue at the Pally is just a p#ss up for a lotta guys who wouldn't know a dartboard if it fell on their toes :):)

    yea think your right, maybe it's just cause it's my dream to be a pro and then hearing someone who i think has the best job in the world saying he's not in the mood for it get's my back up a little. lost all respect maybe a little much but he has gone down a little in my book (just my opinion)

    Seems James's personality is at it again.

    Source
    James Wade and Simon Whitlock had earlier clashed on and off the oche as the Australian caused a major upset.

    Whitlock, nicknamed ‘The Wizard’, concocted the perfect spell to beat world No3 Wade 5-3 at the Alexandra Palace, but tensions exploded during this Ashes duel.

    Whitlock said England’s Wade stepped into him on stage and when the players left for an interval, they exchanged words.

    Whitlock, a Sydney qualifier and former BDO runner-up, said: “I think of the cricket and all the sledging. But James is a feisty character and does not like losing.

    “He backed into me and I gave him a nudge. It was gamesmanship. He said something at the break that was not very nice. It didn’t involve the word ‘Pom’ because I have English blood in me. It doesn’t bother me.”

    Whitlock’s mother and father emigrated from England 50 years ago but he has returned to make a stunning impact.

    He left the BDO at the start of 2009 to rejoin the PDC, where he had played until 2003, and has produced amazing darts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 606 ✭✭✭Niall_76


    Wade looked like a bit of an idiot roaring in Whitlock's face a couple of times. Didnt see any contact made myself but Whitlock did tap his shoulder a few times after big shots.

    Was some game though and although i wouldnt be wade's biggest fan you have to admire the way he dug in under the onslaught.most players wouldve just crumbled.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 738 ✭✭✭AndyP


    Can we change the thread title to reflect reality...

    "James Wade....what an obnoxious cnuting twat!"

    Anyone that makes me side with John Terry must be a complete wanker.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,266 ✭✭✭Juwwi


    Bristow was on soccer am this morning so they were talking about the darts and wades otherhalf (helan chamberland) was very bitter in defeat
    when she was talking about the match yesterday.
    she claimed whitlocks long pony tail was irritating her all during the match :confused:
    Id say it was the 180's that whitlock was throwing that was irritating her.

    First thing she said on the show this morning was that she hated all Australians, she must have something wrong with hers if shes still going out with James Wade.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,997 ✭✭✭Degag


    Would have to agree that Wade went way over the top with his celebrations. It's good to have a bit of fire in the belly but the way he was roaring and staring Whitlock down was bang out of order. Myadmiration for Whitlock went way up again though, he just carried on like nothing had happened.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,310 ✭✭✭Pkiernan


    With all the rumours about John Terry and his dads illegal activities, Wade probably thought Terry was trying to sell hom some coke....

    she's a woman, I don't believe her species understand sports. Anyone ever look at BBC football's live text when they have some woman doing the updates? ABSOLUTE NONSENSE! Instead of saying whats happening in the actual football she talks about where players wifes are going shopping :rolleyes: and how annoyed she gets if a player doesn't change into a 'clean' shirt.

    Does anyone know the name of the song that plays during Wade's video insert? Not his walk on music but that little video that plays just before he's about to come on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,282 ✭✭✭Carrickman


    My bit on this topic I could not believe it when I read this in the papers.

    I'm no fan of Terry but if that was me or you Wade would have said the same I hope this comes back a bites him big time and he joins Mardle in the has beens of darts and the fans let him know this, his messing about during the Whitlock match proved what a tosser he is, rant over!

    i have met james wade on several occasions when officating at a tournament and i can tell you now the guy is an asshole of the highest calibre. arrogant and self obsessed beyond belief.a lot of the pros are sound and a lot arent but of those that arent wade is number 1 by a LONG way

    Self obsessed is correct. Comes across as a complete tosser, no personality. Thought when he hooked up with the fair Helen that she would hone him in the art of communicating with the fans and raise his game.
    Glad to see the new kids on the block (Messrs Whitlock, Nicholson and Webster) HAVE won over the fans with their fresh outlook and play under pressure this year. The future looks better with them than with Wade (fading star), Mardle (faded star) and Manley (Faded game). Looking forward to the Premier league of Darts.:D

    "new kids on the block" explain how exactly they are kids .... compared to Wade.
    Whitlock - 40
    Nicholson - 30
    Webster - 26
    Wade - 26


    Nicholson has won fans over? How exactly? He;s the new panto villain

    He won on sunday in the final of the players championship with fine darts, he beat Taylor in the semi final with ruthless checkouts. The fans did not turn on him when he won the final and applauded him big time!
    These guys are rising up the PDC rankings, They are the new kids on the block!

    dfinately i think the new blood coming through is going to have a big impact in the next few years. as you said its time to replace th hangers on ie mardle manley(top bloke by the way) even the great dennis as much as it pains me to say it but stand up whitlock nicholson and co and step up mr lewis it really is time for him to do something

    from hearing him in interviews he seems like a good guy and just enjoys the villain persona on stage. does not come across as a prick like other panto villains such as that fat wanker manley


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,997 ✭✭✭Degag


    Yeah, i'm a fan of Nicholson aswell. Capable of big finishes and big scores and unlike alot of other throwers, has a bit of character too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,706 ✭✭✭premierstone


    I thought this thread was bumped because of the recent John Terry revelations and the fact that the OP mentions JT texting Helen Chamberlin, Wades girlfriend, although i dislike JT almost as much as I despise Wade I really hope he's ........... u know the rest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 323 ✭✭whaaames


    I've never met James, only seen him play on stage at city west the last few years, but i know a few people who've met him, even played him at an exhibition and I've got back both side of the story.
    One said he was a d**k h**d and wouldn't give ya the time of day, barely looked up as he signed an autograph, and then another said he was sound, that he was all smiles and havin a laugh so I don't know what to think,..!

    Before I heard the Terry story or watched the whitlock game I always wouldve said he seemed alright, but a few narky days doesn't make him a p***k,..!
    He has a long way to go to catch up with John Terry
