Daryl Gurney questions provocative MVG comments

The world number one made the claim before the Champions League of Darts that Gurney . Currently the world number five, Superchin vowed ahead of the PDC World Grand Prix to take it on the chin. "My manager said, 'before somebody else tells you, I’ll tell you [what he said]'." Gurney said to RTE. "Honestly, I still don’t why he said it. If he feels I’m not good enough to be top eight, well he’s probably right, because I’m top five." Gurney was quick to dismiss any suggestion of a personal vendetta against him. That said, he did share his confusion at van Gerwen aiming such a jibe at him and not another member of darts' top echelons. "Obviously, Michael isn’t worried about any player, he was just having a jab at me," he said. "It was just one of them things that he just wanted a go at somebody and for some weird strange reason it seems to be always the Irish person they pick on. "I mean, it’s water off a duck’s back, whenever you’re working with children that goes on like that, what’s the sense worrying about it?"
