    Another seeming disinterested defeat for Barney, beaten 1st round German masters by Clemens

    Barney lost in the second round in 2017 so he'll be down another £11k after the tournament. With Jeffrey De Zwan having qualified, I think he'll be out of the top 32 when the Matchplay is over.

    As I suspected above, Barney has dropped to No. 35 in the world following the World Matchplay so he is now officially outside the qualifying places for the World Championships.

    Considering he effectively gave up on trying to qualify for the Matchplay, I have no idea why he bothered to play another year on the tour because it's now looking unlikely he'll be at Ally Pally in December.

    He's already safe for Ally pally according to Burton de Witt. He's well above the projected cut off?

    Actually you're right, he is higher in the Pro Tour OOM than I thought he was, he is currently 50. Top 64 would guarantee qualification.

    I couldn't believe it my self. Seems it'd be harder if he tried to not quality for it.

    I think he genuinely wanted to pack it in that night he retired in the premier league and his sponsors/sky persuaded him to stay on. Sad to see. He seems done and in enjoying life with his new woman on social media

    **** that. gutted and angry and I dont know why I am.
    All the last few years waiting for him to pull his head out of his hole and throw like he can.
    I am beyond dissapointed. He was my favourite player from the BDO days, he moved to the PDC we got that final... and now to this.. I may have had too many pints today but I am gutted.
