Raymond van Barneveld - Jelle Klaasen

[mgoedhart91]

Haha after winning the final, he also got a better looking girlfriend.

[amsterdope]

@mgoedhart91 - After winning Lakeside he's had about 5 "better looking" girlfriends.. From Zero to Hero overnight...

[180dwarsstraat]

most special game ever on darts for me....i have to admit Barneveld"s world titel vs Phil taylor was the most exiting game i ever saw,but this one was so special for me,2 dutchman"s in a finale,whit excellent darts,and an unknown young man like Jelle making the show,and won from the Dutch master Barneveld,that was realy a high moment in history of darts,although im a big fan of both of them......in darts is only one real legend and is onest is onest it wil be Phil Taylor for ever,greets from NL

[TimFreh]

What a game.

[wesley020010]

wat een partij was dat zeg beste ever

[indeblotekont]

van gerwen en klaasen zij te snel naar de PDC gegaan

[MrStonecold69]

ITS ALL DOUBLE DUTCH TO ME :::::::))))))))

[ThatFlyingDutchMen]

Best final ever.... if u were dutch lol

[schumacher180racing]

Klaasen, serieus een superdarter... Maar totaal niet constant...... Echt zonde, want hij heeft echt talent.

[TheSCF1908]

@schumacher180racing

Klopt. Van Gerwen ook trouwens. Ze hadden ook beter bij de BDO kunnen blijven ipv naar de PDC te gaan. Hadden ze meer kans gehad op WK's enzo.

[SBOWsteffan]

the pupil beat the master

[DAJAZDJ1]

is this the christiano ronaldo of darts

[DAJAZDJ1]

i remember watching this in prison all the jail wanted klassen cos i think therewasa lot of money on barney they don't even like darts most of em but they bet on anything currency is usally phonecards and mars barswhen i got to jail there was a dart board but the darts were plastic can't think why

[psychodano]

ik aan het schreeuwen COME ON JELLE 2 MIN 50 SEC.......

[stijnyboy01]

Nog steeds een van de beste wedstrijden die ik ooit heb gezien! =D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still one of the best matches i've ever seen! =D

[bigduven]

dutch -.-

[LoafOfPint]

Not many doubles missed in this match which made the double 9 from Barney all the more surprising. It's funny how at the time Barney left because he realised the young BDO guys were catching up with him so he might as well chance it in the PDC and try to fulfill his lifelong ambition of defeating Taylor, and beat him three times in his first year in the PDC as well as win the world title. Meanwhile, Klaasen has done approximately nothing since this.

[dannyh95]

i really wanna see a game between klaasen and van der voort it woud be over within 10 minutes lol

[DTB180]

there was one i think in 2008, 18 180's between them, think it was a second round match, soooo fast, it was a brilliant match

[LoafOfPint]

They had a match in the first round of the PDC World Championship, it was a classic. Klaasen missed ten darts to win the match and van der Voort won on the sudden death leg.

[Wesleyyz]

@dannyh95 Van Gerwen Vs Van der voort is even faster lol

[Chirogirl80]

He is such a great guy...i just hung out with him this past weekend in Atlanta, Georgia and he is not only an amazing dart player but a great person!! He has a new fan!!

[Lorenzoow]

his mother is asian, i believe indonesian

[saranewyork]

jelle klassen doesn't look dutch

[93bcfc]

hes an ethnic indo

[saranewyork]

Ok, thank you. My question was not meant to be racist, just wondering about the guy who looks hot by the way.

[MrAguafiesta]

@saranewyork barnie was always a heartthrob.

[emdoui]

i agree he was much better with this style of throw now he`s all over the board and very unorthodox

[DX1234567890]

Why has Jelle Klassen changed his stance and action so much? When he played in the BDO you can see he keeps his head and body still, still throws a bit quick but not as fast as he does now and he played brilliant. Now he moves too much and throws too fast. Why change something you were successful with?

[weeardguy]

@DX1234567890: Don't forget that he was an absolut brilliant player at this time: he won and just created very high expectations for the future...

