Anderson burns Price: 'You better go back to the practice board'
NewsSunday, 28 January 2018 at 18:30
It is already known that Gary Anderson and Gerwyn Price are no friends on the tour. The Scotsman even named the Welshman 'a clown' last year prior to their game at the World Series of Darts Finals.
“We’ll play darts. I’m not the one who’s going to jump about the stage like a clown. If you hit a 180, that’s what you’re supposed to do, it’s not to showboat up there, so we’ll see what happens,” said the two-time world champion. The Scotsman labelled Price as a ‘circus-clown’ in a newspaper interview with the Scottish Sun Sport.
The two rivals faced each other again at the Unibet Masters in Milton Keynes. Once again, Anderson beat Price, this time by a 10-6 scoreline. During his post-match interview, the world number four had an advice for the Welshman.
"It was a struggle but I played well. If you can't beat a man with a bad back, you better go back to the practice board, simple as that'', stated Anderson after his game in an interview with ITV.

- Was watching an old World Masters final the other day between Eric Bristow and John Lowe, the crowd respect for both players on throw was first class, not a sound. You can imagine now the idiots who were whistling on De Deckers throw proudly boasting about it on social media. I blame the PDC to a certain extent though doubt they really care as they win regardless of which player wins or loses.Mysstree16-11-2024
- @UndartedWaters I totally agree with your thoughts! I totally respect Kirk but in this instance I was disappointed with his lack of crowd control. I even turned to my husband and said "Could you imagine this happening if Russ Bray was the referee tonight? At least there would have been a crowd admonishment- Ladies and Gentleman please." I so felt for Mike DeDecker...MamaVenus15-11-2024
- Many fans had a sour taste in their mouth by the end of this match. Mike was cruising to victory, playing beautiful darts, when the whistling started in earnest, particularly on his doubles. You could see in Mike's face that it was really affecting his concentration. The referee should have asked for order, just to show that the whistling is unacceptable, and Luke Littler could also have done his part to quieten down the crowd instead of "taking full advantage.:" I put that down to his age though. He needs some good advice on this from his management team and/or more seasoned players. It's got to be about who's best on the night, not who is being harassed by the crowd. Luke Littler played well to get back into the game and win, but it was a hollow victory. If he goes on to win the tournament, that triumph too will be tainted because of this match.
UndartedWaters15-11-2024 - Agree. Van der voort will be the one taking a break when he loses his tour card. Everyone saying about how bad Wright's last 18 months have been, and in that time he's won several Euro tours and the European Championships.Matilda6215-11-2024
- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
