Gerwyn Price fumes after losing final: ''I felt I should have won this game"
PDC
Gerwyn Price failed to win the International Darts Open for the fifth time Sunday night. In the final of the Euro Tour tournament in Riesa, 'The Iceman' lost to Martin Schindler.
Price twice gained a break lead in the final, but lost his break almost immediately each time. In the tenth leg he was broken, after which the Welshman lost 8-5 to his German opponent.
The former world champion did not hide his disappointment afterwards. ''I’m a little bit disappointed in myself,'' Price said on the podium during the awards ceremony. ''I felt I should have won this game, but fair play to Martin, he’s a fantastic player and he played well there.''
Price then regretted that the crowd did not support him in the final, after 'The Iceman' had been heavily encouraged by the German fans in every match just before that. ''All this tournament the crowd have been on my side and the stats against me (in the final) are the crowd. Martin's a fantastic player, and Gabriel, and every German player's brilliant, but the crowd is an advantage.,'' Price said.
Playing in Germany v a German player I thought the crowd was very respectful but to expect them to cheer him is a bit of a stretch.
is any player more affected by the crowd than price? the man has skin like paper. it seems to be the single biggest impediment to him winning things nowadays.

- The Premier League isn’t a meritocracy as it’s not the top 8 players in the rankings, either at the start of the league or now. Dobey currently 9, Price 12. Aside from the top four Sky get picks, thats not meritocracy.Mysstree07-04-2025

- I agree. There needs to be a points system and preferably just a rolling one year. World Championship should earn the most points though it can be argued that the current qualification system does see a fair few players qualify from regional country qualifiers who would struggle to hold down a place on the Pro Tour. If prize money won is going to remain as the determining factor for ranking then the World Championship should just consist of the 128 Tour Card Holders. Another option would be to take the World Championship out of the rankings and have it as the stand alone pinnacle that you qualify for by winning certain tournaments or your ranking position, sort of like a GSOD+.Mysstree05-04-2025
- The Premier league has literally become a pantomime with a hero and villain, all thats needed is an older dart player in drag to play the joke old woman / queen and a younger woman to play the male hero. Barry is probably working on it now.Mysstree04-04-2025
