NATHAN ASPINALL was left in stitches after a ref responded “I can’t tell you that” in reply to his bizarre question.
The darts star was in action on Thursday for Event 29 of the Players Championship.
Aspinall found himself up against pal and Premier League rival Michael Smith in a third round clash.
Things did not go to plan for The Asp, who crashed out with a 6-3 defeat.
But both men were all smiles following an amusing incident in the final leg.
Smith left himself with just 16 points to seal victory.
While Aspinall faced a daunting task with a total of 236.
And hilariously, he asked the ref “can I leave a finish?” before hurling his darts at the board.
However, the man by the board had a blunt response, saying: “I can’t tell you that.”
This left everyone …
