well done price. Great victory.
You obviously don’t play much darts. Behaving like price would cause bother most places.

The key question here is this: if price had lost would he have shaken ando 's hand? Probably imo.DavidOwen67 wrote:Correct. Anderson was the one out of order, flouncing off the stage.The Master wrote: You always shake hands
But also if price had lost and walked off the stage in the heat of the moment would he had acknowledged ando's victory at the presentation? Definitely imo.
Can the ando fans on here not see, even if they dislike price's antics, that he was totally out of order as to how he acted re the presentation?

Quite, if Anderson is prepared to give it in interviews and use tactics with other players then he should be able to take it - I’m sure he’s gone down a lot in peoples estimations tonight, shame.

He can give it but he can't take it.
smug when wining, crying when losing. Gary 'the power ' Anderson
I'm with sandman, price is an utter twat and bad for the future of the game.
Perhaps he would have shaken Anderson’s hand if he didn’t leave the stage??

I agree I think he over stepped the Mark In the final and Gary reacted which he should not have I don’t think it last we heard of this eithergm180 wrote:You just need to go on YouTube and type in Gerwyn Price incident and see what comes up, there's loads of them.

Gamesmanship wins the game once more here. Just imagine for one second you're up there on that stage trying to play a game of darts, and the bloke you're playing scores a ton, shouts loudly turning round in your face, turns to the crowd to shout at winning a leg, all whilst leaving your darts in the board.
How can there be a defence for Gerwyn Price? Very good player clearly, but winning through playing games and acting like a 5-year-old who's unwrapped a new Christmas present. get up, throw your darts, give a fist pump if a great score/meaningful moment and retrieve your darts. That is still entertaining and not boring. Mr Taylor did this for years and it was bloody great to watch.

Price : the 1st Welsh man to win a pdc televised major (according to comms ). Is this correct?

Re: PDC Grand Slam of Darts- 10th-18th November 2018- Wolverhampton
Haha, so after throwing his first dart into the T20 he just magically stops because he's hearing things? What a ridiculous thing to say, seems to be every other game Price is having he's being out of order, you cannot defend his behaviour!phil davies wrote:No the better player won the game. Gary should have played better if he wanted to win.

Don't like the way Price acted on stage tonight. Anderson shouldn't have let it get to him as well though.
But Price even admitted on Dutch tv he did it to put Anderson off. That's not the direction that darts needs to go to, in my opinion.

Re: PDC Grand Slam of Darts- 10th-18th November 2018- Wolverhampton
Anderson is my favourite player, ever, but Price is fair game in what he does, AND he does throw the darts to back it up.
Re: PDC Grand Slam of Darts- 10th-18th November 2018- Wolverhampton
The level of post match comment shows the interest his antics provoke. Bazza won't mind that one bit.
I was there on Friday for the Whitlock game.
Last 10 legs were watched very keenly by the Tournament Director from the side of the stage. Clearly it was not thought that he's transgressed any rules, or we'd have heard by now.
Yes he's a bit OTT but no-one claims to be put off by wild goal celebrations of players who weren't even the goalscorer on the soccer pitch.
Opponents need to play the board and their own scores, not bitch about losing.

Re: PDC Grand Slam of Darts- 10th-18th November 2018- Wolverhampton
To be fair though, Price didn't have to score a goal to unhinge. Just throwing three decent darts was enough to set him off.
Don't like Price's antics, but Gary should have just stood back and let him finish, instead it all got to him as planned. Do feel Anderson rushed the oche when (as much as it pained him) he should have just let Price be Price, then stepped up for his own throw.
As for those who think Anderson was out of line at the end not shaking hands, I think if you are going to act out like Price, don't expect your opponent to be a better sportsman than you. I'm sure it didn't bother Price not to get a handshake.
MVG, Price, Anderson, its like WWE is scripting the PDC events lately!

This tournament has showed that the Welshman is an unsporting cheat. That is not the correct way to win tournaments by clearly obstructing your opponents.
I'm not saying this because he has won against a player of whom I'm a big fan.
For a little less than that Adrian Lewis was suspended from the UK Open Qualifiers earlier this year so I do hope that steps are taken by the authorities in this direction with regards Gerwyn Price.
