Female darts player Fallon Sherrock has revealed shocking online abuse she received from a troll who said he “love to stamp on your ugly head” following a poor darts performance.
Sherlock shared a screenshot of the direct message to her 97,000 Twitter followers, after she finished bottom of Wednesday’s Modus Icons of Darts League, which featured players taking to the oche via webcam.
“Your [sic] so shit you slag”, the troll, named RC and a supporter of English Premier League team West Ham United, wrote, before following up with “I’d love to stamp on your ugly head.”
All I did was not win a game of darts, this is so wrong ? pic.twitter.com/Gzo6UQPXEP
The account has since been suspended for violating Twitter rules. Upset by the abuse, Sherrock wrote: “All I did was not win a game of darts, this is so wrong.”
The 25-year-old, nicknamed ‘The Queen of the Palace’ created history in 2019 when she became the first woman to win a match in the PDC Championships. She had earlier reached the final of the 2015 British Darts Organisation (BDO) Women’s World Darts Championship.
