@PhilTaylor
Very thankfull with the invitation for the 2019 Premier League !! I know some people think I don’t deserve it and I respect that. Maybe one day you are eager for one more chance too after a terrible time I hope you also get that chance then ! I will show the true Barney in 2019 !
This will hurt for a while but I gave it all I got.
@MvG180
is such a great Champion and I hope he goes on to win it !! I will be back next year because I will never give up !! Thank you to all my sponsors and fans for the support !
Eric Bristow died tonight.... I am lost for words and really devastated !! He was darts he meant so much to me, cannot believe it !! My thoughts go out to his wife and family.
I couldn’t handle the pressure of my final tournament. Maybe I wanted it too bad. Thanks

@WilliamHill
for all the honours and nice words. My fans inspired me to do great things but I let them down. My love for you will never end.
Mission accomplished! I had to fight for Every point! Thank you all for your support an incredible amount of messages. I was moved and emotional today I would have liked to win a day so much but later had to realize that 3rd in this big competition is good enough for my card👊🏼
Thanks you dart fans all around the world for your support for all these years. But like I said earlier All Good Things Come To An End ❤️ I wish the PDC, all their staff and all the players a Wonderfull Christmas and a Happy New Year.
One last dance for Russ Bray tonight as he referees his final ever World Championship final 🎤
The Voice has entertained darts fans for nearly 30 Years!
Today exactly 20 years ago I fell down to my knees for winning my first World Championship and beginning this incredible journey. I want to thank you all for your support and hope you want to stay member of the Barney Army for the next 5 years.
Congratulations to
@snakebitewright
for becoming World Champion !! One of the nicest guys on the tour. Enjoy it buddy now you have that monkey of your back !
Raymond had had a very tough 2 nights and in all his emotions he said he was gonne retire right away. I just spoke with him and we agreed it is better to take a couple of days to clear the mind and think about the future. I hope everyone understand. Kind Regards Jaco van Bodegom
It doesn’t get any better then this !!!
@rotterdamahoy
was amazing !! I had 2 fantastic nights and the Orange crowd made me feel unbeatable !! I am over the moon.... o and 51 now 🎂
The moment has come. Tomorrow I will travel to London to play my final World Championships, I hope to show the world the one more time what I can do. Leg by leg, set by set, match by match. I will fight till the end.
Well. After retiring and starting from scratch getting my tour card, I’m top 32 on the Order of Merit. I’ve worked extremely hard and it’s not been easy but I’m determined and I feel there is more to come.
I wish all the best to Darius Labanauskus for the rest of the tournament !! He deserved the win. He gave me chances but I couldn’t take them. I am lost for words at the moment. I will try what I can to come back next year.
It’s amazing to be back.
First win of the tournament!
I want to thank the amazing crowd of tonight and again all the support received from my fans.
Looking forward to the next match.
See you soon

I am down on the ground but not yet knocked out. I know I have to dig deep and I will do whatever it takes to make my final year a succes! But I know it won’t be easy. My love for darts is not fading but I have had real difficulties the last 6 months and now paid the price for it
🤔🎯 WHAT NEXT FOR BARNEY? 🤔🎯It was meant to be the start of a glorious 12 month farewell but World Champs defeat after a tough year on tour means

tonight in the final
I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to send me messages of support and wishing me better - it means a lot to me.
Just wanted to let you all know I am feeling ok at the moment and my symptoms are not bad thankfully. 👍🏼
Stay safe 🙏🏼
#Barneyarmy
Yes people I am out of the top 32 but I knew that was coming. People writing me off already and thats fine. This year would be a marathon not a sprint I knew that at the start. Was hoping for better results but if anyone thinks I am giving up already you better think again ! 1/2
Maybe not a win but still positive feeling with this weekend ! Strong tournament with Top 15 of the World and 1 from Out of this World 😉 Congrats
@MvG180
but next time it will be mine! Thanks to all the fans out there for their support !!
You will be missed my friend ! Absolute inspiration to all of us !! Your love for the sport and the players was heartfelt. Loved working with you. Hope we will meet again❤️🙏🏻
It’s been an AMAZING journey, but now it’s time to bow out of

Brilliant memories, brilliant people.
Just stopping doing the live darts .. NOT giving up on life. 100% my decision x
This whole week and another day next week I am at The Regina Coeli College in Vught to learn German. It’s important for me to be able to speak with my fans in Germany in their own language and do my interviews with German TV in German. Auf Wiedersehen 😉
Yesterday I posted a tweet from the horrible things you sometimes get after a loss. In my anger at that moment I replied which I shouldn’t have done in a matter that is not worthy of a 5-time World Champion. I apologise for that ! Need to ignore those messages but not always easy
Not the result I wanted but I knew it was going to be a tough game.
A lot of positives to take away from this week.
The support I’ve received has been incredible and is always appreciated.
I will build on this and onto Minehead next weekend 👍🏼.

2 years ago today I got my tour card back, from scratch.
I have worked and continue to work very hard and I still believe I have more to give. Currently I stand at number 29 in the world and want to improve on that.
Rest in peace Thomas Seyler
Just heard the passing of Thomas Seyler amd i am in shock.
Such a great person and a great player.
You did a lot for German darts my friend.
Germany can be proud of you .
I feel so sad only 49 years old
I'm ready for the game tonight!
I would like to thank all my fans for the support I received via social media in the last weeks.
Make sure you don’t miss out! Tonight 08:00 PM GMT. Raymond van Barneveld vs Lourence Ilagan.

🐅 Really tough match tonight as it always is against Gerwyn. Had to be at my best to take my chances when they came. Delighted to be in the semi finals and really looking forward to Sunday.
BRILLIANT BARNEY! 👏
Astonishing scenes in Wolverhampton, as Raymond van Barneveld recovers from 8-3 down to dump out reigning champion Gerwyn Price and secure his place in the Grand Slam semi-finals!

Silvia and I would like to thank everybody for all their messages and sympathy after the horrible attack that Silvia has been going through at our house. We are happy with the support from the local police and are confident that they will catch these guys.
Reflecting on 2022 I am proud of the steps I’ve made in Darts and hope to build on them in 2023.
Thank you to my Family, Friends, Sponsors and Barney Army for all the support you give me.
I want to wish you all a Happy New Year.

Dear fans,
Unfortunately I have to announce that I tested positive on COVID19.
During the match I didn’t have any symptoms, but afterwards I started to realise that I was developing a shortness of breath and fever.
PT2
I want to thank all the fans that gave me support in the crowd as well as on social media. I am thankful for you guys.
I am still feeling motivated and will come back stronger next year.
I’ve had a good 2 days of rest and practice preparing for my match against Rob Cross tonight 9pm GMT.
Looking forward to it. Feeling good.
Thank you for the continued support

Incredibly sad and shocking to hear of the passing of Nigel Pearson. Another taken far too young. Thoughts are with his loved ones and friends.
Rest in peace
