Darts player Scott Williams found himself in a heated confrontation during a recent Masters qualifier after his opponent accused him of deliberately tapping his foot to put him off.
The world number 44, known as 'Shaggy', was left absolutely fuming by the allegation and didn't hold back in his response.
Speaking on the Happy Hour Podcast, the 36-year-old revealed: "The other week I played someone in the Masters qualifier and he accused me of tapping my foot so I offered him outside."
Williams went on to claim victory in the match and made sure his opponent knew about it.

"I won the game and I put it in his face," he added.
Williams was adamant that the accusation was completely unfounded, insisting he's never tried to gain any kind of psychological advantage over his rivals.
He explained that his approach at the oche is always exactly the same, with no variation whatsoever.
"I am stood there and I have never done anything," he said.
"I would never do anything. I literally have the same routine -- I get my darts, I walk and I stand. That is it."

"If you hear a tap or a clink or a noise and then all of a sudden that starts to become more regular," he explained.
"I'll go this f***** is trying to have me on here. It doesn't happen very often."
When it comes to crowd noise, Williams reckons the atmosphere in packed arenas creates a kind of blanket effect that's actually easier to handle.
"The crowd being so loud it is just like one big white noise," he noted.
It's the quieter moments that can prove trickier, with occasional sounds standing out more clearly.

Williams also opened up about his experiences playing in Germany, where he's faced some rather pointed heckling related to World War comments.
"I get heckled and I can get on with it," he said.
However, he acknowledged that not everyone copes as well with the pressure from spectators.
"It's just that sometimes, for some of the other players, they can't push through it," Williams added.
