I believe the answer is:

litter lout

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'untidy thrower' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'young darts player taking 50 to finish eliminated' is the wordplay.
'young darts player' becomes 'litter' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'taking' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'e0' becomes 'l' (Roman numeral).
'to finish' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go after or 'finish' others).
'eliminated' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in another clue).
'litter'+'l'+'out'='LITTER-LOUT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for litter lout that I've seen before include "One dropping rubbish in the street" , "one making a mess" , "One leaving rubbish on the street" .)
