I don't get the Price hatred either. Yes he is a bit over exuberant with his celebrations, but so is MVG. Friends of mine know him, and they say he is a really decent bloke and down to earth.
I enjoy watching darts, but really dislike the booing of players, irrespective whether I like them or not

I think my dislike of him is that he's prone to directing his triumphant yells in the direction of his opponent. He recently played Stephen Bunting in the semi final of the Grand Prix. I think he was 2 sets to 0 behind, not playing well, but managed to either level or take the lead, can't remember what exactly, after Bunting had darts to win the set. Price gave his famous "Goooo oonnn" but aimed it straight at Bunting. Bunting wilted afterwards and Price made the final without being anywhere near his best.
MVG can be vocal on stage, but not directly at his opponent.
It can all be a bit WWE at times, in the Q/f they were booing Wright. Price silenced the crowd in the final, the atmosphere was virtually non-existent.
