Darts influencer sheds light on who Gary Anderson’s sweary rant was about amid claims Angry Ginge was target

A darts influencer has weighed in on the growing controversy surrounding Gary Anderson’s explosive, sweary rant, after online speculation claimed the Scottish legend was aiming his frustration at popular streamer Angry Ginge.

The incident, which has been circulating rapidly across social media, sparked a wave of debate among darts fans — with many questioning who exactly Anderson was directing his anger toward, and whether the sport’s growing crossover with internet personalities is becoming a point of tension for traditional players.

What Happened?

Anderson, a two-time world champion and one of the most respected figures in professional darts, was caught on camera during a heated moment in which he appeared to vent aggressively — with several swear words clearly audible.

The clip quickly went viral, and while Anderson did not name anyone directly, fans were quick to connect the dots, especially after recent attention around Angry Ginge’s involvement with darts-related content.

Why Angry Ginge Was Mentioned

Angry Ginge has become a huge online presence in the UK, with a fanbase built on football content, streaming, and viral moments. More recently, he has also been linked to darts through social media engagement and crossover appearances that have attracted attention from both darts fans and the wider internet audience.

That crossover is exactly what caused speculation to explode — with some believing Anderson may have been unhappy about the growing influence of content creators in the sport.

In short: some fans thought Anderson’s rant was a shot at “celebrity culture” entering darts.

Darts Influencer Claims It Wasn’t About Angry Ginge

However, a darts influencer has now attempted to shut down the rumours, claiming the rant was not directed at Angry Ginge.

According to the influencer, Anderson’s anger appeared to be focused on a different issue entirely — believed to be related to something happening off-camera, possibly involving event organisation, distractions in the venue, or frustration with conditions during play.

The influencer suggested the Angry Ginge theory was more a case of fans “running with the most viral name available” rather than anything backed by real evidence.

Fans Still Divided

Despite the clarification, the debate hasn’t fully died down.

Some fans insist Anderson’s body language and timing made it seem like the rant was aimed at a specific person, while others agree that Anderson has always been known as an emotional competitor who can boil over when things aren’t going smoothly.

On social media, reactions ranged from sympathetic to critical:

• Some argued Anderson has earned the right to vent given his legendary status.
• Others said darts must adapt as new audiences enter through online creators.
• A section of fans accused people of overreacting and turning a brief moment into a full-blown drama.

The Bigger Issue: Darts vs Internet Culture

The situation highlights a bigger conversation currently happening in darts.

In recent years, the sport has grown massively online — with creators, streamers, and influencers bringing younger audiences into what was once seen as a more traditional pub-based game.

That shift has been positive for exposure, but moments like this show there can be friction between:

• Old-school professionals
• and new-school entertainment-driven audiences

If Anderson’s rant wasn’t about Angry Ginge, the fact that so many fans believed it could be says a lot about the current climate around darts.

No Official Confirmation Yet

As of now, neither Gary Anderson nor Angry Ginge has publicly confirmed the target of the rant.

Until either side addresses it directly, the situation is likely to remain fuel for speculation — especially given how quickly darts clips spread online and how much attention big personalities attract.

Conclusion

While the darts influencer’s comments may have cooled the Angry Ginge theory, the incident has still shone a light on the changing landscape of darts.

Whether Anderson was ranting about a person, a situation, or just a frustrating moment, the controversy proves one thing: darts is no longer just a niche sport — it’s now part of the wider online entertainment world, and every moment can become a headline
