Evans after dumping out Durrant: 'I know I can beat anybody in this game'
PDCFriday, 25 October 2019 at 10:30
Ricky Evans edged out Glen Durrant in a game where the Kettering ace potentially shouldn't have won but he took his chances when 'Duzza' faltered to move through.
Evans said that for him he probably didn't deserve to win but that he's been losing similar games all year so it is good to get the rub of the green.
He added that he knows he can win titles, it's just the mental side that acts as a barrier and that he knows he has the game to beat anyone.
'I always play well in Germany. I probably didn't deserve to win that but I've lost games like that all year so it's nice to get a win on stage," said Evans to LiveDarts.
'I never have pressure, I just love playing darts. I knew Glen has had a year that people like me die for. I knew I could win.'
'I know I'm capable of winning events, it's just that little thing in there. I know I can beat anybody in this game, it's just frustrating going out first round in ProTours. It really upset me but I know I have the game to match anyone if my consistency is there.'

- 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
- It happens. Remember, anyone who has watched German and Dutch players in matches - their respective countries will have seen/heard just as bad jeering (if not worse). Taylor and MVG are two prime examples of professionals who are able to cope with the crowds mentally and not take it personally. This is not just an English crowd problem, FFS.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
