Van Duijvenbode after unsuccessful World Matchplay debut against Clayton: "I was way too erratic"

Dirk van Duijvenbode left his tie against Jonny Clayton like he had missed an opportunity to knock 'The Ferret' out of the tournament.
Van Duijvenbode threw a 164 finish to win the third leg and went into the break trailing 3-2 but missed chances blighted the rest of his game after the interval.
“I had several good chances and after that I just couldn't take it anymore. I may have been too excited at first. I was very high in my adrenalin and because of that I may have thrown a bit too fast”, Van Duijvenbode reacted to RTL 7 afterwards.
“I was way too erratic. It was 180 or 43. I threw a good leg or a mediocre leg, there was nothing in between. Then you just lose. But there was definitely more possible.”

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- 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
