"He always ends up falling just a little short" - Clarys passes harsh judgment on Van Barneveld
PDCTuesday, 19 September 2023 at 13:00
Raymond van Barneveld was stranded in the quarter-finals of the World Series of Darts Finals last weekend in Amsterdam.
Van Barneveld took a 6-3 lead against Peter Wright, but then lost seven legs in a row and the match. "Also in the second round Raymond already played a long match (against Michael Smith e.d.), in such a weekend where the matches follow each other in quick succession you need a long breath and it just didn't work out," said Erik Clarys, analyst with the Belgian channel VTM 2.
"I also talked about it with Chris Mason (former pro darter and currently active in television e.d.). He agreed with me that while Raymond can play some high-level matches, he always ends up falling just a little short."

- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024

- I've always thought the top 24 should be made up of major winners and runners up then Euro tour followed by PC tour winners - if you don't have 24 after that then have some qualifiers.Thomas Moffatt03-11-2024
