Simon Whitlock claimed another two points last night in the Premier League defeating Gerwyn Price. It wasn’t the best game for either player but he got over the line to cement his playoff hopes.
He spoke afterwards and admitted the two points is huge to him and is something he can build on. Whitlock also spoke about Price and he felt for him in terms of the toughness of the Premier League.
“It was a good win in the end and the two points is huge to me," said Whitlock. "I'm pushing towards the top four again now and I can build on that.
"I'm experienced in the Premier League and Gerwyn is new, and I do feel for him. He's a good mate and we get along great but the Premier League's tough.
"That's not the Gerwyn Price I know and it made it difficult for me because I'm feeling the pain he's going through but I had to do a job.
"I got there in the end but it was ugly. It wasn't a good performance but I'll take the two points."

- Am not outraged and as said above i dont like anyone from any country doing it to anyone from any country. Whoever is going for a double should have best of order.Mysstree17-11-2024
- Say what? It happens in other countries; Littler in January - this year (Holland), go and watch the evidence on YouTube. If it is going to be done to English players, then we are more than entitled to dish the same back when players face off in England. When it happened to Littler in Holland in January... where was your outrage then? ABE attitude.MrYnyslas197117-11-2024
- I dont like individuals or crowds trying to put any player off when they are trying to check out, how anyone can think its okay for the crowd to whistle or shout as someone is throwing for a double is beyond me but it does seem to have become part and parcel of the modern game. I no longer play now, darts is as good as dead at a local level round my way but when i did play many years ago, no matter how intense the rivalry you never shouted out or whistled when an opponent from the other team was throwing for a double.Mysstree17-11-2024
- The pundits glossing over the other factor at play in that match. They appear to be somewhat constrained in what they can say publicly.
UndartedWaters16-11-2024 - So, you don't like Littler, then? I was cheering him on, being a fellow Englishman. Honestly, some of us get far too offended nowadays. If you want to see crowd passion... watch a match when German and Dutch players face off... that can be just as bad if not worse for crowd noises. It happens, I have watched and heard Littler being jeered - Dirk van Duijvenbode in Holland, January this year. Where was your outrage then? Yes, I can clearly see what is going on here.MrYnyslas197116-11-2024
