PDCFriday, 23 April 2021 at 09:30
Martin Schindler booked his place at the 2021/22 PDC World Darts Championship by winning the PDC Europe Super League on Thursday night.
Schindler spoke afterwards after he survived two match darts from Hempel in a thrilling deciding leg before pinning the winning double at the fifth attempt which saw him book his Alexandra Palace return.
"I thought I had blown it, I gave Florian the chance to come back and made it a lot harder for myself," said Schindler.
"But who cares? I won and that is all that matters, I'm over the moon.
"I'm happy with how I have performed over the last six days and it is a big relief to qualify for the World Championship early in the year."

- It's so disappointing the Modus Super Series is no longer on TV. Watching it on YouTube is not really the same. It's absolutely excellent and most importantly Richie Burnett is competing this week, Richie seems to want to headbutt the board when collecting his darts.richieburnettrocks14-01-2025
- I want him to do well this year, but Mike de Decker needs to settle himself, and let his darts do the talking. There's no need to make it easier for the PDC to overlook him in the future.
UndartedWaters14-01-2025 - 2024 was "the year of the underdog", but in reality showed the depth of talent in the PDC. Too deep for the PDC apparently, who got spooked and pulled out the bath plug, most likely to the detriment of the sport. I am sure most fans would want up-and-coming players to be given a hand up, not a slap down.UndartedWaters13-01-2025

- Newly relegated Tour Card holders made up 26/256 of the Q School Final Stage field: 10.16%. They won 3/29 of the Tour Cards on offer: 10.34%. This suggest that the 'worst of the best' are of a similar standard to the 'best of the rest' which is notable but surely unsurprising.Scoobedybop13-01-2025
- Now this is a heart-warming story. A top-32 pro-player giving up his time to help out in a humble role at Q school. Well done Ricardo.UndartedWaters12-01-2025

- Gutted to hear about Wynand, he was one of those one off championship characters that you always remember. He beat Manley at his own game. Maish was the VAT fiddler. I think it was Webster, Wynand should have beaten in that 3rd round. Thank you Wynand for those brief but everlasting memories.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
- This coming from the lowest ranked player in it who was only selected by his paranoia for attention from the crowd by having to conduct the crowd to his walk on music. I know a lot of darts fans who cannot stand Arsepinall, oddly I know people who don't like darts but frequently attend events for the atmosphere and have no idea who was playing. So for all the whining players not selected, change your walk on music and pathetically beg for affection from the crowd....please cheer for me ohhh please cheer.richieburnettrocks11-01-2025
