Michael van Gerwen lost out in the final on Sunday night of the European Darts Matchplay to Joe Cullen in another brilliant final and the second one in two weeks that MVG has lost out in.
Van Gerwen also lost in Vienna but as usual, he was gracious in defeat. He gave credit to Cullen and said that he played a phenomenal tournament.
As well as that as a result he has to just take it on the chin and move forward with the next tournaments soon on the horizon.
"If you lose any final you can only blame yourself," said Van Gerwen. "I missed a few chances but Joe played a phenomenal tournament.
"Normally he's very laconic but today he beat some phenomenal players, also myself in the final, and fair play to him. I have to take this on the chin and move forward."

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- 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