[Stuart180Cochrane]

@DX1234567890 throws change every so often, then it will stop and you will find were you are comfortable with. Phil taylor used to hold the dart differently, but since like 04/05 he hasn't changed, and also he changes darts alot, 6 phases. Things chop and change.

[Stuart180Cochrane]

jelle hasn't performed since he won this, apart from getting a 9 darter. Him and michael van gerwen are awesome players, just aren't doing much in the PDC. Hopefully in a few years they will kick into gear and show there true potential.

[tommycat85]

The kid has got mad skills,but the way he plays...shit...I mean-watching grass grow is more exciting.

[BEDDOEDv]

klassen, started me throwing darts when i was 17, he,21, just teriffic stuff.

[nathiebaby]

Barney threw the match to give Klaasen a good start in his career. Barney knew he was going to the PDC the following season and agreed to throw the match in Klaasen's favour.

There is an interview somewhere in which Barney admits it.

[GigaDarter007]

Bullshit...he wanted that title more than ever.

[nathiebaby]

No its true. In an interview he did when he first joined the PDC he said:

"I knew what the victory could to for Jelle so I tried new things in the match, new ways of checking out etc. He needed the victory more than me so he got it."

[kardentyrell]

thats not throwing the match, he simply chanced new things but that didn't help for the end result

[wreckthehoosejuice08]

bollocks nathiebaby both were going for it

[nathiebaby]

The interview Barney did is on youtube somewhere. Why would I need to make it up. If you go back and watch the match you can see Barney isnt giving 100%

[truthoutmedia]

What a load of crap. Players say this kind of thing all the time to cover over their bad play. Sure, 'he LET him win'.

If you believe that you believe anything. I think that you dont believe it either but you have said it so many times now and cant be seen to back down.

[Cornellx1]

Balls

[nathiebaby]

Its a fact. He threw a game of darts in order to help the career of a young player. Its a good thing.

[LoLzow]

What a fckng bullshit haha, he tried to win offcourse. He doesnt like losing vs a youngster. Mayb the fact that jelle is also dutch made it not so bad but im sure he did NOT just give away the title

.

[brad080689]

u must be stuck on stupid u fuckwit

[Vahik88]

i am not sure about Barney but believe me in this century even a brother wont give away a title to his brother just like that

[BigCrusher96]

how fast does jelle-klaasen drives on the freeway? 180!!!!!!!!!!

[supertoan1234]

not funny...

[S7ORM3R]

Haha. I think its funny! :P

[JVDL1993]

Barney is really good. I'm watching Van Barneveld-Klaasen now, and he only throw high scores. How amazing! I think he gonna throw a nine-darter soon... at least I hope. Klaasen could be the successor of Barney in the future.

[darren314]

That is amazing u were absolutly right!

[Epiphonefan]

he did yesterday

[opa400]

and he did:P

[Lorenzoow]

Tonight they play against eachother again.

I hope it's gonna be a good match.

[ashes1one]

and what a match it was!

9 darter and a 161 checkout to win

Superb!

[Dutchzzz]

Can I find a video about it somewhere ?

[rupeusnope]

jelle klaasen gots an ugly girlfriend

[Futor89]

lol, he's already got another one that the one you see in this video.

[Snoopo]

What a horrible language dutch is. Its utter shit.

[jrk524]

Please return to your incest mom, you cunt. Most English talk as if they smell shit or need to shit.

[Snoopo]

Speak english before I throatjob your pappa.

[jrk524]

You like a little gay action I see. Would you first test yourself for STD's, thank you in advance. You are an anal prolapse, you really are, you cunt. You are a fucking disgrace to mankind.

[Snoopo]

Take me in your mouth.

[gtaboy107]

That's your opinion, i don't like some language.... Sometimes i hate English...

[unopepito06]

One hundred and eighty! lawlz

[m0dani]

wat is the intro song from jelle klaasen ?

