European Q-School - Day Four: Noppert, Portela & Ratajski among players through to Quarter-Finals
NewsSunday, 21 January 2018 at 14:30
The final day of European Q-School is reaching the business end with the likes of Danny Noppert, Diogo Portela, Krzysztof Ratajski and Gabriel Clemens still involved in proceedings as the tournament reaches the Quarter-Final stage.
For Noppert who is still going and could still win his card outright as well as Marijanovic alongside Perales and Van Duijvenbode who bowed out at the Last 16 stage, they have claimed 4 out of the 6 Order of Merit spots and so will be tour card holders no matter what happens due to their points accrued and in the case of Perales his leg difference.
This means only 3 cards remain with 2 on the Order of Merit and Van Baelen will have to hope that Ratajski below him, Clemens or even Portela further down don't make a run to the final as he will be knocked out of contention and can't do anything about it due to Noppert beating him.
What is for sure though is that it will be a tense few hours for those still involved at the European Q-School to see if they have done enough.

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
