Right decision to be fair, why keep doing something that you don't get any enjoyment out of any more and just depresses the hell out of you and when you clearly aint good enough or motivated enough to compete anymore.

Just enjoy retirement

Fecking cry baby and has been for years.

Good riddance.

Bit harsh and stupid Igor, emotion is part of life, what do you want him to do after losing and knowing he's not good enough anymore, smile wave and dance up and down? Didn't see Derby doing that when they got relegated from the PL....

Barney fully retired?

Andy Fordhams win over Barney in the 2004 BDO semi final is my favourite darts memory. Great game. Happy retirement Barney.

Correct me if I'm wrong but did he not announce he was going after this years Big tournament in December.

A con to get into the PL he lost in tonight.

And then he bows out, wimp.

Maybe it's his personal life he needs to examine and man up.

Barney reverses decision to retire

Ian White and James Wade among the early winners in the second round on the 2nd European Tour event.

On nights, so haven't been keeping up with the news. Seems MvG was knocked out in the second round by Keegan Brown.

Suljovic and Chisnall were the only other losing seeds, losing to Evans and King.

Daryl Gurney has just beaten Rob Cross in the 3rd round.

Bunting beats White.

James Wadehit a 9 Darter- but lost to Webster

Keegan Brown marching on the quarters by beating Price. What a weekend for him so far.