[Xebber]

DJ Mystery - Type Face

[ozzielando01]

amateur darts?? some of the checkouts here were phenomenal! I NEVER watched or evn considered darts an interesting sports before i watched this comp. But now I am an avid fan. Jelle inspired me to pick up darts. So to say he won the comp throwing amateur darts is just the crafty cockney being a wind-up merchant, which from watchin old footage, he seems pretty good at

[Loftier]

"He's in the crowd, he's gone to Ivanka!" I won almost as much on Klaasen as I did on John 'Boy' Walton a few years earlier. Come on the IOC. Make darts an Olympic event and delight the world.

[spencerutd]

i wann be a professional and if i keep practising for 5-6 hours a day which i do i could make it there 1 day

[knod9n]

klassen threw an amazing game...thats the bottom line..Ray is sick no dout about it, but Jelle killed it....anyone at this level is simpy amazing. im workin on it, id love to be there some day

[chelseaman127]

for the people that are criticising klaasen about how he played in this final...he won it didnt he !!!

and there were stages in this match when he showed supreme class !!!

[CancerInflictor]

Barney should return to Lakedside and try to get back the title

[LoafOfPint]

Eric Bristow was there, and he stated that Jelle played 'amateur darts', and that "if he were to play the 'real' World champion (i.e. PDC World Champion Phil Taylor), he would be crushed". While Jelle's form didn't hold up well after the win, he DID prove Eric wrong by beating taylor in the International Darts League shortly afterwards.

So there, Crafty Cockney!

[BadPsyTron]

Ik ken Raym persoonlijk en hij is een echte kampioen. Een echte goeie darter blijft zn hoge standaard behouden.

Jelle had geluk, helaas hoor je niks meer van hem want hij presteerd gewoon niet meer.

[blondboyharrison]

my all time favourite final, i was behind yella all the way

[lostinbass4]

He should have stayed at the bdo, he would have destroyed everyone in tht organisation. But obviously the money at the pdc was a great temptation.

[darren314]

Barney had done it all in the BDO, he got bored of it all and wanted a greater challenge of being PDC world champion or defeating taylor.

[LoafOfPint]

It was the right decision for Barney, but I think Jelle should have stayed in the BDO. Same goes for Michael van Gerwen. Still, I suppose hindsight is 20/20.

[Joeyplein]

sjonge ist heel holland voor van barneveld hij verliest iedereen voor die eikel

[ntnightmares]

this was wicked - lovely to see it again, esp since bpth have now left bdo :(

[karizmatikberko]

lol i betted £200 on jelle to beat barnevald that day and i didnt know anything about either players. After the match i found out what a player barnevald was and glad jelle held his nerve during that game. THANKS JELLE.

[AJRulesTNA]

LoL theres no1 good left in the BDO Championships.....All the good player are gone to PDC.

[slayyyyn]

klaasen smacked it on da day

[wessus]

schitterend :) barney werd een beetje te arrogant,dat werd meteen ff afgestraft.

[Moenage]

je hebt gelijk. je bent pas echt goed als je bescheiden blijft!!!

[Luchses]

Yeha I was in the audience!!!

[countermonkey19]

klaasen sucks he was very lucky

[LoafOfPint]

Are you the same gormless chump who said John 'made a nine-dart finish and a 170 checkout in consecutive legs' Walton "sucks" and is "very lucky"? I'm guessing you are.

You're a tosspot.

[wessonbell]

you seem to know your stuff about darts in this tournement what was jelle klassen introduction music?????

[iLikeNachooooz]

use wikipedia xD

[wessonbell]

did mate not there its his original music was really hectic not like the shit he has on now

[r0ckybalb0aisal3g]

Klaasen is a LEGEND of a darts player!

[sean9dart]

klassen a class act and i reckon dat he'll b a 3 or 4 time world champ b4 he retires

[kasusknaktus]

i like klaases fast playing style. but its sad that he lost in the championsip 2007 in the first round :(

[zZaLiNaZz]

Jelle DE mann!! Alphen NB Rulezzz!
