Fair play to @Raybar180, who has gone to the next level and asked @ronnieo147 himself for his take on the nine-darter vs 147 debate. Good content, this. @eurosport
Van Barneveld sends voice note to O'Sullivan sparking nine-dart finish v 147 debate: "The question is what is harder"

The ever continuing debate between what is harder in terms of a snooker 147 break v nine-dart finish was continued by a darts player this time in the form of Raymond van Barneveld.
For Eurosport, Ronnie O'Sullivan answered questions and in particular was sent a voice note by the doyen of Dutch darts who himself thought snooker was harder.
"I have a question for Ronnie O'Sullivan. It's Raymond van Barneveld here. The question is what is harder a 147 break or a perfect nine-dart finish in darts. I think a snooker break," said Van Barneveld in his voice note.
"I think the 147 must be harder, but listen I'm not here to say one is harder and one's not harder. I think what you guys do on a dart board and the way you make it look so easy is just unbelievable so total respect to you guys.
"You're one of the heavyweights of darts, just to be able to make a nine-darter or 147 is a great achievement but I tend to agree with you. We have 36 shots. We have to do four times the amount of work you do.

- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
