A lot of Dutch are notorious for falling out over silly things, and it's the old Calvinist culture of "always be true to yourself" as well as the sense of destiny mindset that Barney always seems to have during big events of his career.
So I assume their friendship had peaks and troughs.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Yeah, I thought so. Like I said before, Barney might sulk for a time, but he tends to get over it as well after a while.ChrisW wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 8:09 pmSitting together happily tonight.sennafan24 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 5:24 pmStompe and Barney were close friends at one point IIRC.PT13 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 5:18 pm Co Stompe has a less serious sense of humour compared to a lot of Dutch players.

Vincent said the early 2000s was when Barney and Co didn't get on. That's when Barney wasn't winning Embassy titles at Lakeside, so he would be sensitive to certain senses of humour.
Barney was one of the few who said trophies IIRC.

RVB and Stompe discussing ASN. No consistency was the agreed point of view.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Yes, that was at the 2017 Champions League of Darts on the BBC, IIRC. Taylor laughed when asked and said "cheque". He later said that trophies take up space, and that the knowledge of doing your job properly by winning a tournament and collecting the money was more important than any trophy.sennafan24 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 8:23 pmThere was a segment on Sky years ago where they asked some players whether money or trophies mattered more to them.PT13 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 5:41 pm+1.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
Comparing the Belgian Decker slap to the ASN slap. One not related to PDC one was. Why the huge difference in consequences?
Barney went on about a similar fine he got for going for the bull once? Don't remember that. But that M Smith did the same and got a lot lower fine.

Re: Darts articles in the Media thread
How can someone be fined for not going for a certain target? It's your 3 darts, and you can do what you like with them.
