Van Veen Unfazed by Littler Spat Ahead of Premier League Darts in Rotterdam

Dutch darts player Gian van Veen remains unmoved by the controversy surrounding his recent match against Luke Littler, stating that he doesn't need to discuss the incident with Littler to move forward. The controversy began when Van Veen won a contentious match, and Littler reacted angrily after Van Veen turned towards him while throwing darts in the deciding leg. Van Veen believes Littler was 'out of order' for celebrating towards the crowd, which led to the heated exchange. However, Littler has since shared his perspective, claiming that his celebrations were directed at his girlfriend and father, not Van Veen. Despite hearing Littler's side of the story, Van Veen's opinion on the incident remains unchanged, although he insists there are no hard feelings between them. Van Veen is focused on the upcoming Premier League Darts in Rotterdam, where he will face Luke Humphries, and is excited to perform in front of his home crowd. The event will feature several high-profile matches, including Michael van Gerwen against Jonny Clayton and Luke Littler against Gerwyn Price. The top four players will progress to Finals Night at The O2 in London on May 28.
