"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."

- There are 30 Players Championship rounds to play first throughout the year and you have to be in the top 64 to get to the finals. This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024

- I completely agree with Vincent's comments on "whistlegate". It's great to have someone with Vincent's exprience address this issue, so hopefully clearer and stricter guidlelines can be given to referees, security and members of the crowd. No whistling during throws, and something like: whistlers evicted and fined a hefty sum.
