Re: Gerwyn Price

Always been a big fan of him and fair play he’s done amazing.Although he’s curbed his bad boy image he’s only a fraction away from confrontation when things go against him.

Re: Gerwyn Price

Earlier on in his career he had that spat with Gary Anderson on stage and that seemed to cement his position as a bit of a villain. No doubt he played up to it a bit,but yes more recently crowds have grown to appreciate his talent and he gets much more acknowledgement from the crowd because of it.

Not the first "villain" in the sport.
Bristow, Evans, Jackpot all fiery characters to name but three.

Anderson is no saint either, one of a number of passive aggressives out there.

The media have done their bit to stoke the fire too but characters is what I love about darts and Gezzy is one of our own :wales:

Re: Gerwyn Price

Bottled it big time, if he'd have played like he did against Noppart he would have beaten MVG.

Yeah no doubt about it. That's the worst I've seen him play for a long time.
I suppose it's the effect that playing one of the world's greatest ever players in Michael van Gerwen has on you.

Even van Gerwen was not at his best missing 34 darts at the double but he finished the match like we have become accustomed to and his quality showed in the end.

Disagree. He said he couldn't find his best form, which can happen to any sportsman at any time. It also has to be said that Price has had an indifferent year.

Apart from his doubles, MVG was superb and few would have lived with him. When Price went 12-10 up, you could easily have said Van Gerwen could have lead 14-8, maybe more. During Price's best session of the match, MVG matched him and Price couldn't shake him off.

Cracking final and played in great spirits.

Missing 34 darts over 32 legs isn’t exactly first round or BDO standard
