Gerwyn Price left the stage disillusioned, after losing in the quarter-finals of the PDC World Darts Championship against Michael Smith.

The Welshman, who threw a nine-darter earlier in the match and missed two match darts in the eighth set, lost 5-4 to his English opponent. During the match, Price also caused a remarkable moment by by ensuring that a visitor was sent out of Alexandra Palace.

Price had the crowd against him again. The fans were booing and whistling when The Iceman was throwing. ''Cheats'', the world number one wrote on Instagram to vent his frustrations.

Price later came up with a more detailed response. ''Absolutely gutted to go out in the last 8 of the World Championships. Having worked so hard in the last few months, so proud of myself for just being me and playing the best I can, even with all the hurdles in front of me. I will get stronger, I will come back better, I will practice harder, I will sacrifice more (and) I will succeed. I will do everything it takes to be the best. I will be back. Class is permanent'', he added.

Price must be angry about the treatment that he got from some nobodies among the crowd and the lack of protection that he and all the non English players have been afforded by the PDC officials. This started to get out of hand when they allowed the crowd to boo male players when they played against females. The PDC wants Sherrock and Ashton to win the odd match and then the media can hype them up as though they won the whole event and the crowd putting off their opponent on their doubling helps. Unfortunately the lowest common denominator among the crowd will sink lower and lower if they are allowed to unchecked and this along with covid testing healthy players has ruined this years world darts championship. Whoever lifts the title this year will know in their heart that it has been tarnished and massively devalued . VVDV, MVG and DC most likely got their covid infections from the crowd and even though all of them are totally well, the rules forced them to withdraw. This is a great shame for them and darts as they have done everything that they possibly could to avoid infection, living in bubbles in their private lives and making many sacrifices only to be punished by poor organisation and contradictary rules. Get it sorted.
